"Hey, the sun god is coming for you, too?"

"Is there anyone looking for you?"

Ji Le and Yang Ke stood on the wall of Jiugong City, looking down at the "Wheat City" outside the city. Next to the two, a jar of rice wine is placed. After Yang Ke was full, he handed it to Ji Le: "Well, the descendant of the sun god." Isn't it all because of you?"

"Accidents, all accidents. Drinking wine, Ji Le couldn't help but defend: "I didn't expect that the effect of "Qi Shenji" was so good. ”

"So, what about the king's request?"

"Promise, but remember to order more. ”

"From the sun god knocked a gold mine. Their royal family is here......" Yang Ke immediately smiled: "How about borrowing Yu Dao?"

Ji Le shook his head: "In the end, it is the descendant of the sun god, the inheritance of the main god." How easy is it to treat them as Yu Guo? We always have to consider the attitude of the sun god, and we can't do things casually. ”

The pottery cup in Yang Ke's hand was also filled with wine, and the two gently clinked glasses. I only heard Ji Le continue: "In this era when the gods are prosperous and the city-state civilization is thriving, we must always maintain some benevolence and righteousness. Only in this way can future development be facilitated. ”

In this era, deceit between countries is still relatively rare. Most city-states are pretty straightforward in their fighting. Set a time for each other, and then arrange up for a fight, and treachery and the like are rare.

"Okay, then try to establish diplomatic relations, and then use it as our stronghold in the East. ”

"Do it first. As long as the other party doesn't make it bad, there is no harm in having multiple friends. ”

But if the other party takes the lead, then Xia Guo has a reason to fight back?

"Also, what do you talk about the seeds of those crops and the agricultural technology of various countries?"

"Two days ago, I took a fancy to several batches of fruits and vegetables from the Toya Kingdom. Mr. Tian Ping has been talking about it a long time ago, and he believes that there will be a result. It's a big deal to trade sugar cane. By the way, aren't you the bud of Tumu? I've already sent someone to talk about it, and I should take it. ”

"As for agricultural technology...... We intend to have a technical exchange with the waterwheel irrigation method and Bardo. However, what we need to change is not their agricultural technology, but the Gangqi cultivation method. This is what Huo Da Sima meant. ”

"Bi Yao's martial arts?" Ji Le hurriedly asked, "Wu Anjun didn't say anything?"

"Regarding martial arts, I asked Wu Anjun. He said that his cultivation method focused on 'divine will', not just the cultivation of Gang Qi and martial souls. But he is not afraid of us sending people to study, but the results are relatively slow. ”

Huo Quzhi's cultivation method is to cast an immortal martial soul and condense his qi and blood. But Bai Qi pays more attention to artistic conception, killing people with "intention", rather than simply "force". This point restricts the vast majority of martial artists from having difficulty comprehending his cultivation methods.

"According to my discussion with General Meng Tian, I want to improve the strength of the army and meet the catastrophe of fate. I'm afraid that the way of martial souls, especially with the Gangqi cultivation method, is the fastest to achieve results. As for the 'Divine Consciousness Dao', it is more suitable for cultivating martial arts masters. ”

"Look at it. This kind of thing, you are the king, and you handle it yourself. ”

"This catastrophe of fate, you are the protagonists of the struggle on the stage. I'm just a mascot sitting in the rear. ”

"But as long as you're there, the country exists, and everyone can feel at ease, isn't it?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, clinking glasses again.

Seeing Xia Guo leading the harvest festival, both of them were very happy in their hearts.

A year ago, the political and economic center of the entire continental city-state was the Tumu dynasty. But with Ji Le's efforts again and again, Xia Guo became more and more sharp.

The harvest festival held in the summer country has a strong political connotation. This heralds the gradual shift of the absolute political center of the Tumu dynasty for 800 years. As a foreign civilization, the Xia Kingdom also symbolizes that foreign civilizations have truly begun to dominate the civilization process of the world.

Behind Tumu and Xia was a brief confrontation between the local civilization circle and the extraterritorial civilization circle.

Of course, under the high pressure of the catastrophe of fate, the spirits of the great powers did not cause a real conflict with this. It's just that......

"I see Tumu. ”

"He's here too?"

"It's not just him, but all the spirits of Toya, Bado, and other city-states are here. Ji Le looked down at Mai Cheng: "This harvest festival gathers at least fifty national spirits and thirty heavenly gods. ”

If it weren't for Yuan Xi joining forces with him to protect the territory of the Xia Kingdom and open the mountain and river barrier to the maximum, he wouldn't have dared to let so many gods in.

"This shows that the influence of our Xia Kingdom is not to be underestimated, making the national spirit and even the gods look sideways, doesn't it?"

Yang Ke looked at those gods in Maicheng, and pride rose inexplicably in his chest.

Now it's just a matter of letting the gods come to participate in the celebration of the Xia Kingdom. When will the Xia Kingdom be able to puff up its chest, truly canonize the gods, and establish its own Xia god system?

......

In Maicheng, among the people involved in Tumu, there was a man dressed as a priest who was quietly observing the harvest sacrifice in front of him.

The active vegetable elves jumped over his head, and a few jack-o-lanterns grimaced at him before running away in a burst of laughter.

"Xia Guo, it's Xia Guo again!"

Over the past year, Xia Guo has exerted his influence again and again. In particular, the Battle of Hades was in the limelight and became the most favored country of the Earth Mother God. All this made Tumu Guoling very uncomfortable.

"I didn't expect that I would have so many opponents at one simple decentralization. ”

A year ago, the Tumu dynasty was on the verge of collapse. For the sake of the overall situation of the national spirit, Tumu intends to choose an heir among the local national spirits, cultivate Doga or Bado to inherit his own status, and maintain the glory of the national spirits.

At that time, it was indeed the moment when the national spirits were most united.

But it was that decentralization that made the two kingdoms see the weakness of Tumu and understand that they also have the potential to be inferior to Tumu, so they have ambitions. At the same time, two powerful extraterritorial kingdoms are also catching up, revealing the powerful heritage they have brought with them from their homeland.

It was after that that it became clear that Tumu was still the most powerful national spirit. However, the rule of the unitary national spirit, which was originally dominated by itself for hundreds of years, is gradually dividing.

The alliance between Xia and Rome swept almost all foreign civilizations into it, forming two camps, native and foreign. And this is a scene that Tumu Guoling has deliberately avoided from the beginning. Because Tumu himself knows that when the national spirit forms a bipolar pattern, the local civilization will face great disadvantages!

"We can't win over these countries with the heritage of their homeland civilization in terms of civilization. The only advantage is the gods. But—"

At present, there are many gods, even if the Tumu Dynasty is the most favored dynasty by the gods, there is no way to have absolute victory in the catastrophe of fate. Nowadays, even which side of the god system Tumu leans towards is a troublesome matter.

"In the future, I am afraid that the only people who will compete with me for the position of the empire are Rome and Xia. ”

Rome's thoughts, Tumu is confident that he can still see a few points.

They plan to train Mars, the Roman god of war, to seize the position of Durama, the god of war, and to give birth to their own main god for Rome. But Xia Guo ......

To this day, the Tumu Kingdom still can't figure out what the Xia Kingdom is. Judging from the harvest festival, it seems that the other party intends to support the goddess Yuanxi, but the power of the daughter of the north wind may not be enough to protect the Xia Kingdom in the catastrophe of fate. So, where is the confidence of Xia Guo? and do you want to entrust everything to the national spirit itself?

Thinking of this, Tumu Guoling felt a little sympathy for Ji Le.

No national spirit is more tired than Ji Le. The state is a collective, not owned by a single person or a single spirit. If all the pressures are left to the national spirit, how can the self-reliance and self-improvement of the people be cultivated?

Looking at the vague aura on the city wall, Tumu Guoling secretly sighed: "I hope you can have a good ending in the future." ”

Although Tumu Guoling regarded Ji Le as a competitor, he did not want this fellow to eventually lead to his demise in advance because of his frequent use of divine power.

......

On the city wall, Yang Ke looked up at the sky: "It's not early, I promised to take Nangong and them to the celebration for a visit, and I went down first." ”

"Remember to send my son back to the Spirit Palace first. ”

"Thank you, that's my son. Yang Ke didn't reply: "I plan to take my son to this celebration together." I don't want my son to grow up and complain that I don't play with him, causing him to miss such a historic harvest festival. ”

Humming a song, Yang Ke went to Maicheng to find his wives.

Ji Le shook the wine bottle and stood quietly on the city wall and looked out.

In the afternoon, the wheat city was particularly lively, and the envoys of various countries returned to the spirit palace to discuss the trade of agricultural products with each other. Rows of street vendors are lined up on both sides of the streets of Maicheng, attracting customers from all over the world.

"Ji Le-" The wind blew, and the girl in gold suddenly appeared beside her.

"It's okay in the afternoon, let's go for a walk, shall we?"

"We?" Ji Le pointed to each other's clothes, and then to his own clothes: "Is it appropriate for the two of us to go out and hang out?"

As the two of them, going to the street market is afraid that it will cause a riot, right?

"Just go back and change your clothes, and then use magic to transform into a mortal. Goddess Yuanxi pulled Ji Le's arm and led him to the Harvest Temple to change his clothes.

"It's just you and me, do you want to bring the others......?

Thinking of Ji Le's impossible marriage contract with Qingling, the goddess was still uncomfortable in her heart: "No, it's just you and me." The sisters were with God the Father and drank with the gods. ”

So, as the protagonist, you should also be accompanied!

A trace of helplessness flashed on Ji Le's face, but looking at the girl's side face, the words turned around his mouth: "Okay, let's go around in private." In the evening, maybe we can even have a bonfire. ”

"Yes, yes!"

After changing their costumes at the temple, the two disguised themselves as two ordinary citizens and went to the streets of Wheat City.

On both sides of the main street of Wheat City, which is made of wheat stacks, there are various vendors selling toys and snacks. Close to the two of them, there are windmills, masks, lanterns, and so on.

"Do you want to eat something?" Ji Le shook the money bag in his hand: "Fortunately, I was prepared and prepared change in advance." ”

"Then eat whatever you want. Yuan Xi suddenly pulled Ji Le and ran to a stall selling fans.

There are all kinds of fans sold here, with bamboo as the bone and silk as the surface. The fan surface as thin as a cicada's wings is painted with pictures of graceful ladies.

Yuan Xi picked up the fan, and his face showed a little curiosity.

"The girl has good eyesight, is this going out to play with Lang Jun? The pattern on this fan is painted and painted by His Royal Highness himself. ”

"Country?" Won-hee said with surprise in his words, turning his head to look at Ji Le.

Ji Le raised his eyebrows and looked at the fan. Well...... Indeed, the fan has its own style of painting. But I don't remember that I ever sold fans.

Most of the fans he drew with his own hands were given to the witches of the Spirit Palace and the girls of the Hidden Palace.

"Not the state, of course. It was copied by us, but the pattern was definitely designed by the state itself. ”

As soon as he heard that it was not Ji Le's handwriting, Yuan Xi immediately lost interest.

When Ji Le heard this, he squatted down to inspect the fan, and faintly had some impressions of the lady's picture: "Old man, this fan is flowing from the palace?"

"Yes, yes, Lang Jun has good eyesight. Presumably, ......" Seeing the girl next to him, the old man resolutely closed his mouth, and said, "By the way, do you want to pick one for the girl personally?" ”

"No need!" Without waiting for Ji Le to speak, Yuan Xi took the lead in grabbing Bai, and then pulled Ji Le up: "Let's go somewhere else." ”

"What, you don't like it?" asked Ji Le when he was far away.

"It's nothing, I just think it's boring for outsiders to draw. ”

Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she pointed to a woman in a red skirt not far away.

"Look over there—"

Ji Le fixed his eyes and saw a bright yellow earth divine power above the woman's head.

"Goddess Loya, she is also pretending to be a mortal?"

"It's not just her. Yuan Xi saw a group of girls fishing on the other side of the street, and his face was obviously a little bad: "Unexpectedly, they also came." ”

"They are ......" How do you feel, these girls have traces of wind god power on their bodies?

"The old adversary, the girl in the purple dress who is fishing for fish, is the goddess who is in charge of the western storm. Yuan Xi disagreed: "We young goddesses grew up together, and I didn't have a good personality with her, and we often clashed. ”

Yuan Xi is in charge of the storm among the gods of the north wind.

"And what about the outcome?"

"I'll give the other three Storm Gods a hand!" Won-hee's words were full of pride and confidence.

There is no way, this is the confidence that the Critical Upper God Realm has. As long as she is given time, she can break the bloodline barrier and step into the realm that only the Father and Mother Gods can enter, and even in the distant future, the throne of the Lord God will have her.

"Let's take a detour, then. "Ji Le and Yuan Xi went out to hang out privately, but they didn't plan to make trouble.

"Well, today is a good day for you and me, it's not worth being angry with them. The two secretly turned into another street and found a fire shop to eat.

On the watchtower of Jiugong City, Bai Qi sat on the top of the thatched tower, quietly watching the actions of Ji Le and Yuan Xi.

Others can't perceive it, but how can they hide the existence of a contract with Ji Le?

Looking at the sneaky actions of the two, a smile appeared on Bai Qi's face.

"They're together, isn't it okay?" I don't know when, Shi Huangshi came to Bai Qi's side.

Bai Qi's expression paused, and he asked lightly, "What's the problem?"

"One god, one nation, can't come together. ”

Bai sneered and smiled, silently paying attention to Yuan Xi beside Ji Le.

"Can't come together, who knows what's going to happen in the future?"

Seeing Bai Qi's attitude, Emperor Shi frowned secretly. At present, Xia Guo's attitude towards Goddess Yuanxi is to regard her as an ally and a partner for cooperation. But regarding the relationship between Yuan Xi and Ji Le, including Yang Ke, Yu Yuan and others, they did not allow the gods of the outside world to touch their own national spirits.

The spirit of the country, the incarnation of a country. If you marry a god, it is equivalent to giving up half of the fortune of the country. Encountering a powerful god can even lead to a shift in primary and secondary power, causing the sovereignty of the entire country to be seized by the gods.

An example of this already exists. It is good to be a national spirit, because he loves a certain goddess to share his city-state with the goddess. But it wasn't long before the worship of the goddess overrode the national faith, causing that country to be controlled by the sect of the goddess. Even the status of the national spirit itself is not as good as the favored priests under the hands of the goddess.

"Love is the most elusive thing in the world, and you need to be cautious. ”

"That's true for others, but His Royal Highness Yuanxi don't worry. The most important thing in the relationship between the gods and the national spirit is that the status is equal, and even the state is the leader. As long as this can be done, it doesn't matter whether the marriage contract is or not. ”

"Really?" Emperor Shi looked disapproving.

Let's wait and see what the future holds.

Bai Qi quietly watched the scene below. In the future, His Royal Highness Guoling not only carried out a divine marriage, but he married four goddesses in one go.

"But the only one who can really bring him happiness is His Royal Highness Yuan Xi. ”
