On the letter of state sent to Black Cloud City, Gu Zhongxun, the king of the Northern Alliance, personally wrote down the composition of the welcoming team and the number of gifts: since Black Cloud City was forbidden to send troops into the country, the Northern Alliance decided to send 150,000 people into the welcoming team as young and strong laborers to send to Black Cloud City. If the Black Cloud City Imperial Court thinks that there are still shortcomings, it also hopes to give the Xuanwu Kingdom a certain amount of time for the Northern Alliance Imperial Court to plan. In addition, there is also a gift that comes with the team, please check it. The total number of gifts were: 8 million gold coins, 10 million stones of grain and grass, and 500,000 catties of iron ore. Due to the defeat of the two wars, the current treasury is empty, and the people are poor, and I hope that Black Cloud City can show mercy. A small gift, not a tribute, please smile.

When the King of Wu Yan handed over this letter to Luo Ming. The king couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and asked Luo Ming strangely: "Aiqing, you only said that you sent His Royal Highness the prince back to their Northern Alliance for nothing, why did they send such a generous gift?"

Luo Ming replied: "Your Majesty Mingjian: Wei Chen did not reach out to the Northern Alliance Imperial Court to ask for any gifts, they were afraid of the national prestige of our Black Cloud City, so they came to honor Your Majesty. But ......" Luo Ming's eyes rolled, and he couldn't help blurting out a rude word: "Gu Zhongxun, this old fritter is also very slammering, and the things given are less than I expected." ”

In accordance with Luo Ming's instructions, the reception officials of Black Cloud City only said that they had received this letter and did not make any comments. This made Gu Zhongxun struggle for several days, and he couldn't figure out whether Luo Ming was happy or dissatisfied.

The king, who hesitated again and again, for fear that his son Gu Yinqi would be wronged and abused, specially added another 2 million gold coins, 1 million stone grain and 100,000 catties of refined iron to the gift. It should be noted that although there are currently two large-scale iron-rich ore mines in the Northern Alliance, the iron ore contains too many impurities after all. It is almost impossible for 500,000 catties of iron ore to smelt 100,000 catties of refined iron. Therefore, he did add a lot of weight to the gift this time.

According to Luo Ming's instructions, the reception officials of Black Cloud City still did not make any indications, but only received the officials of the Northern Alliance lukewarmly. With the specific negotiation between the members of the mission of the Northern Alliance and the Black Cloud City, the huge team to greet the prince, under the strict supervision of the Black Cloud City army, carried gift transport vehicles and entered the territory of Black Cloud City one after another.

The agents of the Wolf's Lair almost poured out their nests, with the strong assistance of the Blackshirts, to sift through the labor that had been transported. For the old, weak, sick and disabled deliberately mixed in by the Northern Alliance, they will all be refused. Some were identified as bullies and scoundrels, or were denied admission to prison criminals. However, the restrictions on women and children are not very strict, and most healthy women of childbearing age are allowed to pass, and children are generally allowed to pass as long as they are not too young, sick or stupid.

The Northern Alliance originally thought that it would be able to get through the trick in transporting labor and send some burdens over, but they didn't expect that Black Cloud City was quite strictly controlled. They had to forcibly recruit some more people to come and make up the numbers.

The welcoming ceremony lasted for three whole days. When Prince Gu Yinqi finally arrived in the capital of the Northern Alliance safely and intact. Gu Zhongxun gradually came back to his senses, first began to feel the gift he sent, and then began to recall the entire diplomatic process, and couldn't help but scold: "This damn little bastard told me to give away so many things for nothing without saying a word." And there he secretly laughed at our stupidity.

"Hu Yingxuan!" Gu Zhongxun shouted sharply: "You thief with the army, where did you die?"

Hu Yingxuan trembled a few steps forward, knelt down and replied: "The minister is afraid, the minister deserves death!" The king was so angry that he thought, maybe it was still his best choice to send out the army to fill the army. Didn't the king call him a thief with an army?

Suddenly, his mind spun around, and he immediately preempted the king before he could send him down, and said, "Your Majesty, that little devil is really hateful. This time, you have deceived us of a lot of state materials, and if you don't kill them, you're not enough to make the people angry, if you don't kill them, you're not enough to calm the world, and if you don't kill them, you're not going to uphold justice! Your Majesty, the plan you gave your subordinates a few days ago will be carried out in accordance with our established policy?"

"That's right!" Gu Zhongxun was instantly diverted. Because as soon as he mentioned that Luo Ming, he couldn't get angry. Immediately slapped the table and roared, "You must kill this little ghost." Give you a chance to atonement for your crimes: go and study my plan from the beginning and study it carefully, and be sure to put that little devil to death. ”

"Minister's order!" Hu Yingxuan secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, thinking: Fortunately, you have enough hatred for this kid. I'll have the wit to say that my plan is yours, at least for the time being, so that I won't be murderous. Hey, it looks like if I can't kill that kid, I'll have to find my own way.

It took Xiao Yu several days to finally clean up the pendant space like a boy's nest. A large number of women's products were moved into the space ring "Luo Ming Mansion" in the former Tianzhu. Even the name of "Luo Ming Mansion" was changed by her to "Xiao Yu Boudoir".

Luo Ming went in and took a look and said he was very satisfied. As the day of upgrading approached, Luo Ming said to Xiao Yu on a whim: "Do you think it's okay for me to hide in the secret room of the space pendant when I cross the tribulation?

Xiao Yu replied with a smile: "This idea is not good, the pendant will be shattered." ”

Luo Ming asked, "How can it be? This pendant has super strong defense, and it is so small." Generally speaking, what kind of divine sword Wanli Yuwenba can't beat it with skills. I'm hiding in that secret room, isn't there no danger?"

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Are you a little worried about the catastrophe?"

"It's not. Luo Ming looked carefully at the delicate and beautiful pendant and said, "I just had a whim, and I was a little curious." I think this idea is very new. Has anyone ever thought of a similar idea before?"

"Yes. The subordinate blinked a pair of cute big eyes and said seriously: "Xiao Yu has heard that someone has hid in a very deep basement, but the energy of the catastrophe will eventually be concentrated in that basement. Xiang Gong thought about it, what a terrifying thing it would be to concentrate all the abnormal energy in such a large area into one room. The damage taken by the practitioner will be increased many times over. Xiao Yu heard that after the tragedy, the secret room was destroyed to pieces, and the robbers did not even leave a corpse. ”
