Chapter 0040: Empress E
The so-called upper room here is actually a room with slightly better living conditions, which is basically equivalent to the wooden house of the earliest Tenchi in Izumo Peak.
And after Tianchi arrived, there was no superfluous action, and it didn't take long after he stayed to inform the local minister of his intention.
In the afternoon of the same day, Tianchi received an edict, and the new emperor came to visit in person.
When I saw Emperor E for the first time, Tianchi's first feeling was that it was stunning and simple, without a luxurious yellow robe, and without the majesty that the Son of Heaven should have.
But then again, under such conditions, even if you want to talk about pomp, I'm afraid it's very difficult to do it.
"The Holy Son of Heaven Emperor E is above, and the Qianshui Sect Tianchi has come to pay a visit. ”
After all, there is no grudge between Qianshui Sect and this Emperor E, and Tianchi will still abide by the due etiquette, although there is no need to pay homage, but Tianchi still bows after seeing Emperor E.
"The Venerable Master doesn't need to be polite, your sect can come to this remote place in the midst of your busy schedule, and I hope you will forgive you for not being well entertained, and sit down peacefully. ”
The new Emperor E nodded and said.
In the secular world, monks are called Venerable Men, which means Venerable Men, which is also a kind of honorific title.
"Tianchi has lived in the barren mountains for a long time, and he doesn't dare to be a person, and there are places where there are no courtesies, please forgive me. ”
Tianchi sat down, and then said with a smile.
"People outside your sect, you don't have to be rigid about etiquette, my southern country is barren, and I have prepared a thin courtesy, and I hope to smile and accept it. ”
Emperor E smiled disappreciably and nodded, and then ordered the corporal to present the gift list, and there were even wrestlers in the rear to carry the local famous food.
Tianchi casually took the gift list and glanced at it, there were 100 second-order demon cores, yellow and white things, and a number of jewels and jade treasures.
Seriously, this thin gift is indeed thin enough, in the Thousand Water Sect, this is just the harvest of a disciple from an outer sect who goes to the back mountain for a day or two.
However, Tianchi also saw that it was not that the other party was stingy, looking at the current situation, about this little thing, it may already consume half of the treasury's inventory.
"Hmm. ”
Tianchi, who had been silent for a while, only hummed in the end, indicating that he accepted it.
This makes Emperor E a little uncertain, to be honest, she also knows that this gift list is indeed a little thinner, she can even imagine the disdain of the other party after receiving the gift list before she comes, and Tianchi's current performance is already quite giving this Emperor E face.
"What do you think about the matter of assistance?"
Although he was desperate in his heart, Emperor E could only ask Tianchi with a hard head.
"There is no urgency in this matter, can you send a minister to show me around? ”
Tianchi nodded, and then said noncommittally.
"In that case, I will take the people around myself, and if you have any questions, you can ask them directly. ”
Emperor E guessed that the other party should be a prevarication, but she didn't want to give up, she still wanted to fight for the last hope, so she got up and took the initiative to say.
"There is labor. ”
Tianchi didn't refuse, but got up directly and said.
"All the ministers and corporals may return. ”
Out of the post station, Emperor E retreated on both sides.
The reason is very simple, if Tianchi wants to be unfavorable to her, no one here can resist, but if Tianchi has the heart to protect her, then there is naturally no danger, if there are outsiders who are unfavorable to her, then if Tianchi can't protect her, she can only consider herself unlucky, and it is time for her to die for the country.
The two walked on the street, and the people on the side of the road saw that it was Emperor E who was there, and they all knelt on the ground to greet each other, and it could be seen that this Emperor E was indeed an admired empress.
"Let's go out of town. ”
Looking at the reactions of the people around him, in order not to affect the daily life of others, Tianchi had to say with a wry smile.
Emperor E naturally had no opinion, but took the lead in taking Tianchi towards the city gate.
Out of the city gate, except for a few reclaimed wastelands, all of them are smooth roads, and there is no trace of prosperity.
"This is the barren land of my southern country, since the emperor looted and burned this place, it has become arid and desolate. ”
Looking at the tragic scene in front of him, Emperor E couldn't help laughing at himself, but his eyes were full of unwillingness and a trace of hatred.
"Emperor E, in the face of such a scene, do you think your country is still qualified to let my Thousand Waters Sect assist?"
Tianchi didn't seem to notice Emperor E's expression, but suddenly said lightly.
"Not a single bit. ”
Emperor E replied quietly.
Indeed, the Qianshui Sect has a great cause, and if he agrees to assist, even if he is canonized as a national sect, he is also a subordinate.
A big sect like the Thousand Water Sect that was at the top of the three Great Xia sects in the past is unlikely to be able to do anything.
"If the two princes come to attack, does Emperor E think that this southern land has a chance of winning?"
Tianchi continued to ask with a blank face.
"For a moment, not a single tile remains. ”
Emperor E did not try to exaggerate his strength, but said bluntly.
"How many people does your country have?"
Tianchi continued to ask.
"Everywhere combined, there are less than 100,000. ”
Emperor E replied.
"That being the case...... And I promised you. ”
Tianchi closed his eyes and thought for a while, and finally suddenly said to Emperor E.
"Promise?!?...... Can the Venerable Master be the master of the Thousand Waters Sect, and you don't have to go back to make a decision?"
Emperor E was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe his ears, but soon, after calming down, he couldn't help but hurriedly continue to ask.
"If I'm not mistaken, I seem to have become a young sect master recently, but to be honest, I agreed not because I am optimistic about you here, or even because I don't like it at all, the reason why I agreed is just because I personally dislike the two princes in the north, that's all. ”
Tianchi let out a long sigh, and then said indifferently.
"The Venerable Master was also a straightforward man, so what happened after that ......"
Emperor E looked at Tianchi with a strange face and said.
"I have a letter here, which was written by the sect master to the Son of Heaven, of course, the requirement can only be taken out after the negotiation is made, and now my task is completed. ”
Tianchi said, reached into the bag, and then took out a roll of wax-sealed cowhide coupons and handed it to Emperor E.
After Emperor E took it, he opened it directly, and after reading it, he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Tianchi with a strange face.
"It seems...... It seems that the Venerable Master could not leave it alone at this moment, because there was only one sentence in the letter, which said that the Venerable Master had full authority to assist him......
"What? I'll see. ”
Tianchi took the letter in Emperor E's hand as he spoke, and after reading it, his whole face couldn't help but darken.
"The Venerable Master...... You can't regret it, right?"
Emperor E looked at Tianchi with a tentative expression, and found that the other party's face was becoming more and more angry, and he couldn't help but ask in his heart.
"No, it won't. ”
Tianchi gritted his teeth and said, and after speaking, he handed over the cowhide coupon to Emperor E.
Originally, I came out to relax, and after the matter was resolved, I was going to go around and go back, but I didn't expect to be put on a stand by the cheap dad who wanted to be the shopkeeper.
But the words have been said just now, and now the regret has really become a repeated villain.
But it's okay, I'm not going to go back, see who's in a hurry in the end!
Tianchi had even thought about what would happen after he ran to his mother to complain!
After it was getting late, Tianchi returned to the city with Emperor E, but instead of returning to the post station, he was directly taken to the palace to live.
It's just that it is said to be a palace, but in fact, it is a relatively large courtyard, plus a relatively large house, and a relatively large garden......
It is conceivable that the previous gift list, this Emperor E did have invested enough money, and he took it out knowing that there was a possibility of losing all his money.
"It's hard to imagine that you can come up with so many things. ”
Walking on the garden path, looking at the scene in front of him, Tianchi couldn't help but say to Emperor E with a strange face, of course, there was no meaning to laugh.
"Where can you get those ...... in the land of the south? It's just that I brought all the assets I brought here in the first place, and I used a little bit before, and the rest is the things on the gift list. ”
Emperor E smiled bitterly and shook his head and said.
And after listening to her words, Tianchi suddenly had a feeling that he was the bad guy, as if a bully had robbed a little girl from a poor family of her dowry.
"Uh...... Emperor E is really benevolent and righteous and sacrificed himself for the public, cough cough, even so, I think I should also pay tribute on behalf of the sect. ”
Tianchi said with an embarrassed face.
"There is no need for respect, your sect can already agree to assist, it is already an additional favor......"
"No, yes, you have to......! In this way, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, you issued a national proclamation, and selected a thousand domestic disciples to go to the Qianshui Sect to learn art, of course, this alone does not seem to solve the current poverty, I wrote a letter, you sent a messenger to the Qianshui Sect, asking for money, food, ......"
Tianchi stopped, and then said with an affirmative face.
A thousand disciples is nothing, at most it is a little effort to teach.
As for money, generally the sect will set up an estate outside, but the monks themselves don't need it very much, so they can't spend the money they earn, at most they will occasionally use it when they look at something in the world.
Therefore, the value of money and food, which are indispensable in the world, is far less valuable than the demon core or various materials in the eyes of the monks.
As for Emperor E, he was also stunned on the spot at this time.
Unlike Tianchi's thoughts, this money is secondary, although it is also extremely important, but it is far less than the sentence that the thousand children went to the Thousand Waters Sect to learn art.
Because this is basically equivalent to announcing to the world that the Thousand Waters Sect is going to support Emperor Nanguo, and more importantly, if it is rumored that the Thousand Waters Sect has immortal power to guard it.
Many people want to enter the Thousand Water Sect to learn the arts, but the Thousand Water Sect refuses on the grounds of internal rectification, and there are many outstanding monks among the rejected people, but the more mysterious the Thousand Water Sect is, the more people firmly believe that the Thousand Water Sect has powerful ideas.
What's more, if the children of the world want to enter the great sect to practice, they generally have to go through many tests and tests, and now these are all exempted, which is undoubtedly the benefit of falling from the sky......
"This is a great grace, Emperor E's thanks. ”
As he spoke, Emperor E solemnly lifted his skirt and bowed.
"You don't have to thank me, because money is secondary, but I want to warn you in advance of these thousand disciples, it may not be too easy to go there, and if you want to become a master right away, then it's better not to go. ”
Tianchi waved his hand and reminded by the way.
In fact, Tianchi also has his reasons for doing this, now the Qianshui Sect lacks manpower, and only he knows the immortal power that is circulating in the market, in fact, what is going on, and when everyone finds out that the Qianshui Sect does not have the so-called immortal power, there will definitely be another turmoil, so Tianchi also has a reason to do this......
