When they arrived at the east gate, it was just in time for the opening of the city, and before the gate of the city was opened, everyone rode their horses and whips and went away, so that the guards thought that the thieves had run away, and hurriedly reported it to the next level.

Zhou Yang and the others didn't care about this, they hurried up, crossed the county through the prefecture, and galloped all the way. The mountain road gradually disappeared, and was replaced by a smooth road. Because of Jin Chengguo

After the realm, there are basically no mountain roads, and there are endless plains everywhere.

At the junction of Jincheng and Wuhai, there is a wide river, its name is called Jiehe, and the east of Jiehe is the territory of Wuhaiguo.

Wu Haiguo is not only close to the sea of life, but the rivers in the country are also criss-crossed, and there are no less than dozens of large rivers in each county, and you can see the flow of water flowing with white light everywhere.

Thousands of miles of fertile fields and abundant water sources, so Wu Haiguo is a famous granary nearby, and even Jin Chengguo encountered a poor harvest year, and also purchased a large amount of grain from Wu Haiguo for disaster relief.

Therefore, although the population of Wuhai is not too large, the national strength is very strong, and it is a transportation artery leading to the sea of life, so although Jin Chengguo is large, most of the time it still depends on Wuhai's snort.

Zhou Tianzong has always wanted to bring Wu Haiguo under his command, but Tianxingmen argued with reason to block Zhou Tianzong's mouth on the condition of handing over more offerings.

In addition, Tianxingmen is a subsidiary force of Zhou Tianzong, and it is inconvenient to use strength, so the high-level of Zhou Tianzong gradually stopped asking, and the matter was over.

These insider stories were all told to Zhou Yang by Song Laohu himself.

Seven days later, Zhou Yang and his entourage finally arrived at Dongshi City, the capital of Wu Haiguo.

These days are all daytime, and at night I find an inn to stay. Therefore, Zhou Yang only did four things in these seven days, one was to hurry. The second is to eat and drink. The third is to pay close attention to cultivation. The fourth is to memorize the key to Danshu.

Whenever it was quiet in the dead of night, Zhou Yang swallowed several Fire Spirit Pills, and then ran the Xuangang Recipe to make Zhou Tian Run, slowly directing the medicinal power to various meridians and acupoints, so as to stimulate the protection of the dantian and meridians, so that they could accommodate more spiritual power.

With the ascension of the realm, the power of his various secret techniques has also increased significantly.

In addition, because there is no stimulation of worries, life is monotonous and fulfilling, so the injury of divine consciousness has never recurred, which makes Zhou Yang feel a lot more relieved.

In his estimation, after breaking through the peak realm of the Lingtai, the injury of the divine sense should be improved.

I have memorized more than half of the Dan technique, and my comprehension of the Dan Dao has gradually improved. It's a pity that there is no earth furnace along the road, and the elixir cannot be refined.

After seven days of speculation, the colorless powder made from the residues of the Yellow Spirit Pill and the Fire Spirit Pill also made him more formless and colorless, but he still hadn't comprehended the refining method of the antidote.

Dongshi is only one day's journey away from the Sea of Life, and Zhou Yang originally planned to visit the Sea of Life in person, but Dingbei was about to begin, so the group dismissed this plan.

Responsible for receiving Song Dahu and his entourage is the prime minister of the country, and the prime minister's office has very heavy powers, but it is a separate government to build a government, and hundreds of officials have to go to the prime minister's office to discuss matters in addition to the court.

There is also a certain number of troops stationed in the Prime Minister's Mansion, that is, the Prime Minister's private army. In addition to these troops, that is, the soldiers and horses of the whole country, the prime minister's government can also be mobilized at will, which shows the great power of the prime minister in Wu Haiguo.

However, no matter how great the power of the prime minister is, it is also relatively speaking, when Song Laohu showed his identity token, the prime minister of the dynasty personally led a group of staff out of the house to greet him, and ordered people to spread red felt on the ground, gongs and drums to welcome him.

Facing the envoy of the fairy city, he sent three bows and nine bows.

There was a big feast in the Prime Minister's Mansion, as well as a singing and dancing banquet, and Song Laohu and his party were entertained with imperial wine, which can be described as a gift to the country.

Song Laosan was very satisfied, praised the prime minister, and even said that he was very good at doing things. The prime minister was praised with a smile, and he was even happier than being praised by the emperor.

In the drinking room, there was a report from the porter that someone from the palace asked to see the messenger of Xiancheng.

After the prime minister asked Song Laohu, he took people out of the house to greet him.

It turned out that the prince of Wu Haiguo came to see him in person, and asked the envoys of Xiancheng for his father, saying that the emperor was ill and it was inconvenient to leave the palace, and ordered the prince to come to see the envoys.

He also brought 50 jars of imperial wine, 50 horses of fine silk, 50 catties of new tea, 500 catties of frozen sea fish, and 1,000 catties of a rare ore as a reparation.

And that rare ore is an annual tribute to the Immortal City, and it is one of the materials for refining ordinary magic weapons.

In addition to being paid tribute by the imperial court, there was also buying and selling on the underground black market in various countries.

Zhou Yang was not interested in other things, he just glanced at the ore, and secretly thought that Ye Tao's father should also sell this kind of ore, otherwise he really couldn't think of anything else in the mortal country that was worthy of a cultivator's attention.

Song Laohu accepted all the orders, and drank three cups with the prince.

Not to mention, the imperial wine in this palace is really good, mellow and sweet, with a long aftertaste, and everyone shouted too much.

Seeing that the envoy of Xiancheng had good wine, the prince hurriedly sent someone to bring three hundred altars from the palace, and the tiger was not polite and accepted them all.

After that, the crown prince personally reported the recent situation of Wu Haiguo to Song Laohu, and the prime minister also made additions.

Song Laohu put on a lofty posture, listening to the report while drinking, and the apricots and everyone on the side rolled their eyes.

In a word, Wu Haiguo is safe and sound. Therefore, after Song Laohu and the others were full of wine and food, they got up to say goodbye after receiving the books presented, and the prince and the prime minister naturally sent them out of the city in person.

When he left, the prime minister was also very generous, and the gifts he gave were no less than those of the prince.

Between the parallel horses, the prince took the prime minister and secretly stuffed Song Laohu with a ball of paper.

The tiger was surprised, and wanted to open his mouth to find each other, but was stopped by the prince, and clenched his fists in a begging color.

The tiger was silent, put away the note, and led everyone out of East Stone City.

After leaving the city, Song Laosan did not carry others behind his back and unfolded the note to watch. After reading it, he couldn't help but have a strange look on his face.

Everyone was curious and asked to take a look, and the tiger handed the note to Zhou Yang first. Zhou Yang was also surprised after reading it, and then passed it on to others.

"Third brother, have you heard of this before?"

"I've never heard of it, do you think it's credible?" the tiger shook his head, then asked rhetorically.

"There should be eighty percent credibility. Zhou Yang said after a moment of silence.

"How so. ”

Comparing the power of Jin Cheng and Wu Hai, it is not difficult to see some clues. Jin Chengguo is the supremacy of imperial power, and the dignity of the emperor is sacrosanct.

On the other hand, Wu Haiguo is obviously different. Judging from the banquet, on the surface, the governor was respectful to the prince, but the prince was obviously wary. ”

"You're really observant. The tiger shook his head.

"Judging from the fact that there are thousands of pro-soldiers stationed in the Prime Minister's Palace, the imperial power has been seriously challenged. Third brother, think about it, as the prince's secret report said, there are only more than 1,000 Imperial Forest troops in the palace, and the defenders loyal to the emperor in Dongshicheng are only 2,000 people, less than one-tenth of all the defenders.

What's more, even the post of the general of Dongshi Town is from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the emperor's order cannot leave the capital, which shows that Wu Haiguo's power is far greater than the imperial power. It is reasonable for the crown prince to ask the Tianxingmen to uphold justice on behalf of the emperor. ”

During the banquet, Zhou Yang had already seen the gap between the prime minister and the prince, and when he saw the prince's distress letter, he had already understood the situation in Wu Hai's country.

"Under normal circumstances, the various sects in Dingbei City turn a blind eye to this kind of thing, as long as they pay tribute every year, and even the internal wars of mortal subject countries, they don't care, as long as other forces don't interfere, they never care. ”

Song Laohu knew very well the strategy of the major factions in Dingbei to dominate the mortal vassal country, so he didn't pay much attention to the invitation of the prince of Wu Haiguo.

"For the battle for the throne of the subject country, it is no wonder that the shopkeeper Meng Da of the Tongzhou Commercial Bank only wrote a few words, and did not personally intervene, it turns out that this is an unwritten rule of the cultivation realm. Zhou Yang said to himself.

"Are you talking about the Dashun Dynasty?" asked Song Laohu.

"It should be that the shopkeeper of Meng Da didn't pay much attention to the dispute between his prince and the imperial uncle, and he should have followed this rule. ”

"There are dozens of mortal vassal kingdoms here, and such incidents are common, and imperial changes are commonplace. In the Cultivation Sect, those old guys who have lived for hundreds of years have long been surprised, and they don't bother to pay attention to this kind of thing. ”

"Having said that, you have taken so many benefits from other people, and you have eaten and wiped them clean and shook your hands, which is a bit unreasonable, right?"

"It's just this little thing, it's too much to take me Song Laohu seriously! Besides, this matter is not something I can manage if I want to, and there is a Tianxing Gate on it. Song Laohu pouted.

"Hehe, whatever you want. In my opinion, don't hold back, you can hand over this letter, as for other things, it's not up to me to take care of it. Zhou Yang suggested.

"That's it. ”

Everyone galloped and hurried in the starry night, although the people were fine, but the horses couldn't stand it. They were not officials, and the post stations along the way did not provide horses, so the group had to come hard, but after taking the horses, they would also put down some gold and silver.

And Zhou Yang has long been out of money, and when he arrived at the extreme west of Jin Chengguo, the gold and silver on the other people had just run out.

It's not bad, it only took twelve days to get from Wu Haiguo to Jin Chengguo's teleportation point, and this trip to the mortal subject country took two months.

When I came, the spring was cold, and the day was warm when I returned.

The group walked out of Zhou Tianzong's teleportation array, only to feel that the aura was overwhelming, and it was extremely comfortable. The cultivation world is their destination, and the worldly world without aura is just a temporary station in life.

However, Zhou Yang has gained a lot in the past two months, not only has he made great progress in cultivation and reached the edge of breakthrough, but he has also accidentally obtained many rare spiritual herbs and elixirs, as well as the star stones needed to refine the ancient elixir.

Not only that, but he also discovered the legendary chaos at the ruins of the Tongtian Holy Sect, and had a brief fight with a Jindan-level puppet, of course, it was not a fight, it should be said that he fled for his life.

But despite this, he has also opened his eyes and increased his knowledge. These experiences have been extremely useful and valuable to him, and the trip has been worthwhile.

"Three masters, will you go back like this?" Bai Meng said with some worry.
