After talking about finding a suitable Taoist partner for Ding Zhanyun in the Dapeng royal family for a while, Situ Jin slowly led the topic to Chang Shan.

"Your Majesty, please redeem the lonely and unheard of, can the spiritual spring also be made?"

Ding Peng's eyes flashed, and he smiled lightly: "Maybe!"

"Maybe?"

"The Earth Emperor is a formation cultivator, and his formation attainments are extremely high, so he may really understand the formation of the spirit spring created by the above spirit stones. ”

After a slight pause, Ding Peng stared at Situ Jin with scorching eyes, and said with a light smile: "Even if the Earth Emperor doesn't know how to create a spiritual spring from the above grade spirit stones, it is reasonable for him to use it as an excuse to collect some top-grade spirit stones from you." After all, you three royal families, this time the tribute is indeed less. ”

Situ Jin's expression changed, and he subconsciously turned his gaze to Situ Jing.

Without waiting for Situ Jing to speak, Ding Peng continued: "Back then, His Majesty asked you to pay tribute to 20% of your income in the past 30 years every 30 years, but in fact, in the past 1,000 years, I am afraid that the things you have paid tribute will not even be your 10% income. This less than 10% of the income will not affect your own strength, nor will it affect your long-term development. His Majesty created the Heterogeneous Cultivation Alliance back then, just to give the Heterogeneous Cultivation Alliance a comfortable cultivation environment, not to really dominate Qingzhou for a long time. ”

Situ Jin didn't agree with Ding Peng's words, but Ding Peng said it so bluntly that he couldn't think of any suitable words to answer for a while, so he silently agreed.

There was silence in the living room for a moment, and Ding Peng spoke again: "Do you know how the Heavenly Gate was destroyed back then?"

Situ Jin was stunned for a moment, thought about it for a while, didn't dare to talk nonsense, just followed Ding Peng's words, and replied casually: "I don't know!"

"Tianmen ruled Qingzhou for more than 100,000 years, and it was inevitable that there would be grudges with the various dynasties in Qingzhou at that time because of the conflict of interests and will. However, when the master of the Heavenly Gate was alive, no one dared to resist the Heavenly Gate. When the master of Tianmen died under the Heavenly Tribulation, those dynasties in Qingzhou destroyed the Heavenly Gate with the assistance of some masters of the Outer Heavens. ”

In fact, how Tianmen was destroyed is not a secret in Qingzhou. What Ding Peng said, Situ Jin had also seen in the classics before.

However, when Ding Peng said these words, he naturally had a different meaning.

Situ Jin knew that Ding Peng's words must have a certain purpose, so he didn't answer, and waited for Ding Peng to continue talking.

The meeting room was silent for a moment, and Ding Peng spoke again: "The Dapeng royal family asks all the forces under its jurisdiction to pay tribute every ten years, I don't know, how much of this tribute accounts for the income of these forces?"

Situ Jing hesitated for a moment and replied, "According to the rules, it is generally fifty percent." ”

Ding Peng nodded, and asked again: "Dedicate fifty percent of your income to the royal family, these forces must want to destroy the royal family and replace it." ”

Situ Jin's expression changed again, and he lowered his head, as if he was contemplating.

"Of course, no matter how much resentment those forces have against the royal family in their hearts, they dare not rebel against the royal family when their strength is insufficient. ”

After a slight pause, Ding Peng let out a long sigh and said: "The cultivation world is a world where the strong are respected, when you are in the position of the weak, you must be careful when facing the strong, once you provoke the strong with murderous intentions, it will be too late to regret it." ”

After Ding Peng said this, he was silent for a moment, looked at Situ Jin and said, "It's not early, you should go." ”

"Yes!"

Situ Jin got up and stood up, glanced at Situ Jing, bowed to Ding Peng and Situ Jing, and said, "Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine, I have taken my leave." ”

When Situ Jin walked away, Ding Peng looked at Situ Jing, who was frowning and contemplative, and said in a deep voice: "Jing'er, my husband has already warned them today, and it can be regarded as benevolent and righteous." In the future, if the Dapeng royal family really does something excessive, the husband will not show mercy to them. ”

"The concubine understands!"

Situ Jing replied, and her brows slowly relaxed.

"You go and rest first, you still have some things to deal with for your husband. ”

"Hmm!"

When Situ Jing left, Ding Peng turned his head, looked at Chang Shan through the wall behind him, and said with a smile: "Brother Lao Chang has been waiting for a long time!"

"Don't dare!"

Chang Shan arched his hand at Ding Peng, walked out of a small door that had just appeared, and came to the living room.

"You may be seated!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

As soon as Chang Shan sat down, he heard Ding Peng ask, "What does Brother Chang think of Ding's warning to the Dapeng royal family?"

After hesitating for a moment, Chang Shan replied: "Please forgive Chang for saying bluntly, I am afraid that Your Majesty's warning will not have much effect." When Tianmen ruled Qingzhou, the various dynasties in Qingzhou were somewhat sincere in their submission to Tianmen, but now the three major dynasties in Qingzhou and the various dynasties are not sincere in their submission to the Heterogeneous Alliance. ”

"Hmm!"

Ding Peng nodded and said with a smile: "Therefore, to make them surrender, you can't rely on verbal threats and persuasion, but rely on strength to subdue them." ”

Chang Shan was stunned for a moment, looked at Ding Peng and said, "Since this is the case, then why did Your Majesty warn Situ Jin just now?"

"Situ Qing is Zhanyun's uncle after all!"

"Your Majesty's intentions, the imperial concubine will definitely understand. ”

After a moment of silence, Ding Peng talked about subduing the three major dynasties and various dynasties.

"After more than ten or twenty years, Zhanyun will cross the catastrophe, and at that time, Situ Qing will definitely send someone to Tianshan to find Ding. If Ding asked people to excuse Situ Qing's envoy in the name of retreat, Situ Qing would definitely think that His Majesty had taken Ding to the outer heavens, and then he would make some moves. At that time, as long as the Heterogeneous Alliance teaches the three royal families a lesson with absolute strength, it will definitely let them be stable for a while. ”

Hearing these words, Chang Shan had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly understood why Ding Peng would mention the matter of finding a Taoist partner for Ding Zhanyun.

Ding Peng said that he wanted to find a Taoist partner for Ding Zhanyun in the Dapeng royal family, ostensibly to deepen the relationship between Ding Zhanyun and the Dapeng royal family, but in fact, he was hinting that Ding Peng was about to leave Qingzhou.

Since Ding Peng ignored Ding Zhanyun's tragedy, the Dapeng royal family could easily understand this, and in turn, they would be even more convinced that Ding Peng went to the outer heavens with the Qing Emperor.

"It's too ruthless to use your son like this!"

Chang Shan thought so in his heart, but asked on his lips: "What can Chang do in this matter?"

Ding Peng's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Chang bluffed and made them think that you were not confident enough, so you can be regarded as cooperating with Ding." ”

"Bluffing?"

Chang Shan pondered for a moment and said, "When Your Majesty began to preside over the Heterogeneous Alliance, did you ever take people to the three major royal families and each royal family to show the strength of the Heterogeneous Alliance?"

Ding Peng shook his head and said with a smile: "If Brother Chang goes to the three major royal families and each royal family, he can indeed give them a good warning." ”

After a few more words of gossip, Chang Shan hesitated, looked at Ding Peng and asked, "I wonder when Your Majesty will go to the outer heavens?"

"I don't know this Ding!"

Chang Shan nodded, as if he was talking to himself, and seemed to be asking Ding Peng, and said in a low voice: "Before Your Majesty goes to the Outer Heavens, you should arrange the affairs of the Heterogeneous Cultivation Alliance, right?"

Ding Peng glanced at Chang Shan deeply and did not answer.

Both of them were silent for a while, Chang Shan got up and stood up, arched his hand and said, "It's already very late, Chang Mou won't disturb His Majesty's rest." ”

"Hmm!"

Ding Peng nodded, called the housekeeper in, and asked the housekeeper to send Chang Shan out.

Chang Shan went out of the Peng Imperial Palace, performed the technique of shrinking the ground into inches, and returned to the Imperial Palace in a few steps.

Back in the dormitory, Chang Shan did not go directly into the bedroom, but sat in the living room and pondered.

Ding Peng's warning to Situ Jin tonight, as well as some words to him, made Chang Shan affirm one thing, in the near future, the Blue Emperor will take the Yindan stage cultivators and Zidan stage cultivators of the Heterogeneous Cultivation Alliance to the Outer Heavens;

Thinking about these things, Changshan couldn't help but feel amused by his worries these days.

These days, his worries are too much like the so-called unfounded worries.

"Even if the Heterogeneous Alliance is really in danger, with a few treasures such as the Sumeru Immortal Mansion, the Ten Thousand Raven Pot, and the Puppet God General, it will definitely be able to repay itself and a few of them, so why worry about it?"

Chang Shan pondered for a while, smiled, got up, and walked into the bedroom.

When Chang Shan returned to the dormitory just now, Yu Wanting supported her head with her hands, she didn't know what she was thinking, and she didn't notice that Chang Shan had returned, and now she heard Chang Shan's footsteps, and she came to her senses.

"What are you thinking?"

"Nothing?"

"Is there anything else you can't tell your husband?"

Yu Wanting glanced at Chang Shan and replied, "You don't tell Yu'er everything, why do you ask Yu'er to tell you everything?"

Chang Shan shook his head with a smile, walked to the table, took Yu Huanting's hand, organized the language in his heart, and told Yu Huanting about his visit to the three royal families and various dynasties.

"You don't want to take the fish with you?"

"I think about it, but I don't know what trouble I will encounter when I patrol the Quartet this time, and it is a little inconvenient to take you with me. You can cultivate in the Tianshan Mountains with peace of mind, and when your husband comes back, if you deduce the fish scale array, the Xuanwu array, and the earth formation of Xiao Zhou Tianhou, you will arrange for your husband to cross the catastrophe. ”

Yu Wanting nodded first, and then, grabbing Chang Shan's hand, said softly: "If you go to those palaces and palaces, you will definitely encounter a lot of temptations, and you are not allowed to come nonsense." ”

Chang Shan smiled bitterly and replied, "Is your husband like that kind of lustful person?"

"Yu'er didn't say that her husband was a womanizer, but just reminded her husband. ”

Half a month later, Chang Shan asked Zuo Xiangnan to wait for six days, and twenty subordinates of each generation left Tianshan with him and began his patrol journey.

didn't figure out the current situation of the Heterogeneous Alliance, the three royal families and each royal family didn't dare to follow Ming to fight against the Heterogeneous Alliance, and Changshan's inspection trip did not encounter any twists and turns.

In a blink of an eye, three and a half years had passed, and Chang Shan had finished his patrol trip and returned to Tianshan.
