The dinner was quite pleasant, although it did not achieve the effect that Su Hongzhuo expected, but His Royal Highness the Prince Regent gave him a lot of random advice.

After dealing with the affairs of the Dow Chamber of Commerce and the Fei family, Su Hongzhuo decided to go into retreat.

On the one hand, he healed his wounds, and on the other hand, he was ready to take a step forward in his cultivation strength.

Lu Qiu was happy to see Su Hongzhuo enter the Heavenly Rank, and one more Heavenly Rank master would be of great benefit to the Xia Kingdom.

......

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Lu Qiu returned to the inn.

Tonight's turmoil is no less than a major earthquake for the elite in Southern Hangzhou.

When the sun rises, there is only one of the three major chambers of commerce in South Hangzhou City, and the Dow Chamber of Commerce and the Fei family will become a thing of the past.

It may become a hot topic in the current South Hangzhou City, but as time passes, no one will remember their former glory.

Soon, new chambers of commerce emerged.

Song Shijie's name has become a rising star in South Hangzhou.

Although he was born in a wealthy family, he was still not as good as Tao Gongzi and Fei Qiujun. has a good character, which is what Lu Qiu values the most.

Song Shijie understands that this is an opportunity given by His Royal Highness the Regent, and it is also His Royal Highness's trust and love, and he must take advantage of it.

......

Three days later.

Lu Qiu returned to the imperial capital with his men and horses.

Xiao Shuang, Xiao Yu, Ah Dian Man, and the people of the Ancient Sword Sect were temporarily arranged to rest in the mansion.

After simply washing and changing clothes, Lu Qiu entered the palace.

Palace.

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

When Lu Qiu walked in, Su Chanyi was holding his face in one small hand, reviewing the folds.

A palace maid was standing nearby, waiting for orders.

"See His Royal Highness the Regent. The maid knelt down and saluted.

Lu Qiu waved his hand and motioned to get up.

"Brother, you're back!" Su Chanyi raised his head, his bright eyes and bright teeth in the swaying lights showed surprise, put down the pen in his hand, ran to Lu Qiu with the corner of his skirt, and jumped into the latter's arms.

His hands wrapped around Lu Qiu's neck, and his head rubbed back and forth.

"Anyway, she is also the empress of the Xia Kingdom, why is she still so big and small. Lu Qiu rubbed Su Chanyi's hair dotingly.

The palace maid next to her got up and silently retreated to the side, not daring to look up.

Xia Guo's rules are still very rigid, Lu Qiu and Su Chanyi are brother and sister, but their behavior is still too close.

The palace maid was afraid of getting into trouble and didn't dare to look at it more.

"Brother, this is what you asked me to find in the letter you sent back to the imperial capital in advance. Su Chanyi asked the palace maid to fetch things.

Soon, the palace maid brought a delicate box and handed it to Lu Qiu with both hands.

Open the lid of the box, and there is a ring inside.

"It's still relatively difficult to find our Xia Kingdom, and there is also the credit of Yanbo Building. Su Chanyi said with a smile.

"It's all your credit. Lu Qiu stretched out his hand and gently scraped Su Chanyi's nose, then took out the ring and put it on his finger, which was just right.

"Hee-hee. Su Chanyi was satisfied, and it was a very happy thing to be praised by her brother.

Lu Qiu walked to the side, injected soul power into this ring, and immediately got in touch with the ring.

This kind of ring is very special, and its full name is called the Space Ring.

As the name suggests, it means that there is a space inside the ring.

Different levels and specifications of space rings have different storage capacities.

It is made of rare space obsidian and is made by the soul master himself.

When the soul power is injected, the space ring will automatically recognize the master, and only Lu Qiu will be able to use it in the future.

Unless he encounters someone whose soul power is stronger than Lu Qiu, he can forcibly erase the soul power he injected into the spatial ring and take this spatial ring as his own.

After the soul power entered the space ring, the size of the space in this ring was less than the size of a room of 100 square meters, and Lu Qiu was already quite satisfied.

In the future, when you go far away, you can throw items such as the bone sword, clothes, dry food, and water in the space ring, which is easy to drop.

"Brother, Fengchi Kingdom and Tonghai Kingdom have sent us letters. Su Chanyi asked the palace maid to go out first, and then Zhengse said.

"What's the matter?" Lu Qiu played with the space ring, put a piece of music in it, and released it again, having a lot of fun.

"The war between our Xia Kingdom and the Chiyan Kingdom has ended, and the Chiyan Kingdom has been completely defeated, and we have not only recovered the previously lost territory, but also robbed a lot of the territory of the Chiyan Country. But Fengchi Country and Tonghai Kingdom came forward, hoping that we can show mercy and have humane justice......"

Su Chanyi didn't finish the content of the letter, even she was angry about the content of the envelope.

Fengchi Kingdom and Tonghai Kingdom said that they were nothing more than wanting to carve up a piece of the territory of Chiyan Country.

However, the defeat of the Chiyan Kingdom was entirely due to the Xia Kingdom or Lu Qiu, and it had nothing to do with the Fengchi Kingdom and the Tonghai Kingdom. These two countries are too shameless.

"Ignore it. Lu Qiu smiled.

Fengchi Country and Tonghai Country are the neighbors of Xia Kingdom.

The two countries sent letters at the same time, explaining that they had been in contact before this, and even said that the Fengchi Kingdom and the Tonghai Kingdom had been in cahoots, forcing the Xia Kingdom to make concessions and give them the fattest meat.

If you want his Lu Qiu's things, Fengchi Kingdom and Tonghai Kingdom have to weigh whether they have that ability.

"Okay. Su Chanyi nodded.

After she received the letters from Fengchi Kingdom and Tonghai Kingdom, she was very stressed and did not sleep well for several days in a row.

The war between the Xia Kingdom and the Chiyan Kingdom, although it was directly defeated and won because of Lu Qiu's move, also plundered the rich resources and land.

However, the cities on the border of the Xia Kingdom have suffered serious losses in terms of people, finance, and military strength.

If the combined forces of Fengchi and Tonghai put pressure at this time, it would undoubtedly force Xia Guo into a predicament again.

But Lu Qiu returned to the imperial capital, and Su Chanyi's heavy pressure finally dissipated a lot.

As long as Lu Qiu is there, she will not panic at all, even if the army is pressing.

"It's been hard work for you these days. Lu Qiu said apologetically.

He has no interest in the throne in the first place, but people's hearts are unpredictable, and only by putting the throne and the power to control the country in his own hands can he truly feel at ease.

Lu Qiu has not been in the imperial capital for several years, and there are very few people who can be trusted.

"Brother, you are the hardest worker. Su Chanyi shook her head, as long as Lu Qiu could understand, she wouldn't feel tired.

"These days, I'm going to go to Foquan Temple. Lu Qiu said.

Foquan Temple is Lu Qiu's third sign-in location.

If it weren't for the automatic refresh of the system to this sign-in place, he would have almost forgotten about Foquan Temple.

A long time ago, there was a queen mother in the royal family of the Xia Kingdom, who was devout to Buddhism.

In those years, Foquan Temple and Buddhism were at their peak in the Xia Kingdom.

However, with the death of the empress dowager and the change of power in the Xia Kingdom from generation to generation, Foquan Temple declined.

"Brother, look at this. Su Chanyi took out a booklet.
