Chapter 185 Win! [Please give me a monthly ticket! 】
North, Xuanming Sea.
The four great demon lands in the world all have their own kings.
The ruler of Junyan Island in the South China Sea is the Qilin Emperor. It is said that he is a fire unicorn with profound virtues. The Qilin clan has suppressed Junyan Island for tens of thousands of years and has been passed down to this day. The king of this generation in White Tiger City is the Black Mountain Lord. The child born from the union of the previous generation White Tiger King and a black tiger, although he is a mixed blood of black and white, is a pure black tiger; the supreme existence of Mangcang Mountain is the Jade Dragon God, and he is also a black jade true dragon who has been practicing for a long time. .
But the most recognized among the four demon kings is the Yongye King of Xuanming Sea.
According to legend, Yongye is the oldest monster in the world, and he has even seen Chu Sheng. As longevity has increased, it has become more and more reclusive and rarely appears. In the past thousand years, no one has seen Yong Ye's true form.
On this day, a human race stepped into the deepest part of Xuanming Sea.
There is a pitch-black island here, covered with cold black frost everywhere. Beings with poor cultivation will be frozen to death if they are even slightly contaminated.
The person who came was wearing a monk's robe, but his hair was disheveled, his brows and eyes were full of stern expressions, and he had no mercy at all.
As he set foot here, a cold wind blew.
Huh——
The strong wind is like a knife, cutting flesh and scraping bones. The person who comes just turns his hand and the cold wind subsides instantly.
Let him walk to the center of the island, in front of a black hole. In the hole is a mirror-like black barrier, reflecting the figure of the visitor.
"Li Longchan, the national master of the Yin Dynasty in Kyushu, came to ask for an audience with King Yongye." He shouted suddenly.
It turns out that the person who came to the center of Xuanming Sea today was the Imperial Master of the Yin Dynasty.
After a long while, there was no response. After another moment, a light and shadow emerged from the mirror on the cave wall. It seemed to be a human woman, but as the human body slowly poked out of the cave wall, it took half of the fish tail with it.
This woman is only half human, with long black hair and white skin. When she opened her eyes, she found that her pupils were also black, which was quite frightening.
"It has been hundreds of years since anyone from the Yin Dynasty set foot on the Xuanming Sea. Why did the Imperial Master come?" the mermaid woman asked.
Her voice did not seem to come from her mouth, but was surrounded by the surrounding wind, distant and cold.
"Who are you?" Li Longchan first asked the other party's identity.
"I am the shark servant of Lord Yongye, responsible for conveying his will to the surroundings of the Xuanming Sea." The mermaid replied: "Anything in the Xuanming Sea will be reported to the Lord by me."
"I have come under the command of His Majesty the Emperor of Yin State to meet King Yongye in person." Li Longchan said firmly.
"I need to know your intention before you decide whether to report it to your Majesty." The mermaid replied coldly.
It seems that both sides have great respect for their master.
Li Longchan flicked his sleeves and said: "Yesterday, a group of Xuanming sea monsters appeared in the waters of our country of Yin, assisting the nine martingale thieves to attack our ship in the country of Yin. His Majesty the Emperor sent me to inquire about Yong. Lord Ye, will Xuan Minghai form an alliance with Jiu Yang in the future?”
He came here precisely because of the previous incident regarding the water demon.
Among the four demonic lands, Junyan Island is far away from everyone, and has no connection with either Yangguo or Yinguo.
Baihu City is closer to the Yin Dynasty, and it is also the demon land with the closest connection with the Yin Dynasty. Many of the demon beasts in the army were domesticated from White Tiger City.
Mangcang Mountain is within the territory of Jiu Yang, and the Jade Dragon God has always been regarded as a totem by the Canglong tribe, so he has always supported Jiu Yang.
Only the Xuanming Sea is special. To the west is Jiu Yang Continent and to the south is Kyushu Continent. It has contact with both sides. Previously, Xuanminghai had always been neutral and did not participate in any human conflicts.
If King Yong Ye wants to fall to Jiu Yang, it will be extremely detrimental to the Yin Dynasty, because it means that Jiu Yang can get another passage to Kyushu through the waters of Xuanming Sea.
Shuangbeicheng can no longer block their way out.
Furthermore, King Yongye is very powerful. If he is really an enemy of the Yin Dynasty, it will not be easy to deal with it.
This is what Li Longchan asked today.
If the monsters on the side help the martingale, the Imperial Master may directly kill them without asking the reason. That is to say, even with the power of Xuan Minghai, the Yin Dynasty would not dare to send troops at will.
"This matter has nothing to do with your Majesty," the mermaid replied briefly.
"Huh?" Li Longchan looked suspicious, "The King of Yongye does not agree. The monsters of Xuanming Sea dare to cooperate with Jiu Yang?"
The mermaid hesitated to speak, but finally said: "Your Majesty is not in the Xuanming Sea. It has been away for a while. The demon kings in the Xuanming Sea have come to see you many times, but they have never been able to see your Majesty. They doubt whether your Majesty has died, and that is why they are so disrespectful. As long as your Majesty returns, the rebellious people will be punished."
"In other words, helping Jiu Yang is the behavior of individual demon kings, not the decision of Xuan Minghai as a whole?" Li Longchan confirmed. road.
"That's right." The mermaid said: "Your Majesty has no interest in the disputes of your human race."
Li Longchan nodded and said nothing more.
Turn around, he took a few steps, then suddenly turned back and said: "If King Yongye needs help, you can contact me. Our Yin Kingdom Court is very willing to make friends with him."
...
"Being able to become a subordinate of the Yin Dynasty is a great honor for our small island country!" In the imperial city, King Haiyue looked extremely humble when facing Xu Zhan'ao.
At this moment, they were on their way out of the Qinzheng Palace and had just finished their audience with Mu Beidi.
In the palace just now, Xu Zhan'ao just briefly mentioned on behalf of the emperor that it was possible for Haiyue Kingdom to exist as a vassal state of the Yin Dynasty in the future, and King Haiyue immediately agreed happily.
Actually, even if they say they don’t want to be affiliated now, what can they do?
One of the eighteen divine generals of the Yin Dynasty and half of the nine military towns can defeat them like the autumn wind of the Haiyue Kingdom. The only reason why the Yin Kingdom did not attack them before was probably because it was a waste of people and money. , The gain outweighs the loss.
In addition, because of the existence of Jiu Yang, Yin Guo also needs to pay attention to public opinion among other countries. If it is easy to conquer the city and destroy the country, and the troops leave without any reason, it is easy for Jiu Yang to get the handle and unite all the countries to besiege.
The treatment of the vassal state proposed by the Yin Dynasty just now is quite generous. It pays tribute every year and becomes a minister every year. The royal family's children choose one of them to stay in the divine capital as a pledge, and they can also attend classes with the prince of Yin Dynasty. The superior country will also provide asylum to the subordinate country and protect its safety.
In fact, the original conditions proposed by the Yin Dynasty may be more stringent. For example, there must be Yin Dynasty troops stationed on Haiyue Kingdom Island, the hostage must be the prince of Haiyue Kingdom, and marriage and tribute must be paid from generation to generation. The intensity was much greater, but after the assassination by the Martingale, the situation suddenly changed.
The original deterrence plan turned into a soft win, and the Haiyue Kingdom did indeed surrender to the Yin Kingdom sincerely. As a result, the two sides formed a two-way situation.
After becoming a vassal state of the Yin Dynasty at such a small price, wouldn’t our Haiyue Kingdom move even more sideways in the East China Sea?
Originally, although the Haiyue Kingdom was considered the strongest in the East China Sea, it was still quite wary of its surroundings. Now it is no longer a worry. Anyone who dares to mess with me will be reported to Yinchao’s father at that time, and the heavenly soldiers will immediately Arrive soon.
From now on, I will be the overlord of the East China Sea!
Thinking of this, King Haiyue wanted to say something sincerely.
Thank you, Martingale.
Although this battle has damaged a lot of vitality, from the perspective of the monarch, this attack by Yin State is not necessarily a bad thing. There were many thieves and bandits in the country before. Did he really not want to take care of them?
Those wild warriors and Qi refiners dared to burn, kill and loot in the Yin Dynasty. How could they be good citizens of Anshun in their own country? However, the power controlled by King Haiyue was not enough to eliminate the Blood Refining Sect, which was transformed into the state religion, and the powerful forces in the court within the country.
Those people colluded with each other, did not respect the king's laws, and formed their own factions. King Haiyue had long disliked them. He only wanted to eradicate them because of the high risks, so he tolerated them for many years.
How can we govern the country well with these insects?
Now it is time to take advantage of Yin Guo's attack to wipe out those disobedient forces at once. Now that he returned to Haiyue Kingdom, all that was left was a clean court.
So from his perspective, I actually want to say one more thing.
Thank you, Ling Sansi.
Using heavenly soldiers to eliminate the government and the opposition is a win; because the assassination reduces the cost of becoming a vassal of the Yin Dynasty, this is a win-win.
My country, Haiyue, has won twice, which is the so-called win-win situation.
Monarch Haiyue walked out of the imperial city with a series of secret joys. Xu Zhan'ao said again: "I have to go to the East Palace to teach the prince, so I won't send more. The palace people will lead the monarch to the Department of All Nations, During this period, the imperial guards and the Zhu Xie Division will be responsible for your safety, so you don’t have to worry about assassinations.”
“Thank you, Mr. Xu, please do so,” King Haiyue said with a smile. Wave goodbye.
He knows the various departments within the Yin Dynasty quite well, and he can rest assured knowing that the Zhuxie Department is responsible for his own safety. Even if there is any filth within Yin State, it will never be caused by Zhu Xiesi.
During this time, I can move around freely and make some connections in Yin.
As a king of his country, it is quite difficult to make friends with others. After all, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at him, and no important minister of the Yin Kingdom will easily interact with him.
But this trip cannot be in vain. He must forge some good relationships in Longyuan City, and the best ones to do are his children. It would be great if we could hand over some descendants of the big families in Longyuan City, or some promising newbies in the court.
It is advisable to take a broad view of the scenery.
Ten or twenty years later, these people will be the backbone of the Yin Kingdom's court. By then, it will be very simple for the Haiyue Kingdom to obtain some benefits from the Yin Kingdom.
The first person he fell in love with was Liang Yue.
After all, there is a life-saving grace here, and it is easier to hook up.
Now we need to confirm whether this young man has this value.
He pulled the jade from his waist and stuffed it into the hands of the eunuch who was leading the way.
“Yeah.” The eunuch trembled and said in a panic: “If your Majesty has an order, just say it, this is a small mistake.”
"It doesn't matter, father-in-law, keep it." King Haiyue patted his hand very considerately and said, "I want to inquire about something, why should I work for father-in-law in vain?"
"The king wants to inquire. What's the news?" The eunuch held the jade in his hand and did not dare to accept it for a moment.
"I am just curious. Today, an immortal official named Liang saved my child's life. He is a disciple of Xuanmen and is familiar with Ling Shenjiang and Xu Shangshu. What is his background?" Lord Haiyue asked.
When the eunuch heard this, he immediately accepted the jade and smiled thiefly, "Your Majesty, you have asked the right person about this matter. If you ask others, you may not know, but I did it the day before yesterday Li Chacha heard an inside story. "
He told the news with a lively expression, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
"Why did Liang Xianguan rise so quickly in such a short period of time, from an ordinary imperial guard to being favored by so many ministers?"
"Because not long ago, he met the current Zuo Xiang. It’s..."
