When Xia Jie rode Xuanwu and led more than a dozen tribesmen into the city from the south gate of Anyi City, a pale-faced Yi Yin stopped him at the city gate.
The thin and frail Yi Yin rushed to Xia Jie and grabbed his arm with one hand. This frightened the group of thick men behind Xia Jie and thought that Yi Yin wanted to do harm to Xia Jie. The bright ax almost missed Yi Yin's arm. The head was pulled off. If Xia Jie hadn't reacted quickly and blocked the big axes with his palms, Yi Yin would have been in serious trouble.
Holding Xia Jie's arm, Yi Yin shouted hurriedly: "Fierce weather, help, the king wants to kill my master."
Xia Jie's eyes twitched a few times, and he said in shock: "Your master? Shang Tang? Well, aren't he and the king brothers?"
Yi Yin said angrily: "I heard from the Heiming family that the king seems to have changed into a different person recently. He has an extremely bad temper. I don't know how many people in the palace have been killed by him. Because our master Regarding the relationship between taking in the refugees from all over the world, the king was furious and said that my master had evil intentions and announced that my master had come to Anyi to kill our master."
Well, the reason Lu Gui wanted to kill Shang Tang was because Shang Tang recruited people aggressively and the power of the Shang clan increased sharply. Xia Jie still has some impression of this. It seems that Shang Tang is imprisoned in Xiatai now? This is a remnant of his past life. But how did Shangtang escape? It seems that it has something to do with Yi Yin. It was his vigorous activities that allowed Shang Tang to escape smoothly?
To save or not to save? Xia Jie hesitated for a while, unable to get rid of the absurd feeling in his heart. Ridiculous, indeed, ridiculous. How could I get involved in these things? If I kill Shangtang now, Daxia will be safe and sound in the future? Not so evil? Xia Jie instinctively thought of Taoist Tongtian who had gone to the Shang clan's territory to open a dojo. Xia Jie's heart beat violently for a few times. Could it be that Taoist Tongtian had planned all of this a long time ago?
He took a deep look at Yi Yin, whose face was frightened and his eyes were sunken with anxiety and worry, and then looked at Yi Yin's fingers that had turned livid due to excessive force, and then looked at Yi Yin slowly. He said slowly: "Did you ask for help?" Xia Jie's mind started to spin rapidly. Shangtang, Shangtang, if everything goes according to the trajectory he knows, if he saves him, can he be with him? Make some good connections? If I don't save him, will he really die?
Yi Yin said with difficulty: "I went to ask the Prime Minister and the Fourth Duke."
Xia Jie's eyes narrowed, and just when he was about to speak, a group of officers and soldiers guarding the south gate strode over and yelled: "What are you doing blocking the door, a bunch of untouchables?" A small officer raised a spear in his hand and wanted to Go and whip Yi Yin, who has been running around for days, his clothes are disheveled and his face is haggard. The group of soldiers behind him also grabbed the guys one after another and beat the dozen tribesmen behind Xia Jie head-on and face-to-face. The tribesmen recruited by Xia Jie had just come out of the southern mountains and forests. They had trudged through thousands of mountains and rivers, and they were only wrapped in a few animal skins. These soldiers had long been disgusted with them.
"Hmph!" He snorted coldly, and the group of soldiers screamed and were sent flying far away. Xia Jie slightly restrained the evil spirit that he had just revealed, frowned and said to Yi Yin: "This matter, the Prime Minister and the Fourth Prime Minister I'm afraid I won't be able to speak. You have to find the ministers who are close to the king now. Do you know who the king's most favored minister is now?"
After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Yi Yin slowly let go of his hand and said thoughtfully: "I see. No wonder"
But Yi Yin looked at Xia Jie with a troubled expression, and said with a wry smile: "It's just that I don't know if the fierce weather can can" His face turned red and he was speechless for a long time.
Xia Jie nodded vigorously, looked at Yi Yin Surong and said: "Your Shang clan has spent money on hosting refugees from all over the world in the past two years. I guess there is not much money and material in the clan? Where do you live? I will send someone tomorrow Send a few carts of money and supplies, and you can use them to take care of the king's ministers first. I will stabilize the king and prevent him from ordering the killing of Shang Tang, and then, if there is a chance, I can naturally let him get away."
He patted the thin Yi Yin hard, almost knocking Yi Yin to the ground. Xia Jie said with a 'haha' smile: "Hosting refugees is a good thing to do, but don't be too ostentatious." The excited Yi Yin nodded, and Xia Jie smiled and said: "If there is anything I can do to help, just ask. I can still say a few words over the thirty-six states in the sea area."
Xia Jie patted Xuanwu on the head and nodded in a friendly manner to Yi Yin. Xia Jie led the clan members and rushed directly to the palace without going to Xingtian Mansion.
On the roof of a two-story building on the side of the road, Xiang Liurou, who had a dark green complexion, slowly stood up and looked at Xia Jie's back with twinkling eyes. With a smile on his face, Andor played with a bright red flower in his hand. He slowly stood up, looked at Xia Jie's back, and suddenly sighed leisurely: "Greetings, sir. With Xia Jie here, it will not be easy for you to defeat the young masters of the Xingtian family. Alas, it's really not easy. Isn't there someone like him around Tianhou? "
Xiang Liurou glanced at Andor sinisterly, and suddenly sneered: "You want to provoke me to fight Xia Jie? You are so beautiful!" Rouruo's boneless body twisted, and Xiang Liurou was gone. trace. Andor opened his mouth in surprise. Gradually, he smiled triumphantly. He raised his right hand and made a shooting gesture. He shouted softly at the back of Yi Yin running away quickly on the street. There was a sound - 'Pa'!
At the gate of the palace, Xia Jie, who also had a dusty face, shouted back a group of guards and asked Xuanwu to wait at the door. At the same time, he also asked Xuanwu to keep an eye on his tribe to prevent them from causing trouble. He himself quickly He quickly walked into the palace and asked to meet Lu Gui immediately.
In a side hall of the front palace, Xia Jie saw Lu Gui, who had obviously lost a lot of weight. He was shocked to see Lu Gui sitting on a jade slab on the ground as weakly as a consumption ghost. Why was his energy and spirit so different from when he went to the south a few months ago? He bowed to Lu Gui in surprise, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, something went wrong while you were practicing?" There was no way the great witch could get sick in his body. Either he was poisoned by voodoo, or he went crazy in his practice. . But the cultivation of a great witch is also extremely simple. If it is just a normal practice of witchcraft, how can it go wrong? Unless he spent a lot of energy and blood to practice some extremely evil witchcraft, how could he be so thin and out of shape?
Seeing the dusty Xia Jie, Lu Gui's energy suddenly lifted. He clapped his hands vigorously and shouted: "Come here, serve wine and meat. It's a hard journey in the fierce weather. Let me drink a few bowls of wine with you." He slapped the ground hard and laughed: "Come on, come on, sit down , sit down, you went to the southern mountains to organize the Heavenly Army, how did you do?"
Sitting down on a jade board not far from Lugui, Xia Jie said in a deep voice: "I have recruited 500,000 warriors of my clan, which is 80% of the warriors of my clan's Chihu clan. Then, from Pan Geng's hand, A total of nine million troops have been extorted. The barbarian country's vitality has been severely damaged, and within a few decades, it will no longer be able to pose any threat to our country, Daxia."
"Wonderful!" A blush appeared on Lu Gui's face, and his complexion became much better. He held up his palms and laughed and said: "Okay, okay, okay. Pan Geng's sons are still hostages in Anyi City, and he swore a blood oath again. He is very sensible, so this is good. Nine million Dingtian Army, you want Hold it firmly in your hands. Li Wu Temple has witchcraft medicine that can control people's minds, you must make good use of it."
"Here!" Xia Jie responded. It happened that several maids carefully and almost fearfully brought some jars of fine wine. He grabbed the wine jar, touched it with Lu Gui, and drank half of the jar of strong wine in a big gulp. The two looked at each other and smiled. Xia Jie felt a little relieved, and Lu Gui nodded repeatedly, obviously feeling much better.
Xia Jie was about to say a few words for Shang Tang, but he didn't know where to start. Lu Gui wiped the remaining liquid from the corner of his mouth, and suddenly cursed loudly: "Pangeng, that damn bitch, he is sensible and a good man, and he forced me to squeeze out so many soldiers for my king. However, it happened to me. The people around the king, this king was blind back then, how could he"
Lu Gui, who was foaming at the mouth, suddenly closed his mouth. He lowered his head feebly and muttered in a low voice, "How could I be so blind as to fall in love with such a vicious woman? I'm so stupid that I would join forces with someone like Xing Tian'e." His voice was vague, Xia Jie didn't hear clearly what he was talking about. However, seeing that Lu Gui's mental state suddenly became abnormal again, how could Xia Jie still dare to mention Shang Tang? He was afraid that Lu Gui would get angry and directly ordered Shang Tang to be beheaded. What kind of thing was this?
Unable to speak too much, Xia Jie could only muffled his drink and kept pouring him wine.
Lu Gui just muttered for a while, and suddenly seemed to remember something. He said enthusiastically: "By the way, I have remembered it. Is there a blood feud between your Chihu tribe and several tribes in Dongyi?"
Xia Jie's eyes suddenly turned red as if they had been filled with blood. Bai Ye, who was squatting aside and drinking from the wine jar, grabbed the wine jar angrily, smashed it heavily on the ground, and swung out five white gold streaks with one claw. The long and strong wind almost split the side hall into two pieces.
Lu Gui clapped his hands with satisfaction and laughed and said: "Okay, okay, okay. The soldiers of the Dingtian Army were just recruited by you. The elites of the Barbarian Kingdom also suffered heavy casualties in the battle of Hairen. Presumably those soldiers were among the There are not many outstanding people. We need to train our troops!" He said viciously: "I have issued an edict asking the Dongyi people to pay tens of millions of soldiers as tribute! If they refuse, you will lead the Dingtian Army. Attack the Dongyi people. If they agree, you will lead the Dingtian Army to attack the territory of Southwest Hou."
Lu Gui opened his mouth wide and drank down a jar of strong wine until every last drop was left. Lu Guiyin smiled and said: "When we attack the territory in the northwest?, just use the soldiers of the Dongyi people as the vanguard. No matter how many casualties there are, they will not be afraid. Anyway, it will wear down the strength of the Dongyi people. how do you feel? "Bending down and getting closer to Xia Jie, Lu Gui said in an extremely mysterious manner: "I heard that recently, the southwest side has been a bit uneasy. My king is just asking them for more jade, but they actually have the same thoughts as the Marquis of the Northwest. Look, if we don¡¯t kill them, can the world be peaceful? "
"This~~~"
Xia Jie drawled his voice. He wanted to give Lugui a few words of advice. For the sake of the Tianzhen Tower, everyone in the world could not survive. Xia Jie raised his hands and feet in favor of using Dongyi soldiers to quell the rebellion. Anyway, it was the Dongyi troops that were consumed. However, Xia Jie still couldn't bear to kill the rebellious people. If Comrade Lu Gui hadn't forced him so cruelly, would the common people have foolishly followed their kings and clan leaders to rebel? Daxia, this behemoth, who can stand up and fight against him after being full?
But before Xia Jie could speak, Lu Gui had already said with satisfaction: "I have issued an edict that the Tianzhen Tower must be completed within three years."
"Your Majesty, you must not do it!" Xia Jie's head was immediately covered. The originally planned ten years to complete the Sky-Suppressing Tower required the jade, fine gold and other materials that have already forced the people to breathe. Even if there are countless mineral deposits underground, the people still need time to explore and excavate? Now it has been advanced to three years and must be completed within three years. The amount of jade and other materials required in the same unit of time has increased rapidly, which will really cause turmoil in the world. Not to mention, how many craftsmen and slaves on the construction site will be killed or injured in order to complete the project ahead of schedule!
"Why not?" Lu Gui asked Xia Jie quietly: "This world belongs to me, Daxia; the people in the world are my people, Daxia. I want them to live, they live; I want them to die. , they will die! Whatever I ask for, what do I want to do? What qualifications do they have to doubt me?"
Lu Gui stood up, walked back and forth, put his hands behind his back, and said with great solemnity: "In this world, I am a god!" He turned his head sharply and looked at Xia Jie: "For those untouchables, This king is the supreme god! God wants them to do something, but they still dare to rebel and resist! Die, they must die!"
Pointing at Xia Jie, Lu Gui said gloomily: "Mengtianhou Xia Jie, I can give you greater power and greater benefits, but you have to work for me. There are still three years at most, and the Tianzhen Tower must be It must be completed.¡±
Xia Jie said bitterly: "Your Majesty, the people cannot afford it."
Lu Gui said leisurely: "The people can't afford it? What can they do? Are they going to rebel with the rebellious ministers and traitors like the Northwest Marquis and the Southwest Marquis? Didn't I give you the power to form a heavenly army? If they rebel, you go and quell the rebellion. ? Or, Xia Jie, if you don¡¯t want to do it, I will let someone else do it.¡± After walking up to Xia Jie in a few steps, Lu Gui bent down, looked at Xia Jie with a smile, and said softly: ¡°I know you are soft-hearted. .You follow that Qi practitioner named Tongtian or whatever, and you no longer look like a great witch. You are soft-hearted, that¡¯s good, if I let Xiang Liurou take your current position~~~"
Lu Gui deliberately lengthened his voice.
The corners of Xia Jie's eyes twitched violently for a few times, and he said with a helpless smile: "Your Majesty, minister, just obey your orders." Let Xiang Liurou lead the Dingtian Army? Not to mention whether Xia Jie dared to hand over his people to Xiang Liurou, but what Xiang Liurou did in the Eastern Territory, Xia Jie couldn't bear to let him put down the rebellion. When Xia Jie went to quell the rebellion, he could also use gentle methods to appease the people. But if Xiang Liurou went there, he would definitely kill everyone, plunder people's money, and finally turn everyone into slaves and throw them to the Tianzhen Tower construction site.
Xia Jie, I can¡¯t bear it!
Seeing Xia Jie's intolerance, Lu Gui smiled triumphantly: "Very good, then it's settled. In three years at most, the Tianzhen Tower must be built. I also know that those untouchables are a little bit You are dissatisfied with some of my king's current decrees, so my king's ministers are fiercely waiting for Xia Jie, are you going to bring peace to the world for me?"
The world is not so peaceful. Xia Jie didn't even have the strength to smile bitterly. He raised his head and looked at Lu Gui for a while, then said weakly: "Your Majesty, I have something to ask of you."
After rolling his eyes for a few times, Lu Gui said with a smile: "What about Shang Tang?" He patted Xia Jie gently on the shoulder and said gently: "Shang Tang and I, brothers. How could I kill him? Where's brother? It's just that he did something a little bit out of line, and I want to teach him a lesson."
Stretching easily, Lu Gui said leisurely: "Don't worry, Shangtang, everything will be fine. I just want him to suffer a little. His slave named Yi Yin can go to the city." If the door stops you, there is also a very talented person. Just go and comfort him with a few words." Blinking his eyes, Lu Gui said with a smile: "Jie, I have a secret guard around me to inform you. If we know the time when you come out of the mountains and reach the southern border, we can calculate when you will return to Anyi. Yi Yin met you at the city gate by such a coincidence. His talent is outstanding! "
Xia Jie opened his mouth and patted his forehead. He came back to his senses.
Lu Gui smiled and said nothing more, waving his hand to let Xia Jie go out.
Standing at the door of the side hall, looking at Xia Jie's back as he strode away, Lu Gui sighed: "What a pity. How great would it be if you were my friend? Well, Black Tiger, you go to Xiatai, How about sending Shang Tang away? After all, we are brothers, so you can use some good witchcraft medicine to make him die painlessly."
Lu Gui sneered and said: "After being my brother for several years, do you think you are really my brother? I have killed three of my biological brothers, let alone you, Shangtang? I am a bad person, and you are a good person? Humph? Huh, what do you want to do when you gather so many people? Where are you rebelling? Uh-huh!" He spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm and watched with a bit of pleasure as the mouthful of thick phlegm wiped out a palace maid who happened to be passing by hundreds of feet away. On the spot of the killing, Lu Gui laughed happily.
Smiling, smiling, Lu Gui suddenly roared: "Women! Bring women to me! Ten, no, a hundred! Send a hundred women to me! Rotten women, I will kill you!" "The violent aura surged out from Lu Gui's body, frightening Qing Heihu who came to him from the dark corner of the side hall and took a few steps back in panic.
After opening his mouth and moving his lips a few times, Qing Heihu cautiously advised: "Your Majesty, the people Shang Tang has gathered are all civilians. How can he have the strength to resist Daxia? So what if he gathers 100 million civilians? One It took a while for the great witch with a high position to kill them all."
"Clang", the Daxia Longque Sword suddenly came out of its sheath, and the tip of the knife touched the nose of Qing Heihu. Lu Gui said coldly: "Do you think I am stupid? I just want him to die, that's all. That's all." Lu Gui looked at the sky gloomily and said coldly: "I have carried the bad name in the world and built the Tianzhen Tower to seek a bright road for the shamans in the world. As a good friend of this king, Shangtang himself The brother I befriended since childhood not only did not help me, but used his reputation for benevolence and righteousness to highlight my ruthlessness and cruelty. Is he still my brother?"
Qing Heihu was stunned for a while, and finally knelt on the ground and respectfully answered the order: "Here! How about using the 'Zombie God Pill'?"
Nodding and shaking his head, Lu Gui sighed: "Brother, let's give him something good. Go to Zhentian Tower and ask Li Wuzun for a copy of 'Xiaoshen Powder'. Since you have killed the killer, Just do it as it is. I want him to have no chance of being summoned, possessed, or resurrected. Even his soul has dissipated, and then he will be safe."
Putting the sword back into its sheath, Lu Gui clasped his hands in front of his chest and pinched a witch seal that used violence to save the souls of the dead. He sighed leisurely: "If it weren't for him, how could I, the king, and that stinky woman Xing Tianhuaying know each other so well back then? Early? If it had been a month later, I would not have hooked up with Xing Tianhuaying, but would have gone to meet the girl from the Xiangliu family Heihu, this is my fate!"
Qing Heihu was speechless. He stood up, bowed and exited the side hall.
After walking far away, Qing Heihu heard Lu Gui's roar from the side hall: "I want to change my destiny against the will of heaven! I want to become the king of the three realms! Woman? Hey, a stinky woman, how dare you Are you plotting against me?"
The woman's screams came from far away. Qing Heihu looked at the side hall shrouded in boundless evil spirit and shook his head bitterly.
At this moment, Qing Heihu suddenly raised his head in shock, and he looked in the direction of the distant Tianzhen Tower. Something magical seemed to be happening in that sky.
Several great witches wearing bloody witch robes blew into the palace from outside the palace like wind. They rushed outside the side hall where the screams of countless women could be heard, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, a god has come down to the world. .¡±
The door of the side hall suddenly shattered, and the naked Lu Gui rushed out, shouting in panic: "Is it the god of heaven or our witch god?"
The great witch immediately said: "Your Majesty, he is our ancestor god!"
Lu Gui¡¯s face suddenly smiled as brightly as a chrysanthemum.
