Lu Gui lost a lot of weight, which is something unbelievable even among great witches. He was not seriously injured or cursed by witches. He was able to lose weight to nothing but skin and bones in just half a month. For a great witch who could grow flesh on iron and stones, it was simply too rare. This also shows how much pressure Lu Gui has been under recently and how severe his mental suffering has been.
Wearing an empty and wrinkled black robe, Lu Gui lay lazily on the throne, and said casually to Xia Jie: "That bitch Bai Zhi? Are there any remnants of the sea people? Are they colluding together? Collusion is all. Let's collude. Do the current Hai people still have the strength to oppose me, Daxia? Aren't their little military strength also wasted in the heaven? Okay, okay, Xia Jie, don't worry anymore."
Lazily, he raised his head and glanced at Xia Jie. Lu Gui suddenly took off a black jade knife from his waist and threw it to him. "This is the royal sword of the Anshi of the Royal Court. With this sword, you can mobilize the remaining 1,800 blood witch guards of the Ansi, all of whom are high-level witches. Just lead them to hunt down Bai Zhi. I will ignore other matters."
¡°Uh~~~¡± Xia Jie was stunned. The most powerful Ansi among the several top-secret forces that had always been in the hands of the Great Xia Royal Court was just handed over to him? Although it is true that the remaining 1,800 blood witch guards in Ansi are fewer than at their peak, is it too childish for Lu Gui to hand over the blood witch guards to him so easily?
The corner of his mouth twitched a few times, and Lu Gui, who came to the palace to report that Bai Zhi and Hairen had colluded, and that all Hairen's people had escaped, couldn't help but feel a little stupid.
"Okay, okay. Don't be wordy. There are too many things in the court, and I can't let the king handle everything personally. It is your duty as a minister to leave some messy things to you. Points." Lu Gui hummed lazily: "Go, go, do what you should do. Well, wait a minute"
Stopping Xia Jie who was walking outside the palace with his sword in hand, Lu Gui said excitedly: "In this way, Xia Jie, don't trouble me with small matters in the future. I appointed you as the Dingtian Army Order and asked you to do The commander of the military department. Your Dingtian Military Order is responsible for suppressing rebellions, detecting traitors, and supervising court officials. Well, I give you the power to make final decisions. It¡¯s not a big problem. You can make your own decision. That¡¯s all. If you need to kill the ministers below the imperial court, kill them if you need to kill them, and arrest them if you need to arrest them, so you won¡¯t bother me anymore.¡±
Clapping his hands enthusiastically, Lu Gui summoned his chamberlain, quickly wrote an edict, and stamped nine bloody marks on it with his seal. Lu Gui pouted and blew the handwriting and marks dry, then casually He threw the black scroll to Xia Jie. "Go, go, do what your Dingtian Army ordered you to do. I, the king, should enjoy what you should enjoy. Life is only a few hundred years, and if it disappears without enjoying it, wouldn't it be in vain? Come to the human world? Come on, people, singing, dancing, wine, come up quickly!"
Dozens of dancing girls with fluttering skirts walked in quickly and lightly, and the sound of bells and drums sounded leisurely. Lu Gui squatted on the throne and sang with his palms in his hands, looking like a madman.
Xia Jie sighed heavily, stuffed the decree and the sword into his arms, and strode out of the hall. Shu, who was standing at the door of the palace, quickly wiped his oily mouth, came up and asked: "Boss, do you have any work? I think Daxia's recent popularity is not very good, so the monthly money you give me, Would it be better to add a little more money?"
Xia Jie slapped Chen hard on the forehead, and said angrily: "Fart! What have you done for me recently? Do you want me to give you more monthly money? Go and send a letter to the thirty-six states of Haiyu. , asked my subordinates from the Secret Service to dispatch half of the personnel to Daxia. First, build three bases to train new personnel outside Anyi City Well, first secretly recruit 100,000 civilians for training. "
The secret agents and eyes and ears of the Secret Service are positions that ordinary civilians can also perform. In order to ensure the security around Anyi City, Xia Jie could only mobilize manpower from the thirty-six states in the sea area. However, the Thirty-Six States in the Maritime Area have also been very unstable recently. Half of the Secret Service's eyes and ears have been deployed. There are bound to be countless loopholes in the surveillance of the West, leaving Satan Augustus and the others with absolutely no chance. Large room to maneuver. But if you don¡¯t do this, what can you do? Compared with the territory occupied by the sea people, the Eastern Kyushu is the foundation of Daxia.
It¡¯s a pity that Xia Jie currently has too few people available. If the shrewd and slippery boy Chi Ming was still there, many problems could be effectively solved.
"Red Star~~~" Youyou sighed, stamped several sapphire boards on the floor to pieces, and Xia Jie walked down the steps with a gloomy face.
As soon as I walked down the steps, several hidden witches from the Hidden Witch Palace came running towards me. The hidden witch in the middle shouted hurriedly: "Xia Jie, the witch master is injured. I want you to go to the hidden witch palace as soon as possible."
"What?" Xia Jie grabbed the big witch's collar with one hand and lifted him up. He angrily shouted: "How could he be injured? Who injured him?"
The great witch calmly said in a very fast but calm voice: "The witch led us to hunt down the seaman technician who escaped on the transport ship. First, he was shot in the back by the three main guns of the Doomsday Fortress. , then the high priest of the sea people arrived and injured the witch master with a strange-shaped magic weapon."
"Sanadan Augustus!" Xia Jie's face was as gloomy as thunder clouds in June, and he said solemnly: "Go to the Hidden Witch Palace. With this sword in hand, go to the palace's Anshi station and kill all the Ansi. The Great Witch was mobilized and sent to the Doomsday Fortress to kill all the sea people who might be hiding in the Doomsday Fortress When it comes to finding traces, the Hidden Witch can't match them." Taking out his sword, Xia Xia Jie threw the sword to the great witch, and then his body rose into the sky, flying towards the doomsday fortress that had descended to less than 100,000 miles from the ground and was under the Gangfeng layer.
Shu screamed a few times, and the slow and heavy one also flew up. As he chased Xia Jie, he muttered: "Following you to the sky and the earth, running around, do you think I haven't done anything for you? More money, more money, more monthly money! Otherwise, I won't be able to survive. Who knows you Daxia When will it be destroyed? Then you won¡¯t be able to get so much money. More money, more money!¡±
Xia Jie had just left the palace for only a stick of incense. His hair and beard were as pale as dead bones, his face was haggard and withered, and he had a sense of death in his body. Then he attracted a large team of thousands of people and walked in slowly. royal palace. It can be seen that Daxia's tragic defeat in heaven also dealt an extremely heavy blow to the Xiangliu family. Because of Xiang Liurou's opportunity, and because of Xia Jie's help, the Xiangliu family avoided the desperate situation of annihilation, but they were reduced to the level of a second-rate witch family, and most of their elites were lost. As the head of the family, if Xiang Liubi could still live a rich and prosperous life under such circumstances, he would be a ghost.
Shivering, he walked to the square where the Jiuding was placed. Xiang Liuhuo turned around tremblingly and said dryly to the thousands of people behind him: "If you want to see the king, you have to look at your status. If you have enough status, If there are more than ten cities in the country and the population of the clan exceeds five million, they will go up to see the king with me. Others who do not have enough status can stay here."
Thousands of people dressed in different styles were shocked when they heard this, and they all clamored to meet Lu Gui in person. Xiang Liuhui slapped his hands gently, and tens of thousands of immature-looking guards appeared out of thin air in Jiuding Square, holding crossbows and aiming at these men. The strength of these guards was abysmal, but the powerful crossbows they held in their hands were filled with black smoke and a fishy smell. They were obviously filled with extremely vicious witchcraft and extremely cruel voodoo. Thousands of crossbows were fired, and few people on the scene were confident that they could save their lives.
So, thousands of people shut their mouths at the same time. Xiang Liuhui glanced at these people coldly, and scolded in a low voice: "Please be smarter! No matter how unlucky I am in Daxia, no matter how weak the national destiny is, you uncivilized barbarians cannot resist. . With just a few clicks of my little finger, I can destroy several of your countries and slaughter several of your tribes. If you don¡¯t believe it, you can try it!¡±
With a vicious sneer, Xiang Liuhui casually drew a circle towards the northwest corner of the crowd and sneered: "Kill the five hundred people here! Send a message to their king and clan leader, saying that they are in front of the king. It is rude and has greatly offended the majesty of my Daxia. The king and the clan leader are ordered to pay compensation of ten thousand square meters of raw jade, one hundred thousand jade coins, millions of gold coins, tens of millions of copper coins, millions of strong women, and millions of childish children. There are millions of cattle, sheep and other food animals, and millions of working animals. If anyone refuses to obey, the country will be destroyed!"
With the movement of the fingers of thousands of guards, tens of thousands of black lights roared out from the powerful crossbows. These black lights with black smoke three to five feet long penetrated into each human body quickly and penetrated their bodies. These people instantly turned black, and thick black plasma spurted out from their seven orifices. They fell to the ground and died miserably on the spot. These guards had just been selected from the distant relatives of the major witch families and were added to the palace. Not to mention their low level of cultivation, they were not proficient in the use of various powerful witchcraft and various ordnance. These tens of thousands of crossbow arrows not only killed the five hundred people within the range designated by Xiang Liuhui, but also implicated nearly a thousand people nearby. More than a thousand corpses fell to the ground, scattered everywhere, and soon shrank and smelled, turning into mummies as hard as gold and iron.
"Look clearly!" Xiang Liuhou warned sinisterly: "This is the palace of Daxia. The king of Daxia lives here, and he is also the king of this world!"
Pointing his finger at the frightened people who turned pale, Xiang Liuhui warned: "Be good, otherwise, it will be very bad if your own people are harmed. Daxia's current power is still enough to slaughter you." Not even three or five rounds without breathing." These envoys from the major subordinate countries and tribes of Daxia bowed their heads respectfully and fearfully, and then according to the power of their country and tribe, more than a hundred people who met the conditions stated by Xiang Liuhui The envoys followed Xiang Liuhui up the steps obediently, and the othersJie Jie stood in the square honestly. The guards holding powerful crossbows slowly retreated, and then their figures slowly blurred and disappeared in circles of air fluctuations.
In the main hall where the Great Xia Dynasty held meetings, Lu Gui, who was naked from the lower half of his body, was playing with the fou and singing.
The corners of Xiang Liubo's eyes twitched a few times. The envoys gasped at the same time. The timid envoy screamed in fright and stumbled out of the hall.
A dazzling electric light flashed, and the envoy who rushed out of the hall was burned to ashes before he could even take a few steps. Lu Gui stood up slowly, his messy long hair spread in front of him. His eyes narrowed into a slit and looked at Xiang Liuhui and the envoys from behind the messy hair. An extremely dangerous aura enveloped the hall.
"Bi Gong why did you bring these guys here?" Lu Gui asked gloomily with a blue will-o'-the-wisp flashing in his eyes.
Just as Xiang Liuhui was about to speak, Lu Gui suddenly roared angrily: "I ask you, why did you burst into the hall without telling me? You are so brave! Xiang Liuhui! Do you think you are still the same Xiangliu family as before? The head of the family? Now if I strangle you to death, it will be like strangling a beast to death! How dare you, Xiangliu family, fart?"
Xiang Liu was dumbfounded. He slowly bent his waist and bowed respectfully to Lu Gui. The envoys were also stunned. As the king of Daxia, it was extremely rare for him to curse his important ministers like this, no matter how cruel the nature of the great witch was. After all, as one of the four prime ministers and prime ministers of the Xia Dynasty, Xiang Liuzuo should not receive such treatment based on his status. It wasn't that Xiang Liuzuo didn't ask anyone to report, but because there was no one outside the hall who could report to the palace, so Xiangliuhui could only lead them straight into the main hall.
???????????????????????????????????: He insulted an important minister indiscriminately, regardless of the cause and effect of the matter. If Lu Gui could say such a thing, does it prove that he has fallen into a semi-mad state?
In the foreseeable hundreds of years to come, the person who holds absolute power in Daxia will be a half-crazy king?
The cold sweat on the foreheads of some envoys seeped out instinctively, and large strings of cold sweat dripped down their cheeks and onto the ground. The subordinate countries and tribes of Daxia have been having a hard time in recent years. If there is another violent lunatic, they will really not let anyone live. Looking at the exposed bodies of women in the hall, the envoys instinctively thought of their beautiful wives and lovely daughters at home For a moment, the hall was as quiet as a cemetery.
Lu Gui¡¯s sneer broke the dead silence. He said coldly to Xiang Liuhui: "But since I'm here~~~ forget it. Xiang Liuhui, go to the side hall to arrange a banquet, and I will entertain all the envoys. Well, don't be too rich, this year's tributes are all I haven't offered anything yet, but I am very poor and don't have anything good to entertain you." These words were so naked that they were almost rogue.
A red-faced envoy bravely stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, we are here this time to discuss some tributes"
Lu Gui turned his hand and blasted the envoy to pieces, and the flesh and blood fragments sprayed out the other envoys bright red. A dozen cowardly envoys screamed strangely, wiped their faces that turned red, and tilted their bodies. , fainted to the ground with fright. Lu Gui shouted impatiently: "Shut up! Tributes? Is there anything else to discuss about this matter? According to previous years' practice, this year's tributes will be added to all tributes by 30%!"
Thirty percent! All the envoys took a breath of air at the same time, and some of the envoys had a trace of despair on their faces. However, no one dared to speak anymore. No one dared to tell Lu Gui, because in the past few years Daxia has been frantically searching for expensive materials such as jade and fine gold, as well as countless grain and livestock. The old foundation of these countries and tribes has also been completely consumed and can no longer be taken away. There are too many things out.
¡°Hahahaha!¡± Seeing that no one was talking, Lu Gui burst into a proud laugh. He bent his body and strode into the back hall. The envoys had no choice but to follow Xiang Liuhui obediently and walked out of the main hall to a side hall a few miles away and sat down according to their respective statuses.
About half an hour later, the envoys heard a loud clanging sound on the tile surface, as if someone was dragging a heavy object on the tile surface. The envoys looked at each other in shock, but they didn't know what Lu Gui was up to. Soon, the palace servants served hot food and wine, but the wine was ordinary village brewed water wine, and the dishes were simple boiled meat cubes and stone-baked corn cakes. In addition, each person also had a small plate. The green vegetable leaves are only sprinkled with a little salt powder and have no other condiments. The food and wine provided for this feast were extremely shabby.
The envoys looked at the simple food and wine in front of them and were speechless for a long time. It's really outrageous. As the co-lord of the world, and as the suzerain of so many vassal states and clans, Daxia's performance today is really stingy to the extreme. The faces of the servants who served the wine and food were all red with shame. How could it be said that Daxia's treasury was indeed empty??But it¡¯s not that poor. The envoys heard Lu Gui's personal instructions not to organize a feast that was too rich, but they did not expect it to be so crude.
This is simply humiliating these envoys. All the envoys were holding back their anger, but no one dared to vent it out.
Putting on the neat royal robes, Lu Gui strode out from the back of the palace, surrounded by dozens of witch guards. He sat carelessly on the stone platform at the end of the hall, glanced at the food and wine in front of the envoys in a joking manner, and said coldly: "Now that Daxia is extremely poor, I will issue an order that in the future, many of my vassals in Daxia will The daily consumption of the tribe must not exceed today¡¯s standards.¡±
The envoys winked and disapproved of Lu Gui's order. Even if you, Lu Gui, are the king of Daxia, can you still control the food, drink, and laxatives of the people in the world?
However, Lu Gui made another unbelievable statement: "Recently, Daxia has suffered some losses, and its human resources have been greatly damaged. As the lord of the world, we cannot allow the population of subordinate countries and tribes to exceed Daxia. Therefore, the world The subject country must pay tribute to Daxia with 20% of its people. At the same time, within three years, except within Daxia, marriage between men and women is strictly prohibited."
¡®Boom¡¯, the envoys all shouted. Even if there was a risk of being killed by Lu Gui on the spot, they could not contain their shock and anger. Tribute 20% of the people to Daxia? Isn't this robbery? There are thousands of wars, big and small, between these nations and tribes every year. What are they for? Isn't it just to plunder the women and children of the neighbors to increase his own strength? But now, Lu Gui actually asked each of their subjects to donate 20% of their subjects to Daxia in vain!
This, this approach is a hundred times worse than banditry! Even if these vassal countries and tribes wanted to plunder the people of their neighbors, they did so with swords and spears and blood. How could Lu Gui be so easy to talk and ask for it?
More than a hundred envoys shouted angrily for a while, but Lu Gui unhurriedly grabbed a handful of green vegetable leaves on the plate with his fingers and stuffed it into his mouth with relish. He said coldly: "You don't have to pay tribute. Those who don't pay tribute will be exterminated! No men will be killed, women I don't mind having hundreds of thousands more beauties in the palace."
No one spoke anymore. If the king of Daxia wants to destroy a certain country or clan, he will definitely not be merciful. The huge Daxia army could easily kill all the men of any vassal force, and then do whatever they wanted with the wives and daughters they left behind. Even though Daxia, whose military strength had suffered a devastating blow, was still not a behemoth they could resist.
All the envoys lowered their heads, indicating their submission on this matter. Naturally, no one would refute the ban on any marriage except within the territory of Daxia within three years. The three-year ban on marriage is nothing more than a three-year opportunity for Daxia to regain its strength and increase its population. How many craftsmen were killed or injured in the construction of the Sky-Suppressing Tower? How many civilians were captured and killed in the secret transformation by Andor and Thor? How many civilians were responsible for the logistics supply during the battle in Heaven? Together with Daxia¡¯s huge army The army was reduced to ashes. These lost humans need time to reproduce.
In three years, as long as the royal court orders all couples in Daxia to have children within these three years, then most of Daxia's population will recover in three years.
Since you can even agree to the condition of paying 20% ??of your subjects as tribute, what big deal is it if you are not allowed to marry within your clan for three years? As long as Lu Gui doesn't get angry and doesn't send troops to attack him, he will be very lucky.
Seeing that the envoys sitting below no longer complained, Lu Gui nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, you all can eat and drink to your heart's content. Remember, when you go back, tell your king and clan chief that this year's tribute will be It must be delivered in time. If it is delayed, people will die, many, many people will die."
Many, many people are going to die
A wisp of evil cold air filled the hall, and everyone except Lu Gui bowed their heads deeply.
However, in the end, a brave man stood up. The black-faced old man trembled all over and bowed to Lu Gui, and stammered: "Your Majesty Your Majesty I have agreed on the tribute and the people. I wonder if your Majesty can tell us clearly that we, the vassals of the Where have all the countries and clans under the wings of Daxia gone, and the soldiers who were transferred to Daxia a few months ago?"
Lu Gui's face turned cold, his eyes were filled with lightning, and a '**' electric current exploded all over his body. He gave the old man a cold look and slowly raised his right hand. The black-faced old man shrank violently, held his head and screamed: "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare my life! I dare not offend Your Majesty, because the 230,000 troops sent by my country to Daxia are already All the armed forces of this country. Now there are no men in this country who can even carry a spear!"
Lu Gui blinked his eyes, frowned and asked, "Is your Xu Kingdom bordering the Dongyi people? Did they bully you?"
The old man said respectfully: "Yes!"
"Very good. I will give you a little explanation, and then I will ask the Dongyi people to stay away from the Yu Kingdom." Lu Gui nodded gently, just when the joy on the old man's face just appeared. , a bolt of lightning shot out from his finger, smashing the old man into pieces.
"Now, I want to tell you." Lu Gui shouted loudly without changing his face: "I, the king, will let you, I, the king, lead your scumbag troops to do something that no one can do in the ages. Great achievements!"
Lu Gui took out a sun-shooting bow from his belt, and placed a giant arrow made of fine gold on the bow string. He laughed wildly and said: "I led Daxia's invincible army and you trash that just made up for it, and wiped out the heaven! Listen carefully! I successfully wiped out the heaven! Gods, wizards, and all the gods in the three realms were conquered by me. Annihilation of Daxia!¡±
Lu Gui smiled ferociously: "There are no more gods in the three realms, only me! Only me, Lu Gui! I will be the only god, the only supreme, and the only master of the three realms!"
The expressions of the envoys changed drastically, and they looked at Lu Gui in disbelief. They heard some clues from Lu Gui's crazy laughter. Lu Gui said that he had annihilated all the gods. This should be true! Could it be that Daxia really has the strength to kill gods! And will all the great immortal gods be exterminated? No wonder the Fangfeng family and Xiangliu family in Daxia were wiped out and their power was greatly damaged. Many Wu families disappeared without a trace overnight. Is this the reason?
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Still alive to return to the human world, Lu Guior Daxiatheir strength is really scary.
The envoys finally understood one thing: Daxia is the master of this world no matter what. As for the armies of their various countries and racesis it still necessary to continue asking?
Lu Gui shot out the long arrow in his hand, and several rays of golden light flashed away. Several large holes as thick as water tanks were shot out of the heavy ceiling of the hall. Lu Gui ordered people to place several huge skin bags on the roof of the hall in advance, filled with the blood of animals, and sealed them with witchcraft secrets to preserve them. At this time, the arrow pierced the skin, and a large amount of blood poured down. There was blood on the ground in the hall two feet deep. The envoys were splashed with blood all over their faces, and their noses were filled with the pungent smell of blood.
"That day, I held a sun-shooting bow and shot countless gods!"
Lu Gui laughed wildly and said: "I have killed countless gods!"
"This king has killed countless gods!"
Holding the divine bow in hand, Lu Gui pointed his finger at the sky and said with a smile: "Among the three realms, I am the only one who is supreme! Those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish!"
The envoys and Xiang Liuhui knelt on the ground at the same time, ignoring the thick, fishy blood on the ground and shouting in unison: "Your Majesty Shenwu, the Supreme of the Three Realms!"
Lu Gui nodded vigorously and repeated with great satisfaction: "I have killed countless gods If you have other intentions, you will destroy your clan and destroy your family!"
The violent aura was so suppressed that no one in the hall dared to move. Lu Gui's eyebrows were beating, and his eyes were shining with pride. He had fallen into a hypnotic state, forcing himself to believe that he had shot countless gods and that he had led the Great Xia army to kill those gods.
The great achievements, no one can reach the end of the ancient times, such a great greatness, even if a little bit of soldiers, the people in the world decreased by 50 or 60 % of the population. What did it count?
Raising his head high with satisfaction, Lu Gui looked at the soft skin hanging down from the hole in the ceiling, and said in a low voice: "Within three terms, you will be the only one for me. Good, great good!"
The two chamberlains moved in nervously from outside the palace. One of the chamberlains fell to his knees and cautiously reported: "Your Majesty"
Before he finished speaking, there was a flash of golden light, and a giant fine gold arrow shot the upper body of the chamberlain to pieces. Lu Gui roared with murderous intent: "Presumptuous! Bold! Who told you to come in?"
He reached out to touch the arrows again, but found nothing. The treasury was empty. He only made a few giant arrows made of fine gold, but he had already used them up.
Lu Gui glared at the remaining servant and yelled wildly: "Damn you bitch, what's the matter? I'm going to confiscate your home and exterminate your clan!"
The servant was so frightened that he fell to the ground and screamed: "Your Majesty, the Dongyi envoy brought Hou Yi's documents to ask for an audience!"
"An envoy from Dongyi?" Lu Gui suddenly remembered the Dongyi people's attack on Huju Pass two days ago. He jumped on his feet and yelled: "Tell those damn guys to come in! Xiang Liuhui, go and supervise it yourself. They told them to sign in and kowtow nine times at a time from the gate outside the palace. If they don¡¯t state their name once and kowtow once, kill him, kill him!¡±
Lu Gui angrily shouted: "Dongyi? How dare they be rude to me! Draft an official document and ask the Dongyi people to present three thousand beauties. Otherwise, I will personally lead a million troops and massacre Dongyi!"
Xiang Liubo looked at Lu Gui blankly for a while. Amid Lu Gui's violent roar, he slowly and stiffly turned around to see the Dongyi people's envoy.
In the wide corridor outside the palace, the thin and shriveled Xiang Liuyou walked alone, looking increasingly desolate. After he walked far away, he sighed quietly: "Your Majesty, can Daxia still suppress Dongyi now? At the beginning, we should have left a few troops behind"
In the main hall, the sounds of Lu Gui laughing and scolding kept coming, and suddenly there were several screams. It was unknown who was killed by him again.
The entire Daxia Palace fell into violent terror.
Even the light reflected from the doomsday fortress in the sky has an ominous blood color.
