Chapter 271: 【Interest】
Chapter 271 [Interest]
"The kingdom of Nalan also cut off its tribute? Is this the first time this year?"
In the imperial capital where the autumn wind is bleak, a group of people in the teahouse are righteous and indignant discussing another bad news.
"Nalan, Boyi, Bago, Three Buddhas, Ava... We don't seem to have many tributary countries anymore..."
"Damn it! A group of worms eating vegetarian meals in the court hall will only watch others take away our tributary country?!"
"Hey...the empire is full of beacon and smoke, how can there be time to manage the tributary country?"
"That's right, the rebels in the west have not been wiped out yet, the savages in the northeast are harassing Liaozhou again, the tribal leaders in the north are ready to move, the White Lotus Sect in the south is like a wildfire, and the pirates along the eastern coast are rampant..."
"Don't say it, things have been going bad in the past few years, and even Taixi's small country dared to oppress our big min! It's really annoying!"
"What kind of a small country? Flu is a first-class empire of Taixi. It's amazing. You frogs in the well have no idea how big the world is!"
Suddenly, several people wearing weird Western-style clothes and monocles on their faces said, but their nondescript dress seemed to make them feel superior, and they looked at the surrounding tea guests with a hint of contempt.
"The territory of the Fulu Empire is larger than that of Damin, with a prosperous culture and advanced technology. It is different from some barbaric and backward countries. It is the real light of civilization. The Nalan Kingdom abandoned the darkness and turned to the light and changed the Fulu Empire as the suzerain state. Smart move!"
Hearing these people's yin and yang strange words, the surrounding Sanjiao Jiuliu was even more suffocated.
"Take it down, the mainland of the Flu Empire is not as big as our own state, and the overseas territories are just colonies ruled by tyranny, what is it that is not a small country?"
"That is, adding the so-called great empires of Taixi together, the local area is not comparable to that of Damin, that is, they are lucky. In the past 100 years, they have seized many colonies with their strong ships and cannons, otherwise they will be tied together. Not even worthy of our shoes!"
"Those countries in Taixi slaughtered in the colonies, raped, looted and committed all kinds of evils, and brought the light of civilization? Do you really think we don't read newspapers?"
It was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. Several people heard that the Taixi countries were not good. It was more uncomfortable than digging their ancestral graves, and their eyes suddenly turned red.
"Fart, any commoner in Taixi lives better than the princes and nobles of Damin, a copper can buy a few kilograms of meat, it's not rare for a colony at all!"
"Hehe, then they are still grabbing territory all over the world? Even our tributary countries are not spared?"
"The purpose is to spread advanced civilization to the backward regions, to give alms and enlightenment, forget it if you are not grateful, but you still slander others?"
"Slander? The Nalan Kingdom has asked Damin for help several times before, saying that the army of the Flu Empire is inferior to animals, and that there are ten rooms and nine empty places where they pass. Later, the capital fell. They slaughtered the city for ten days, even the queen and princess Being humiliated to the point of death, do you call this alms education?"
“…”
One sentence made several people flush, and after being stuck for a long time, they slapped the table angrily.
"What do you know? That's the throes of civilization!"
…………
Similar quarrels spread throughout Damin, but they are just a microcosm of the conflict of ideas. In the chaotic world, people began to think and seek change, but limited by their vision and the behind-the-scenes power to guide public opinion, all kinds of extreme ideas began to appear. Grows in savagery.
But in any case, the situation is stronger than human beings. Against the historical background of the fall of destiny, the hearts of the people of Damin are constantly being frustrated by successive bad news. From their self-confidence and superiority dozens or hundreds of years ago, they gradually become inferior and confused, and even begin to doubt themselves. Is the civilization really corrupt and ignorant.
Otherwise, why are those countries in Taixi prosperous and prosperous one by one, and they have expanded their power to the door of Damin's house, but they even have a problem with eating enough!
And just as the international situation was turbulent, a low-key fleet slowly docked at the Kyoto port of Fusang. Yang Xi felt a slight suffocation.
Looking calmly at the back standing at the forefront, Abe Yoshi could sense the unknown excitement and anxiety from his seemingly calm aura.
OM
When the black giant ship came into contact with the land in the port, Abe Yangxi only felt that the whole world was shocked, as if two incomparably huge beings were linked together, and the mysterious national fortune changed in an instant.
But from the mysterious and mysterious connection, Abe Yangxi could vaguely spy a terrifying shadow, and it was just the vague feeling that made him lower his head and tremble uncontrollably.
Kacha Kacha
The steel giants of five or six meters in height walked down from the black ship slowly in a neat line. Behind them, a low-key gentleman in black appeared on the side of the ship, overlooking the whole land with a half-smile.
The pure black and gold tuxedo was low-key and gorgeous, and the tall and straight man stood on the side of the ship, ignoring that a king was waiting for him below.
And not far from his feet, Abe Yangxi overcame his instinctive fear and looked up calmly.
The man who looks like a gentleman can't see the slightest supernatural power, just like an ordinary mortal!
He is holding a black civilization stick in one hand, playing with a large golden circle in the other hand, wearing an exotic cross tie around his neck, a single piece of gold wire glasses on his handsome face, and a very typical Taixi noble dress. .
seemed to sense Abe's gaze, the man slowly lowered his head and nodded to him with a smile.
was obviously a friendly gesture, but Abe Yangxi felt a chill inexplicably and lowered his head in awe.
"[Zhengde] Your Majesty, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Caput, an ordinary businessman."
Just as he bowed his head, a gentle whisper was already sounding in front of him. When Abe Yangxi raised his head again, he found that the man in black named Caput had already stood in front of his Majesty.
also seemed to feel the unpredictable power of Caput. The stern middle-aged man in the dragon robe of auspicious clouds nodded slightly, and shook hands with him in accordance with Taissi etiquette.
"Mr. Caput has come a long way, and our country is flourishing."
"Hahaha, Your Majesty is polite, businessmen are chasing interests, I just want to share the worries for Your Majesty and make a little money at the same time."
Caput raised the corners of his mouth with a half-smile, and seemed to be in a very happy mood.
After pondering for a moment, Zhengde raised his dark and cold eyes and looked directly at Caput.
"I wonder how Mr. Caput plans to share my worries?"
"It's very simple, His Majesty is still the title of King, and the King of Heaven is not very pleasant... um... [Emperor], I think [Emperor] is not bad!"
Rubbing his chin, Caput looked Zhengde up and down and smiled with great interest.
But his casual words made Zhengde's pupils shrink slightly, and a scorching divine light flashed in his eyes.
“[The Emperor]…[The Emperor]…”
chewing these two words carefully, Zhengde looked at Caput's eyes, trying to spy something from his pupils.
However, those clear eyes were like the deepest blue sea, and the tentative gaze could not find the slightest feedback.
"Actually, with your Majesty's strength and country, you can try to ascend to the highest holy position in other places..."
Caput looked around with emotion, his deep eyes seemed to include the entire Fusang Kingdom.
"Unfortunately, in the special system of Damin, you can never bypass the supreme [Emperor]."
The half-smiling expression seems to have a hint of gloating, but Zhengde seems to be unaware, and he slightly bows his hands with no trace of joy and anger.
"Please also teach me sir."
"Simple, cut off the tribute and claim the emperor!"
Om!
lightly flicked the big golden circle between his fingers, the golden coin spun rapidly in the air, and then fell firmly into Caput's palm.
“…”
After a brief silence, Zhengde shook his head expressionlessly.
"The strength of Fuso is not enough."
"Hahaha, don't worry, it'll be enough soon, I'm here to borrow power for His Majesty."
Sensing Zhengde's frown, Caput flicked the gold coin between his fingers again and muttered meaningfully.
"Money can turn misfortune into good fortune, turn defeat into victory, those who are in danger will find peace, those who are dead will live, the length of their lives, and the wealth and wealth are all about money..."
"And I just can provide enough [money] for His Majesty."
OM
The golden coin swirled and flew, and Zhengde subconsciously reached out to catch it. The moment he held the gold coin, he suddenly felt a mysterious force pouring into his body.
That is not someone else's power, but his own power!
In the future timeline, his power after being canonized!
Holding the big golden circle in his palm tightly, feeling the authority to tamper with cause and effect and distort fate, Zhengde's eyes were burning with raging flames, staring at Caput.
"So... Mr. Caput, what's the price?"
pursed his lips with a smile that was not a smile, and Caput pinched a tiny distance between them with two fingers.
"Just a little bit of [interest]."
…………
The vast and wonderful space is covered with gold coins, and the pure golden earth spreads to the end of the line of sight.
In the center of the earth, a star-like pyramid is suspended from the ground, and a mysterious eyeball at the top is wriggling like a living creature, monitoring the entire world.
Suddenly, a man wearing a black gold-studded tuxedo and holding a civilization stick came to this space, and flicked a gold coin out of thin air.
OM
Tightly closed and transformed into a wonderful power, and a few indeterminate outlines were conjured around him.
"Shruns, take the bait and plant a plague for them."
"Your will, my lord."
"How's the situation on Daemin's side?"
"Very well, [Emperor] is about to fall, and [Wufu]'s brilliance is not enough to resist the spread of the plague."
"Very good, when Fusang becomes emperor, they will definitely turn their attention to Shen Li. In order to repay the [interest], they can only sacrifice this kingdom to me..."
OM
Another golden coin turned between his fingers and flipped back and forth, and Caput smiled and murmured.
"When the last two tributary states are cut off, it will be the death of the [Emperor]... Wall!"
"Follow your call, my lord."
"Weid longed to set foot on a higher path, and I promised to start a war for him!"
Looking at the silhouette hidden under the blurred blood-red robe, Caput supported the single piece of gold wire glasses on his face and murmured softly like an aria.
"Just as the feast to divide up Damin is about to start, let's start this war in his name... Let's call it the [Battle of Redemption]!"
OM
The gold coins between the fingers spin and fly into the air, melting into the bizarre world.
Along with the melting of gold coins, on the distant world line that no one can feel, a subtle twist has quietly formed, leading the future to move in the given direction.
"In the end, there are still too many evil people in this country. Taking advantage of this purification, it is enough to leave one-third of the obedient lambs, and the rest will be transformed into our strength..."
The words followed, and a gold coin popped up again. Caput seemed to see something, and a bottomless dark shadow was reflected in his half-smiling pupils.
"Your will, my lord."
Several blurred silhouettes knelt down at his feet neatly, and disappeared in the air in a blink of an eye.
"In this way, the conditions are almost the same, the Lord of Destiny, the Holy of All Saints...hehe..."
In the wonderful space with only one person left, Caput slowly stretched out his hand and grabbed it, as if he had grabbed something.
Accompanying his movements, the stellar pyramid trembled slightly, and the earth composed of gold coins resonated and oscillated, like a liquid golden ocean, revealing a spirally collapsed pitch-black vortex right below the pyramid!
The funnel-shaped pitch-black vortex and the pyramid complement each other like mirror images, which together form a contradictory picture of evil and sacred.
………………
"what?"
He looked up at the sky with feeling, Zhao Yinshun frowned and blinked in confusion.
"What's wrong?"
"It seems...something has changed in this world..."
"Um?"
was stunned for a moment, the beautiful woman wearing a crown mask followed his line of sight, and after a long time she shook her head.
"I don't see any changes."
"Well... maybe it's my delusion."
Rubbing his chin, Zhao Yinshun muttered to himself, but there was an inexplicable sense of urgency in his heart.
Somewhere, he seemed to feel that some invisible shadow curtain was expanding infinitely, as if to engulf the whole world.
"Is the delusion serious? Hmm...Although you are still 'small', you still have to be careful of the [Mythical Disease]!"
Feeling Oakley Yani's strange gaze, Zhao Yinshun's face was full of black question marks.
"Myth disease?"
"Well, after the transformation of divinity, the soul and body of the gods can almost be equated with the laws of nature to a certain extent, the embodiment of concepts, the condensation of symbols..."
"But correspondingly, the part of being a human will also be affected by the Dao all the time, and if you are not careful, you may become crazy."
"The most serious situation will even be completely polluted, and the incarnation will follow the instinct and move, blindly and foolishly, the divine disaster."
Oakley Yani shrugged and sighed earnestly.
"The class system in ancient times is far less mature than it is now, so those ancient gods are facing the essence of the world, and they are generally more powerful...and more dangerous!"
Inexplicably, Zhao Yinshun thought of his forgetful master at home, and frowned solemnly.
Thank you [Supreme Evolver] [Practice Desire] and other book friends for their rewards.
I got it in the early morning yesterday, got up at six o'clock this morning and was busy again. I got it all the way into the evening. When I came back, I hurriedly code words. Now the blood vessels in my head are throbbing and hurting, and everyone is numb. (T▽T)
