There was a soft smile on his face, and he said: "I am busy with other things on weekdays, and I haven't been this happy for a long time. In the beginning, I am going to give you a gift. If you are satisfied, you also need to give me the gift that makes me satisfied. If you are not satisfied, then I will give you this gift for nothing."
Ji Xia said without hesitation: "If you want to give me a gift from Tai Cang, there are still many things that my Tai Cang lacks, such as talisman jade, spices, silk, but if you want to give me a gift, I don't lack What, Brother Xingzhao, I'm afraid this gift of yours will go into my bag for nothing."
"Oh?" Gong Xingzhao said with a smile: "Do you know how many people my big talisman has? How many talisman clans are there?"
Ji Xia shook his head and said, "Naturally, there are many races in the Great Talisman Kingdom, about 900 million people, of which the Talisman Race only has a million people, and the rest are other races."
"Then do you know how many human races there are in my Great Talisman Kingdom?"
Ji Xia's slightly drunken expression immediately disappeared, and he became more energetic.
His half-lying body also sat up straight, looking at Gong Xingzhao with burning eyes.
Gong Xingzhao looked at her nose and mouth, and her mouth at her heart, looking at the table of dishes in front of her, she didn't seem to see Ji Xia's eyes.
Ji Xia rolled her eyes, and when she raised her hand, there was an extra piece of jade in her hand. There were snake patterns on this piece of jade, which looked quite strange.
"Brother Xingzhao, this piece of spiritual gold is called serpentine. It is a rare treasure that I got by chance. It is most suitable for engraving runes. When I saw my brother today, I felt that my brother and I were in the same path. Let me I can't help but want to get closer, so I will give this serpentine to my brother as a gift to express my sincere feelings."
Gong Xingzhao raised his hand, and the serpentine fell straight into his hand.
After carefully looking at the serpentine, Gong Xingzhao nodded, and the serpentine disappeared.
Gong Xingzhao still did not speak.
Ji Xia frowned slightly, and reached out helplessly, another jade box appeared, and when it was opened, there were three medicinal leaves, a medicinal core, and the root of the precious medicine.
Ji Xia said: "Brother, I picked this precious medicine from the Gobi floating island. It has abundant spirit energy and strong medicinal properties. It is an extremely precious treasure!"
Gong Xingzhao took the jade box and drank a glass of wine.
Ji Xia gritted her teeth, and said secretly: "It seems that Gong Xingzhao has extraordinary vision, and ordinary vulgar things can't impress him."
He thought for a while, and was about to take out a few more treasures.
But I heard Gong Xingzhao chuckled and said: "Okay, I was just joking with you, how old am I, how can I blackmail your treasures, I will accept these two things, the human race in my Dafu Kingdom, Take it as my reward."
Ji Xia was overjoyed and asked, "Brother, how many human races are there in Dafu Kingdom?"
Gong Xingzhao thought for a while, and replied: "The human races in the Dafu Kingdom are mostly slaves of various races. The Dafu Royal Court has never counted them. I think there are still 50 million."
Ji Xia looked more and more cheerful, and said: "Then I will thank the clan brother."
Gong Xingzhao said: "As soon as I go back, I will order people to come to Taicang to deal with the matter of relocating the human race in Dafu Kingdom."
With such a gift episode, the atmosphere between the two kings became more and more harmonious, and even the mountain god Sang Mao became more respectful towards Ji Xia.
He has been following King Fu Sheng, heard many secrets, and heard King Fu Sheng's evaluation of Ji Xia and Bai Qi, and clearly understands that there is a huge gap in strength between himself and this gentle man in black.
His initial contempt for Tai Cang, a small human country, also dissipated.
After chatting for a while, Gong Xingzhao got up and left, Ji Xia saw him off, the two walked in the front with their hands behind their backs, and Bai Qi and Sang Mao followed behind.
"Your building is complete, and the construction is indeed extremely beautiful. I am repairing the Yangshang Palace, and it is not so beautiful."
Gong Xingzhao looked around at the buildings lined up along the road, and saw many officials and common people getting along in harmony and order, so she appreciated it more and more.
Ji Xia said with a smile: "Actually, the inspiration for many buildings comes from Fengfu Xiuyang Shanggong. Without my travels at that time, I am afraid that the buildings in Taidu would not be so beautiful."
Gong Xingzhao said with a half-smile, "My money was actually used to build this capital."
Ji Xia was puzzled, and looked at Gong Xingzhao in doubt.
"I have raised the Sishen Pavilion for many years. One is to catch the big fish behind them, and the other is to fatten them up before slaughtering them. I didn't expect to be profited by you, a young fisherman."
Ji Xia laughed, eyes dodging.
Gong Xingzhao looked at the young king amusedly, and said helplessly: "You don't have to worry, my big talisman has nothing to praise, but when it comes to wealth, there is no country in Xunkong that can match it. It’s just a fattened lamb, if it can be slaughtered, if it gets sick and dies halfway, or is picked up by wolves, there’s nothing to be sorry about.”
When Ji Xia heard that Gong Xingzhao didn't intend to take back these treasures, he immediately saluted him and praised: "Brother Xingzhao is very generous."
He paused for a moment and asked, "Brother clan, you said just now that there are big fish after the Temple of Worship, do you know where the power is from?"
Gong Xingzhao replied casually: "Actually, the Pavilion of Worshiping Gods has appeared in the Infinite Wilderness many times in its long history. Fish, even if they are slaughtered, they won't yield a few ounces of meat, but if they can catch a whale, it can also supplement the family's income."
The corner of Ji Xia's mouth twitched, and he said: "There are more than ten spirit masters, one of them is still a small fish, if a whale really comes, isn't the clan brother afraid that the big talisman will be swallowed by the whale?"
Gong Xingzhao glanced at Ji Xia, then turned to him and said, "In the early days, you underestimated the big talisman."
Ji Xia froze for a moment and remained silent.
Indeed, he finally met the famous King Fu Sheng today. Is it true that such an amazing and talented person, who has run the country for many years, is only comparable to Qi Ling?
Is it true that there is only King Fusheng in the big talisman who is a strong man in the Lingfu?
Is what he heard in his ears, the information that everyone knows, really the whole of the big talisman?
These questions made him slightly distracted.
"In the beginning, after this farewell, I will probably retreat for a while. The next time we meet, maybe it will be the beginning of the catastrophe. I have a good affinity with you. I hope to see you next time, and you will become stronger."
Gong Xingzhao's eyes were clear, and there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Ji Xia also said sincerely: "Ji Xia thanked the clan brother for his kindness."
Gong Xingzhao nodded, turned to look at Bai Qi, and said, "Fellow Taoist, next time we meet, I will tell you my truth."
Bai Qi nodded gently: "Good."
Chapter 2 Sixty Secrets
Fu Sheng Wang Gong Xingzhao left, and Ji Xia, who learned that a catastrophe was coming, became more diligent. In addition to handling government affairs, he devoted himself to practicing, studying classics, and studying spiritual taboos.
Tai Cang has also entered a stage of rapid development.
Tai and Cang cities are strictly rationed with Lingmi and Lingquan.
In addition, young and strong people can also exchange extra labor for Lingquan Lingmi.
This is Taicang's conscious effort to let the people of Taicang accept the idea of more work and more pay, laying the ideological foundation for the upcoming reform.
Tai Cang's overall strength is also developing rapidly.
In mid-July, because of Lingquan Lingmi and the ancient star tree that grew as thick and tall as a phoenix tree, the Taicang Army's strength increased rapidly just as Ji Xia expected.
After Shi Yang served as the general of Taicang Silver Guard, he went to the royal court and recruited good soldiers from the Cangshou army, making up a total of two thousand.
In the Cang Shou Army, students from the Tai Cang Academy Middle School joined in, and with the newborn blood obtained from General Zuo Kun's reserve battalion, they made up [-] yuan.
