Chapter 835: In Your Eyes, the Taoist Co-Author Is the Biggest Enemy?

…

Tianrui Holy City and Royal Palace.

This royal palace with a history of tens of thousands of years is full of majesty and majesty.

Tianrui Holy Emperor was in a good mood. It was rare for him to leisurely watch various exotic flowers and plants in the imperial garden, and admire the scenery with swaying auras.

Behind him, in addition to an old eunuch, he was also followed by Lan Wanghai, the commander of the imperial guards, and a group of outstanding young people from the royal family.

These are the best among the young people of the Tianrui royal family. Although they are no longer able to compete with Princess Qingyang, such a large royal family cannot be supported by just one Holy Emperor. There must be a steady stream of talented people to assist the Holy Emperor.

Today, Holy Emperor Tianrui tested a group of young talents, and the results were quite satisfactory.

He has already made a plan to cultivate more powerful true immortals among the young people of this generation. In the future, they can cultivate into the middle and late stages of true immortals to assist the next Holy Emperor in expanding the territory and strengthening the foundation of the Tianrui Holy Dynasty.

In the past six or seven hundred years, the trade exchanges between the Tianrui Holy Dynasty and the Shenwu World have gradually become closer. As a result, various industries have gained a little more vitality and have gradually begun to flourish. From the bottom aristocratic families to the top aristocratic families, there has been a trend of A thriving scene.

The active growth of the economy has also caused the Tianrui Holy Dynasty's tax revenue to rise year after year, and the profits of the royal family's various industries have also risen steadily. The resources of the national treasury and the royal family treasury are also increasing.

This person, if he has too much money, he will naturally develop some ambitions.

In Tianrui Holy Emperor's plan, he plans to cultivate more young royal elites first. If he continues to prosper in the future, he will save more money to see if there is an opportunity to add another holy picture to the inheritance.

Even if it doesn't work, we should add one or two more holy weapons to the royal family, and more mid- to late-stage True Immortals with powerful combat capabilities.

"Wanghai." He was in a good mood, and Tianrui Holy Emperor was also full of energy. As he walked, he said to Lan Wanghai, the commander of the imperial army, "I heard that Wang Shouzhe of the Shenwu Wang family came to visit our Tianrui Holy Kingdom with his wife?"

When Wang Shouzhe was mentioned, Tianrui Holy Emperor's expression was a little complicated.

I think back then that kid stirred up a huge storm and deceived him so hard that even Qingyang almost fell into it.

Fortunately, from the subsequent cooperation, Tianrui Holy Dynasty made a lot of money, which naturally made Tianrui Holy Emperor choose to forgive him.

"Your Majesty," Lan Wanghai said with a smile, "I heard that the head of the Shouzhe family has moved into their Guiyuan Villa."

"Send me a gift for the emperor." Tianrui Holy Emperor muttered briefly, "Just say that the emperor will hold a banquet in the palace on a certain day to invite the couple as guests, and I hope they will show their favor."

Wang Shouzhe is an extremely talented person. In addition, the trade between the two parties is getting closer and closer, and the interests are getting deeper and deeper. If Tianrui Holy Dynasty wants to develop in the future, it will probably have to rely on Shenwu World.

Now the person who really has the decision-making power in the Shenwu Holy Alliance is a person named "Wang Fugui", who is the direct descendant of Wang Shouzhe and his wife. From this point, it can be inferred that the real decision-maker behind the increasingly powerful Shenwu Holy Alliance is probably the unfathomable Wang Shouzhe.

Wang Baosheng and Wang Baoguang, who presided over the plan to rescue Ying Lingzhu some time ago, are also direct descendants of Wang Shouzhe.

That guy is not only powerful himself, but there are also endless talents among his descendants~~

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lan Wanghai smiled again, "But my subordinates heard that after hearing the news, Princess Qingyang had already rushed to Guiyuan Villa."

Holy Emperor Tianrui laughed dumbly.

This girl's reaction was faster than him.

However, while he was laughing, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. Could it be that Qingyang really fell into it?

Unfortunately, it was useless for him to worry about this matter. After much deliberation, Holy Emperor Tianrui finally gave up on his plan to intervene.

No matter what, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, and this is not necessarily a bad thing.

Holy Emperor Tianrui shook his head and turned to other things.

During this period, many happy events worthy of celebration have indeed occurred in the Tianrui Holy Dynasty.

The biggest happy event was that God Emperor Cangping personally awarded him and the Si family awards for the Ying Lingzhu incident, and paid close attention to the development of the Tianrui Holy Dynasty.

At the same time, the Dongxia Ying clan also sent a special message to express their gratitude, saying that they would send important clan members to visit in person to thank them for their help.

This time, the Tianrui Holy Dynasty was able to get a good deal of face in front of the Cangping God Emperor and the Ying clan of the ancient saint clan, winning a lot of favor and forming a good relationship.

This is a very good start. With this start, won't we have a network of people who come and go frequently in the future, and if we deepen our connections, we will have a network of people? This is a relationship that I couldn’t achieve even if I wanted to before~

This made Tianrui Holy Emperor naturally complacent, and his expectations for the future were even greater.

Just when Tianrui Holy Emperor was in high spirits.

Suddenly, the Imperial Guard came to report that two distinguished guests had secretly arrived outside the palace and handed a greeting card to His Majesty the Holy Emperor.

Distinguished guest?

Holy Emperor Tianrui couldn't believe for a moment that someone would come to him so mysteriously, so he opened the invitation card and took a look at it in confusion.

In an instant, the smile on his face gradually solidified, and there was a hint of fear and uneasiness in his eyes.

After more than ten breaths, he said with a solemn face: "Wanghai, please come to my study."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lan Wanghai didn't know why, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he could only carefully accept the order and retreat.

Half an hour later.

The two old men were respectfully invited to the royal study of Emperor Tianrui. Emperor Tianrui personally greeted them at the door of the study, smiling and enthusiastic.

"Two distinguished guests, Lady Ji and Lady Jiang, are here to visit my little Tianrui Holy Palace. My dear Emperor, I apologize for the delay in welcoming you."

That's right, the greeting note he just received was from Ji and Jiang.

The two old men in front of them were dressed very low-key, and their auras were extremely restrained, but they could not hide the awe-inspiring and powerful aura about them.

Although it was the first time for Holy Emperor Tianrui to see them, he recognized their identities at a glance.

These two people were both Da Luo realm monks like him, and their backgrounds and reputations were much stronger than his, so he didn't dare to neglect them.

"Your Majesty Tianrui." One of the old men bowed his hand to him and said straight to the point, "The two of us came to Guibao Land to check out the conflict between my direct grandson Ji Kunlun and the Ying clan Ying Lingzhu. and details of the process.”

He addressed him as "Your Majesty", but both his expression and tone of voice were condescending, as if he didn't even take the Holy Emperor Tianrui seriously.

This old man's surname is "Ji", and he is one of the Daluo Saints of Pingtian Palace, Ji Jiuxiao, known as [Jiuxiao Saint], and he is also the direct ancestor of Ji Kunlun.

His hair has turned gray, and his face has become a bit old, but his face is still rosy, and his facial features are clear-cut. He vaguely resembles Ji Kunlun. It can be seen that he must have been a handsome boy when he was young. The aura of his body is also very powerful and domineering, and it is obvious that his strength has not deteriorated yet.

Tianrui Holy Emperor's smile was a little stiff: "Brother Jiuxiao, the little emperor only received a tip report that there was a gangster colluding with the Great Nirvana Temple in Xiruo Shenzhou, which was detrimental to the direct inheritance of the Dao Palace. I really never thought that it would be Ji Young Master Kunlun. If I find out about this matter again, I will not be willing to wade into this muddy water."

"Your Majesty Tianrui." Another old man seemed to have guessed what he would say, and said calmly with a cold face, "The matter is now over, and we have no intention of causing trouble to your Tianrui Holy Dynasty. I don't know, my direct descendant The sky is high and the earth is high, and if we do such outrageous things, we will not disobey the God Emperor and continue to defend him."

This old man's surname is "Jiang", and he is one of the saints of the Jiang family of Luojing's ancient saint clan - Dan Saint Jiang Lihuo.

Compared to Ji Jiuxiao, Dan Sheng Jiang Lihuo was thinner, and his expression was colder and arrogant, as if someone owed him hundreds of Chaos Spirit Stones.

Compared to Saint Jiuxiao, the status of the Pill Saint Jiang Lihuo is even more respected.

There is no one else, because in addition to being a saint in the Great Luo Realm, this one is also a top alchemist.

Within the entire Dongxia Divine Dynasty, there are less than two palms of holy-level alchemists, and he is one of them.

Probably because he is used to being praised by others, Dan Sheng Jiang Lihuo has always had a bad temper. He is more prone to anger and holds grudges.

"That being the case, why did Brother Dansheng and Brother Jiuxiao come to my small border holy place?" Holy Emperor Tianrui looked a little solemn.

"According to what we understand, Ji Kunlun's evil beast is indeed to blame for himself." Dan Sheng Jiang Lihuo said coldly, "But the so-called Shenwu Wang family has made it clear that he secretly designed to harm Ji Kunlun, and did not in any way combine Ji family and Mr. Jiang takes it seriously."

"What do you two mean to seek revenge from Wang Shenwu?" Holy Emperor Tianrui narrowed his eyes, and the look in his eyes became even more solemn unconsciously.

"Revenge is out of the question." Jiuxiao Shengzun sneered, "The Shenwu Wang family is always on the side of 'justice', how can we be so indiscriminate? However, we heard that Ji Kunlun, that evil beast, was originally There are plans to do some business.”

"Leaving aside what that evil beast did, we, the Ji family and the Jiang family, both feel that his plan is somewhat interesting. Our two clans are willing to complete the stalled plan and add to the heritage of our two clans."

Tianrui Holy Emperor's expression froze.

He could probably guess that Ji Kunlun's previous plan was indeed beneficial to the Ji family, the Jiang family, and even the Tianxing Holy Dynasty. But the key point is, it’s not good for him Tianrui~

If the two ancient saint clans join forces and really force the so-called "agency" from the Wang family, they will definitely block the necks of the Tianrui royal family and the Si family intentionally or unintentionally!

"Grudges are grudges, business is business." Dan Sheng Jiang Lihuo said with a sneer, "Your Majesty Tianrui, wouldn't you object to our doing business?"

Holy Emperor Tianrui was speechless for a while.

You talk about being righteous, but are you actually using your power to retaliate against the Wang family? Want to choke Wang's neck?

For a moment, Holy Emperor Tianrui looked extremely heavy: "In that case, what do the two of you want from the little emperor?"

"Naturally, we have to cut off cooperation with Shenwu World." Dan Sheng Jiang Lihuo looked at him condescendingly, "Only when all of Shenwu World's important partners in the Holy Domain cut off cooperation with them, will they obediently hand over their agency rights."

Emperor Tianrui’s face turned dark.

How dare you say that you are not using your power to suppress people and take revenge? If he couldn't beat them, maybe he would rise up and beat them out now.

"Your Majesty Tianrui, please be patient." Holy Lord Jiuxiao obviously noticed Tianrui Holy Emperor's displeasure and began to act like a good old man. "Don't worry, as long as you follow our requirements, we will never let you suffer." .Your Majesty Tianrui, you should know that our Ji family has always been in charge of the forging of weapons and equipment for the army of the Divine Dynasty, while the Jiang family is in charge of the refining of military elixirs. If we give you some slack then, you will make a lot of money. Very profitable."

For a long time, because the weapons and equipment of the Dongxia Dynasty were higher in quality and standard than those of the surrounding holy dynasties, many holy dynasties would choose to import weapons, equipment and elixirs from the Dongxia Dynasty.

Not to mention other armies, most of the weapons and equipment used by the core and most elite ace troops were imported from the Dongxia Divine Dynasty.

The same is naturally true for Tianrui Holy Chao.

Holy Emperor Tianrui knew in his heart that if he agreed to help the tiger, he would naturally receive high-quality weapons and equipment for the army, as well as priority discounts on military elixirs, but if he didn't agree, I'm afraid...

In the future, his Tianrui army would like to purchase high-quality military weapons and bulk discount elixirs from Shenchao, but they won't even leave a crack in the door.

If that was all, Emperor Rui Sheng would still be able to overcome that day.

The worst case scenario is to obtain military equipment through other channels. Even if the quality is poor and the price is more expensive, the same can be said for elixirs. Purchasing small quantities at high prices adds up to a small amount.

but!

He also knew in his heart that Ji and Jiang's punishment for disobedient people would never be that simple.

First, he was afraid that these two families would issue a resource blocking order to Tianrui Holy Dynasty, and no one would dare to sell things to Tianrui Holy Dynasty in bulk.

Secondly, he was also afraid that they would supply large quantities of weapons, equipment and elixirs cheaply to the hostile force Tianxing Holy Dynasty.

Once there is a situation of ebb and flow between Tianrui Holy Dynasty and Tianxing Holy Dynasty, it may be okay in the short term, but as time goes by, the future situation of Tianrui Holy Dynasty will definitely become more and more difficult, maybe will fall into a precarious situation.

Holy Emperor Tianrui was unwilling to give in and his mind was spinning very fast.

He thought of countless countermeasures, including reporting to God Emperor Cangping, and even asking for help from the Ying clan of the ancient saint clan.

But it's all to no avail.

The Ji family is already a giant in the field of military and martial arts, and the Jiang family is already a giant in the field of raw materials for elixirs and alchemy, with absolute authority.

They would not blatantly deal with the Tianrui Holy Dynasty, but when their power reached their level, they only needed to secretly undermine and delay it. They could also use hints to block Tianrui.

To put it bluntly, Holy Emperor Tianrui couldn't even produce substantive evidence in his report.

Although the Ying family is also an ancient saint and has a very strong foundation and strength, it cannot compare with the Ji family and the Jiang family in these two fields. Moreover, its overall strength is only about the same as that of the Jiang family, but compared with the Ji family, it is still far inferior.

Emperor Tianrui was filled with dissatisfaction.

Tianrui Holy Dynasty has finally ushered in a prosperous and prosperous situation, is it going to be ruined like this? Apart from being banned or helping others, does he really have no other choice?

"Your Majesty Tianrui, there is no need to rush to make a decision." Jiuxiao Holy Lord seemed to be pleased by Tianrui Holy Emperor's expression, and said with a smile, "Actually, coming to your Tianrui Holy Dynasty is already the last stop of our trip. We I happened to hear that Wang Shouzhe of the Shenwu Wang Clan is visiting your Tianrui Holy Palace. Why don't you make a decision after we visit him."

When Holy Emperor Tianrui heard this, he suddenly became anxious.

This is the time for big things to happen~~

He had to delay for some time, and he had to inform that brat Wang Shouzhe in advance and ask him to run away quickly and return to the world of Shenwu to avoid the limelight.

He immediately laughed out loud: "Two holy lords, how can we, a mere rural court, be so indifferent? Thank you for your respect and want to cooperate with me, Tianrui court. Let's talk about the conditions. . Our Tianrui is expanding its army recently and is short of military equipment and large quantities of pills~"

The two saints did not expect that the Holy Emperor Tianrui would be intimidated so quickly and would be more vulnerable than the other Lords of the Holy Dynasty who cooperated with the Shenwu World.

They looked at each other and decided to take down Tianrui Holy Emperor first, so that they would have more capital to oppress Wang Shouzhe.

"Your Majesty Tianrui, as the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes." Dan Saint Jiang Lihuo smiled with satisfaction, "As long as you are willing to stand on our side, you don't have to worry too much about military elixirs. Our two clans can relax a little." It’s loose enough to fill you up.”

"That's that." Holy Emperor Tianrui smiled in a flattering manner, "Come here, prepare the holy wine and holy food for me. I want to have a good chat with the two distinguished guests."

After saying that, without waiting for them to refuse, he complained with a bitter look on his face: "Don't blame me, the two saints. In fact, I was also tricked by that brat named Wang Baosheng of the Wang family that time. He tricked me into cleaning up." What a traitor, the result... oh, when faced with the enemies of the Great Nirvana Temple, the little emperor had to take action again. "

"I feel extremely regretful. I really wish I could skin that Wang Baosheng."

His expression was "obviously" a bit guilty, and he looked like he was trying his best to get rid of the blame and please the two big figures of the Ancient Saint Clan.

The two saints were now joining forces to disintegrate the Wang family's business system. When they saw the Holy Emperor Tianrui coming to the throne, they naturally showed goodwill and comfort, and agreed to have a meal together to increase their relationship and talk about cooperation.

They were also afraid of driving the Holy Emperor Tianrui into a hurry, but in the end they were determined to follow the Shenwu Wang family.

As for how to deal with the Holy Emperor Tianrui and the ancestor of the Si family after the matter is completed, that is another story.

for a time,

The palace was bustling with activity. Holy Emperor Tianrui prepared the best holy wine, holy rice, and various delicacies to entertain the distinguished guests.

******

at the same time.

The Guiyuan Villa was also very lively.

On the platform facing the water, the sun is just right, and the sound of playing cards can be heard all the time.

"Qi Tiao, Peng!" The Qingyang Crown Princess, who was dressed in green makeup and had heroic features, called Peng Peng, and threw out another card with her backhand, "Kiu Tiao."

She felt happy.

After playing Kujo, I have listened to the cards, and now I am waiting for the self-draw~

However, just when Yao Yumei was sitting down and wanted to grab the cards, Wang Shouzhe's voice suddenly rang out: "Oh Yumei, you are already messing up the nine pieces alone~"

"Huh? Am I crazy?" Yao Yumei obviously didn't realize this at all. After being reminded by Wang Shouzhe, she checked her cards with a look of surprise, "According to the rules, it turned out to be crazy. Qingyang gave me the money." Give me money~"

Princess Qingyang's expression suddenly turned resentful.

She reluctantly counted a bunch of top-quality spiritual stones and went out, then glared at Wang Shouzhe: "Wang Shouzhe, you were born to be against me, right?"

"I don't understand Yumei very well, so I just made a casual comment~" Wang Shouzhe held the tea cup and took a sip of tea with a smile, as if he really didn't mean it just now.

"A true gentleman looks at the cards without saying anything." The Water Moon Saint sitting on the other side of the table complained dissatisfiedly, "Why don't you look at the cards for me? I'm a novice too."

What a new kid~ You have played mahjong countless times in Shenwu World, and you are considered an experienced player.

Wang Shouzhe cast a contemptuous look at her.

"Sister Ruo Lan, let me tell you." Saint Shui Yue curled her lips and started to sow discord, "Wang Shouzhe just likes our Yumei. I heard that they even went to Ting Yu Xuan for dinner together~ Yes, It's the place where Wang Baosheng went on a blind date. That place... tsk tsk, it's beautiful and sentimental, and it's the most suitable place for a private meeting between men and women."

Wang Shouzhe glared over.

To dismantle him in front of him, you really don't take his boss seriously, right? I'll deduct your service salary later.

"What else is there?" Liu Ruolan rubbed the cards with a smile, "However, this also reflects the charm of our husband. One of you can tell me who wants to marry my husband as a second or third wife. , I welcome you with both hands. In this way, everyone can play cards together every day."

Wang Shouzhe felt a little numb.

It’s okay not to wait in this poor place.

He immediately put down the teacup, stood up and said as if nothing had happened, "Mu Xian, you are so happy to serve Grandma Ruolan, I'll go out and relax."

"You're not allowed to leave." Liu Ruolan glanced at him with a smile on her face, "Sister Qingyang and sister Yumei don't know much about it. You have to look at some cards for them. Otherwise, it will be said that I cheated novices out of money and spread the word. It’s damaging to my reputation.”

OK~

Wang Shouzhe sat back helplessly and returned to his job of serving tea, water and peeling fruits. By the way, he helped Qingyang and Yao Yumei from time to time and pointed out the signs.

When a group of women play mahjong together, it is inevitable that they will talk about all kinds of gossip.

After getting familiar with each other, Princess Qingyang's expression became more and more relaxed, and she casually chatted: "Have you watched the latest issue of "The Truth"? This time, His Majesty the God Emperor Cangping showed great power on the battlefield of the Void Sea. , at the cost of one projection battle loss, he severely damaged the world-destroying commander, killed five demon lords, dozens of demon gods, and also destroyed an important logistics base of the demon clan. It is truly an unparalleled feat!"

As she spoke, her eyes showed admiration and admiration unconsciously.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Liu Ruolan next to her had already changed her expression.

"Qiang!"

Liu Ruolan's Yuanshui Holy Sword suddenly unsheathed, and a dense sword intent instantly filled the water-facing platform.

"Old Cangping dog is so shameless. My Yingxuan and Li Ci were clearly in charge of the overall situation, but he actually took all the credit for the war on himself!" She sneered, her breath surging throughout her body, and she looked like she wanted to chop Cangping into pieces. The God-Emperor’s expression said, “Lao Cai!”

"Lao Cai is here."

Cai Youdao heard the call and hurriedly came in. He bowed respectfully to Liu Ruolan, but his face was full of bitterness: "Grandma Ruolan, God Emperor Cangping is too powerful. I can't beat you, Lao Cai." Ah~ let’s think of another way~~”

"Madam, calm down." Wang Shouzhe also hurriedly advised, "God Emperor Cangping is at the level of a Taoist master. We, the husband and wife, cannot beat each other even if we are tied together. Calm down, stay calm."

With the improvement of cultivation, the switching between Ruolan's two personalities has become smoother. Now he can draw his sword directly without getting angry.

After persuading her for a while, Liu Ruolan's expression gradually softened a little.

She took back the Yuanshui Holy Sword with some reluctance: "Hmph~! Then record it in the account first. When I can beat him, I will make sure that old dog looks good."

But even so, she still had a dark face, and her displeasure was almost written on her face: "Where is Baoguang? How did that kid do his job? He actually helped Cang Ping promote it, but not our own children?"

"Madam, Baoguang has already made it clear in the letter." Wang Shouzhe breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "This matter is of great importance. In order to prevent our Wang family from being too aggressive, we should suppress the heat and keep a low profile. I think, He's right."

"Hmph~ When did that kid start hiding his abilities and bide his time?" Liu Ruolan looked unkind, "You send a message to him to come back. I want to ask him personally."

"Yes, madam, I will summon you immediately." After Wang Shouzhe finished speaking, he quickly winked at the other women, signaling them to quickly think of a way to change the topic.

If I really want to arouse my wife's violent temper, I'm afraid something big will happen.

Princess Qingyang and Yao Yumei looked at each other in shock. For a moment, they didn't dare to speak randomly. There was a hint of awe in their eyes when they looked at Liu Ruolan.

The sword intent just now, although it was just done casually, was actually a bit scary. They both felt completely suppressed just now, so they didn't dare to say anything at all now.

Water Moon Saint was quite familiar with Liu Ruolan's strength and temper, so she was not frightened. After receiving Wang Shouzhe's look, she was ready to change the subject.

But before she could speak.

The voice of Lan Wanghai, the commander of the Imperial Army, sounded outside: "Brother Shouzhe, are you here? I am Lan Wanghai."

Wang Shouzhe was happy to be interrupted by something, and quickly ordered someone to invite Lan Wanghai in.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they met, Lan Wanghai didn't even bother to salute, but urged him to leave with an anxious look on his face: "Brother Shouzhe, hurry up, leave the Tianrui Holy Dynasty with your wife, and go back to the Shenwu World to avoid the limelight. You guys. The great enemy has come to the Holy Palace and is preparing to cause trouble for you."

"?"

Wang Shouzhe's expression also became slightly serious.

He ignored Lan Wanghai's urging, frowned and speculated: "The enemy? Is the Pingtian God King Ji Taichang coming? No, he should be busy on the battlefield at the moment to deal with the demons. Could it be the Nirvana Buddha? Also? No, his soul has been seriously injured. Could it be Taoist Master Taichu...?"

When he mentioned the name, Wang Shouzhe couldn't help but glance at Liu Ruolan. If he remembered correctly, the contemporary Taichu Taoist Master was Ruolan's junior brother.

Listening to Wang Shouzhe's speculation, Lan Wanghai almost spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Wang Shouzhe with a faint look.

Co-author Only Dao Master-level existences are considered serious enemies in your eyes, right?
