Chapter 385 The Envoy Arrives

Zhang Ye was speechless, but also a little happy. Such a shrewd daughter would not be afraid of being bullied by those thieves and boys even if she talked about marriage in the future. Zhang Ye looked happy as an old father.

There were only Zhang Ye and Tuanzi in the blacksmith shop. When Tuanzi saw Zhang Ye picking up the hammer, he was so frightened that he cried: "Ye Guo, I was wrong, I was really wrong!"

Zhang Ye said coldly: "If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you are guilty, you will be punished. How can you say that if you make a mistake, nothing will happen? How about I knock out the tripod in the middle of you?"

Tuanzi still acted like an old man, he quickly covered his crotch, crying for his father and mother: "I...I will take the punishment and make meritorious service!"

"How can you commit meritorious service for a crime?" Zhang Ye actually frightened him. The dumpling was like a toad, jumping every time he poked it.

"Now that the Three Realms are in chaos and the people are in dire straits, I should hang the pot to help the world!" Tuanzi's expression suddenly became righteous and awe-inspiring, and he was probably like this when he was deceiving others in the underworld.

Zhang Ye asked: "Hey, you don't charge money?"

"The purpose of collecting some reward is to save more people." Tuanzi said cautiously. Seeing Zhang Ye's expression change, he quickly changed his words, "Of course, the main thing is to be filial to the Lord!"

Zhang Ye nodded with satisfaction, but in order to prevent Tuanzi from pocketing the money he earned again, bah, he was supervising Tuanzi and cheated again, so Zhang Ye bought a shop opposite the blacksmith shop and asked Tuanzi to prescribe medicine. Zhuang, you can see everything.

In this way, another magical medicine store opened opposite the magical blacksmith shop.

Tuanzi also made elixirs to heal people, but the Iron Waist Copper Kidney elixir he refined was the most famous. Immortals and monks all used the elixir to cure their illnesses. Just ask you whether it is magical or not!

Time passed day by day, and thanks to Hua'er's shrewd leadership, the City of Hope's economy and population developed rapidly, and there were several more powerful Immortal Emperors.

The original city planning could no longer meet the needs. With a wave of his hand, Hua'er demolished all four walls of the City of Hope.

She said: "A city wall is a fortress that only the weak need. Without a city wall, a city can develop without restrictions!"

Because the demon hunting team organized by Hua'er expelled all the black demons within an 80,000-mile radius of the City of Hope and demolished the city walls. This was not only a sign of strong self-confidence, but also for further development.

The outside of the city where Zhang Ye's blacksmith shop is located has gradually evolved into the center of the city, and new arrivals have formed a new outer city.

The City of Hope, in just a few months, has become famous throughout the three realms, attracting more and more immortals to come and seek refuge.

On this day, a group of immortals dressed in white came to the City of Hope. They ignored the city's air ban and flew straight into the inner city.

"Who is coming?" City of Hope's city defense forces immediately flew to high altitude to intercept.

"I am the envoy of the Heavenly God Kingdom. Please call your city lord to come and receive me immediately." The leader was a powerful Immortal Emperor. He spoke with his nostrils pointed upward.

Nowadays, the Kingdom of Heaven is also very famous. Although it is not in the same world as the City of Hope, the City of Hope has also heard of their reputation.

When the city defense forces heard that it was an envoy from the Kingdom of Heaven, they felt awe-struck and said, "Gentlemen, please wait a moment and go down to inform the city lord."

That day, the envoy from the Kingdom of God heard the other party calling him the envoy. He nodded with satisfaction and said patiently: "Go."

The city defense leader immediately went to the city lord's mansion and found Hua'er: "City lord Hua, a group of people claiming to be envoys from the Kingdom of God are visiting outside the city."

Hua'er knew that sooner or later he would meet the Kingdom of Heaven one day, and there was no surprise, so he said, "Bring them in."

The city defense leader looked hesitant and said after a while: "They said they wanted the city lord to greet them."

Hua'er saw that the forces under his command were already bowing down, and he felt annoyed: "Tell them, the Lord of this city is not free, love will come or not, or get out if they don't come!"

The city defense leader was stunned for a while. That was the Kingdom of God, the strongest force after the catastrophe in the heaven. The city defense leader tried to persuade them, but seeing that the city lord was determined, he had no choice but to leave.

However, the leader of the city defense team still embellished Hua Jiangshan's words: "Our city lord is busy with government affairs, but we can't spare our time, so I can allow my subordinates to receive all the envoys."

The city defense leader had a smile on his face and was about to lead the way when he saw the leading messenger slap the city defense leader in the face: "Only you? What the hell!"

"Why are you beating people?" The city defense forces immediately drew their swords, and the leader who was beaten stared at the envoy from the Kingdom of Heaven with disbelief.

They say you should never hit someone with a smiling face, but that day the envoy from the Kingdom of God hit him and even scolded him. Although his position as city defense leader was small, he was still a bit angry.

However, he still knew the weight of the envoys from the Kingdom of Heaven and did not let his men attack them. Instead, he said: "In this case, envoys, please come back and leave slowly without sending them away!"

Anyway, that’s what the city lord meant, come and go if you don’t want to!

That day, the envoy of the Kingdom of God seemed to have been insulted unprecedentedly. He gritted his teeth and said, "You, the City of Hope, don't take this envoy seriously. Don't regret it."

As he spoke, the envoy from the Kingdom of Heaven and his group slowly drew their swords, as if they were going to kill someone if they disagreed.

Seeing the behavior of the envoy from the Kingdom of Heaven, the city defense leader was relieved and crushed the jade slip directly: "Enemy attack!"

This is no longer within the scope of responsibility of the city defense leader. Of course, people must be called.

Suddenly, fifteen Immortal Emperors formed an array by sea, land and air, trapping the entire group of people from the Kingdom of Heaven.

The envoy from the Kingdom of God's face froze that day. This was different from what was recorded in the data. There were so many powerful Immortal Emperors in a small city, which could easily catch up with the Kingdom of God!

While everyone in the Heavenly God Kingdom was stunned, the old woman who came over as the Immortal Emperor asked, "But these people are attacking the City of Hope?"

Without waiting for the city defense leader to speak, the envoy of the Heavenly God Kingdom hurriedly returned the magic treasure to the sheath and said first, "Misunderstanding, this is all misunderstanding, we are on a mission to the City of Hope on behalf of the Heavenly God Kingdom!"

"The envoy of the Heavenly God Kingdom?" The old woman looked the envoy up and down, and seeing that the city defense leader neither refuted nor admitted, she understood the reason and scolded, "Since you are here on a mission, enter through the city gate, then hand in the envoy's documents, and wait for our city lord to summon you. As an envoy of the Heavenly God Kingdom, do you still need me to teach you this little etiquette?"

"This..." The envoy of the Heavenly God Kingdom was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak for a long time. He immediately landed on the ground with his people. He was honest because he was in the wrong and was afraid of the majesty of the dozen Immortal Emperors.

The city defense leader snorted coldly. In the past, he thought that the Heavenly God Kingdom was so great, but today, he saw that it was just so-so!

It is said that the envoy of the Kingdom of Gods, under the gaze of more than a dozen immortal emperors, walked step by step to the outside of the City Lord's Mansion, handed over the envoy's documents, and waited for the summons.

Hua Jiangshan paid attention to the envoy's every move throughout the whole process, which is why the city defense leader crushed the jade slip to warn, and the masters of the City of Hope came out.

Now that he got the envoy's documents, Hua Jiangshan read them carefully, frowned slightly, and it was as expected that the Kingdom of Gods wanted the City of Hope to submit.

Outside the City Lord's Mansion, the envoy of the Kingdom of Gods waited and waited but did not see the City Lord summon him. If it were in the past, he would have left long ago, but with the thoughts of more than a dozen immortal emperors covering them, they really couldn't advance or retreat.

After a long time, an official walked out of the City Lord's Mansion, and the envoy of the Kingdom of Gods was refreshed: "Thank you, but the City Lord summoned?"

The official shook his head: "The City Lord said she is not here."

The face of the envoy of the Kingdom of Gods suddenly turned into pig liver. After being left alone for a long time, the City Lord said she was not here. Who the hell was he trying to fool? Even if you are lying, you should make up a serious reason, okay!

The envoy of the Kingdom of Heaven was about to say something, but suddenly fell silent. The City of Hope has a strong foundation, and it is impossible to make such a superficial mistake. The city lord said that she was not there, which must have some meaning.

Finally, the envoy of the Kingdom of Heaven thought of something and his face turned pale.

As the person in charge of this mission to the City of Hope, he knew the content of the envoy's document. The document described the content of the Kingdom of Heaven recruiting the City of Hope, promised some benefits, and also required the City of Hope to fulfill some obligations.

The city lord gave a reply with a sentence "The city lord said she was not there", which was unwilling to surrender.

In addition, this sentence has a second meaning. The city lord said that he was not there, which was considered to give face to the Kingdom of Heaven, but at the same time, such a perfunctory reason also meant that the City of Hope was not afraid of the Kingdom of Heaven.

From the perspective of the high-end combat power of the City of Hope, there is indeed no need to be afraid of the Kingdom of Heaven, so the envoy's face turned pale.

However, the envoy was relieved. In terms of comprehensive strength, such as mid-level combat power, resources, etc., Hope City was still far behind.

"Since the city lord is not here, I will visit again next time!" The envoy bowed and walked out of Hope City.

After the envoy left, the old woman and other immortal emperors found Hua Jiangshan: "I wonder why the city lord wants to offend the Kingdom of Gods?"

"You can see for yourself." Hua Jiangshan threw the envoy's documents to everyone and continued, "The Kingdom of Gods requires Hope City to submit. The advantage is that it will protect Hope City from now on, but the disadvantage is that 50% of the city's income must be handed over!"

"Isn't this robbery?" The old woman tasted the benefits of the city's resources, and she would never agree to hand over 50% of the income.

What's more, the Kingdom of Gods nominally protects Hope City, but in fact Hope City is very safe, and it doesn't even have to pay any cost.

There is no such reason in the world to get something for nothing!

The Immortal Emperors cursed and supported the decision of the City Lord Hua. But after calming down, they asked, "City Lord, what should we do if the Kingdom of Gods comes to kill us?"

The Kingdom of Gods was said to be so mysterious, so the Immortal Emperors were a little scared.

Hua Jiangshan said, "The robbers knocked on the door, what do you think?"

Hua Jiangshan's answer told everyone that there was no way to retreat and they could only fight hard.

The Immortal Emperors thought of the benefits that the City of Hope had brought to them, and they immediately rekindled their courage to defend their homeland. The most important thing is that the intelligence forces of the City of Hope have infiltrated the Three Realms, and some of the news sent back proved that the Kingdom of Gods was not as mysterious as rumored.

The City of Hope is not without the ability to fight.

...

The messenger of the Kingdom of Heaven walked outside the city, and one of his subordinates said in confusion: "Boss, this City of Hope is so ungrateful, we should report to the Kingdom of Heaven immediately, and then destroy this City of Hope to shock the scoundrels!"

The messenger rolled his eyes: "Do I need you to teach me how to do things?"

The subordinates did not dare to speak, and the messenger continued: "The high-end combat power of the City of Hope is not less than that of the Kingdom of Heaven, which is something we did not imagine, but the overall strength is weaker than our Kingdom of Heaven, so we can defeat it!"

"But the City of Hope also has an advantage that we cannot match, that is, the City of Hope has Master Zhang Ye in charge!"

As they spoke, the group came to the door of the Magical Blacksmith Shop, and saw a huge queue of people, which showed Zhang Ye's influence.

The messenger and others straightened their clothes and prepared to go straight in to ask to see Master Zhang, but they saw that the queue was excited: "Cao Nima, you cut in line, get out of the queue and go to the back!"

The messenger's face was irritated, and his men drew their swords one after another, thinking, damn it, they were previously overwhelmed by the dozen immortal emperors of the City of Hope, and these people in line dared to run into the gun muzzle, so they had to start a massacre, otherwise the majesty of the Kingdom of Gods would not be preserved!

However, as soon as their swords were drawn, more than twenty faint immortal emperor powers suddenly burst out from the queue. It was unknown where they came from, but there were definitely more than twenty immortal emperors hidden in the crowd!

The messenger of the Kingdom of Gods was stunned on the spot, damn, it's just a blacksmith shop, how come there are more masters than in the City of Hope!

In fact, these hidden immortal emperors were not deliberately arranged by the City of Hope or Zhang Ye. The main reason was that Zhang Ye was too famous and took root in the City of Hope, which would naturally attract the strong men from the three realms to come and create spiritual treasures.

Although some of the people in the queue were not Immortal Emperors, they were Xuanxian Tianzun. They cursed and said, "Fuck you, I've never been afraid of anyone when I fight!"

The envoys of the Kingdom of Heaven naturally did not dare to fight again, and smiled and said, "Fighting? Everyone misunderstood, it's just that our swords have been moldy for a long time, take them out and dry them!"

Spiritual treasures will mold? Damn it! However, the people in the queue knew that this group of people were cowards, so they cursed and let it go.

The envoys of the Kingdom of Heaven did not dare to return without success, so they had to run to the end of the line in shame. In any case, they should strive for Zhang Ye.

Through a large sum of money to bribe, change positions, and Zhang Ye's work efficiency, the envoys of the Kingdom of Heaven finally met Zhang Ye three days later.

Zhang Ye asked, "What kind of spiritual treasure do you want to forge?"

The messenger said, "I am not here to forge spiritual treasures, I am here to give Master Zhang a bright future!"

Zhang Ye stretched out his hand, "Bright future? Show it to me."

The messenger laughed, "Master Zhang is really humorous. Let me introduce myself first. I am the messenger of the Kingdom of Heavenly Gods. This time I came here to invite Master Zhang to join our Kingdom of Heavenly Gods."

"Joining the Kingdom of Heavenly Gods is a bright future? What about the specific rights and obligations?" Zhang Ye knew that Hua'er had rejected the Kingdom of Heavenly Gods, but he still wanted to know more about it.

"Our king said that as long as Master Zhang is willing to join the Kingdom of Heavenly Gods and forge a spiritual treasure every day, the City of Hope in the Zhenwu World can be awarded to Master Zhang as a fiefdom. At the same time, Master Zhang can enjoy the protection of the Kingdom of Heavenly Gods..."

Before the messenger of the Kingdom of Heavenly Gods finished speaking, Zhang Ye frowned and called for a stop. The City of Hope could have been considered his own. What does it mean to be rewarded to himself?

The envoy of the Heavenly Kingdom asked, "Master Zhang, do you have any questions?"

Zhang Ye's last patience with the Heavenly Kingdom was exhausted, and he said directly, "I forgot to say that Master Zhang is not in the blacksmith shop now."

The envoy of the Heavenly Kingdom was confused. Previously, the mayor of the City of Hope used his subordinates to say that she was not there, and the envoys of the Heavenly Kingdom were turned away. Now that they have met Master Zhang and talked to him, Master Zhang said in person that he was not there. This... this...

This is too much bullying.
