Chapter 3641 What Do You Think?
Tens of days later, the two appeared in front of Tianyao Realm.
"Two fellow Taoists...ah, yes..."
The guard who came forward was stunned for a moment and couldn't close his mouth. "Zhou, City Lord Zhou?"
Zhou Shu raised his hand, "It's me. Fellow Taoist, please let me know."
The guard saluted respectfully, turned around and left, "I'll go right away. It's strange that City Lord Zhou is coming. Why didn't the Lord inform us guards..."
Hao Ruoyan frowned unconsciously, "Look at you, you didn't tell the Haizhi Kingdom before you came. Ruoyan thought you had already notified him, so he didn't care. Master Shu, you are now the lord of Xianshu City, and you are honored everywhere you go." The receptionist ended up being so hasty that no one else knew what to do."
Zhou Shu said calmly, "But they didn't notify me last time they came. At that time, there was no formation boundary in Xian Shu City."
Hao Ruoyan was stunned for a moment and whispered, "Master Shu really holds a grudge..."
Zhou Shu laughed and said, "Haha, I'm not holding a grudge. If I were really holding a grudge, we would already be inside and the guards wouldn't even know."
Not long after, Xie Xun strode over, followed by two generals, including the heads of the three imperial families.
Xie Xun frowned, "Zhou Shu, why did you come here today and didn't say anything before you came?"
"It's been a long time since I've been here. Come and take a look at Tianyao Realm. Is that okay?"
Zhou Shu smiled and said, "Why did you come so quickly, Mr. Xie? Shouldn't you still be in the Star Sea Realm?"
Xie Xun said with a look of displeasure, "Are you still talking? I get annoyed when I see that guy. Xie Zhou will handle the rest of the matter, so I can relax."
Zhou Shu nodded, turned to everyone and said, "Don't be busy, everyone. There is no need for these etiquettes between allies. I want to apologize. I want to go to the king first, and then I may also visit you in your house. I will talk then. .”
Xie Xun waved his hand, "You all should leave. I told you that there is no need for this. City Lord Zhou is not an ordinary person."
Everyone left one after another, and a trace of doubt flashed in Xie Xun's eyes, "Are you here to see the king?"
"yes."
Zhou Shu was very calm, "The king has been a little strange recently, are you the one who said these words? You were vague and hesitant before, but now that I'm here, you can always make it clear, otherwise you can't Expect me to change something.”
"Oh, it is indeed strange," Xie Xun glanced around and sighed, "You have met the king before and know that he is actually a man of great talent and forbearance. His face is as smooth as a lake but his heart is thundering. Although I I lost, but I am also very happy that the Haechi Kingdom can have such a leader. I believe that under his leadership, the Haechi clan can move towards glory, but now he has changed and become too radical."
Zhou Shu paused for a moment, "For example, launching a war against the Star Sea Realm? It took nearly 100,000 years since the founding of the country to take this step. Isn't it considered radical?"
"This is just the first step."
Xie Xun paused, seeming to have made a decision, "To tell you frankly, the king has convened our four generals to discuss many strategies over the years, and after entering the Star Sea Realm, the next step will be implemented. The goal of the king It starts from the Xinghai Realm and goes all the way to Tianwu City."
Zhou Shu was stunned for a moment, "Tianwu City?"
Hao Ruoyan said thoughtfully, "As for Tianwu City, there are almost 1,600 active realms in the Star Sea Realm, with more than 70 forces."
Xie Xun said helplessly, "Yes, the king plans to incorporate more than a thousand realms into the territory of the Haizhi Kingdom."
"This..." Zhou Shu looked at Xie Xun and said with a smile, "Did the king ask you to say these words? It's a bit redundant that he still comes to test my thoughts. Haha, I didn't expand the immortality quickly. You can definitely tell Shu Cheng what he thinks."
"I knew you would say that."
Xie Xun sighed, "When the king first brought it up, everyone thought he was testing our minds. This is what prophets like to do, but gradually we knew that the king was serious. You can do it if you don't believe it." Look at the changes in the Haechi Kingdom over the years.”
Zhou Shu looked at Hao Ruoyan and asked, "What's the change?"
Hao Ruoyan pondered for a few breaths and said slowly, "I don't know what the Haechi Kingdom was like before, but now they have determined the direction of development with war as the goal. The Haechi Kingdom has recruited a large number of practitioners, some of whom They were recruited from Xianshu City. They paid a lot of immortal jade for this. In addition, they also borrowed a lot of war resources such as talismans and magic weapons from Xianshu City. They said they would repay them with other resources. Ruoyan felt that this The deal was worth it.”
Xie Xun added, "Most of the recruitment was done by the three Yuqian families. I heard that they got a promise from the king, saying that after the war begins, as long as they can occupy it, those realms will be theirs, and those destroyed will not count. Every family will You can still get at least two hundred realms.”
Zhou Shu hesitated for a moment, "Is that so?"
Hao Ruoyan said warmly, "Ruoyan didn't pay much attention to this and didn't discuss it with Master Shu. It's Ruoyan's fault."
Zhou Shu waved his hand, "Don't talk nonsense. It is originally a matter of the Haechi Kingdom and has nothing to do with you. Xianshu City is enough for you, how can you still take care of the Haechi Country? It's good if you can understand the changes. I'm just a little bit It’s strange why the Haechi Kingdom does this.”
Xie Xun spread his hands, "I objected, but the king didn't listen. On the contrary, the three imperial families went crazy and took out everything from the bottom of the box. They were busy all day long. Even Lu Lu got a special permission. After returning to the Haezhi Kingdom and receiving the promise from the king, they will fight for their family."
"It would be the same for anyone else."
Zhou Shu was not surprised, and paused, "Ruoyan, what do you think?"
Hao Ruoyan thought for a while and said, "Master Shu is saying that with the support of someone behind the scenes, he can also get a large number of realms as the family's inheritance, which is equivalent to the emperor dividing the princes. Whoever grabs it will be his, and whoever replaces him will have to fight hard, but Ruoyan can't think of it. The purpose of going abroad to do this is that for the sparsely populated Haechi tribe, it is not beneficial to them to occupy so many realms quickly. Even if there are more shadows of reality, they cannot control it. If the Haechi tribe wants to grow, they must first do The goal is to increase population, not expand territory.”
Zhou Shu nodded, "That's right, unless the king really wants to reward the three imperial families and give them the opportunity to expand their family, but doing so will not be of great benefit to the Haechi Kingdom. The stronger the three imperial families are, the more powerful the Haechi Kingdom will be." It’s difficult to control, does the king really believe that they will never betray?”
Hao Ruoyan shook his head, "It's hard to guess. The three families are very loyal, but they have never had such a large territory. No one is sure whether the three families will remain loyal after acquiring such a realm. Moreover, there are only so many people in the Haezhi tribe. It’s also difficult to manage.”
"Then why is the leader of the country?"
Zhou Shu said slowly, "There are only so many Haezhi tribes in the Haezhi Kingdom. They don't need the resources of thousands of realms. With the Star Sea Realm, it is actually perfect. If you want to go outside, you can only try to figure it out slowly and wait for the population." Let’s talk about it after we go up, and it is very difficult to occupy a large amount of territory quickly like this. When the time comes, it will still be someone else’s, which is a waste of resources.”
