Jiayou's Fun

Qingyun Country, a million miles to the south.

Yan Dynasty, the imperial capital, Hellfire City.

The red walls, red tiles, and even the ground are paved with red glazed tiles. At a glance, the Yanchao Imperial City looks like a sea of ​​fire. In the deep palace, on the 300-foot-high sky fire platform, Yanchao Emperor Huo Yu is holding his breath. Concentrate, use the smallest bird-hair brush to carefully outline a very neat meticulous painting.

Following Huo Yu's movements, the air on the huge sky fire platform was distorted and everything floated. The robes of the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting in the distance moved automatically without the wind. The cheek muscles of many people were distorted and convex by invisible forces. .

Many palace maids and eunuchs had to gather their magic power and secretly cast spells to restrain themselves, so that they could barely stand firm under the endless pressure from all around, so as not to make any strange movements and disturb Huo Yu.

Only a few old eunuchs with extremely advanced cultivation and reaching the perfection state of planting golden lotus could stand by Huo Yu's side as if nothing had happened, complimenting Huo Yu's improvement in his painting skills with a smile on his face.

Huo Yu seemed not to have heard the compliments he paid to his close confidants, the old eunuchs.

His face was cold and solemn, and the slender brush in his hand was meticulous every stroke, but his heart was like a turmoil, and he was very noisy.

He has suppressed his own realm for three hundred years!

Three hundred years ago, he reached the ultimate perfection of planting golden lotus.

However, according to the ancestral teachings of the Yan Dynasty, this is even an unspoken rule common in several surrounding dynasties - once the reigning emperor breaks through the realm of planting golden lotus and breaks through to the realm of 'opening golden lotus', he must abdicate in favor of others and then devote himself to pure cultivation!

But... after tasting the sweet fragrance of power, which reigning emperor is willing to give up power and abdicate obediently?

It's still a 'but', if you don't abdicate, those old guys in the clan, especially those fathers, grandfathers, great-grandfathers, etc. who have stepped down before, may they let you go?

So... Huo Yu started to suppress his cultivation three hundred years ago. For three hundred years, his cultivation has been stagnant. For three hundred years, he didn't even take a pill or drink a bowl of spiritual tea. , not even a single spiritual rice was eaten.

For three hundred years, he was just like the most ordinary people, drinking the most ordinary spring water, drinking the most ordinary tea, and eating the most ordinary fruits and vegetables.

Even when he doted on his concubines, he didn't dare to look for concubines who had some cultivation skills - for fear that some concubine would be 'rebellious' and force him to use the art of Yin and Yang harmony, input some cultivation skills into him, and force him to do so. Break the situation.

Rao is so cautious and careful, careful and cautious. In three hundred years, he has suppressed it to the extreme and has reached the point where he has to break through. If he continues to suppress it, it will cause great harm to the soul and the body.

In three more years at most, I will have to abdicate!

The lotus seeds of the Great Dao in the body have been broken into pieces, and the Dao Rhythm of the penance has filled the whole body. It may break through the blockade of the body at any time, linger and evolve with the Dao Rhythm of heaven and earth in the outside world, and then break through the realm.

Therefore, Huo Yu's every move now will cause strange phenomena in the world around him.

I can't suppress it anymore!

Those treacherous sons have been jumping around a lot recently. Huo Yu carefully sketched a butterfly and said calmly: We can't let them be so happy... cause them some trouble... I worked hard to win the battle back then. After defeating those brothers, it was so easy for them to ascend to the throne, why are they so easy?

Whether it's the family behind them, the sect, or any other random person... without any blood or flesh, hehe, don't even think about getting past my hands so peacefully.

Huo Yu glanced sideways at a few old eunuchs who were his confidants: It's up to you how many benefits can be extorted from this... You are all old men who have been with me for so many years. When you were in office, you were very good. , everyone provides for you, if you want anything, you will get it!

But when we are no longer in office, we will rely on the dead resources allocated by the clan every year... Haha, what is the difference between being a beggar?

So, be ruthless and black-hearted, and don't be merciful just because they are my sons...

Huo Yu said calmly: Don't give me face, don't be like my great-grandfather. Everyone calls him 'benevolent'. Haha, benevolent to this day, he reaches out to his children and grandchildren every year to cause famine... Are you kidding me?

The eyes of the several old eunuchs flashed coldly, and they looked at each other quickly.

You have to be ruthless, you have to be ruthless... You might as well find a few suitable ones to operate on and flatten all nine of their clans... Speaking of which, in our Yan Dynasty, you can figure out which wealthy families are the richest now.

I can still support it for about three years... In three years, you see, I can wipe out a few, which is the best.

Also, in the past three years, the resources in the national treasury and the clan's public treasury... you can use as much ink as you can. In the past three hundred years, you have been too cautious in your actions.

You can be a little bolder...you can take a wider step...you can start a little darker and a little harder!

In order to make our life easier in the future, we should make more money, even if the means are despicable...not shabby.

Huo Yu gave a serious lesson to several old eunuchs.

The old eunuchs nodded desperately, like vicious dogs that had been hungry for several days and couldn't wait to bite.

Light footsteps sounded, and a red-robed eunuch between old and middle-aged walked in quietly, holding a thin scroll in both hands. Still more than ten feet away from Huo Yu's painting desk, the eunuch had already knelt down and said, Your Majesty, the news from Qingluo Immortal City...

Huo Yu was stunned for a moment, put down his brush, and pointed towards the scroll in the eunuch's hand.

The scroll, which was more than a foot long and as thick as a finger, suddenly emitted immeasurable light. It unfolded with a 'clatter' movement and turned into a giant banner that was three feet wide and hundreds of feet long, spinning rapidly around the Sky Fire Tower.

Countless cyan words spurted out from the banners, and each word shone with a strange light.

A deep and powerful voice came from the clear light in the sky: A hundred years of tribute, five years in advance. You vassal countries, prepare quickly and don't miss the deadline.

Huo Yu's expression suddenly changed slightly.

Just as the Qingyun Kingdom was a vassal of the Yan Dynasty, the Yan Dynasty was also a vassal of the more powerful 'Immortal Dynasty' Yunluo Ancient Kingdom.

Qingyun State must pay tribute to Yan Dynasty every ten years.

Similarly, every hundred years, the Yan Dynasty would also pay tribute to the Yunluo Ancient Kingdom with countless rare treasures and countless cultivation resources. Even fine wines, delicacies, top-quality stoves, etc. also need to be prepared in countless quantities.

In particular, every time he paid tribute, the emperor of the Yan Dynasty had to go to Qingluo Immortal City in person.

In the Qingluo Immortal City, the emperor of the Yan Dynasty also knelt down and saluted the emperor of the Yunluo Ancient Kingdom like a minister. Even an ordinary minister of the Yunluo Ancient Kingdom could show off his power in front of the emperor of the Yan Dynasty and cause trouble for them.

Huo Yu thought that there were still five years left for the centenary tribute, and by then he would have abdicated in favor of others, and that this tribute would have nothing to do with him. However, Yunluo Ancient Kingdom did not follow royal principles and actually advanced the time. ?

His eyes flickered with a faint light, and he quickly scanned the cyan words flying in the sky.

Huo Yu frowned.

All along, the major vassal states have prepared their own tributes and tributes to the Yunluo Ancient Kingdom. Anyway, no one dares to fool Yunluo Ancient Kingdom. All the tributes are naturally of first-class quality, and the total amount is also an astronomical figure.

But this time, the tribute was not only advanced, but also a list was directly sent to Luo Gu, asking Yan Chao to prepare according to the resources listed on the list.

Those extravagant and fun things are gone.

All the fine wines and delicacies, rare silks and satins, all kinds of beauties, all kinds of handsome boys, etc. were all gone.

Instead, there are various cultivation resources.

Especially the amount of rare metal ores that could be used to forge magical weapons made Huo Yu's heart bleed.

Yanchao specializes in more than a dozen kinds of rare fire-attributed metal minerals, which can be used to forge various giant war weapons, especially some terrifying war tools with the power to destroy heaven and earth. They must be forged with these fire-attributed metal minerals. The energy core within it.

Among the list sent by Yunluo Ancient Kingdom, the name of the fire-attributed metal mineral in this market was at the top of the list.

The quantity marked on the back almost made Huo Yu vomit blood.

What is this for? This mysterious pattern of earth-fire gold can be used to forge acquired spiritual weapons, but it has to be extracted from the earth-fire ore veins. Our Yan Dynasty only produces one million kilograms per year, but here we are actually asked to pay a tribute of one million kilograms. Thirty million catties?”

One hundred and thirty million jins, what is this for? What is it for?

Xuanwen Earth Fire Gold, an ordinary magic weapon, as long as three coins are mixed in, it can make this ordinary magic weapon contain lava and earth fire, and the lethality is increased by more than ten times... 130 million kilograms, this, this …”

Huo Yu looked at the list with a gloomy face: How much Xuan Wen Earth Fire Gold is there in the treasury?

An old eunuch thought for a moment and said in a low voice: It's almost the same. Is this how much I have saved over the years? Your Majesty, you mean...

Huo Yu licked the corner of his mouth and cursed in a low voice: It's not important... Of course we know that Yan Chao has the eyes and ears of the Yunluo Ancient Kingdom up and down the court... But after touching our inventory so clearly, holding this Numbers make a list for us... This is too much, it’s too ungrateful, why don’t you worry a little bit about your dignity!”

As the suzerain country, it sent spies to find out the family background of the vassal country, and then directly opened the door and asked the vassal country to donate the property of the left and right... Even if it was a robbery, it would not be done like this!

Really, not particular about it!

But... Huo Yu narrowed his eyes: Yunluo Ancient Kingdom is the most particular among the surrounding immortal dynasties. It is the most particular about clothes and etiquette... This time it is suddenly so careless... Hiss, something is wrong. , there is something wrong with the things on this list...

Is this going to... start a war?

Huo Yu's face turned pale: This is going to start a war!

With whom? With whom? Huo Yu hissed: It is just an ordinary thing for us vassal countries to fight each other, killing and injuring three to five billion people.

Yunluo Ancient Country is preparing for war!

It, who does it want to go to war with? Which immortal dynasty?

A group of old eunuchs turned pale with fright.

The ancient Yunluo country was such a behemoth. If it was preparing for war, then once a war broke out, Yan Chao, a vassal country, would be nothing more than cannon fodder and might be in danger of destruction at any time.

Recall the nine generals of the Nine Military Mansion to return to Hellfire City...quickly!
