Chang 'an, the main city of the Tang Empire.
At the dimensional portal in the south of the city, a muscular man in black stepped out of the portal amidst the flickering light.
"Hello … is there anyone here?" The muscular man in black asked in a deep voice.
"Coming! … Who are you? Tell me your name! "
The two evolvers who were in charge of guarding the portal ran over from the side of the house while holding up their pants.
The muscular man in black took out a jade token and said, "My name is Qiu Zhenli. This jade token was given to me by someone called Xin Feng. It's said to be a keepsake for your place. "
"It seems to be a keepsake for the natives of the Spiritual Realm …"
One of the guards wrote down the name of the man in black after appraising it. "Okay, this is a keepsake. You are a member of the Tang Empire from now on. Are you here to seek refuge with His Highness Li Feng? Then you must need more common knowledge about the survival of the Tang Empire. Hehe, you only need to pay 200 Spirit Crystals for the consultation fee. "
Qiu Zhenli didn't get angry, and he tossed out a small pouch with a wave of his hand. He said with interest, "Then tell me."
"Oh, you are a rich man."
The two guards were energized. After each of them received a hundred Spirit Crystals, they explained to Qiu Zhenli in detail about some of the 'ways to survive' in the Great Tang Territory.
Qiu Zhenli listened quietly. From the description of the two guards, he gradually understood the situation of the Tang Empire, including both positive and negative information. This was something that Xin Feng did not tell him. Qiu Zhenli felt that it was worth it to pay 200 Spirit Crystals to get it.
"The Emperor is the most powerful person in the territory … The Grand Tutor is very trusted. He can use Spirit Crystals or territorial contributions to open the way … Offering rare treasures to the Emperor can be rewarded with an official position … You have to use money to open the way in every organization?"
Qiu Zhenli could not help but smile. "It is really a good territory. It is similar to the Great Song Empire four years ago … It is the ideal partner of the Saint."
Of course, he was talking to himself. He did not say it out loud for the two guards to know.
After listening to the introduction, Qiu Zhenli coughed and said, "Okay, bring me to see your Emperor."
"Is the Emperor someone you can meet whenever you want? Don't joke around. "The guard obviously didn't believe him.
Qiu Zhenli took out another token with a golden dragon carved on it and said, "Xin Feng said that this is a token personally bestowed by the Emperor. As long as I show this token, I will be able to see the Emperor."
The two guards were shocked.
"You're here to see His Majesty, not His Highness Li Feng?"
"You, you, you … You should've said so earlier!"
The two guards returned the spirit crystals to Qiu Zhenli with a pained expression.
Qiu Zhenli took the Spirit Crystal and said with a smile, "Can you bring me over now?"
The two guards sighed inwardly. One of them curled his lips and led Qiu Zhenli through the streets of Chang 'an toward the Central Palace.
Qiu Zhenli was also observing carefully along the way. In his vision, he saw that the streets of Chang 'an were wide and spacious, with tall gates and courtyards everywhere. The pedestrians were all well-dressed, and there was not even a beggar. Even the trees beside the road were wrapped in silk and satin, which was extremely luxurious.
Qiu Zhenli couldn't help but frown as he asked, "The Great Tang's territory has actually flourished to such an extent?"
However, the guard was obviously unwilling to tell him the truth. He mumbled a few words and muddled his way through.
…
The main city of Chang 'an, the main hall of the Imperial Palace.
It was still the memorial of 'Emperor' Taizong and 'State Preceptor' Fu Jing.
"Your Majesty, you've already talked with that Lord Lu Wang, right? What's the result? "Fu Jing asked.
Taizong said, "Hmph, how much knowledge can a newly promoted lord have? He really doesn't seem to know anything about the Resentment Banner. He even proposed to use the rules of the Spiritual Realm to prove his innocence … Haha. "
Fu Jing shook his head and said, "In the world of evolvers, the rules of the Spiritual Realm are unable to be notarized … It's different from the world of awakened ones. However, Lord Lu Wang probably doesn't know about this yet. Since he dares to propose a notarization, it means that the matter of the Resentment Banner really has nothing to do with him. "
Taizong sneered. "Regardless of whether the Resentment Banner has anything to do with him or not, I've got him for sure. A newly promoted territory that's so close to our Great Tang territory, isn't it meat that's already in our mouths? "
Fu Jing said, "How's Lu Wang's attitude?"
Taizong smiled. "He's still quite sensible. He's afraid of the Great Tang territory's troops. I proposed to send an advisory group and an exploration team, but he didn't dare to refuse. He said that he needed to think about it for a while. "
Fu Jing said, "Isn't this a delaying tactic?"
Taizong sneered. "I only gave him a week's time. After a week, if he doesn't give me a satisfactory answer, I'll immediately start scanning the universe to find the coordinates of the Xijiang territory. "
Fu Jing said, "Your Majesty, why don't you make two preparations and start scanning the Xijiang territory now?"
Taizong shook his head and said, "There's no need to do this kind of useless work. After a week, Lu Wang will naturally hand over the coordinates of the Xijiang territory with both hands. If we rely on ourselves to find the coordinates within a range of 30 million kilometers, we need to find at least two suitable meteorites as transit stations … First of all, it will take a long time. If we're unlucky, we may not be able to find such a star even after a few months. Secondly, the number of spirit crystals required to build a transit station is too large. "
Fu Jing had long figured out Taizong's temperament. He would never be a minister who would disobey his words. He immediately nodded and praised, "With Your Majesty's prestige, Lu Wang will definitely obediently hand over the coordinates of the territory."
Taizong chuckled and immediately changed the topic. "Let's not talk about the Xijiang territory for the time being. Although Li Feng failed and disappointed me, we still have to find a way to continue our layout in the Shao Wei territory. Otherwise, all the previous investments will be in vain. "
Fu Jing said, "Our original plan was that after the Black Sky Cult broke through the Shangqing school, Li Feng would retrieve the 12 Resentment Flags and bring them back to the territory. At the same time, we would establish a strategic cooperation relationship with the Black Sky Cult. The key now is that Li Feng returned in defeat. We don't know the situation in the Shao Wei territory, especially the information about who won and who lost between the Shangqing school and the Black Sky Cult. We can only send people to the Shao Wei territory to clean up the mess. "
"Who can take on this responsibility?" Taizong asked.
Fu Jing bowed his head and said nothing.
"Alas, our great Tang Empire has actually withered in talents. There isn't even a useful junior." Taizong shook his head.
Fu Jing secretly thought, Isn't it because you're fond of grandiose achievements? You've ascended the throne and forced the evolvers to kowtow to you? The evolvers with a bit of backbone have already left. It's easy to imagine what kind of trash the remaining ones are … Oh, I accidentally got myself involved. I'm the only exception. I've long reached a realm where I'm not bothered by external objects and am not shocked by honor or disgrace. I only look at practical benefits. What's a mere kowtow? Give me enough benefits and I'll even call you father.
While the monarch and his minister were discussing, a guard suddenly came to report that there was a native expert of the Spirit Realm with a Golden Dragon Token requesting an audience.
