Yang Realm, High Heaven.
With Zhong Shan's return, he naturally summoned all the officials for another court meeting!
In the Longevity Hall, Zhong Shan was dressed in his imperial robe and looked down at the officials. The officials stood respectfully. Zhao Suxiang stepped forward.
"Holy King, in the past few years, the four neighboring dynasties have sent troops to provoke the Daikon State. I request to be sent to trample them!" Zhao Suxiang said solemnly.
"Holy King, the Daikon State already has enough troops. Moreover, the Holy King has recruited a large number of Gu Xian. We have enough generals to deal with the four neighboring dynasties. I agree with General Zhao's suggestion!" Another elder of the Daikon State said.
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
In an instant, eighteen bellicose officials requested to be sent to battle.
Everyone looked at Zhong Shan who was sitting on the dragon throne.
Zhong Shan lightly tapped the armrest of the dragon throne. The hall instantly fell silent, waiting for Zhong Shan's decision.
After some thought, Zhong Shan said calmly, "It's not enough."
It's not enough? Zhao Suxiang looked up. The Daikon State's military strength is more than enough to destroy the four neighboring dynasties. The Holy King has even brought a large number of Gu Xian. The battle is practically in the bag. What's not enough?
Zhao Suxiang was about to step forward when Yi Yan suddenly stepped forward.
"General Zhao!" Yi Yan called out.
"Hmm?" Zhao Suxiang looked at Yi Yan in confusion.
Zhao Suxiang's strategy might not be as good as Yi Yan's, but his heart was burning with passion for the Daikon State. Therefore, he requested to be sent to battle from the Daikon State's perspective.
Therefore, even though Yi Yan and the others had their own opinions, they didn't say anything and waited for the Holy King to make a decision. Since the Holy King had made a decision, Yi Yan naturally had to stand up.
"The Holy King is right, our military strength is not enough! We need more! "said Yi Yan with a smile.
"Not enough troops? How is it not enough? "Zhao Suxiang did not understand.
"General Zhao only sees the four neighboring dynasties. Have you seen anything further than that? My Daikon State doesn't only want these four neighboring dynasties. "Yi Yan said.
Zhao Suxiang's eyes lit up, and he understood. The Holy King did not mean that they did not have enough troops to deal with the four neighboring dynasties, but the entire North Continent? The Holy King wanted to swallow the entire North Continent? This, this … Zhao Suxiang was speechless.
"Moreover, the newly recruited experts of the Daikon State also need to familiarize themselves with the army." Yi Yan explained.
Indeed, many people in the army would not be convinced if he became a general as soon as he arrived.
"Moreover, not all the experts of my Daikon State have returned. When the time is right, it won't be too late to send troops to attack the four directions!" Yi Yan said.
Gu Xian had returned, but there were more great immortals who were still on the way. Therefore, it was best to continue waiting.
"Yes, I was not considerate enough!" Zhao Suxiang nodded slightly.
"Zhao Suxiang!" Zhong Shan said calmly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Suxiang immediately looked at Zhong Shan.
"Although you were not considerate enough, your dedication to the Daikon State is commendable. Bestow one Zu Xian Pill, two Ginseng Fruits, and twenty Gu Xian Pills!" Zhong Shan said calmly.
"Huh?" Zhao Suoxiang suddenly revealed a surprised expression.
Not only Zhao Suxiang, but many other officials were also surprised. How could this be?
Zhao Suxiang had only made a suggestion that was rejected, but he was rewarded with a Zu Xian Pill? That was a Zu Xian Pill! How could there be such a good thing? Wasn't that just a suggestion that was rejected? And Ginseng Fruits!
"Thank you, Holy King!" Zhao Suxiang said immediately.
Even though Zhao Suoxiang was ashamed and didn't dare to accept it, he still braced himself and accepted it.
Many officials looked at Zhao Suxiang enviously.
Zhong Shan smiled faintly in satisfaction. Rewarding Zhao Zuoxiang was not because of his rejected suggestion, but because it was for the officials to see, and also for the Great Qin Empire to see.
Soon, the Daikon State would go to war. Zhong Shan wanted to cultivate a fighting spirit. The fighting spirit of the Daikon State's officials, the fighting spirit of the Daikon State's army, and the fighting spirit of the Daikon State's people.
It was fine if they didn't fight, but once they did, they would definitely shake the world!
"Of course, we can't ignore the provocations of the four neighboring dynasties. Yi Yan, tell me about the four neighboring dynasties!" Zhong Shan said again.
"Yes, Holy King. Actually, the four neighboring dynasties are nothing. They are provoking us because they are afraid of our Daikon State. The battle in the High Heaven back then made them fearful, which is why they are provoking us. Maybe other than the four neighboring dynasties, there are a few other dynasties that have allied with us. They don't dare to come to our Daikon State, they just want to draw our troops away. Because they are afraid! "Yi Yan smiled.
"Then how should we deal with them?" Zhong Shan asked.
"Since they are afraid, it is impossible for everyone to have the attitude of mutual destruction! I feel that we should send envoys to the various dynasties. On one hand, it is to build friendships. On the other hand, we should try our best to break their alliance. Show the might of our Holy Court! "Yi Yan said.
"Yes, Shen Gongbao!" Zhong Shan ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Shen Gongbao replied immediately.
"You will be the envoy. Bring the might of our Daikon State and visit the various dynasties!" Zhong Shan ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Shen Gongbao replied.
High Heaven, Zi Yang Jinghong's residence.
Zhong Shan had just returned and naturally had many things to settle. As for the mysterious Life Usurper, he could only stay in the High Heaven for the time being.
According to the original agreement, Zi Yang Jinghong would leave the Daikon State after returning from the East Continent. He would no longer participate in the affairs of the dynasty and return to his family.
However, for some reason, even though Zi Yang Jinghong himself didn't understand, he decided to stay.
Of course, not bidding farewell to Zhong Shan was one reason. The bigger reason was that Zi Yang Jinghong still had many things that he hadn't thought through clearly. This was because this trip to the East Continent had shocked Zi Yang Jinghong too much.
The world was in chaos. The East Continent was just the beginning. Before it reached the climax, it had already become so shocking. Next, the East Continent would be even more chaotic. The North Continent wouldn't be able to escape this fate.
Sooner or later, the North Continent would also be in chaos. This was the trend of the times and couldn't be changed. At least, the officials of the Daikon State had explained everything.
What would the future of the Zi Yang family be like?
Zi Yang Jinghong was deep in thought in the courtyard of his residence.
"Sir!" At this moment, a servant walked in.
"Hmm?" Zi Yang Jinghong frowned. Obviously, he didn't like to be disturbed when he was deep in thought.
"Sir, someone called Zi Yang Jinghong wants to see you. He said that he's your family. I didn't dare to neglect him so I disturbed you. Sir, please don't blame me!" The servant said.
"Oh? Jinghong? Let him in! "Zi Yang Jinghong said.
"Yes!"
The servant left. Soon, another person wrapped in a black robe walked in. This time, the servant didn't follow him in. The person in the black robe was completely wrapped. His face and figure couldn't be seen.
"Grandfather!" The servant immediately called out.
"Jinghong? Why are you dressed like this? "Zi Yang Jinghong frowned.
In Zi Yang Jinghong's eyes, he had done a lot for the Daikon State. His grandson could have come to the Daikon State openly. Why was he hiding?
"Grandfather, something happened at home!" Zi Yang Jinghong said immediately.
"Something happened? What happened! "Zi Yang Jinghong was shocked and immediately stood up.
In this kind of family, the descendants of the family were very important.
"Grandfather, don't worry. It's not what you think. The family is fine!" Zi Yang Jinghong said immediately.
"Oh? What happened? "Zi Yang Jinghong was slightly surprised.
"Grandfather, you went to the East Continent with Zhong Shan. During this time, the family's Life Usurping Tower was successfully reactivated. A total of nine family ancestors were revived because of the Life Usurping Tower! "Zi Yang Jinghong said.
"Oh, that's a good thing. The Life Usurping Tower left by our ancestors is the foundation of our family. Now that the Life Usurping Tower has been restored, congratulations! "Zi Yang Jinghong nodded.
"But, besides the nine family ancestors, there's a tenth person." Zi Yang Jinghong frowned.
"A tenth person?"
"Yes, and this tenth person is not from our family!" Zi Yang Jinghong said.
Zi Yang Jinghong, "…!"
"Then, here's the problem. This person's identity is very special." Zi Yang Jinghong said.
"What's so special about him?"
"This person is our ancestor's disciple." Zi Yang Jinghong said.
"Ancestor? Which ancestor? "Zi Yang Jinghong's face darkened.
"It's the previous Sage, the ancestor who founded our family, Kui, Zi Yang Kui!" Zi Yang Jinghong frowned.
"Disciple of another generation? The ancestor left a rule that his disciple has the same status as the family head. "Zi Yang Jinghong thought for a while and said.
"Yes, his status is the same as the family head. Also, not long after he was reborn, do you know what his first order was?" Zi Yang Jinghong said bitterly.
"What?"
"Join the Yun Dynasty!"
"Oh?" Zi Yang Jinghong's face changed.
The Zi Yang family's ancestral rule was not to participate in the affairs of the Yun Dynasty. This ancestor's disciple had the same status as the family head, and the first thing he did after being reborn was to overturn the ancestral rule?
A trace of displeasure appeared on Zi Yang Jinghong's face. Obviously, most people in the Zi Yang family would not like it.
"His status is the same as the family head. As long as the family head is not willing, we can naturally only follow the family head's wishes. However, the nine ancestors who were reborn with him actually agreed!" Zi Yang Jinghong said.
"They also agreed?"
"Yes, that's right. There was a huge disagreement in the family, forming two factions. Of course, it's still considered harmonious, but they kept persuading each other." Zi Yang Jinghong said.
Zi Yang Jinghong fell silent.
"Grandfather, this is the family's ancestral rule. How can we go against it? Moreover, maintaining neutrality is the foundation of our family. Once the principle is violated, our family will be in danger. Grandfather, other than those who were reborn, you have the highest seniority in the family. You have to take charge of the situation! "Zi Yang Jinghong said worriedly.
After a moment of silence, Zi Yang Jinghong frowned and said, "Which Yun Dynasty does he want to join?"
"Which one? It's this Daikon State's Holy Court. The situation is very awkward now, so I tried my best to avoid everyone here. Grandfather, please go home and take charge of the situation! "Zi Yang Jinghong said immediately.
"He wants to lead the Zi Yang family to join the Daikon State's Holy Court?" Zi Yang Jinghong's eyes narrowed.
