Chapter 584
In short, for Zhang Cheng, this level has been passed for the time being.

It is actually illegal for Xu Nan to be a "doctor of the border city", because the border city itself is not his legal territory, and you can't use territories that don't belong to you to entrust your subjects.But since Zhou Tianzi admitted it afterwards, the issue of legitimacy is resolved.

Zhou Tianzi did not immediately deny the legitimacy of Zhang Cheng's "Border City Doctor", and it will be difficult to use this excuse to deny Zhang Cheng's identity after that day.That is to say, from this moment on, it is basically determined that the identity of Emperor Zhang Chengtu is no problem.

"Is there anything else?" Zhang Cheng asked.

"The Son of Heaven knows that the border city has been harassed by dog ​​soldiers," Gong Hui said. "Therefore, this year's tribute will be exempted."

One of the duties of a true feudal lord is to provide tribute.That is to say, regardless of the princes or vassals, as long as they are the lords who "crack the soil and receive the title", they must pay tribute and money to the lord.Tribute is the specialty of the main territory.For example, the tribute of the state of Chu is the white grass used to filter the liquor.Another example is that the tribute of the frontier doctor is a horse.But the tribute is actually secondary, the main thing is money.

Of course, the commodity economy in this world is not as developed as that of the earth, but the situation of "the army has no wealth, and the soldiers do not come" has long existed.At least now that the enthronement sacrifice ceremony has just been held, the poor clanging Emperor Zhou must need money.

Whether it is for the emperor's style in front of him, for rewarding his loyal subordinates, for future wars, or for future competition with Zhou Xiewang, money is an important resource.

So this is also a political signal released by Zhou Tianzi.Anyway, half a year has passed this year, so forget it.But starting next year, the past tribute will be restored.

So the doctor of the border town had to face a brand new question: Is he, the doctor of the border town, Xu Nan's vassal?Or the vassals of Emperor Zhou?Maybe it's both, maybe it's neither.But it is very likely that two tributes will be paid in the future.

And there are more troublesome things to consider: for example, Zhou Tianzi is short of money now.If you pay more tribute, you may get some additional benefits. For example, if you get the "axe", you will have the independent right to start a war and try to expand your territory.Or, like the future Qin State, be canonized as a prince or something.But if too much is given, it may arouse Zhou Tianzi's greed.After all, the emperor is short of money.Zhou Tianzi looked at himself, a rich and stupid border town doctor, would he have the idea of ​​"I'm sorry for myself if I don't squeeze too much".

There are also diplomatic issues.To be honest, Zhang Cheng doesn't know if there is such a "Kunwu City" in the history of the earth, but if there is, then the final consequence of the small territory of Kunwu City and the border city is likely to be annexed by Chu State.

Although the Kunwu family has the same surname as the Chu royal family, they are all descended from Zhu Rong, so they can be regarded as relatives.But who is Chu Guo?That's a shameless bastard who openly declares "I'm a barbarian", who only cares about actual profit and doesn't pay attention to fame.If the state of Chu ends its war against the barbarians and turns around to attack Kunwu City and the border towns... Well, Zhang Cheng thinks it will be difficult to survive on his own.

In short, the lord Zhang Cheng may not be in great danger, but there are definitely many troublesome things.

"I see, you step back first." Zhang Cheng said. "I'm tired from the long journey, so go rest for a few days first."

Respectfully salute and leave.Zhang Chengping stepped back and stood alone in the empty hall.If it is another person, it should be regarded as the winner of life in this world, right?But things are different now.He is now standing in a higher position, or he thinks he is in a higher position.

Because he is now a chess player, at least half a chess player, stepping into this war of planes that is beyond the world and even above the gods.

From this point of view, although the position of doctor in the border city is quite good, even if it is lost, it is not worth a pity.

Zhang Cheng slowly pulled out a card "Young Bai Ze" from his arms.

"Young Bai Ze: Although it looks weak and harmless, it is definitely one of the most powerful existences in all worlds. Through a special way, Bai Ze can understand all the information of a world, it is almost Omniscient. As long as it wants, it can know anything. This is actually stealing the authority of the god above the gods. In fact, the existence of this kind of creature itself is a blasphemy against the master of the plane. It is hard to imagine that the master of the plane would allow it Its appearance. This creature is so rare that its birth is almost a miracle. This Bai Ze is only a larva, but its strength is not fundamentally different from that of an adult. Cost: 1 at will, attack 0 (bite), Life 1 (normal), trait; legendary creature (?), moderate intelligence, son of the profane"

And below these words, there is a line of small characters. "The planeswalker must use its power carefully. The existence of Bai Ze itself is a provocation to the lord of the plane. Its appearance will greatly increase the hostility of the lord of the plane to the planeswalker."

Out of all the cards, this is the only creature card with such a high rating.The only card comparable to Bai Ze is the "Blood Curse", which is the only card that can affect the lord of the plane.

It is precisely because of the description of this card that Zhang Cheng dare not casually summon Bai Ze on the earth - who can tell clearly what will happen after Bai Ze is summoned?Wouldn't it be possible for Gaia to chop the planeswalker with a thunderbolt?
Nuan Yangyang appeared in front of Zhang Cheng.It raised its head and shook its head at Zhang Cheng. "Mage, what are you looking for me for?"

Warm Sheep's voice has always been very blunt and full of provocation.But Zhang Cheng still picked it up.

"According to the rules, you can ask three questions for today's portion."

"I don't have any questions to ask right now," Zhang Cheng said. "But I have some grapes here, do you want to eat them? It's very sweet. This is a variety that doesn't exist in this world."

He casually gestured to the sunshine rose in his hand.This thing used to be among the "luxury fruits". Although the price has dropped sharply and it is everywhere, it is indeed a very sweet grape.

Zhang Cheng now clearly feels that Nuan Yangyang is like a child and must follow it in everything.It's a pity that this product can also read minds, so it's too easy to be seen through.In the end, Zhang Cheng decided to treat it sincerely in exchange for its service.

"I know you want to curry favor with me, but I tell you it's useless." Nuan Yangyang raised her nose arrogantly, dismissively.

"It's really sweet and delicious, I guess you'll like it. And it's free - really don't want it?"

"Okay..." Bai Ze hesitated.It clearly read Zhang Cheng's heart, so he knew that this grape was really sweet.It opened its mouth to take the grapes from Zhang Cheng's hand, and began to eat them.

A bunch of grapes fell down quickly, and Bai Ze started lying there, eyes closed, chewing and eating the second bunch of grapes slowly.

"Mage Planes, what do you want to do now?" Nuan Yangyang asked seemingly casually.

"No, I didn't think about anything." Zhang Cheng replied.He really didn't think about anything, very Buddhist.Since the last face-to-face communication with Haotian in order to distort the priesthood, Zhang Cheng has completely figured it out.Ma Dan, it turns out that his every move here is under Haotian's sight.That being the case, he felt that he should, um, wait and see for the time being, and think about it more, instead of acting blindly like in the past.

Let's wait until he makes up his mind to do things like playing cards.Otherwise, it is not a good thing to anger Haotian.

For the time being, Zhang Cheng didn't want to leave the earth and this world.There are many cards in this world, and Earth is his hometown after all.

"Don't you want to get some more cards?" Bai Ze asked. "A relatively strong card."

"Where can I get it?" Zhang Cheng is still a little interested in this question.

"The easiest thing is, um, Yin Ruins." Nuan Yangyang said. "There is an Emperor Spirit over there."

"Didn't it mean that the emperor spirit had already been killed by King Wu of Zhou?" Zhang Cheng asked curiously.In this matter, the yellow bear used to be a melon eater.So it is very clear to see the whole process of the battle.In this world, there has been a magical version of the Battle of Muye, and in this battle, with the deliberate help of the gods (according to Xiaoxiong, this is almost no different from the gods going to the battle in person), the people who protected the Yin and Shang Dynasty More than ten emperor spirits were killed by King Wu.And after this battle that surpasses human beings is over, there will be no suspense in the battle in the material world, the so-called "violent attack on big businessmen".

Regardless of whether what Xiaoxiong said was exaggerated or not, many emperor spirits who blessed the Yin and Shang Dynasty must have been destroyed.Because later, the remaining power of the Yin and Shang parties could no longer stir up any splashes.Even after instigating the "Three Supervisors", he was still defeated by the Zhou family in one fell swoop.

"Of course all those who went to the battlefield were killed, but the ones that didn't go to the battlefield were different, and a half-finished product was left behind. In fact, King Wu had no selfish intentions, but his subordinates were very envious of the emperor spirit who protected the dynasty. So they kept it a secret This semi-finished emperor spirit managed to avoid the sight of the gods. It was okay, but the semi-finished product is a semi-finished product. Anyway, Yin Shang has completely perished, and there will be no new emperor spirit. This semi-finished product stays in the corner and molds itself. That's enough." Nuan Yangyang said while chewing grapes. "But then King Zhou Xuan... You know, King Zhou You's father, his head was flooded, and he was desperate to rejuvenate the Zhou family's rule, and he fantasized about using the power of the emperor's spirit to maintain the long-term stability of the dynasty. I don't even think about the Zhou family. Why do you want to seize the throne of the Son of Heaven? This is a betrayal of the gods. You will understand from now on. The current situation is the one that King Zhou Xuan found for himself. When Heng'e attacked the Zhou family, he got the unanimous consent of almost all the gods The acquiescence is not without reason."

"That is to say... the Emperor Spirit is still there?"

"Well, it should be said that this Emperor Spirit is Du Bo. Du Bo was sent to the Yin Ruins to study the Emperor Spirit, and he developed a spell to replace the semi-finished Emperor Spirit with his own will. The original purpose was to allow King Xuan of Zhou to regain consciousness after his death. Unknowingly snatching away the Emperor's spirit, but unfortunately things went wrong. The gods blamed him, especially after experiencing the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Thousand Mu, King Xuan of Zhou had to execute Du Bo as a scapegoat in a hurry. How could things be so simple ?The ambition of the Zhou family has greatly offended the gods. The gods in turn used Du Bo who died unjustly. Du Bo, who was executed, seized the emperor's spirit, and used the power of the emperor's spirit to revenge and kill King Xuan of Zhou. But In this way, he also exhausted his last strength and had to fall into a deep sleep. That is to say," Bai Ze said. "If you pass by now, the remaining defensive power over there will not be able to stop you at all, and there will be no danger if you are a little careful. Not to mention that you have the help of the twisted god, so even if the gods intervene, they will not be able to stop you. Of course, If the gods know about this, let alone stop them, they will probably be very happy to give you a pass so that you can take the emperor spirit away, because they also despise the emperor spirit to get in the way. There should be no emperor spirit in this world .Similarly, Di Ling himself is willing to go with you. Because this world can't tolerate it anymore."

This is really good news... Zhang Cheng thought to himself.The small profit is huge, but the question is... Will Haotian allow it?

"There are other things besides that." Bai Ze said again. "For example, the yellow bear can split into another incarnation. As long as you pay enough, you can trade with the yellow bear. This is a matter of bargaining. And the advantage is that this does not require you to pay anything. "

"Huh? I don't understand what that means."

"Then let me explain to you why Ao Guang is a god." Bai Ze seemed to be sneering, but of course the sneering didn't affect it from continuing to eat grapes. "The priesthood of 'marine life' that Ao Guang desires is not within the normal allowable range at all. Haotian will not grant this priesthood to anyone. That is to say, if you rely on yourself to make it normally, it will always be only a semi-clergymanship. ...like the priesthood of the 'beast' that the yellow bear desires."

"But," Bai Ze said. "Ao Guang brought information about another world to Haotian. In exchange for Haotian's permission. That's why he was able to complete that priesthood so easily."

Zhang Chengcheng had a lot of speculations, but it was only now that Nuan Yangyang made it clear.I see.

Ao Guang was running around before, and reached several agreements with Zhang Cheng.Whether it was to actively join Shenzhan (in exchange for Taiyin Xingjun's cooperation in Shenzhan), or to raise the priesthood of "Ganoderma lucidum" for Zhang Chengzhong, or even fight against Chang'e shirtless in the end, it can be regarded as very hard work and a lot of effort.However, the price Ao Guang asked Zhang Cheng was insignificant - he just wanted to travel to a different world to increase his knowledge.The last time he was plotted against by a god from another world, he almost couldn't come back.

"So it's like this..." Zhang Cheng's heart moved, and he began to understand why Haotian allowed his existence.

In fact, the principle of this matter is the same as what Ao Guang said.Under normal circumstances, the gods will be upset when they look at the planeswalker (this should be some kind of hidden rule of the lord of the plane), and they will take the initiative to attack the planeswalker even if there is no conflict or hatred.But it’s different for someone like Ao Guang——Ao Guang can happily cooperate with Zhang Cheng.Because reason can override instinctive dislike.

Haotian is also aware of the value of the planeswalker... that's why he tolerates the existence of the planeswalker.

Or... Could it be... Could it be?An idea came to Zhang Cheng's mind.

This idea actually popped up a long time ago, but now it has become very strong.

"My answer is, I don't know." Nuan Yang Yang read Zhang Cheng's thoughts. "Or insufficient information, unless I go to Earth."

It lay there with its eyes closed and continued to chew grapes.Zhang Cheng also summoned Xiao Huihui.Xiao Huihui doesn't seem to have any hostility towards Nuan Yang Yang, in fact, it has been courting the opponent's body, but was kicked away by Nuan Yang Yang in disgust.

Although in terms of combat power, Xiao Huihui is definitely better at fighting, but it seems... Wisdom is the most important factor.

Zhang Cheng moved to the window, and the autumn sun shone, making him drowsy.It's okay anyway, it's good to take a nap, he slowly closed his eyes.In the dimness, he found that the surrounding environment had changed suddenly.
