First emperor of the human race

Chapter 289
"The emperor knows what the minister is thinking, why should he laugh at the minister?"

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly and said.

"Hehe, if that's the case, then let's go. I'd like to see if this Li Guo has eaten the heart of a dragon or something, and dared to embarrass my navy in Daxia."

Su Chen was not angry. In his eyes, Li Guo was just a clown.

Now the main goal of Tiantai is to maintain stability in Daxia and the movements of the Yiren army. As for the small countries and small forces around, Dengtai has no time to pay attention to them for the time being.

Li Guo can basically be regarded as a country on water, 60.00% of the land is surrounded by rivers, and the land area is so small that they have no extra space to cultivate.

Food in the whole country depends on buying from the surrounding area, and relying on mountains to eat mountains, and water to eat water. The food in the rivers can be said to be inexhaustible and inexhaustible.

Su Chen and the others left in a cruise ship that was not too big but not too small. Along the way, Su Chen's expression was always very ugly.

Although it is now a time of war, the flames of war have never reached Li Guo's side. The Great Xia on the front line has resisted the main beam, and the Yiren have never broken through the grasslands of the eastern border.

But looking at the people in exile all around, Su Chen was full of doubts in his heart.

"Emperor, we have also discovered in the past few days that Li Guo is extremely corrupt, and there are even more miscellaneous taxes. Among them, three out of ten taxes are considered the lightest, and under normal circumstances, six out of ten taxes are paid."

Zhou Yu said with a gloomy face.

"Do you know why and why?"

Su Chen asked.

"I don't know, but Li Guo's government is extremely unfriendly to us. If it wasn't for fear of spoiling the emperor's affairs, the minister would have done it long ago."

Zhou Yu replied.

However, just when Su Chen was about to inquire about Li Guo's situation, there was a sudden cry from the distant shore.

"Let go of my daughter, let go of my daughter..."

Su Chen has such good eyesight, when he heard the crying, he could already see that the crying person was an old woman.

On the other side, a few officials holding steel knives were talking provocatively to the girl in the old woman's arms with lewd smiles. How could they look like officials at this time?It's like a group of bandits who bully men and women.

"unacceptable."

Seeing this, Zhou Yu was furious, and jumped out of the boat without waiting for the boat to pull over.

I saw Zhou Yu's foot lightly tap the water, and the person flew away like an arrow.

"Haha, if you're a smart old lady, get out of here quickly, or I won't let you go if my brothers are hungry."

The leading officer said viciously.

"I beg you, please let us orphans and widows go, here are all our entanglements, all of them are given to you, please let us go."

The old woman's cry was very desolate, it was a kind of anger full of despair.

"Haha, it's a joke, the whole of Zhonghuang is now at war, and the new king has just taken office and wants to contribute to our human race, so I ask you untouchables to pay more taxes to support the frontline soldiers."

"And what about you? It's almost three months now, and you've paid less than half of the tax. Are you dissatisfied with the new king? Are you planning to rebel?"

With just a few words, the leader of the bureaucracy has been promoted from robbing the women of the people to the level of serving the country and the people, making it seem that everything he does is for the rise and fall of the human race.

On the contrary, the old woman was forced to rob her daughter, and now she is labeled as dissatisfied with the monarchy and intends to rebel.

At this time, there were quite a few people around, but they all just watched indifferently, and no one offered to help.

Zhou Yu's speed wasn't too fast, and although the distance wasn't too far, he was only at the Sanqing Realm after all, so he couldn't compare to Zhao Yun and other Legendary Realm powerhouses.

"Okay, don't cry, I think you can't pay your taxes, but it doesn't matter, give your daughter to us, your taxes are up to me, and you don't have to pay them."

Seeing it poorly, it was when the leading official smiled lewdly and was about to reach out to grab the woman in the old woman's arms.

There was only a "clang", which was the sound of the sword being unsheathed.

"Pfft!"

"what"

Blood splattered, and the leading official screamed while clutching his severed hand.

His hand was cut off by Zhou Yu, and when Zhou Yu was slashing his sword to guard against other officials, they left the bloody officials and ran away.

"Killed, killed..."

There was a panic all around, and at this time, He Dong had already rushed to Zhou Yu's side and looked around vigilantly.

The next thing is some simple comfort, so I won't say too much here.

But when Zhou Yu was in a dilemma about how to arrange the two women, Nezha suddenly appeared beside Zhou Yu: "The emperor asked to take the two of them there. The emperor has something to ask them."

Looking at the two trembling mother and daughter in front of him, Su Chen frowned slightly.

The clothes of the mother and daughter are just made of ordinary linen. Even a beggar would not wear this kind of material in Daxia. The aura of the Central Desolation is strong, and most of the clothes are made of silk.

Although Li Guo is not considered a big country, but because they have been under the protection of Great Xia for a long time, they should not have such a difficult life with well-developed water conservancy.

"I ask you, what's the matter with your clothes?"

Su Chen looked at the two of them and said.

Seeing that the two mother and daughter still looked scared, Zhou Yu frowned and said softly: "You two don't have to be afraid. Whatever the emperor asks you, you can answer whatever you want. No one here will hurt you two. .”

Maybe it was because Zhou Yu rescued them just now, the two of them still trust Zhou Yu.

The old woman said tremblingly: "If you go back to your lord, our clothes and so on have already been handed in. This old woman made it herself by picking wild hemp on the side of the road not long ago."

He Dong wanted to correct what she called Su Chen when he heard what the old woman said.

But Su Chen didn't care about these, he only squinted his eyes: "Where is Nezha."

"The minister is here."

Nezha stood in front of Su Chen and said respectfully.

"Watch Sima Yi from Junji Pavilion, and Zhu Ji from Dengtiantai immediately thoroughly investigate the spies who are in charge of Li Guo's affairs on Tiantai. Don't startle the snake, but find out who is behind the scenes."

Su Chen's face was full of murderous intent. Li Guo's affairs would definitely not be like this in a day or two months, but Su Chen did not receive any news.

Now it has been almost a year since the war between Da Xia and the Allied Forces of the Winged Human Race, and at this time, the small countries around him don’t even know that there are differences. Zhu Ji and others will never deceive him, so we can only say that the people in charge here problem occurs.

"Zhou Yu."

"The end is here."

"I ordered you to regroup the army immediately. If I expected it to be right, Li Guo is now under the control of the winged people. I use the sword light as a signal. When I see my sword light rise, I want you to take down Li Guo within three days." country."

Su Chen said with a murderous intent.

On the other side, in Li Guo's palace, the newly appointed Lord Li Guo was bowing his knees and saying something to a foreigner who looked like a three-meter-tall fish monster.

If Zhou Yu was here at this time, he would definitely recognize that this fish monster was the leader of the Fang Clan he had been hunting down...
