Douluo's Dragon Yin Jiuxiao

Chapter 604 Between countries, who is plotting against whom?

The general court meeting of the Star Luo Empire is not held every day. It is usually held once every ten days. It is held in the Tianji Hall in front of the Star Luo Palace. The third day after arriving in Star Luo City.

Outside the huge Tianji Hall, there are thousands of well-equipped soldiers stationed, including nearly a hundred soul masters. Everyone's cultivation base is around the soul sect. There is this configuration.

Although it was still early, outside the palace, one after another officials rushed to the palace with their own thoughts. After inspection, a group of people entered inside talking and laughing.

In fact, Xu Jiawei had already released the news on the day the Sea Soul Mission arrived. Basically, high-ranking officials had secretly reached a consensus with Xu Jiawei.

After all the civil and military officials stood still in the Tianji Hall, everyone was whispering, and soon, it was eight o'clock in the morning.

"Your Majesty is here, be quiet."

A deep and majestic voice came from nowhere, and in an instant, hundreds of officials collectively shut their mouths and respectfully faced the position of the star chair.

Not long after, Xu Jiawei walked over like a tiger, and accompanied the two priests by his side.

After Xu Jiawei sat on the star chair, all the officials below immediately shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor."

Xu Jiawei nodded, and said: "Excuse me, let the Xuanhai Soul Envoy see you."

Soon, the commander of the Tianji Temple guards guarding the gate took orders, quickly came outside the hall, and shouted: "Xuan, the delegation of the Sea Soul Empire is here."

The group of Prime Ministers of the Sea Soul Empire who were standing outside the hall heard the commander's words, packed up their robes, and then walked quickly into the Tianji Hall. A group of people finally came to the Star Luo Empire in front of all civil and military officials of the Star Luo Empire. The position parallel to the Prime Minister of the Empire stopped.

Prime Minister Haihun led the team, and the entourage saluted respectfully, "See Your Majesty Xingluo."

"Excuse me." Xu Jiawei's eyes met with Prime Minister Xing Luo's, as if a consensus had been reached in the eyes of the two of them, a gleam of careful calculation flashed across their eyes.

Although the Star Luo Empire already knew what the Sea Soul Empire was thinking, they still had a polite greeting and conversation before starting to talk about the topic.

Prime Minister Haihun said respectfully: "My emperor hopes to reach an agreement on military cooperation with your country. Once it is completed, we are willing to give a big city with a population of one million and three medium-sized cities with a population of 50 in return."

As soon as these words came out, the officials of the Star Luo Empire in the Tianji Hall instantly looked at each other in dismay.

Douluo Continent has been developing step by step for thousands of years, and the classification of cities is also very clear. If the number of permanent residents reaches 100 million, it is a big city; if the number of permanent residents reaches 50, it is a medium-sized city; It is a small city.

It has to be said that this reward from the Sea Soul Empire is indeed astonishing.

But, even if you get it, if you want the local people to really be willing to submit to the new empire, it still takes a lot of effort, and it may even easily lead to riots.

After finishing speaking, Prime Minister Haihun quietly waited for a response.

Xu Jiawei kept silent, but Prime Minister Xing Luo was about to start performing. He stepped out, faced Xu Jiawei, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I think that military cooperation needs to be discussed more. Now that there are many people's livelihood problems in the empire, it is not appropriate to use force to join forces." , we should do more to recuperate and improve people's livelihood."

Prime Minister Haihun glanced at Prime Minister Xingluo, but he didn't say anything. In fact, before coming again, the Seahun Empire sent people to visit many places in the Star Luo Empire.

In fact, not only the people's livelihood in the Star Luo Empire is serious, but it is the same in any empire in the Douluo Continent. To put it bluntly, it is too serious for the nobles to cannibalize the common people. This is the biggest source of the problem.

As for ordinary people, if they want to get ahead, they only have one choice to become a soul master. If they fail, the whole family can only stay at the bottom. It is too difficult to cross the class.

Xu Jiawei did not answer directly, but asked several important ministers one after another. Due to the communication in advance, the views of a group of people were completely consistent with that of Prime Minister Xing Luo.

This made Prime Minister Haihun frowned slightly. He looked at Xu Jiawei, but the latter seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, in the quiet Tianji Hall, Xu Jiawei said, "Tell me what you want to exchange for the four cities. .”

Hearing this, Prime Minister Haihun's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, our Haihun Empire doesn't need your country to send out any soldiers to help fight the Sun Moon Empire. We only need your country to gather heavy troops in Mingdou Mountain Range Just use force to deter the Sun Moon Empire."

"That's it?" Xu Jiawei pretended to be surprised.

"Yes." The Prime Minister of Haihun nodded and said: "The Sun Moon Empire is ambitious and wants to swallow our Haihun Empire, but because of the great disparity in our national power, my emperor sent ministers to your country for help. And your country should be very happy." I would be happy to see a sun and moon empire with declining national power, as long as our sea soul exists for a day, we can bring your country a longer development time."

It has to be said that although the Sea Soul Empire is controlled by the evil soul master behind the scenes, the last sentence of the Prime Minister of Sea Soul did speak to Xu Jiawei's heart.

The longer the Sun Moon Empire is divided, the better for the Star Luo Empire.

Xu Jiawei pondered, "This matter cannot be decided arbitrarily, and I still need to consider it from many aspects."

Prime Minister Haihun was not in a hurry, anyway, the war between the Empire and the Sun Moon Empire was still early, so he immediately changed the subject, "The foreign ministers came to your country this time to discuss military cooperation, and there is one more thing, that It is to carry out more maritime trade agreements with your country and strengthen the cooperative relationship between the two parties.”

After suspending the matter of military cooperation, the court meeting changed the direction of the discussion. In the end, it took about an hour and a half. After a fierce battle of words, Xingluo and Haihun reached a lot of cooperation on maritime trade.

At the end of the court meeting, the officials dispersed.

The Sea Soul Mission was led by a special person and was taken back to the place.

But in the study room of Xingluo Palace, the arrival of another person made Xu Jiawei even happier, because these were none other than the people from the Sun Moon Empire Mission.

The chief ambassador of the Sun Moon Mission is none other than Jing Hongchen, who can be called the courtesan of the Sun Moon Empire. By the way, Jing Hongchen went to Star Luo City after following Juzi to lead the army.

From some people, Jing Hongchen already knew that the Sea Soul Empire had also sent a mission to talk to the Star Luo Empire.

On the side of the Star Luo Empire, the attitude towards Jing Hongchen is very different. Don't forget that Jing Hongchen is a ninth-level soul engineer and the boss of the strongest soul tool research base in the mainland, so his status is completely different.

"Master Hongchen, I've been waiting for a long time." Xu Jiawei sat on his exclusive chair, and Jing Hongchen sat there alone in front of him.

Of the entire Sun Moon Mission, only Jing Hongchen came to Xingluo City alone, and the rest were still waiting at the place arranged by Duke Baihu of Mingdou Mountain Range.

"Your Majesty Xing Luo. I'm here to trouble you this time." Jing Hongchen smiled.

"It's nothing troublesome." Xu Jiawei smiled and said, "I don't know why Hall Master Hongchen came here this time?"

The smile on Jing Hongchen's face remained unchanged, he cut straight to the point and said, "The group of rebels who are envoys to your country just want your majesty to send troops to deter our sun and moon. I guess I am right about this, right?"

Xu Jiawei was noncommittal.

Jing Hongchen said with a smile: "The reason why my emperor sent me to your country is mainly to discuss the cooperation between the two countries in terms of soul tool technology."

Xu Jiawei's eyes flashed, "Oh? In terms of technology, the entire Douluo Continent is undoubtedly the strongest Mingde Hall under the jurisdiction of Hongchen Hall Master. We should have no conditions here to make you look at it."

Why can't Jing Hongchen see that Xu Jiawei is playing with himself as a riddle here? He said bluntly: "We are willing to share the soul guide technology with enough sincerity with your country, and there is only one thing that your country needs to pay, and that is fakery. Agree with the idea of ​​​​the group of rebels, but actually stand still."

"Although this batch of shared technology is not the most top-notch existence, I can guarantee that it will definitely save your country's soul tool technology from taking many years of detours. Presumably His Majesty does not know that Shrek Academy's internal control Some soul guide technology, I am afraid that even I, Mingdetang, can't match it."

Xu Jiawei remained expressionless and kept smiling, but there were already some waves in his heart. Thinking of the recent contact between Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Empire, could it be that the two sides also exchanged soul guide technology?

Such exchanges have already occurred.

"Your Majesty, to speak from the bottom of my heart, my emperor is now an emperor who pursues peace." Jing Hongchen added one last sentence, and then he stopped talking, sitting cheerfully waiting for Xu Jiawei's signal.

In the imperial study room, the two priests who followed Xu Jiawei all looked at Xu Jiawei.

To be honest, no matter how the Star Luo Empire chooses, they are the ones who will benefit.

Xu Jiawei is not a very decisive emperor, but when he mentioned the long-term development of the empire, he became vigorous and decisive. Seeing the smile of Hong Chen with glasses, Xu Jiawei smiled and said: "Your country is full of sincerity, and I can't treat it as a bad thing." People, I will ask the Prime Minister to communicate and discuss with the Lord Hongchen about the follow-up issues."

Jing Hongchen said with a smile: "To be honest, we have brought some soul tool technology over here, and they are still waiting in the Mingdou Mountains. Once we have finished negotiating with your country, the first batch of technology will be delivered immediately."

Xu Jiawei took a deep look at Hongchen with Spectacles, and had to say that the Sun Moon Empire was indeed very courageous, and he really gave something, but for some reason he always had a bad feeling.

Jing Hongchen still kept smiling. He did bring a lot of soul guide technology, but without exception, only 15.00% of these soul guide technologies were related to combat, and most of them were civilian soul guides. , In fact, the technology of civilian soul guides is not very strong.

And the reason why Jing Hongchen chose so many civilian soul guide technology to give away, the most important point is that if it is circulated in the Star Luo Empire in the future, those nobles of the Star Luo Empire will probably increase their efforts to monopolize it, but the common people will not. Therefore, the Sun Moon Empire can use this shared technology to aggravate the conflicts within the Star Luo Empire.

Otherwise, they really think that the Sun Moon Empire is a fool, and they will send soul guide technology when they encounter problems, and damage their own strength to increase the enemy's strength.

This chess piece can be regarded as laying the fuse for the future Star Luo Empire.

Between countries, who is plotting against whom?

While the Star Luo Empire was bustling, a place called Luoying City, [-] kilometers northwest of Mingdu, was equally bustling, but it was a bit different when it was hot and noisy.

It was purely because the Sun Moon Conqueror Army from Mingdu chose this place as the first place to recover. The reason why they chose this place was related to their city lord.

The population of Luoying City is as high as 67, which is considered a medium-sized city. The owner of the city is Xu Zuquan, who has been a branch of the royal family for countless generations, and now he has taken refuge in Sea Soul Emperor Xu You.

Xu You didn't value the northern cities with the evil forest as the dividing line, so he gave all the nobles in the northern cities who surrendered to him great autonomy, and the price only required them to pay enough money every year. It can be said that Xu Zuquan is almost like an emperor in Luoying City.

On the surface, Xu Zuquan followed Xu You's policy of cultivating life and nourishing the people, but secretly he continued to erode the resources in the city and take it for himself, which led to many civilians going bankrupt and becoming servants and vagabonds.

Such a place is also the simplest existence to recover. All the oranges are focused on this place. As for Dongyang City, it needs to be considered in the long run. After all, the largest city in the north is not a joke.

There were many cities in the Sun and Moon Empire. When the entire empire was not divided, the population was about 7000 million people. Among them, the Sea Soul Empire split up after the Sun and Moon Empire was established, and about 500 million people were separated. Counting from the evil forest as the dividing line of the empire, it is the western and northern regions.

Five kilometers away from Luoying City, the mighty Sun and Moon Conqueror Army gathered in one place. It was already night time. From the sky, as many as five high-altitude soul-guided detectors had already surrounded the entire city. Every corner is tightly locked.

Juzi stood in the tent, watching all the changes in Luoying City in front of the light guide screen. With the help of the image sent by the detector, although the image was not very clear, he could see a raging fire somewhere in the city.

"Commander, the commando team we placed in Luoying City has successfully captured the walls of Luoying City."

Suddenly, a fully armed soul engineer came to Ju Zi's side, with a very respectful expression.

The beautiful orange eyes are less soft than before, and more sharp like a sword. She no longer has Xu Tianran's support behind her. If she wants to stand out, she must show her military talent. There is no chance of turning around in the future.

"Notify the first soul engineer group to avoid civilian residences, take the route with the least traffic, and don't hurt any civilians. Those who make mistakes will be dealt with according to military regulations. After mixing into the city, first control the gathering place of nobles in Luoying City and the City Lord's Mansion. Second He and the third soul engineer group are responsible for suppressing the defenders of Luoying City and trying their best to persuade them to surrender. This battle must be fought quickly, and the defenders of Luoying City must not be given any chance to react."

Tangerine quickly issued an order.

"Here." The soul engineer took the order, ran out of the tent, and flew into the air with flames from the flying soul tool on his back, while Juzi's orders were conveyed by him.

The three major backup soul engineer groups have just become full-timers, and it is the first time to conduct actual combat, but after all, they have joined the ranks of the soul engineer group, and the internal personnel are not rookies.

Visible to the naked eye, the three major soul engineer groups ambushing outside Luoying City successfully entered the city with the help of the city wall that was breached by the commando, and then divided into three groups.

It was already early in the morning, and the residents in Luoying City had already fallen asleep. After all, it was not a top-tier big city like Mingdu, and there were not many entertainment activities, so they could only fall asleep early. The streets everywhere seemed very quiet. The cold wind that blows from time to time can also make some noise.

And on a dilapidated street with many trash cans, a little girl who was only seven or eight years old with withered, yellow and messy hair and a bloodstain on her right arm was struggling through the trash cans, eager to find some food.

When she found a piece of almost moldy black bread that was thrown away by others, a "greedy" smile appeared on her obviously malnourished face. Suddenly, she was stunned. When she turned around and was about to find a place to sit down and eat, a group of people quickly spread out from all directions on the street like messengers of the night.

Immediately afterwards, the little girl widened her round eyes, because at some point in front of her, a piece of extremely delicious-looking cream cake appeared, with a few pieces of fruit embellished on it. At this moment, the cake was quietly placed on the Clean plastic plate...
