Another World’s Free and Easy Cultivator

East Gate of Phoenix. /very literary/

There were many people coming and going here, and there was no ceremony to welcome the distinguished guests, and not even a single city official came out.

Obviously, the messenger of the dynasty is not to be taken into account, and it is not welcome.

No words, no expressions, it couldn't be more obvious.

Squeak! !

On the sidewalk, a horse-drawn carriage was driving fast. In the carriage was a middle-aged man with an official hat and a calm face. On the left and right sides of the carriage were officers and soldiers, and everyone did not deliberately hide their cultivation, and they were all god-level.

The person sitting in the carriage is naturally the messenger of the Baiyu Dynasty.

The carriage suddenly stopped at the city gate, and the official inside actually tipped forward.

At this moment, it has been revealed that he has no cultivation and is a thorough civil servant. But this is inside the carriage, not for outsiders to see.

Generally speaking, the Hundred Jade Dynasty should send a person with cultivation, so that when a robbery accident occurs, they can leave in time with the tribute money, and the emperor should not be so stupid that he can't even think of this, and even if it is The emperor is foolish, but it is impossible for all civil and military ministers to be foolish.

As for sending a person who has no cultivation base, it is the emperor's intention. I am afraid that only he knows exactly what he is thinking.

He immediately sat up, tidy up his official hat, and then tidy up his official uniform.

"Sir, here we are."

The coachman's road.

The imperial emissary pulled the curtain and stepped out of the carriage. Seeing the pedestrians coming and going at the gate of the city, his face immediately darkened.

He is a dignified imperial messenger, who came on behalf of the Baiyu Dynasty, but the city lord did not come out to greet him. This is not contempt for him, but a great disrespect to the Baiyu Dynasty. He didn't take the Hundred Jade Dynasty in his heart at all, so he should have punished the Nine Clan.

You must know that he had already sent someone to inform them before he was about to arrive. Could it be that as a city lord, have he forgotten even the most basic etiquette?

When the envoy of the dynasty saw this, his face was very ugly, and he sat back in the car directly, "If you don't enter the city today, go and tell them that if they don't come out to greet them, this official refuses to enter the city."

A soldier immediately went up to a doorman and said a few words, then trotted back.

After a while, the city gate guard rushed over with a small group of soldiers. The guard was also a middle-aged man with a long black beard and a darker complexion, but with a warm smile on his face.

"Haha, why didn't the imperial envoys enter the city? The city lord is now personally arranging the envoy's place to stay. He was too busy to leave, so he specially ordered the envoy to enter the city at the end of the future.

"I heard that this Phoenix City has changed its owner, is that the case?"

"Oh, there is such a thing, our city lord abdicated and let the sages, and now our city lord is Yu Qingyi Yu city lord."

"This official came here on behalf of the dynasty, and he, a small city lord, is still putting on airs with this official. Just a word from this official, his head will move."

"The messenger said yes, so our city lord specially asked the future to welcome the messenger into the city, rest for a night, and discuss important matters tomorrow."

"Alright, let's go to the city."

I didn't enter the city before, just pretending. He still has to enter the city, and if he does not collect enough tribute money here, it will be difficult to save his life. Now that he has sent someone, he will just go down the hill with the donkey and enter the city.

The place to stay is not in the post house, but in a courtyard.

This courtyard is owned by the city lord's mansion, and it is a relatively good courtyard. It was originally bought to entertain VIPs, but now Yu Qingyi uses it to entertain the envoys of the dynasty.

The envoys of the dynasty were quite satisfied with this courtyard. There were no other courtyards around, and the environment was quiet, so it was a good place for self-cultivation.

When the imperial emissary moved into this place, the guard finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After the imperial emissary moved in, the guard found an excuse to leave.

As soon as the guard left his forefoot, a soldier walked in, "Go out, didn't you see that the officer was going to rest? Huh? You're not going out yet?"

The dynasty messenger slowly turned his face, and suddenly the expression on his face froze at this moment.

Not only did the soldier not leave, but he pulled a stool and sat down, sarcastically saying to the imperial envoy: "Sir, what a great authority."

"Oh? No...no...the emperor..."

"Not what?"

"That's not the case, by the way, prince, why did you come here?"

"If this prince doesn't come here, how can I see the authority of the adults."

"Prince, you misunderstood. Xiaguan was just a little tired all the way, so he was disrespectful. I hope that the prince will not remember the villain's deeds and let Xiaguan go."

The soldier who walked in turned out to be a prince of the Baiyu Dynasty. I saw that he looked very handsome, with a sinister smile, and the breath on his body was only god-level, but if you think he only has god-level cultivation, then you are wrong, very wrong.

This person is one of the more powerful princes of the Baiyu Dynasty, and his cultivation is extraordinary and earth-shattering.

"You are my eldest brother, how dare this prince dare to touch you?"

"The prince is joking."

The envoy of the Dynasty kept wiping off the sweat, and his legs were shaking constantly, and he was so scared that he lost his urine and feces.

The envoy of the dynasty continued: "I don't know what the prince has to do when he comes to Phoenix City this time? If the lower official can help, he will definitely do his best and die."

The prince sneered, "I count on you? Oh, if I count on you, this prince's head would have already moved."

"Prince, are you?"

"Don't understand? Then open the window and take a look."

The envoy of the dynasty opened the window according to the words, and saw a dense number of soldiers standing outside, every soldier was fully armed. There are so many people on the bright side, and I don't know how many are hidden in the dark. I'm afraid there are twice as many as on the bright side.

Seeing all this, the imperial emissary shuddered, "What's going on here? Could it be that Phoenix City is going to rebel?"

"Rebel? As long as he dares to rebel, Phoenix City will be razed to the ground by the army of our dynasty the next day. Don't think that if the Beichen family is repelled, there will be no lawlessness. The Beichen family is nothing in the eyes of this prince, only that old thing is there. There is still some weight in this prince's eyes."

The prince said coldly.

"Prince, what shall we do?"

"With nothing changing, you will meet the new city lord tomorrow and ask him to hand in the tribute money and double the tribute money."

"Double? Prince, that's one billion coins, not a small sum."

"Just do as I say."

"Yes, prince."

"And tomorrow, this prince will go with you and be your personal bodyguard. This prince is a little interested in the new city owner."

"Yes, yes, the lower officials obey the prince's arrangements."

The imperial envoys were like slaves, nodding their heads and bowing their waists, not daring to refute a word. After a quarter of an hour, the prince got up and left, and the clothes of the imperial emissary were already soaked with sweat.

All night.

Early the next morning, the imperial envoys shouted to see the city lord. The soldiers outside had no choice but to report. Yu Qingyi also knew that avoidance was useless, so he promised to see the imperial envoy first and prescribe the right medicine. As long as you know who the envoy of the dynasty is, you can find a way to delay it for a few days.

The imperial emissary walked into the city lord's mansion with two guards swaggeringly. Among the two soldiers, one was the prince from last night. He lowered his head slightly and looked at the ground.

When they entered the council hall, they saw two people sitting here, one was Yu Qingyi and the other was Feng Ying.

"We welcome the envoys of the Dynasty to Phoenix City. Presumably, the envoys must have never been to Phoenix City before. I will wait for the city master to bring the envoys to experience the local customs."

Yu Qingyi greeted her, but did not get up.

The emperor's messenger's face was immediately displeased, "Lord City Lord, let's not gossip, I believe Lord City Lord already knows the purpose of this official's visit this time, and I also asked Lord City Lord to hand over one billion tribute money to this official, and this official has to pay more. To other cities, there is no time to stay here."

"How can it be one billion? Isn't it five hundred million?"

Fengying asked with a frown.

"Yes, it used to be 500 million, but recently the dynasty is at war with the outside world, so the treasury is tight, so this time each city has to be doubled. This is the emperor's decision. If the city owner has any doubts, you can go to the emperor and question it face to face. "

Yu Qingyi knew that they must be deliberately making things difficult. If they gave them one billion, they would definitely swallow 500 million. If they didn't give them, they would add a crime of rebellion to Phoenix City.

In fact, the Baiyu Dynasty did not send troops to attack Phoenix City, because of insufficient reasons, and because Ye Shengtian was a wanted criminal, it could not send troops to intervene in the battle of the city. Doing so will inevitably cause an uproar, arouse the dissatisfaction of the various city owners, and eventually turn into a denunciation of the Baiyu Dynasty.

However, when Phoenix City rebelled openly, the army of the Hundred Jade Dynasty will become famous. The other city lords can't say anything, and they are obliged to send troops to cooperate. Just come to find out the truth, if Phoenix City doesn't object, he will try his best to force them to reverse. The imperial army's crusade against Phoenix City has become inevitable, and now they just need an excuse. Of course, they must seize such a good opportunity.

Baiyu Dynasty's crusade against Phoenix City, not only Ye Shengtian is a wanted criminal, but also a shock to other city lords who harbor ghosts, so that they can be honest. Of course, there is also the need to bring Phoenix City into the hands of the royal family, and it will be controlled by the royal family, and can no longer be controlled by the Liu family.

Phoenix City was built by Liu Yuyang. Liu Yuyang knew that he was not the opponent of the Baiyu Dynasty, so he paid tribute every year, which has been maintained for millions of years.

When Yu Qingyi heard it was one billion **** coins, he secretly thought that it was better, but his face showed a sad look, "Dynasty messengers, don't tell me in advance, we only prepared 500 million **** coins, and now we have to charge one billion. , we can't come up with it for the time being, and it may take a few days to get it together."

The envoy of the dynasty said: "Lord City Lord, don't deceive this official. The huge Phoenix City will not be able to get a billion coins? You have annexed more than a dozen cities before, which is a huge wealth. The Japanese official is about to leave, and this official will come again in the afternoon, I hope Lord City Lord will not disappoint this official."
