Ark's Journey to the Demon God

The emperor nodded repeatedly, and finally, taking advantage of the joy, Shen Muke opened a can of craft Letania beer and drank it with the emperor.

After drinking for three rounds, Shen Muke smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I came all the way. Although I was in a hurry, I still brought a rarer specialty for Your Majesty!"

"Oh? Is there anything good in Letania? Lord Shen, can you let me see it?"

Shen Muke subconsciously looked at the eunuchs in the palace. The emperor understood and reached out to disperse them.

As a result, there were only three people left in the palace: Shen Muke, the Emperor, and the Tutor.

"Master Shen, there is no one waiting here now, you can speak now."

Shen Muke smiled and took out a parchment scroll from his body and presented it in his hand.

The Taifu blinked, walked down the stairs, took the parchment scroll from Shen Muke's hand, opened it again, confirmed that there was no danger, and presented it in front of the emperor.

The Tutor and the Emperor took a closer look. On it were drawn maps of Ursus, Letania, Kazdaele, the Eastern Kingdom, and Syracuse. The land was vast, covering almost half of Terra!

"Hiss...this map..."

Although the map is not very detailed, it can be seen that the person who drew the map knows these countries very well, and there are many markings on this map.

Most of the labels are arrows, starting from the countries around Dayan and ending in the hinterland of Dayan.

"May I ask Lord Shen, what do these marked arrows mean?" Taifu asked, pointing to the markings.

Shen Muke put down his wine glass, chuckled, and explained calmly: "This is the route for all countries to conquer the Great Flame!"

what! ?

The emperor shook his hands and almost dropped the map to the ground.

The Taifu said with a straight face: "Master Shen, this kind of joke is not fun!"

"A joke? What is a joke?" Shen Muke blinked. He stood up, walked to the steps of the main hall, faced the emperor, and said: "As far as I know, when Dayan was founded as a young man, the country was stable and the country was rich and powerful. However, in Jiuyuan, Dragons are also afraid of maggots! Even though they are powerful, they still have dangers!"

Shen Muke walked slowly and explained: "I want the country to be prosperous in the great heat, and the country to be safe and the people to be happy, so the only patients to be treated are foreign enemies!"

"The enemies outside the Great Flame are none other than the Eastern Kingdom, Ursus, and Kazdaele!"

When the emperor heard this, his expression changed slightly, but he still said: "The words of Lord Shen are slightly biased."

"Oh? Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, I don't know where I am biased."

"Dongguo, Dongguo is our ally, Great Yan, how can it be a foreign enemy?"

"Dongguo? Allies?" Shen Muke was so happy that he waved his hands and said, "Why did the emperor test me with such words? In the eyes of the emperor, are Dayan and Dongguo really the so-called country of father, son, uncle and nephew?" "

Hearing this, Taifu's heart skipped a beat. He seemed to instantly realize what Shen Muke was thinking, and at the same time he noticed that the emperor's mood was gradually turbulent...

Shen Muke knew that although he hadn't explained it yet, Emperor Dayan already understood.

It’s not enough, we need to add more fire!

Shen Muke shook his head and continued: "The Fudong Kingdom uses a shogunate to rule the country, and warriors to control the territory. All the people are martial, and they are fond of killing and fighting. There are many cruel, unkind, wild and untamed people!"

"Therefore, these people take life lightly but value profit. They only know military power but not benevolence. Therefore, within the shogunate, there are often stubborn, willful, self-willed, ignorant and ignorant people who succeed!"

Shen Muke sighed. In the past, he had some dealings with people from the shogunate in Blood Peak. The soldiers were all very good. They were brave enough to defend their home and country. Most of them were heroes...but those who wore long robes and wore big swords As for the officials...it can only be said that they fit his stereotype of Dongguo.

"On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?"

Shen Muke looked at the emperor, shook his head again and again and said: "The Eastern Kingdom is located in the northeast of Great Yan. Apart from Great Yan, it has no neighboring countries. This makes them only know the land in front of them, but not the vastness of the world! Over time, there will be two Heart!"

"If the Great Yan remains the same for thousands of years, the Eastern Kingdom will never dare to make mistakes. However, once the Great Yan society becomes unstable, the Eastern Kingdom will surely be the vanguard of the Great Yan's destruction!"

"In the peaceful years, the Eastern Kingdom can be like a falcon and a fierce dog in the great flames, but if it comes to troubled times... the fierce dogs may turn into wolves and the falcons into vultures!"

boom! !

The emperor was finally extremely angry, his eyes widened, and he slapped the table with both hands.

"The small country of Zu'er has received countless favors from our government, how dare you do this?!!"

"Your Majesty..." The Taifu looked at the emperor. He knew that Dongguo had completely established the image of a rebel in the emperor's heart, and it was the kind of person who could not be washed away even if he jumped into the river.

The Taifu looked at Shen Muke at the bottom of the steps with a complicated expression. He only lamented that Shen Muke had extraordinary abilities. Just with his words, he made Dayan focus on Dongguo from then on. His ability to drive away tigers and devour wolves was no less than the ability to destroy a single person. country!

The emperor clenched his fists and said with red eyes: "The words of Lord Shen made me think about something completely. Ha, it seems that what I was worried about before was not groundless!"

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Dongguo is not the biggest threat to Dayan now."

"I was about to listen to what Lord Shen had to say." The emperor calmed down and sat down and said, "Just now Lord Shen said that Ursus and Kazdaele are also suffering from the Great Inflammation. I wonder if Lord Shen can give me some answers?"

"sure."

Chapter 52 Isn’t food just for people to eat?

Shen Muke only

In just a few words, he had completely ended the possibility of the rise of the Eastern Kingdom, and now, he was about to discuss Ursus and Kazdel with Emperor Dayan.

Shen Muke stood at the foot of the steps, quite high-spirited, and said: "From my humble opinion, among the three kingdoms, Usas is the biggest problem in front of your Majesty!"

"Fuusas, seize the artifact of the Hippogriff, establish a kingdom in the northern border of Terra, resist the evil spirits, raid Casimir to the south, invade Sami to the west, and threaten the Yan Kingdom to the east. Such great dangers will Is it because His Majesty is worried?"

"Indeed, Mr. Shen is right." The emperor rubbed his head and said, "Usas, it is indeed my heartache."

Shen Muke nodded and said: "The continuous invasion of Ursus has made Dayan's border gates extremely troublesome. Therefore, Dayan has no choice but to be trapped in a corner, unable to communicate with the western countries of Terra!"

The emperor's eyes lit up, Shen Muke's idea coincided with his!

Many people simply believe that Ursus has only one military threat to Dayan, and their legion poses a threat to Dayan. However, to Dayan, Ursus' military threat is only the smallest of their many threats. !

If we look at the map of Terra, we will find that although Dayan has a vast territory, its geographical location is extremely poor!

First of all, Great Yan is located in the northeast of Terra, just connected to the outside of the continent. Like Ursus, Great Yan also faces the threat of evil spirits.

Besides that, the west side of Great Yan was in chaos.

The tyrannical and ruthless Ursus and the perennially chaotic Kazdel surrounded the entire west side of Great Yan!It is almost impossible for Dayan to communicate with the mainland. Whether it is trade or national cooperation, Dayan suffers greatly!

It can be said that if Dayan hadn't had good military force, clear politics, and a way to be self-sufficient and recuperate, he would have been forced to subjugate his country long ago!

"The words of Lord Shen are deeply appreciated by me!" The emperor said excitedly: "For thousands of years, countless people with lofty ideals in our dynasty wanted to open up the Western Region and develop trade, but in the end they were all destroyed at the hands of Ursus and Kazdel! "

The emperor stood up, walked down the stairs, and looked at Shen Muke levelly: "If Kazdel hadn't been stabilized recently, how could Letania and Dayan be connected?"

"Your Majesty's words are correct... However, Kazdare's stability may not always be a good thing for Dayan."

???

The emperor was a little confused and said, "Where do we start talking about this?"

Shen Muke said with a smile: "If we say that the country on the continent of Terra is extremely stable, it is none other than Great Flame. However, if we say that it is immortal in a hundred battles, it is Kazdel!"

"In the past thousand years, Kazdaele has been subjugated three times. The people have been wiped out and displaced among various countries. It can be said that the mountains and rivers are broken, and the life experience is ups and downs!"

"But, decades ago, two righteous people came out of Kazdale! They were brother and sister Therese and Theresia!"

"Trasis, command the war, break the alliances of the nations, behead the enemy in front of the battle line, you are unstoppable even though you have thousands of men!"

"Theresia, in charge of the Black Crown, is the orthodoxy of Sakaz. With one move, all Sakaz in the world will follow suit. There are signs of unifying the Demon Kingdom!"

"This is the reason why Kazdaele is stable!"

The emperor looked a little heavy and said: "In this way, if Kazdare is unified, what will happen to Great Yan..."

Emperor Dayan did not discriminate against Sakaz like other countries. On the contrary, he admired Sakaz's bravery and bloodiness, but the more he admired him, the more he became concerned. However, Dayan had never done anything to Kazdaele back then. Among the allied forces that destroyed Kazdel back then, there was no Great Yan team... Will Sarkaz really bring the flames of war to him when he revives?

Shen Muke shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, under the so-called overthrow of the nest, how can there be any eggs? In the past, Kazdaele crossed the continent and ruled the world, but there was no Great Flame at that time!"

hiss……

The emperor looked at Shen Muke, and he understood what Shen Muke meant. If Sakaz wanted to regain his past glory, one day he would take Dayan's attention, but sooner or later.

The emperor returned to his seat worriedly, remained silent for a long time, and finally said: "So, how can our external troubles in the Great Flame be so intense and dangerous? Fortunately, I thought that the great Yan Dynasty was invincible, but now it seems that our empire is invincible. We are already in danger..."

The Taifu stood aside, hesitating to speak. Of course he knew that the current situation was not that serious. Moreover, even if other countries wanted to attack Dayan, Dayan would not be afraid. Dayan had millions of soldiers and thousands of good generals. , and there are masters such as the Twelve Fragments of the Year Beast and Qing Leibo, even if those countries want to be detrimental to Dayan, what can they do?

However, after listening to Shen Muke's words, Taifu also had some concerns. There are countries in this world that last for a hundred years and dynasties that last for thousands of years, but what if it lasts for ten thousand years?

No country can prosper or decline for a long time. You will always make mistakes. But in the position of Great Yan, once you make a mistake, it may be a disaster!

Therefore, Tai Tu did not speak in the end because he knew that Shen Muke was right and Dayan really needed a way to solve the surrounding hidden dangers.

After a long silence, the emperor pointed at the map and said: "Master Shen, since you are willing to explain this threat to me, then you must have a way to help me solve it, right?"

However, Shen Muke, who had been talking endlessly just now, blinked, smiled and said nothing, just lowered his head to pick up the food.

The Tutor was stunned for a moment and thought to himself, you were eloquent just now, but now you are silent?

Are you pretending to be a newbie if you don't talk now?

The emperor was also a little embarrassed, but he was very

The main contradiction of the matter was quickly discovered!

"I am very happy that Lord Shen has come all the way to work on the affairs of the two countries. How about I take a thousand taels of red gold from my internal funds and ten boxes each of pearls, jade and precious stones to give to Lord Shen as a token of my gratitude?"

Internal money is the emperor's private money. The emperor used his own money to give Shen Muke a gift, which shows that he attaches great importance to it.

However, Shen Muke shook his head and said slowly: "Gold and jade can't be eaten by the mouth and cannot be touched by the body. Even if there are millions of them, what's the use?"

Ah this...

Shen Muke straightened his clothes, bowed deeply to the Emperor on the steps, and said, "I am here, firstly, for the alliance between the two countries, and secondly, to ask for something from Your Majesty!"

"what?"

Shen Muke's voice was a little low, but still powerful: "I heard that there are improved rice varieties in Dayan, which can be harvested three times a year and produce a thousand catties per mu..."

Dead silence, a silence that can be heard when a needle drops.

Not to mention the emperor, the Taifu's expression changed again and again, and finally turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Shen... Your Majesty, your request... Do you know that food is the foundation of the country? How could you..."

Before the Taifu finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Emperor on the side. The Emperor said calmly: "Master Shen, I treat you sincerely, why do you want to make such a joke with me?"

Shen Muke shook his head and said: "Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, although I am young and frivolous, I still have some self-awareness. Food is the foundation of a country. Of course I know that Your Majesty will not give it to me, and I also know it. But even so, Yu I must shamelessly ask for it from His Majesty."

"Since you know that I will never agree to you, why do you open your mouth and make you and I dislike each other?"

"Because I am not doing it for my own selfish desires, but for the sake of thousands of people in Leitania."

Shen Muke lowered his head and said: "The Holy Emperor doesn't know something. Letania is a small country with few people and fertile land is scarce. The food produced every year cannot meet the needs of the people. Therefore, it has to buy it from neighboring Casimir at a high price. However, this is not a long-term solution at all..."

"The reason why I want rice seeds is that I want Letania to be like Dayan, self-sufficient and recuperate... Therefore, Yu Tian is shameless and boastful. He stands here and asks His Majesty the Holy Emperor to agree to Yu's request. On behalf of the thousands of people in Letania, I would like to thank His Majesty the Holy Emperor!"

Shen Muke clasped his hands and bowed to an emperor for the first time.

There was another moment of silence, and Taifu looked at Shen Muke. Even he couldn't bear it, so he wanted to persuade him, but his hand was held down by the emperor, so he stopped talking.

On the dragon throne, the emperor was silent for a long time, and finally murmured to himself: "If I have a king in Great Yan...why worry about the country not being prosperous...why worry about the world being unstable?"

"His Majesty?"

The emperor shook his head and said slowly: "Lord Shen, why are you like this? Please raise your head. If a man like you, a man of nature, bends his back to me, won't I feel guilty?"

The emperor walked down the stairs, helped Shen Muke up with his own hands, and said slowly: "Master Shen, Mr. Shen, Shen Muke... Before today, I thought that people like you only existed in novels, but now I have seen it in the world. There are people like you... This is the blessing of civilization..."

"Your Majesty, what are you..." Shen Muke murmured.

"I agreed to your request." The emperor said: "I will ask people to select the best rice seeds, and let a group of farmers' children return to the country with you to help the people of Leitania and eat our country's food!"

"Your Majesty, why don't you discuss this matter with the officials?" The Taifu leaned into the emperor's ear and asked tentatively.

The emperor simply shook his head and said: "I have made up my mind, and I am not allowed to say anything else. But Lord Shen, I still have one condition!"

"May I ask Your Majesty, what is the condition?"

Shen Muke asked. He had already decided that no matter what the conditions were, even if the emperor asked him to get the moon from the sky, he would give it a try!

"I want you to agree from now on when you meet other people who are hungry and ask for food and rice seeds from you. You must spread my Dayan's food and rice seeds to Terra bit by bit. Everywhere in the mainland! One day, everyone in the world will have enough to eat!"

Shen Muke was so surprised by such bold words that he took a step back, while the Taifu beside him also looked shocked.

Let everyone in the world have enough to eat?

Countries that resort to militarism cannot understand where Yan's prosperity comes from.

But now, Shen Muke seemed to understand.

"What Dayan pursues is never to settle down in one corner, nor to dominate one area, but to benefit the whole world and bring peace to the world! For Dayan, being able to provide good seeds to the hungry people is the best use of everything. Shen Muke can bend down for the people, so why can't Dayan be a man of beauty and do something beneficial and harmless?"

"What's more, isn't food just for people to eat?"
