Practicing from the Taoist

Chapter 31 Return
"call!"

Exhaling a long breath, Xu Jin slowly opened her eyes and ended her training.

Feeling the slight increase in mana in her body, Xu Jin stood up, and at the same time couldn't help sighing in her heart, Yunshangjing really deserves to be the capital of Dasheng, a place like a god's domain, with a very strong aura, which is of great importance to cultivation Help, my practice in the middle of the night, the effect of improving mana is very obvious.

It's a pity that they are leaving today, and the next time they come to Yunshangjing, they don't know when it will be.

After standing up, Xu Jin tidied up quickly, and then waited outside for Chen Shou and others to set off.

Today's Yunshangjing is still very beautiful, especially the clouds in the sky, which are spread out in steps in the sky today. Looking at it at a glance, it gives people a sense of the vastness of the world, and because of the height of Yunshangjing, but also It will make people feel that the white clouds spreading out like steps are not out of reach. It seems that if you work harder, you can climb the steps of the white clouds and step into the boundless sky.

Not long after admiring at the door, Chen Shou and others came out, and then, Chen Shou, who was still in a good mood in the morning, said to Si Bu and others around him after coming to the door.

"We are going back soon. If you have anything to do, you should do it as soon as possible. If you miss the opportunity, it will be three years later!"

As the capital of the great prosperity, Yunshangjing is not only beautiful like a fairyland, but also the most prosperous place in the world. It gathers all the rare treasures in the world. It is said that most of the treasures in the world can be found here.

In fact, Xu Jin wanted to see it very much. Even if she didn't have much money and couldn't afford any of it, maybe it would be good to see it for a long time.

It's a pity that after they came to Yunshangjing, they were only allowed to see the scenery of Yunshangjing at the door at most, and they didn't have the opportunity to look around in Yunshangjing at all.

When Si Bu and the others heard the words, they all said that their affairs had been dealt with, and they could leave directly now, so everyone officially set foot on their way home.

All the way to the edge of Yunshangjing, just like when they came, two figures in white clothes appeared in front of them, and then a cloud of mist appeared at their feet.

At the moment when the cloud and mist were about to rise, Xu Jin suddenly felt some abnormal movement around him. After he turned his head quickly, he saw a flash of light not far from his side, and then the two Da Sheng officials appeared there.

"Master Chen stay behind!"

Hearing the words of the two Dasheng officials, Xu Jin and the others immediately stopped, and then Chen Shou spoke.

"The two called to stop the widow, but what orders does His Majesty Sheng Huang have?"

The two Dasheng officials looked at each other when they heard the words, and then one of them spoke.

"His Majesty Sheng Huang asked me to give this to Chen Guozhu, and let me tell you, I hope you will come back with this thing in three years' time!"

As soon as his words fell, another Dasheng official next to him immediately spread his hand, and a box appeared in his hand.

Xu Jin glanced at the box in the opponent's hand, and then he immediately recognized that it was the box where the Earth Qi crystals that Chen Guo paid tribute to were stored in.

Chen Shou and others looked at the box in the official's hand, and obviously recognized that the box was the tribute they sent out, but they still reached out to take the box and opened it to confirm.

After seeing the contents inside, Chen Shou and others finally confirmed without a doubt that what was inside was the crystallization of Earth Qi.

"He actually sent back the tribute!"

After confirming the items in the box, Xu Jin felt very surprised at the moment. She couldn't figure out what Dasheng's action of sending back the tribute items meant. Chen Shou and others were also a little bit confused for a while.

What the official said just now sounds like encouragement on the surface. Asking him to send this tribute item again after three years is an agreement that places high hopes on him, but Chen Shou and others just got it from Sheng Huang. Not long after receiving support, how can verbal encouragement compare to actual support, and Chen Shou has already received actual support, so it seems unnecessary to encourage him at this time.

What's more, the things sent back were the tributes from Chen Guo. The problem of returning the tribute items was not that simple.

After being silent for a while, Chen Shou looked at the box in his hand, and suddenly asked the two Dasheng officials.

"May I ask you two, how long did His Majesty Sheng Huang meet with the sovereigns of various countries last night before resting?"

Hearing the words, the two Dasheng officials looked at each other again, and then one of them thought about it for a while before answering.

"His Majesty Sheng Huang didn't rest until dawn this morning!"

"Thank you!"

Hearing this answer, Chen Shou's eyes flashed brightly, and then he thanked the two Dasheng officials in front of him, Si Bu standing behind him took a step forward with a smile, and bowed to the two Dasheng officials After saluting, two small cloth bags appeared in his hands, and he handed them to the two Dasheng officials in front of him.

"Thank you two adults for coming here to let me know. When we parted, I would like to express my heart. I hope that the two adults will not be disgusted!"

Seeing this, the two Dasheng officials took the two small cloth bags without hesitation, put them into their sleeves, and returned the salute with a smile before turning around and leaving.

Xu Jin looked at the two Dasheng officials who left, and then at Chen Shou who was still holding the box in his hand, and her thoughts began to flow.

As the lord of the Chen Kingdom, Chen Shou asked the question very cleverly just now. He didn't directly ask the two Dasheng officials why they returned the tribute items he had paid back to him. If so, I asked my own guess about it.

In this way, the two Dasheng officials didn't need to hide anything because of scruples, and he could also verify his guess and confirm Shenghuang's intention to return the items he had paid tribute.

And through Chen Shou's words just now, and the answers of the two Dasheng officials, Xu Jin also had a guess about this in his mind at this moment.

When Chen Shou and others came back yesterday, they undoubtedly received support from Sheng Huang. From this, it can be seen that Sheng Huang is on Chen Guo's side.

As for Jing Guo, who had already left, there were also some powerful princes standing behind them. Chen Shou could get help from Shenghuang, and those powerful princes and kings could also provide help to Jing Guo.

Now it is basically certain that some vassal lords also met Sheng Huang after Chen Shou yesterday. It may not necessarily be those vassal lords standing behind Jing Guo, but because of them, Sheng Huang's attitude towards Chen Guo , has changed to a certain extent.

According to Xu Jin's understanding at the moment, the tribute items were returned, which was a very interesting signal.

Not accepting the tribute this time means that Dasheng, as the co-owner, has no obligation to help Chen Guo in the future, and asking Chen Guo to send this tribute after three years is not only an encouragement, but also a telling Chen Guo , Dasheng did not abandon Chen Guo.

Based on these, Xu Jin now has a rough guess in mind about Dasheng's behavior of returning the tribute.

Shenghuang may be telling Chen Shou that Dasheng has already helped Chen Guo, but he will not always give help unconditionally, but needs Chen Guo to show his value.

In the next battle with Jingguo, if Chen Guo can't support the next three years, then Chen Guo's own value will not be much, and it's not worth Dasheng to pay more to help Chen Guo.

"Let's go!"

Passing the box in his hand to Si Bu behind him, Chen Shou turned around and said in a deep voice.

Xu Jin knew that Chen Shou's good mood might no longer exist at this moment. Then, the pressure returned to him, and he had to think carefully about how to deal with Jing Guo's attack after returning.

Hearing the words, the two figures in white clothes silently urged the white clouds under their feet, flew up with Xu Jin and others, and slowly left Yunshangjing.

Standing on the white clouds, Xu Jin looked at Yunshangjing, which was gradually disappearing in her field of vision. Of course, she felt a little bit of reluctance in her heart for this beautiful place like a fairyland, but this kind of reluctance was only out of a kind of beauty. appreciation.

The white clouds under his feet slowly descended, and Xu Jin gradually lost sight of the scene above the clouds. Not long after, the clouds landed steadily, and the two figures in white took a step back, facing Chen Shouxing After a salute, clouds appeared again under the two of them, and they flew back to Yunshangjing with them.

After everyone landed, Chen Shou sat in the chariot again. Xu Jin noticed that Chen Shou looked very serious when he entered the chariot.

Continue walking along the road from when they came, and after a while, everyone came to the entrance of God's Walk. During this short road, Xu Jin was still thinking about what happened just now.

He had already thought of Shenghuang's intention to return the tribute before. Although it was not necessarily correct, that was what Xu Jin could analyze for the time being. Now what Xu Jin was thinking about was Shenghuang's behavior and other things exposed.

Dasheng adopted a system of enfeoffment. As the co-owner of the world, Dasheng was the ruler of the whole world in name, but in fact the princes of various countries had the highest authority in their own countries. For the people of various countries, many people only know that there is a monarch in their own country, but they don't know that there is a grand emperor.

To maintain such a system, Dasheng not only needs to constantly strengthen the connection with other countries, but also needs to have absolute strength to be able to suppress all the vassal states.

But now, those powerful vassal lords began to provoke Dasheng. Sheng Huang's original plan to help Chen Guo also changed after meeting some vassal lords. This implicitly exposed one thing, that is Today's Dasheng may no longer have the strength to absolutely suppress these vassal states.

If this is not the case, regarding the matter between Chen Guo and Jing Guo this time, Dasheng can rely on supporting Chen Guo to let the weak Chen Guo quickly repel the relatively strong Jing Guo, and in this way, he will also show his strength. At the same time deter these vassal states.

Everyone soon arrived in front of the God's Way. This time, Wu Xing stepped forward to open the God's Way. Before stepping into the God's Way, Xu Jin turned his head and glanced at Yunshangjing again. It was still as beautiful as a fairyland, but at this moment Xu Jin In his eyes, it seemed as if he suddenly noticed a trace of twilight hidden under the beautiful scenery.
