Great Swordsman

Chapter 271 The Tribute to Chaotianque (for Subscription)

"I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Chu."

Li Mu stepped forward with a smile: "I heard that His Royal Highness King Chu and His Royal Highness King Shu have been borrowing money everywhere recently. Unfortunately, Xiaguan won nearly 500 million taels of gold from the Western Regions a few days ago. If the two princes need it, Xiaguan You can subsidize the two highnesses with a few taels of silver."

Li Mu had a friendly smile on his face, as if he met a friend who was in trouble and wanted to stab his friend twice!
Ji Changqiu and Ji Han's faces were as gloomy as pots!
They each lost tens of millions of taels of gold this time, and you fucking subsidized a few taels of silver. It's clear that they want to laugh at them!

But at this time, he couldn't argue with him, otherwise, who else would dare to lend them money?
With dark faces, the two gritted their teeth to hold back their hatred towards Li Mu, and walked towards the direction of the third master and the third master without squinting.

"Li Jushi, why are you doing this?" Quan Yu sighed and said, "The two Highnesses are princes after all, and they are blood and blood relatives of His Majesty. "

Quan Yu didn't know the inside story, and Li Mu didn't argue with him, he said with a smile: "What the Taoist priest taught is that when I find an opportunity, I will..."

I will kill them!

Ka Ka Ka!
At this moment, Qingxiao Gate opened.

At the same time, the first ray of sunlight in the sky penetrated the foggy sky and just shone in front of Qingxiaomen. There were big gold and copper nails on Qingxiaomen, which shone brightly in the sunlight. The gate of the heavenly palace is wide open to all living beings!

"The auspicious time has come, all the gentlemen enter the palace~" Zhang Xi's shrill cry came from the main hall of Chaotianque.

All the princes and ministers immediately stopped talking and entered the palace in an orderly manner.

When the Zi Fei nobles of the Manchu Dynasty enter, they will be the missions of various countries.

There are many missions from various countries, and there are more than a thousand people in total.

When they enter the Qingxiao Gate, it will be 72 Disha.

"Everyone, please enter the palace." The little eunuch who was in charge of receiving them said respectfully.

"Miss Meng, please!" Qin Hu said.

Meng Qiuhan turned around to look at Li Mu, and said with a smile, "Young Master Li please first."

"Next..." Li Mu just wanted to say a few words of politeness, Ying Xiaoyue, who was dressed in a golden dress and had an arrogant face, had already snorted coldly, and strode into the Qingxiao Gate without hesitation.

Li Mu and Meng Qiuhan looked at each other and smiled.

Entering the Qingxiao Gate, you will see a huge bluestone square, which is nearly twice as large as the square in front of the Tianyuan main hall, and can accommodate tens of thousands of people.

Li Mu looked around, and saw that the surrounding square was full of Imperial Forest Army armed with Zhanglong fine iron spears and wearing black armor, their aura was seven points more severe than that of Li Mu's decisive battle.

Under the leadership of the little eunuch, the crowd crossed the square.

At the end of the square is a 200-meter-wide Hanbaishi steps, with a total of 99 steps, as if reaching directly into the sky and connecting with the sky!

The steps are divided into three sections, every 330 steps, there is a section of flat section, and there are roads on both sides connecting the rear palace.

In addition, at the end of both sides of the steps, every third step stood a Qingjia imperial forest army holding a dragon flag. Judging from his momentum, he was even better than the black armor!
There is a breeze blowing, and the dragon flag is waving, so spectacular!
There is a huge stone picture on each of the three steps, which are dragon, phoenix and unicorn. The three huge stone pictures divide the 200-meter-wide Hanbaishi steps into left and right.

Li Mu stood at the bottom and looked up, only to see the dignitaries of Manchao Zifei and the diplomatic missions from various countries, one on the left and one on the right, climbing up like ants.

Against their backdrop, the three stone pictures in the middle are even more majestic!

Is this the Chaotian Tower... When Li Mu's heart fluttered, the little eunuch reminded him: "Everyone, please go to the left."

The missions of various countries took the steps on the right, and the princes of the Manchu Dynasty walked on the left. They were invited by the court, so they naturally had to take the steps on the left.

Everyone climbed up the steps and walked for half a quarter of an hour before they finally came to the dragon stone picture on the top.

But here, Li Mu has already seen the little emperor Ji Xuan and the empress Qin Mengyao.

The two were sitting in the huge dragon and phoenix chair at the end of the stone steps, looking down at them!

Sitting there, you can have a clear view of the people climbing below, and the people below can only find their existence when they walk up to the top dragon stone picture!
This is the real Chaotianque!

Ji Xuan's dragon robe today is even more mighty. Under the sun, his whole body is almost glowing, shaking so much that people can't look directly at it, and there is also a vast dragon's power, which permeates from him. It is not strong, but it is heart-pounding. tremble.

Qin Mengyao on the side was wearing a red phoenix skirt, gold hairpins on her head, blood-colored plum blossoms on her brows, and her beautiful face with a little makeup on. Terrifying Kamui!
Behind the dragon and phoenix chair, several eunuchs with deep cultivation, as well as plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemums can be vaguely seen.

"Everyone, it's ok." The little eunuch reminded softly, it's ok to stand here, if you go any further, you will break the rules.

Only then did Li Mu move his eyes away from the emperor and queen, and he looked at the steps on the left, where Yan Wang Ji Han, Chu Wang Ji Changqiu, and Shu King Ji Hui stood on the first step.

Below are Taifu Jiang Mingyuan, Taishi Pang Weiran and Taibao Gongsunzhi.

Further down are Taiwei Xiao Mo, Situ Yangxiu and Sikong Zhou Ziqiong.

After that came the left and right prime ministers, followed by the Dukes of Cheng and Zhang Qi, and then the ministers and military generals such as Liubu Shangshu and Jiusi Siqing.

And at the end, it was the 72nd place where Li Mu was located.

Looking at the steps on the right, the missions of various countries have also stood still. The ones standing on the first step are naturally the Mongolian Yuan and the Huns, followed by Ayesu, the son of the lion king of the Western Regions, and the princess of Loulan, Peacock, and others.

Li Mu looked one by one, and saw acquaintances in the middle and lower positions: Nanzhao Princess Bai Sining and Bai Shu.

Today, Bai Sining was wearing a white glutinous skirt and a light veil on her face, revealing only a pair of shining pure black eyes, looking around curiously.

Because of the large number of missions from various countries, Bai Sining stood at a lower position than Li Mu, so Li Mu could clearly see the light in her eyes, like a little white rabbit entering the city for the first time.

Next to Bai Sining is Bai Shu who has restored Nanzhao costumes. Although she is nearly [-] years old, she has creamy skin and a tall figure. She has a pair of round, white and firm long legs under the blue skirt, showing the charm of a mature woman vividly.

Bai Shu noticed Li Mu's gaze, and turned her head to look, Li Mu hurriedly looked away from her long legs.

At this time, Zhang Xigong, the chief inspector of ceremonies, began to scream like a duck again: "Bye~~"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!!" The princes and ministers on the left bowed together and shouted long live.

"Bye~~~" Zhang Xi screamed again.

"My ministers see His Majesty the Great Emperor!!" The missions from various countries on the right also saluted in unison.

"It's quite spectacular." Li Mu said softly to Quan Yu, "Shall we pay homage too?"

Quan Yu shook his head slightly: "We are reinforcements invited by the imperial court, so there is no need for these etiquettes."

Sure enough, Zhang Xi didn't shout 'Bai' to them.

"My lord, my lord." At this moment, Bai Longma's voice suddenly came from below.

"Dragon horse?" Li Mu turned to look, but saw a group of people, led by a young eunuch, pouring out from the path next to the first step.

The white dragon horse seemed to want to come up to stand with Li Mu, but under the dissuasion of the little eunuch, he could only stand under the '72 Disha'.

Li Mu looked around and found many acquaintances, Master Huineng's disciple Zhizhu monk, and Quanzhen Taoist disciple Zhenqian Taoist priest.

Seeing really greedy, Li Mu immediately thought of Quan Ding.

That day at Jianjiang Villa, Quan Ding found him and asked him to give up his place in the cave. The two quarreled. If Zhen Qiang hadn't rushed to interrupt them, they might have started fighting at that time!
At this time, Quan Yu said to Li Mu via voice transmission: "This is the monk His Majesty the Emperor invited from various sects and aristocratic families to observe the ceremony, and they all have special skills."

In order to deal with the difficulties of the nations... Li Mu nodded slightly at Bai Longma, and then asked directly: "Prince Quan Yu, I remember that there is a Taoist priest named Quan Ding in Shenqing Temple, and he is also a member of the local list. meet him?"

"Senior Brother Quan Ding is in seclusion and cannot participate in today's big tribute." Quan Yu glanced at Li Mu and said, "Li Jushi, do you have any misunderstandings with Senior Brother Quan Ding? , I have a lot of complaints about you."

"In my opinion, Quan Ding is selfish and not like a Taoist." Li Mu sneered and told him what Quan Ding did in Jianjiang Villa, including Quan Ding's forcing him to give up his mind and see the cave. Quota, and in the name of Quanzhen Daoist, asking for the demigod soldier Bai Shuang!
After Quan Yu listened, he couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Brother Quan Ding is indeed a little too much, Li Jushi, Pindao will definitely bring your words to the senior brother in charge."

Li Mu looked at him worriedly: "Daoist Quan Yu, if you do this, it won't affect your relationship with Quan Ding, will it?"

Quan Yu was funny and annoyed: You told Pindao these things, didn't you just want to use Pindao's mouth to tell the elder brother in charge?
Besides, if Pindao doesn't do it, Bai Longma will do it too, and with Bai Longma's character, if he knows these things, he will definitely settle accounts with Senior Brother Quan Ding in retrospect, and I'm afraid the mountain gate will not be clean by then.
Hey!
Quan Yu shook his head and sighed.

When the two of them whispered the sound transmission, the great tribute also began.

The third prince, the chief envoy of the Meng Yuan Mission, said in a loud voice: "Meng Yuan and Daqian have known each other for hundreds of years, and they are a country of brothers, a country of alliance..."

After a lot of official talk, Tu Lie finally talked about the tribute offerings: "This time, I will pay tribute to the Yuan Dynasty with three white lotuses in the Dagan Tianchi Lake! A thousand catties of spiritual water in the Tianchi Lake! Three magic knives from the Demon Cave..."

Du Lie mentioned more than a hundred kinds of spiritual objects in one breath, and Li Mu roughly calculated that they were worth at least 100 million taels of gold!
Then came the Xiongnu, and the main envoy, Tong Dayang, came forward, and he didn't speak official words. After all, there were more than 200 missions below who wanted to pay tribute.

Twist the sheep and said: "The Xiongnu's tribute is a thousand catties of blood and stones! Hundreds of broken knives! Ten wolf monsters..."

Hearing the tribute from the Xiongnu, Li Mu couldn't bear it anymore. He sent a sound transmission to Quan Yu and asked, "Can a broken knife pay tribute?"

He thought of the broken knife in the sword demon's hand, could it be mass-produced?

Quan Yu said: "The remnant knife should have come from that Jedi, and it contains the aura of the sword. A hundred remnant knives should allow at least one person to forge a complete sword! It's priceless."

Li Mu's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he shook his head immediately. He already had Sword Sha, so even if he got the broken knife and absorbed Sword Sha, the gain would not be worth the loss.

Then, the chief envoys of the missions from various countries recited their own tributes one by one. Li Mu missed a sentence, but he also found a lot of good things. Medicine, an extremely rare white cactus fruit, judging by its function, it feels somewhat similar to a doll.

Another example is the country of Uzi, the tribute of this country, there is actually a coral excavated from the desert!
You must know that coral is only found in the ocean, and it will appear in Uzi, which only shows that Uzi was an ocean a long, long time ago!
Perhaps, under the country of Uzi, there are still remnants of ancient oceans, such as... underground lakes?

Li Mu has always been very interested in these things.

If possible, he would never mind going to Songyi Songwuzi Country.

For another example, there is a huge spiritual jade mine in the ancient country of Cheshi. They dug out a large amount of chalcedony in the mine, and in these chalcedony, there is the evil spirit of the jade dragon!
Li Mu didn't know how powerful this evil spirit was, but it sounded very mysterious!

Among the spirit objects tributed by the Giant Elephant Kingdom, there is a batch of ruby ​​agate. According to the envoy of the Giant Elephant, the red jade agate is full of blood, and it is an extremely precious and rare blood demon!
Li Mu's eyes lit up!
He owns the dragon blood demon himself, and has seen the golden cicada blood demon of the sword demon, so he pays great attention to the blood demon!
It's a pity that the people of the Giant Elephant Kingdom didn't specify the type of blood demon in the ruby ​​agate.

"If I have a chance, I have to go to the Giant Elephant Kingdom." Li Mu thought to himself.

Time passed, and as the envoys from various countries reported the tribute one by one, the sun had also risen, and it was almost noon.

Ouch, doll!
Li Mu suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly took out the wooden bowl, but saw a thumb-sized doll lying comfortably in the wooden bowl, with a roast duck in her left hand and a roast duck in her right hand, and a pile of dolls under her body. Roast Duck!

She put all the roast duck that Li Mu bought for her in the wooden bowl, even if she stayed in it for three days and three nights, she wouldn't be afraid of starving.

Li Mu saw that the doll was enjoying himself and was not thinking about it, so he put the wooden bowl in his arms with confidence.

At this time, it was Nanzhao's turn to pay tribute, and Bai Sining said in a pretty voice, "Nanzhao paid tribute to one Daqian Golden Gu, one hundred Silver Gu, one hundred catties of Ambergris..."

Li Mu sounded a little strange, so he asked Quan Yu through sound transmission: "Daoist Quan Yu, didn't Nanzhao practice with totems? Why do they still raise Gu?"

Quan Yu replied: "There has always been a saying in Nanzhao that gold Gu is the best, followed by silver Gu. As for whether they will use monster insects to raise Gu after the spiritual energy recovers, I don't know."

Li Mu nodded slightly, and looked around for a chance to ask Bai Sining to find out.

Then, Li Mu heard that among the tributes from the Ghost Kingdom, there are seven insects and seven ghost flowers, and if you take them, you can get a seven-orifice exquisite heart!
Li Mu looked at the princess of the ghost country that Kai Kai was talking about, and felt a chill in his heart for no reason. Judging from the names of the seven insects and seven ghost flowers, it didn't seem like he could get the seven-orifice exquisite heart.

Could it be that Ghost Country wanted to take the opportunity to poison the little emperor to death?
Li Mu shook his head, thinking that it was impossible for Gui Guo to do this, otherwise it would definitely usher in a thunderstorm.

However, judging from his contact with the ghost country people, it seems that he will do this.

While thinking wildly, the envoys of the various countries finally finished reading their respective tributes.

But next, is the real highlight!
These envoys are really willing to hand over the tribute like this?
