In the capital, five days have passed since the fire at Yin's house.

For five days, Li Ziye never left Li Garden again.

In the west wing, among the criss-crossing red lines, a pig was lying inside. Halfway through, his energy was exhausted and he was too tired to stand up.

Bai Wangyu silently walked into it and dragged the pig out.

A long trail of blood was drawn on the ground.

Click!

On the stone steps, Li Ziye took out a few large herbs and started chewing them.

On the side, Bai Wangyu wiped his sword and said in a neutral tone, Brother Li, how many days have passed, have you made any progress?

A little bit. Li Ziye gritted his teeth and said.

Oh, progress has been made, I thought there was no change. Bai Wangyu said in a strange tone.

Li Ziye was so angry that he wanted to kill the guy in front of him with the carrot in his hand.

Listen, is this what people say?

Can you blatantly laugh at others just because you are talented?

In five days, from thirteen steps to seventeen steps now, the progress is quite obvious.

Lao Bai, you will soon be impressed by me!

Li Ziye took a bite of the big medicine and said inarticulately, "Your Majesty has issued an order to summon the envoy from the temple today. As long as the medicine king comes to Dashang, I will be able to get it. At that time, I will open another meridian and practice

The speed will definitely increase greatly.

Oh, there are so many ways to connect the three meridians! Bai Wangyu said with a smile on his face but not on his skin.

roll!

Li Ziye spit out one very elegantly and said.

This man is so annoying!

Little Red Riding Hood is no longer the pure little angel she was when she first came to Liyuan.

I don't know what's going on at the palace either.

Was the King of Medicine brought from the temple dedicated to the Shang court?

Li Ziye took the medicine one mouthful at a time, his mind no longer in the west chamber, wishing he could grow wings and fly to the palace right now.

Dashang Palace.

Towering and majestic halls rise one after another. Among the palaces, an unusually majestic hall stands. In front of it, thousands of layers of white marble stone steps lead from the Xuanwu Gate to Tianting, which is extremely domineering.

The Great Shang Dynasty was a thousand-year dynasty that flourished in the Spring and Autumn Period. Even though dynasties changed in the world, the Great Shang Dynasty remained immortal.

For thousands of years, there has been no force in Kyushu that can compare with the Great Shang, except for the Heavenly Mandate Temple in the Western Regions.

Unlike the Great Shang who ruled the country by law, the Temple of the Heavenly Mandate was a country of faith. It believed in the God of Light and had tens of millions of believers. In terms of appeal, it was even more terrifying than the Great Shang.

Over the past thousand years, large-scale wars have broken out between Dashang and the Temple of Heaven, with each winning and losing. However, in the past hundred years, the two sides have gradually become more peaceful, and large-scale conflicts have become less and less common.

However, both Dashang and Tianyudian knew that this was just the calm before the storm.

The two sides have different beliefs and their fundamental interests conflict with each other. War is only a matter of sooner or later.

If the Shang Dynasty wanted to expand its territory, Tianyu Palace would be the biggest obstacle.

Similarly, if the Tianman Temple wants the light it believes in to spread across all nine states, the great merchants are also the obstacles that need to be eradicated the most.

Therefore, today, the Son of God of the Heavenly Mandate Palace comes to Dashang, rather than visiting, it is better to test the truth.

In the Fengtian Hall, the officials of the great Shang Dynasty were lined up on both sides. On the dragon chair, the Shang Emperor was sitting there quietly. He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and looked about forty.

An indescribable sense of oppression.

In the middle of the main hall, the envoys from the Tianyu Palace saluted respectfully.

The Temple of Heavenly Mandate did not have a subordinate relationship with Dashang, so Yan Xiaoyu, Liu Rongnu and others only bowed to Emperor Shang but did not kneel.

Your Majesty the Great Shang, during this trip, I brought three treasures to my temple.

In the middle of the hall, Yan Xiaoyu, who was wearing a moon-white robe, looked at Emperor Shang on the dragon throne and said with a smile:

Water and fire beads are rare treasures produced in the far west where yin and yang meet. If you hold them, they will not be invaded by water or fire;

The Mingguang Armor was forged by the previous master of our temple. Wearing it makes you invulnerable;

Snow Lotus Heart, a thousand-year-old medicine king born in the divine peaks of the Western Regions, can make human flesh and bones alive after taking it.

While speaking, behind Yan Xiaoyu, three temple knights opened three wooden boxes. Inside, three treasures lay quietly, attracting the attention of everyone in the hall.

The ministers who can stand in the Fengtian Temple are all important ministers of the Great Shang Dynasty. They have a distinguished status and have much higher vision than ordinary people. However, after seeing the three treasures presented by the temple, their eyes can't help but show a burning feeling.

On the contrary, on the dragon chair, Emperor Shang always looked very calm, his eyes quietly watching the various expressions of the people below, without any disturbance in his expression.

He wanted to see what Tianyu Palace wanted to do!

Offering treasures? It’s just rhetoric.

In the middle of the hall, Yan Xiaoyu slightly curved his mouth after seeing the greed in the eyes of the ministers.

As expected, these officials of the great merchants were all greedy for money and profit.

Your Majesty the Great Shang, our Heavenly Mandate Temple wants to dedicate these three treasures to the Great Shang court, but...

After introducing the treasure, Yan Xiaoyu bowed his hand in a bow, his tone suddenly changed, and he said with a smile, as a return gift, I, Tianyudian, also want to ask for a treasure from Your Majesty.

What treasure?

On the dragon chair, Emperor Shang spoke with an indifferent expression.

The ninth princess of the Great Shang Dynasty.

A smile as warm as the sun appeared on Yan Xiaoyu's face, and he said, "As the son of the God of the Heavenly Mandate Palace, I propose to His Majesty the Great Shang for marriage, and these three treasures will be used as betrothal gifts for my temple."

As soon as he said this, everyone in the court was shocked. Everyone in the hall looked at Yan Xiaoyu in front of him, with shocked expressions on their faces.

The divine son of the Heavenly Mandate Palace wants to marry the Ninth Princess?

The drunkard's intention is not to drink.

In front of the ministers, several King Wu, who had not spoken to each other until now, looked at each other, with a flash of light in their eyes, and they quickly realized what the purpose of the Tianyu Palace was.

Fengyang City!

The Ninth Princess is deeply loved by His Majesty, and one year ago, he granted Fengyang City as a fiefdom. Although the Ninth Princess has never been to Fengyang, in name, Fengyang City is indeed the Ninth Princess's fiefdom.

Moreover, Fengyang City is in the western border of Dashang, close to the border, and has a special location. It can be said to be an important place for military strategists.

Theoretically, when a princess gets married, the fiefdom will also give her a dowry and a consort.

It can be said that from the moment His Majesty granted the land to the Ninth Princess, he never thought about letting the Ninth Princess marry in a foreign country.

Yan Xiaoyu wants to be punished for asking to marry the Ninth Princess!

Sure enough, on the Dragon Throne, Emperor Shang frowned immediately when he heard the request from the Son of God of the Heavenly Mandate Palace.

Your Majesty the Great Merchant.

Below, Yan Xiaoyu looked at the reactions of the great merchants and ministers, and the smile on his face did not diminish at all. He continued, I know that the ninth princess is the apple of your majesty's eye, so I will not forcefully marry him. How about this? There are three problems with my temple.

In three days, if the great merchant can answer, the three treasures behind me will be presented unconditionally. If no one among the great merchants can answer, your majesty will agree to my marriage proposal from the temple. Of course, these three treasures will still be regarded as

How about a betrothal gift to the Great Shang court? Do you dare to make this bet with me?

presumptuous!

As soon as Yan Xiaoyu finished speaking, the expressions of the ministers in the palace suddenly changed. An old minister stood up and angrily said, "How dare a mere junior to talk to my Majesty the Great Shang like this? Didn't your palace master teach you the rules?"

Hearing this, Yan Xiaoyu's eyes flashed with coldness, and he quickly suppressed it.

Lu Qing, step back first.

On the dragon throne, Emperor Shang spoke calmly.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Below, Lu Siqing bowed respectfully and then stepped back again.

In the main hall, the faces of the other ministers were not very good at this time. The Son of God of the Tianyu Palace was too presumptuous, and he dared to be so aggressive even in the palace of his great merchant.

Before the ministers, the expressions of several King Wu also condensed slightly, this matter was not easy to handle.

If His Majesty refuses, there is no doubt that these people in the temple will publicize this matter with embarrassment, saying that the Great Shang court is cowardly and does not dare to accept the bet from the Tianyu Temple. By then, the court will be greatly embarrassed.

However, if His Majesty agrees, if he loses the bet, the consequences will be equally disastrous.

Although it is normal for the royal family to marry a daughter, the Ninth Princess is different after all.

Your Majesty, Dashang, what do you think?

In the middle of the main hall, Yan Xiaoyu saw that the monarchs and ministers in the main hall had not replied, and to add fuel to the fire, he smiled and said, the Great Shang court always prides itself on having wise kings and wise ministers, and the Taixue Palace of Great Shang is also known to be full of talents.

The Confucian leader of the Confucian School is known as the wisest person in the world. Why is it that a small gambling game puts you in such a difficult position now?
