It has been a year since the Chu State and the Great Chu State were established. In this year, the national power has become unprecedentedly strong. More importantly, in terms of people's livelihood, the Great Chu State has achieved what the Shang State did not achieve before.
For this reason, due to the promotion of Chu Lingmi, there has never been a case of people starving to death in Da Chu. The country's cohesion is extremely strong, and it also supports the King of Chu.
In the past year, with the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the promotion of Chu Lingmi, and the construction of practice schools, the entire Chu State has also entered an era of universal practice.
We can also see that monsters and humans live in harmony. In the past, there were insect and locust plagues, and monsters helped to control them. Monsters also helped in farming.
The registered monsters were even incorporated into Dachu's battle order and residents' order, and the country's domestic demand was extremely rich.
However, because of such wealth, there is no airtight wall in the world.
Scorpio Kingdom, in the palace.
A middle-aged man wearing a black royal robe, tall and dignified, looked at the bowl of Chu Ling rice on the table with deep eyes.
"Is this Chu Lingmi of Chu State?" Scorpio King Yang Hong asked, looking at the minister kneeling in front of him.
"That's right, Your Majesty, you can try it," the minister said.
Yang Hong picked up a small ball of Chu Ling rice with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and chewed it carefully. The Ling rice was soft and elastic, with a sweet and glutinous texture. It was a pleasure to chew.
After swallowing it, a rather pure spiritual energy of plants and trees was born from the body, and the amount of spiritual energy was very rich.
"The rice is really good." Yang Hong couldn't help but sigh.
The minister said: "The spiritual energy contained in this kind of rice can even be called a low-level elixir. What's more important is that people eat it regularly without any poison. It is very helpful for spiritual practice. I don't know how great it is."
Where did the country get this kind of Linggu rice?
Nowadays, cultivation is being fully promoted in the Great Chu State, and the maturity rate is astonishing. During the two mature seasons of spring and autumn, two crops are harvested in one season. If this continues, I am afraid that the Great Chu State will be able to surpass the Southern Wilderness countries in less than ten years."
Yang Hong said in a deep voice: "Is there such a spiritual rice trade in this great Chu country?"
"No." The minister shook his head and said: "The great Chu State knows the importance of this kind of spiritual rice. Foreign trade is prohibited throughout the country. Moreover, the caravans leaving the customs are strictly inspected and Chu Lingmi is prohibited from being circulated to other countries.
, our spies finally got ten kilograms of spiritual rice and returned over the mountains and ridges.
However, after our planting research, we found that there is no way to grow it successfully. The only grain seeds that can be grown into spiritual rice are owned by the Chu royal family, and they are sold to the common people at low prices every year."
"Your Majesty, we must not allow the Chu State to develop like this. Although the Shang State has been destroyed, it is the predecessor of the Chu State after all. Many contradictions still exist. In the future, if the Chu State becomes strong and powerful through this, its ambitions will inevitably become clear!" This minister said
Worried.
The Scorpion King looked at Chu Lingmi in deep thought, took another bite, and then his eyes turned cold, and said: "Go and inform the civil and military officials that there will be a court meeting at noon, and at the same time, contact the ambassadors of Beiye Kingdom and Nandou Kingdom."
get in touch."
"Yes!" The minister bowed respectfully.
Scorpio King Yang Hong took another mouthful of Chu Lingmi's rice and murmured: "What a good thing, Xiang Liang. If you, the great Chu State, want to monopolize this kind of treasure and develop it secretly, you are talking nonsense!"
In the palace of the Great Chu King.
King Xiang, who wears a black hair crown and a black wolf robe with silver patterns, is sitting on the throne.
And below, there are two people standing, one is Zhao Mu, and the other is a young man with a green wolf tattoo on his face and a wild look, the wolf demon, Qingfeng!
However, Qingfeng is now also a member of the Sirius tribe, and his bloodline has transformed.
Qingfeng knelt on the ground, and King Xiang asked: "Qingfeng, you said your people discovered that there was a demon in the Wu Mountains who traveled over the mountains to the Scorpio Kingdom?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, it was already three days ago. The tribesmen I arranged in Yaowu Mountains were seriously injured to report, but I was unable to intercept that person." Qingfeng said in a deep voice.
On the side, Zhao Mu said: "Your Majesty, this time coincides with the time when the family in Beicheng was killed and Chu Lingmi was lost some time ago. I'm afraid it's the same person. The other person who chose to go from Yaowu Mountains must be from the Scorpio Kingdom.
, nine times out of ten, they are secret agents of the Scorpio Kingdom."
King Xiang frowned and said in a slightly cold voice: "So, Chu Lingmi's affairs have been leaked."
Zhao Mu nodded, immediately knelt down and said, "My subordinates failed in their duties in monitoring and tracking. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Xiang Wangdao: "I can't blame you for this matter. As soon as the opponent succeeded, he immediately fled to the Yaowu Mountains. You didn't have the chance or time to react. Get up."
"Come here!" King Xiang shouted.
Outside the palace, the guards immediately entered the palace and waited respectfully for orders.
"Tianqing Department, Qing Meng, please bring Wang Tian and Long Yue back to the court to discuss matters, and ask Man He from the Fang Dark Network to come see me as soon as possible!"
King Xiang ordered.
"promise!"
The palace guard immediately went to inform people.
"Your Majesty, it is said that General Wang Tian who is stationed at Humen Border Pass and General Long Yue at Beiguan are planning to use troops against the Scorpion Kingdom?" Zhao Mu asked in surprise.
But then he immediately bowed his head and shut up. The question he asked was too confidential.
However, King Xiang did not treat his loyal subordinate who had risked his life to protect his young master as an outsider. He said: "It's not me who wants to use troops against the Scorpio Kingdom. It's the Scorpio Kingdom. I'm afraid I won't be able to sit still."
A ray of light burst out from Xiang Wanghu's eyes, and an extremely strong aura was revealed, saying: "Chu Lingmi is of great importance. It is not only related to people's livelihood, but also affects the spiritual world. It is also a powerful strategic resource. Scorpio Kingdom, Yang Hong,
I know him too well. He will definitely not be able to bear it when he knows Chu Lingmi’s existence.
If the person who escaped is from the Scorpion country, then the fuse of a war has been lit, and it is only a matter of time before it explodes."
Zhao Mu frowned and said: "Nowadays, the power of Dachu State, although it has only been established for more than a year, is much stronger than that of Dashang before. With you here, we will not be afraid of this Scorpio State."
King Xiang tapped his fingers on the armrest, narrowed his eyes and said: "How could Yang Hong not know that it is impossible for him to conquer Chu by himself, but what if he finds an alliance? Chu Lingmi's resources are enough for others
I’m also jealous.”
"You mean, he will ally with other countries to attack Dachu?" Zhao Mu's face changed slightly.
"Nine times out of ten." King Xiang nodded.
At this time, a person entered the hall. He was a middle-aged Taoist named Haicheng Taoist who was holding a cane and wearing a Taoist robe.
"Prime Minister, what's the matter?" King Xiang asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, a war in our country of Chu is coming!"
Taoist Haicheng said in a deep voice: "I looked at the sky, and in the stars above Dachu, there were three waves of killing energy, located in the north, south, and west, respectively!"
