Zhao Ruike doesn't care about so many places. He has traveled to countless places alone, let alone a small Blue Lake Country.
"Don't worry, old man. I'll come back as soon as I go! If their king understands this, I will forget the blame. But if he insists on going against my great merchant, then I will destroy his country."
After saying something very domineering, Zhao Rui took Ziyun and Qinglan and strode away from the village.
I don't know how long it took before Li Lanzhang realized how could just three people destroy a small country?
In panic, he hurriedly ran to find Dai Qisi.
Now the Great Shang has ruled a vast area south of Southern Xinjiang. Almost all tribes and kingdoms have surrendered to the Great Shang, but there are still some disobedient people who are unwilling to surrender.
If it were normal times, Zhao Rui would not waste so much time with them. He would either send a large army to destroy them directly, or use other methods to get them to join Dashang.
But now that there is a confrontation with the Mauryan Dynasty in the east, there is no way to escape, and there is no way for subsequent reinforcements to arrive in a short time. Zhao Rui can only let people like Li Lanzhang who have high local prestige run around, trying to bring everyone together
tribes and kingdoms under his command.
Unexpectedly, someone actually beat up the envoy he sent out. This was simply a slap in the face of Dashang.
Although the distance of two hundred miles is not that far, it is not easy to walk in this primitive jungle. It took the three of them two full days to reach the vicinity of Blue Lake Country.
This is a typical small country, consisting of a huge and prosperous main city and hundreds of surrounding villages and towns.
There are also a large number of primitive tribes scattered in the surrounding jungles, and these people have surrendered to the Blue Lake Kingdom.
Zhao Rui did not enter the main city directly, but stopped to rest in a village.
As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles. If you want to conquer this country, you must understand more detailed information.
In a small village shop, Zhao Rui sat there steadily, looking coldly at the people around him.
These guys should all be citizens of the Blue Lake Country. Each of them holds an extremely weird weapon in their hands and stares at Zhao Rui.
Although Qinglan and Ziyun were also sitting there, they had already grasped the swords at their waists and were ready to take action at any time.
At this moment, a sturdy middle-aged man slowly walked down from the second floor.
"We just beat away a few people from Dachang some time ago, but we didn't expect them to come again today! You guys are so shameless. Do we have to join you because our Blue Lake Country is so powerful?"
Upon hearing this, the tea in Zhao Rui's mouth almost spurted out.
Originally, he thought that this country was disobedient and that was why he was unwilling to join Dashang. After a long time of quarrel, they actually thought that they were very powerful.
Such Yelang's arrogant behavior immediately made Zhao Rui feel funny.
"This king is not here to ask you to join, but to pay tribute to you!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present widened their eyes. Before they could react, Zhao Rui threw a bag of pearls on the table.
Such a rare thing suddenly made everyone's eyes light up, and the middle-aged man who just spoke rushed towards it.
"So I'm here to pay tribute. You should have told me earlier! But to meet His Majesty, just a bag of pearls is not enough."
Putting away the bag of pearls very rudely, the middle-aged man waved to the two people upstairs.
