Of course Zhao Rui understood what this guy meant, which was to give him this bag of pearls as a meeting gift. As for the gift to meet the emperor of Blue Lake Kingdom, he had to prepare it separately.
As a great merchant, King Zhao carried a lot of treasures with him, and any item he took out was priceless.
A bag of pearls is nothing to him, and he will get back the bag of pearls with interest sooner or later.
The two men who were called down also looked at Zhao Rui with a strange look and stretched out their palms. They were clearly asking for bribes in an upright manner.
Zhao Rui didn't care so much, he took out two crystal clear gems from his body and stuffed them in.
The two men suddenly became excited, nodding and bowing, and brought Zhao Rui into the imperial city.
For a small country located in a primeval jungle, it is remarkable to be able to build such a city, and their interior decoration is also extremely luxurious, with quite rare shells and various gemstones everywhere.
What makes Zhao Rui most incredible is that a statue standing in the middle of the imperial city is actually made of pure gold.
However, the local people's gold refining methods are still a bit poor, and they have not removed all the impurities. But even so, a statue like this is priceless.
"Are you here to pay tribute?" A rather wretched-looking man appeared next to Zhao Rui at some point. This guy had a sinister look on his face, which made people feel disgusted out of nowhere.
However, the clothes he wore were quite gorgeous, and he wore something like a crown on his head.
"That's right, it's me. I wonder who you are?"
The man coughed twice and grasped the long sword at his waist like a proud cock.
"I am the great prince of the Blue Lake Kingdom!"
The look of this guy immediately made Zhao Rui laugh so hard that he almost laughed out loud. Qinglan and Ziyun next to him even covered their mouths and snickered.
I originally thought that the emperor of this country, Yelang, was arrogant, but I didn't expect that the entire country was filled with an arrogant atmosphere, as if they were the most powerful empire in the world.
Zhao Rui coughed twice and pointed to the statue in front of him.
"Where did you get the materials for the statues?"
The eldest prince proudly pointed in the east direction.
"There is a gold mine there, and the ore reserves in it are very huge. After I become emperor, I must renovate the entire palace with gold."
He couldn't hold himself any longer, but he still suppressed his emotions and tried not to laugh out loud.
He had never seen such a stupid eldest prince, who not only told others about his gold reserves, but also generously decorated the palace with gold.
Isn't this the same as telling others that I have a treasure at home, come and grab it!
Zhao Rui took a deep breath, tried to calm down his emotions, and then took out a blood-red gem from his body.
"This is my special tribute to the eldest prince. I wonder if you can take me directly to see His Majesty."
The eldest prince's eyes were shining, he couldn't wait to take the red gem, and took Zhao Rui directly to the main hall.
It was the early morning court time in the Blue Lake Kingdom. The dying old man was sitting on the throne, very majestic, looking at the civil and military officials in the court.
When Zhao Rui walked into the hall, the old emperor couldn't help but frown.
"Didn't I tell you everything? All the envoys from Dashang have disappeared. Why did you bring them here again?"
The eldest prince hurriedly stepped forward, put his hand on his chest, and bowed respectfully.
