King Yama suddenly felt nervous when he heard this; since the Emperor of Fengdu had all opened a golden mouth, Xiao Shizhu had to give this money even if he had it, and he had to give it even if he didn't have it. If Xiao Shizhu dared to say no, the Emperor of Fengdu would definitely lead his troops personally.
Go to Jiuyou Kingdom to get it.
Although King Yama thought so, his face was still full of respect and opened his mouth and asked carefully: "Then your Majesty plans to ask Xiao Shizhu how much does he want?"
"Yes." After the Emperor of Fengdu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, his tone was neither slow nor anxious, and he said slowly as expected: "Then let's just 30 million taels of snowflakes. But a little bit is not much, but a little bit must be less.
.”.
Suddenly, a gust of evening breeze blew his and King Yama's robes. The temperature in the palace also suddenly dropped a little.
King Yama was so angry that he sucked a few breaths of air. He stared at the back of the Emperor of Fengdu in a daze and did not dare to say anything. Thirty million taels of silver were not a small amount of pens for the small Jiuyou Kingdom.
"This is probably the tax revenue of Jiuyou Kingdom for nearly a hundred years." King Yan Luo, who knew a little about the national conditions of the various vassal states, blurted out after a secret calculation in his heart, and said, "He Xiao Shizhu has
Is so much money?"
"I don't bother with him or not." The Emperor of Fengdu suddenly raised his eyebrows, and at the same time, he emitted a series of extremely sharp murderous auras on his body; the cold murderous aura was spreading rapidly towards all sides like a sky-high murderous aura.
In an instant, King Yama couldn't breathe, and scared him to shut up and take three steps back.
"What I want him to do is to do it as soon as he arrives!" After a moment, the Emperor of Fengdu put away his murderous aura and said coldly: "I plan to collect three thousand taels of silver within one month of Jiuyou Kingdom to send it to you as a gift for the purpose of
The military expenses for combating the rebels.”.
"No." King Yama did not dare to say a word, so he had to respond timidly. However, the space brought by the murderous aura before was accompanied by like a shadow, which made King Yama still feel scared after a moment, and his fingers kept trembling.
"Wait." Just as King Yama turned around and was about to leave, the Emperor of Fengdu suddenly called him again and in a deep voice, "After the money is delivered, you can't accept the hands of other Kings of Hell myself; in terms of money, I
I can trust you more. When the money arrives, I will take out five million from it and distribute it to all the princes to quell the rebellion. The remaining 25 million will be deposited into the national treasury."
"No." King Yama bowed his hand and bowed slowly.
"Go and write the order. In one month, I will see the three thousand taels of silver from Jiuyou Kingdom." The Emperor of Fengdu waved his hand and signaled King Yama to retreat, and stood there with his hands behind his back and left without moving, leaving him alone.
The last ray of sunset quietly dissipated from him without moving.
Night fell quietly, and the palace lanterns in the distance were already lit up by the palace slave maids. In the Six Heavenly Gods and Ghost Palace surrounded by night, the lights were like starlights flashing in the darkness, winding down the mountain in Luo.
A tributary galaxy of light gathered on Fengshan.
"No." King Yama responded again and turned around and left.
After walking a few steps, he seemed to think of something and suddenly stopped. After pondering for a while, he sighed, turned around and looked not far away, immersed in the outline of the figure of the Emperor of Fengdu under the night sky, and after raising his courage, he asked in a hoarse voice:
Your Majesty, I have a very disrespectful word. You have an endless life, but you are accompanied by various open and secret struggles every day. Have you ever been so angry that you would inadvertently get tired of such days, or
I'm tired."
In the darkness, after hearing this, the Emperor of Fengdu shook slightly, as if his body was slightly shaken. However, he remained silent and did not speak.
After waiting for a long time, seeing that he still didn't speak, King Yama said, "I will leave." Then he turned around and prepared to leave.
He turned around and heard the gentle answer from the Emperor of Fengdu from behind him: "No, never."
As the words came to the ground, a sigh sounded from the Emperor of Fengdu. In the thin night fog, it echoed gently in the palace with the smoke close to the ground.
King Yama stood there, stood back to back with the Emperor of Fengdu for a moment, and left quietly without saying a word.
After leaving the palace gate, he pinched a magic trick with his right hand, used the wind control technique, and rode the wind to fly towards Fengdu City at the foot of the mountain.
After a cup of tea, he came to the city. He collected his magic and landed steadily on the ground.
Looking around with caution for a while, and sure that he did not follow, King Yama just strode forward; within a moment, he hurriedly arrived at the entrance of Wudeng Lane in the north of the city.
King Yama, who was standing at the entrance of the alley, looked around for a long time, and then confirmed that Wugui followed again, and his body shook and quickly floated towards the depths of the alley.
In an instant, the figure of King Yama disappeared into the dark alley.
After a while, he came to the entrance of the small courtyard at the end of the alley, raised his hand and gently pulled the door knocker and knocked on the door.
"Who?" A moment later, a question came from the yard.
"Me." King Yama outside the door turned around and looked vigilantly at the boundless darkness behind him, and whispered: "It's me, Lao Bao."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was opened. Hei Wuchang's head looked out from the crack of the door. After looking at the King of Yama in front of him for a while, he asked: "What's the matter? Don't you sleep in the middle of the night?"
Although he had to be a little complaining, his eyes were full of vigilance. His eyes were around King Yama and looked behind him, constantly looking at the darkness in the alley.
"It's nothing big, I just want to ask you for some wine." King Yama answered lightly.
"Come on." Hei Wuchang slowly opened the door completely, and made way for a while, saying, "Old Xie is drinking inside too."
King Yama had a slight head, and he stepped over the threshold and entered the door. Hei Wuchang looked outside the door again and slowly closed the door.
In the main hall where the wine is so fragrant, Bai Wuchang sat on the chair with a wine jar, glanced at the other party's King of Yama, his brows frowned slightly and spread quickly; although the King of Yama was in the same group as them, he was secretly for Xiao Shizhu.
The ghost who protects the escort, but in order to keep his identity confidential, he rarely visits the residence of Heibai Wuchang. He came hurried tonight, but said that he was just here to drink, and Heibai Wuchang didn't believe it. I guess something bad happened.
"Come on." Hei Wuchang suppressed his curiosity and first picked up a wine jar from the pile of wine in the corner of the main hall, pulled it off and sealed the mud on his mouth, and put it on the table beside King Yan: "Drink it!
, the authentic Fengdu Lao Baigan."
King Yama turned his head slightly and glanced at the wine in the wine jar. Under the green ghost fire on the candlestick, the green ripples appeared, and then reached out to pick up the wine jar, raised his head and drank a big gulp of wine, smacked his lips and said softly:
The Emperor of Fengdu asked me to draft an order and ordered the young master to invest 30 million taels of silver as the military expenses to combat the rebels."
"What?" Bai Wuchang squirted out the wine that he had not had time to swallow in his mouth, and after it turned into a mist in his chest, he blurted out with Hei Wuchang.
"Shh!" King Yama glared at them, raised his middle finger with his right hand and leaned gently against his mouth, gestured a booing gesture, and got up to close the door.
He walked back to the chair again and sat down, his eyes swept across the black and white Wuchang's face, sighed, and continued to whisper: "There are few little ghosts in the Jiuyou Country, this money will probably empty the young master's treasury.
.”. As he spoke, his brows frowned again and did not unfold.
"He is not short of money, what do you want to do?" Hei Wuchang, who was full of puzzled faces, looked at Bai Wuchang, and then looked at King Yama with a thoughtful look on his face.
"He wants to use this to force the young master to show his loyalty." After a little thought, King Yamao analyzed urgently: "But once 30 million taels of silver is sent, the treasury of the Jiuyou Kingdom will inevitably be empty. If there is something wrong in the country, it is urgently needed to use money.
The Emperor of Fengdu will be a good person again and make an exception to give the young master the money to help him. In this way, the young master will be grateful to him."
"This trick may work for other princes, but it may not be necessary for the young master." Bai Wuchang smiled indifferently, put away his shock and disapprovingly, "Old Fan and I have seen the young master, he has the shrewdness of the old master.
He also has the calmness of the old mistress; will the young master of this mere scheme not see through? Don’t worry.” After speaking, he put down the wine jar in his hand, grabbed a handful of peanuts and started eating.
"What can I do if I see through it? The Emperor of Fengdu is so domineering, and I have to give the money as well." A hint of anxiety appeared on King Yama's face, and it became heavier and heavier: "I'm going to discuss something with you; I've thought about it all the way,
Can you find some reliable ghosts and give the money halfway. This is not because the young master stopped giving money, but because he lost it halfway, so that the Emperor of Fengdu was in silence, and then we quietly
I send the money to the young master.”
"Old Bao, are you going to kill the young master?" Bai Wuchang was stunned, looked at King Yan incredibly, and cursed in a deep voice: "If the money is not available, the Emperor of Fengdu will definitely go to get it in person. At that time, Jiuyou will be there at that time.
The country is full of sorrow, and the young master also has to face the Emperor of Fengdu in advance. What's your bad idea?" After saying that, he hummed heavily and turned his head angrily.
"Besides, the young master has a Xiao family army, which is well-equipped and novel in tactics and well-trained. Apart from the Fengdu Army, there is no rival in the underworld. The one who escorts the silver must be the elite of this army." Hei Wuchang also glared at King Yama and said in a deep voice.
: "Do you think the ghost messengers under our command are their opponents?"
"Oh." King Yama was a little calmer when he heard this. He put away his anxiety and thought for a while, spread his hands and said, "I'm too anxious and I can't think carefully; but I can't watch the young master suffer such a loss."
.
"What's wrong?" After a moment of silence, Bai Wuchang suddenly lit his eyes and looked at King Yama to cut the railway track: "Don't forget, the old master said that he should give the young master more hardship and temper his skills, so that he won't
You will be proud." Just as you speak, a trace of unbearableness flashed in your eyes.
