Chapter 562 Paying Tribute? Not Paying Tribute? Three thousand words
Their general thinking is that the first thing they will think of is that Ye Shengtian is a strong man who came from a higher plane.
In addition, they also gained another understanding, that is, Ye Shengtian was ruthless and had no scruples. Any lord god who came into his hands would be killed, as if the lord god was his natural enemy.
Therefore, all low-level Lord Gods are in danger and would not dare to mess with Ye Shengtian casually.
Ye Shengtian is a veritable god of death. The former god of death in the God Realm was nothing in front of Ye Shengtian. It can be said that Ye Shengtian's methods are getting more and more powerful now, and his growth rate is very terrifying. He can simply kill everything.
Anyone who goes against him will die.
He is God, the supreme God, the omnipotent God.
But in front of Ye Shengtian, these main gods are just stronger grasshoppers, and they can't jump around for long.
Ye Shengtian killed whenever he wanted without any scruples, and there was nothing worthy of his scruples.
Everything was going on in an orderly manner. The rectification work of more than a dozen cities was very fast. It only took less than half a month to complete it. Suddenly, countless powers of faith continued to gather on Ye Shengtian's head.
It was nearly ten times more than before.
Ye Shengtian greedily swallowed up these powers of faith, absorbed them all into his body, and then let the wolf-like holy power swallow them all up and grow stronger.
"Okay! Very good! The power of faith is indeed a good thing. There are already so many in just a few cities, so the power of faith in the entire divine domain must be tens of thousands of times greater than this, and it may even be more."
The more Ye Shengtian absorbs the power of faith, the more he feels that the power of faith is a good thing and cannot be missed. It is really sad, ridiculous, and shameful that these old people in the Divine Realm do not know that the power of faith is the greatest treasure of the Divine Realm.
Ye Shengtian ignored them and devoted himself wholeheartedly to absorbing the power of faith.
One month later.
Phoenix City has opened its city gates and is fully connected to the surrounding cities. Business travelers can continue to pass. During the previous war, passage was prohibited. Firstly, it was necessary for the war to prevent spies from entering and exiting and transmit intelligence. Secondly, it was to protect the safety of business travelers. After all,
During war, anything can happen, and murder and robbery often happen.
Phoenix City continued to maintain prosperity, and those dozen cities were accepted by Ye Shengtian, and heavy soldiers were sent to handle it. As for the Baiyu Dynasty, there was no decree on this matter, and seemed to be indifferent to it, but it had issued a decree before
A fatwa was issued but has not been withdrawn, which means that Ye Shengtian is still a wanted criminal of Baiyu Dynasty.
No one knows what the Baiyu Dynasty means now. Ye Shengtian has occupied more than a dozen cities. Originally, it was normal for them not to participate, but Ye Shengtian is a wanted criminal of the dynasty. They can use this reason to attack Ye Shengtian.
There was no movement from the Baiyu Dynasty, which caused all the forces outside to talk about it. Most people believed that the Baiyu Dynasty was still adhering to its previous style and indifferent to the mergers between the city lords.
One month today, autumn has arrived.
It's the crisp autumn weather, but a new problem has come, confusing many people.
It turns out that as soon as autumn comes, tribute must be paid to the Baiyu Dynasty. Failure to pay tribute is tantamount to rebellion and will be punished by the imperial army. However, paying tribute means that Phoenix City still has to look at the face of the Baiyu Dynasty.
Bow your head and bow your head.
Countless pairs of eyes looked over.
The owners of these eyes are various forces, and they all want to see what Phoenix City will do. Ever since the Beichen family suffered a big loss at the hands of Ye Shengtian, there has been no movement, and no other forces have come to trouble Phoenix City.
The Beichen family is one of the most powerful forces in the Baiyu Dynasty. They have suffered such a big loss, and other forces will naturally adopt a wait-and-see attitude.
Yu Qingyi is also worried about this matter. He has discussed it with Liu Yuyang many times. Liu Yuyang told him that originally Phoenix City should pay 60 million divine coins to Baiyu Dynasty, but now with the addition of those dozen cities,
There are more than 500 million divine coins in total.
Five hundred million divine coins is not a small amount, Yu Qingyi does not dare to make up his mind, he can only wait for Ye Shengtian to come out of seclusion.
On this day, Yu Qingyi was discussing things with Liu Yuyang and Feng Ying.
The current city lord of Phoenix City is Yu Qingyi, and Feng Ying is the deputy city lord. As for the original city lord of Phoenix City, Ye Shengtian sent him to Liumeng City to be the city lord there. Liumeng City is a prosperous area, no worse than Phoenix City
, Ye Shengtian saw that he had been the city lord for many years and had rich experience, so he sent him to Liumeng City.
At the same time, there were two main gods who went with him.
On the surface, it seemed that he was deliberately transferred away from Phoenix City, which made many wealthy families in the city and some of his old subordinates not understand. However, in fact, the benefits he received were absolutely huge. In order to compensate him, Ye Shengtian specifically asked Liu Feiyao to give him
He brought over two top-quality immortal weapons and a set of divine cultivation techniques.
It can be said that he left with a smile, because even his ancestor Liu Yuyang had not yet obtained the secrets of practice. He now understood what Ye Shengtian meant. It was obvious that he deliberately avoided everyone and went to Liumeng City to practice this set of secrets. Among them
Liu Feiyao’s contribution is definitely indispensable.
At this time, the three people in Yu Qingyi were sitting in the meeting hall.
"I have already understood that the Baiyu Dynasty usually sends officials to inspect the collection. Even if it is insufficient or does not pay, they will not embarrass you. Instead, they will report the facts to the superiors, and then the officials above will ask the emperor for instructions.
Let’s decide.”
On Tsing Yi Road.
"Yes, I did a rough calculation. This year we will pay 500 million divine coins, which is not a small amount."
"We can get the five hundred million divine coins. The problem is that if we offer it as before, it means that we are still ministers of the Baiyu Dynasty. I wonder if the young master will blame us for coming out?"
Feng Ying frowned and said.
Yu Qingyi said: "Young Master has been sending out thoughts some time ago, and we can't communicate with him at all. It's hard to report the situation here, but based on my understanding of Young Master, he will never surrender to Baiyu Dynasty, and he said
Maybe he also hopes to provoke a war and let the Baiyu Dynasty send troops to attack Phoenix City."
"Why start a war? We have just defeated the Beichen family. If the Baiyu Dynasty sends another army, it will be difficult to resist it."
Feng Ying said a little worried.
"Don't worry, it will take a long time for the Baiyu Dynasty's army to get here, so in my estimation, the emperor will pass down the decree and mobilize the troops from the surrounding cities to attack us. At the same time, he will recruit countless experts to come and join the battle.
"
"Yes, this is in line with their approach."
"If the imperial envoy arrives, how should we deal with it?"
"Let them live here first, saying that the quantity is too large and cannot be collected at the moment. We need to sell some things."
"What if they insist on leaving?"
"Then detain them all. This matter must be decided by the young master."
"Okay, let's do it like this."
Liu Yuyang and Feng Ying immediately expressed no objection.
"Report..."
Just when they were still discussing some details, a voice interrupted them. The person who walked into the meeting hall was a foreigner from the Liu family. He trotted in and came to the three of them with his head hanging, not daring to look at the people sitting there.
The three people standing there.
"What's up?"
Liu Yuyang asked.
"Reporting to the ancestors, the defenders at the city gate came to report that the imperial envoys were about to arrive at the city gate. They sent the news and asked the city lord and ancestors to go and greet them."
"What? I am asked to come to greet you, did you hear correctly?"
Liu Yuyang frowned, so frightened that the Liu family disciple almost knelt on the ground.
"Ancestor, you heard me right, I told you to go forward to greet me."
He was really frightened, and no one could speak a word without stammering.
"A small official of the imperial dynasty actually asked me to come to greet him. He is so arrogant. I will crush him to death."
Liu Yuyang was furious, and immediately stood up and walked out the door. From the looks of it, he wanted to teach the dynasty envoy a lesson. He was a strong fourth-level Lord God and the overlord of the party, so he was asked to greet a small financial official.
, which obviously does not take him seriously.
Even if you are the envoys of the dynasty and don't take anyone in your eyes, you can't help but take him in your eyes. To actually name a fourth-level master god to greet him is obviously an insult to him.
Just ask him how a strong Lord God could endure it.
Yu Qingyi winked at Feng Ying, and the two of them immediately stepped forward to persuade Liu Yuyang to calm down.
"Brother Liu, there's no need to argue with them, let's calm down."
"Yes, you are here now, and you just fell into their plan. They did this deliberately to anger you, so that Phoenix City will be found guilty of rebellion, which is the best excuse for the dynasty to send troops.
.”
"Huh! I'll let him go first."
Liu Yuyang sat back in her seat with a groan.
"Back off."
Yu Qingyi waved off the Liu family disciple.
Feng Ying said: "Then shall we go to greet him or not?"
Yu Qingyi's eyes flickered twice, "If you don't want to go, of course you can't go. Let Shou take them to the place where they stay and send heavy troops to guard them. It's called for safety reasons, but in fact they are put under house arrest and they are not allowed to come and go at will. Huh!
I still want to set up a barrier there, and I want to see what other tricks they can play."
Liu Yuyang said: "Yes, I will go and take charge personally. I don't believe they can fly out of my hand."
"Then let's do it this way."
Finally, Yu Qingyi made the decision.
With Liu Yuyang, the fourth-level main god, personally supervising them, they can't make any big trouble. Originally, Yu Qingyi wanted to send someone with him, but since Liu Yuyang is willing to go, it's okay to let Liu Yuyang go. After all, this is also a big event, and you must not do it.
Something went wrong.
Liu Yuyang, the fourth-level master god, personally takes action to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Although the envoys from the dynasty came with heavy troops and were escorted by powerful men every time, they never sent any powerful main gods. Only in times of trouble would they make an exception and send high-level gods. At other times, they would usually send low-level gods and middle-level gods.
Gods are rarely deployed, let alone the powerful main gods.
