Repugnant Gateway Chapter 127

Regarding You Nation, he had some understanding of them.

However, he basically didn't care about the matters of these small countries when he was first in the Great Xi.

Occasionally, they would only chat after meals.

As such, his understanding of Quiet Nation was far inferior to Zhuang Feifei's.

Zhuang Fei Fei saw the excellent expression on An Zaiyue's face and knew that he must have thought of the death of the headmaster Qiu Changchen.

Zhuang Feifei stretched out his hand to grasp the hand of An Zhe, and found it was a little cold.

""Relax.""

Only then did An Zeng come to his senses, and he smiled apologetically.

Zhuang Feifei's hands were soft and warm.

Seeing that An Zaihai had recovered, Zhuang Feifei withdrew her hand and pretended as if nothing had happened. She raised her hand and smoothed the hair on her forehead, ""This time, it is said that the Kingdom of You's diplomatic mission came to Fang Gengcheng to negotiate with us.""

A few years ago, a prince of the Da Xi family came to the Yan Kingdom and said that he wanted to intervene in the war, but he left shortly after.

However, how important is the status of a prince of the Da Xi Kingdom?

""There's no need for him to meet with the envoys from the other countries. Just a few words will suffice.""

""So from that year onwards, You Guo's provocations towards our Great Yan have gradually lessened.

However, the location of Quiet Nation was extremely tiring, so they had no choice but to try and expand outwards.

You Guo is located to the southeast and to the east of us. We, the Great Yan army, are at least three hundred thousand troops that have been stationed there for a long time.

The northern border of You Country is right next to the Swallow Mountain Range. Yu Yang County is located in the easternmost part of the country. Further east from Yu Yang County is the Bohai Country. ""

""The people of BoHai are warlike, and that place is extremely cold. Every year, there are only four months that we can grow crops, and the majority of our people depend on hunting and fis.h.i.+ng for a living.""

The You Country's transit route was from north to south, with the eastern border being half bordered by the BoHai Country and half by the sea.

The mountains there stretch out, and many places don't even have a five meter large piece of soil. If you want to eat some food, you can just plant a seed in the cracks in the rocks.

""And the BoHai country in the northeast of You Country keeps invading You Country, stealing a lot of food every year, hence You Country's 100 lives are actually very bitter.""

Zhuang Fei Fei intentionally diverts the thought of the dispute, so she gives a detailed account of the situation in Youguo.

""The formation of the government of You Country is also different from our Great Yan.

More than half of the power of the Underworld was actually in the hands of the G.o.ds a.s.sociation.

The authority of a Red Cloaked Messenger of G.o.d was even greater than that of a general's.

As for the Black Robe Divine Seat, it had even more power than the king of Nether Kingdom.

In the past hundred years, the Kings of Nether Kingdom had needed the approval of the G.o.ddess Black Robe to succeed them.

""If he doesn't nod his head, then he can only change people.""

An Xuan nodded, ""That is to say, the respect the citizens of Nether Kingdom have for the G.o.d Guild is above the respect for royal authority.""

Zhuang Feifei replied with a laugh, ""There's nothing we can do about that. About a hundred years ago, the King of h.e.l.l, Tan Zhengdong, felt that his rule over the Underworld was on the verge of collapse.""

Because the Silent Kingdom was so tired, the people could only cause trouble if they did not have enough to eat.

Intifada continued everywhere, and the imperial court suppressed them year after year.

Tan Zhengdong was also a person who had his own thoughts. He came up with an idea … He believed that the reason the Chinese rebelled was because they had no reverence for him.

If all Chinese had faith, then they would be much more honest.

Thus, he ordered the Imperial Adviser, Ji Changqi, to secretly establish the Divine Meeting and expand it in the Underworld. ""

""In just three to five years, the G.o.ddess Union has become so powerful that it's almost impossible to control.""

After Tan Zhengdong's death, the newly appointed King of h.e.l.l was still young. The Divine Black Robe Divine Seat had grown up in power, and Ji Changqi held almost all of his authority.

From then on, G.o.d would gradually ascend above the royal family.

Now that more than a hundred years have pa.s.sed, it will be as difficult as ascending to the heavens for the royal family of You to change this situation. ""

An Zhe asked, ""Then why did You Nation suddenly send an envoy? After all, the Great Xi Prince has been here for more than four years.""

Zhuang Feifei asked, ""Huh?""

How did you know it was more than four years ago? ""

""I've heard of it.""

Zhuang Feifei did not mind, and continued: ""The reason why You Guo came this time is because our Great Yan's general, Fang Xin, has beaten him too hard.""

""Speaking of which, it's still because of that old friend of yours, Princ.i.p.al Qiu Changchen.""

""Qiu Changchen was originally Iron Liuhuo's a.s.sistant general, so he was ordered to go to the Illusory Shrine to ask Mu Changyan to take over the position.""

Mu Changyan didn't know what evil had done either, and one of the conditions was that Qiu Changchen had to stay and take care of the Fantasy World Academy.

Qiu Changchen had agreed to stay, but somehow leaked the news and got found out by the people from the Dark Kingdom Divine Meeting.

""The G.o.ddess a.s.sociation sent a red-robed cleric and many experts to the illusory world to a.s.sa.s.sinate Qiu Changchen.""

""After Grand General Fang's bosom friend learned of this, he had to endure for three years and carefully train Iron Fog.""

After that, he brought along Flowing Fire Heavy Cavalry to the south. In three battles, he killed more than twenty thousand soldiers of the Shadow Army.

The red-robed cleric who killed the three Divine a.s.sa.s.sins, from then on, Quiet Nation did not dare to continue to fight and was strictly on guard.

After the BoHai country received the news, they took advantage of the situation to rob them.

The BoHai army of one hundred and sixty thousand marched westward. Nether Realm's defense was tight, so they had no choice but to transfer the western border army to the eastern border. ""

An Zaiyue understood the situation. ""That's why there's no other way for You Kingdom to start a war, so they have no other choice but to make peace with the Yan Country.""

Zhuang Feifei nodded. ""That's right … The reason why the military affairs were suddenly suppressed and the empress dowager and Duke Yan didn't make any further moves was because of the arrival of You Country's diplomatic mission.""

To Great Yan, the matter of the Four Corners' Hall was but a small matter.

""Negotiations with You Country are the most important.""

An Zaihai said, ""Since it's you seeking peace, I can't help but ask for some benefits.""

Zhuang Feifei laughed, ""People have to pretend to be confident when they are poor. This is the current situation of the people from You Country.""

They knew that they would definitely suffer a loss, but they didn't want to suffer a loss, so they could only pretend to be indifferent.

The people from the Gesun Kingdom brought quite a few treasures this time. The first was to show off their might, letting the Yan Country know just how powerful You Country really was.

""The second reason is to let the Yan Emperor and the empress dowager see that we've indeed come with sincerity.""

""Then why did these things come to the market?"" he asked.

Zhuang Feifei beamed with laughter, ""You Guo is so confident, isn't it the same for me, Big Yan?""

""These things are sent to Heavenly Temple, the King of Yan waved his hand and refused them all. He sent them to the market to be appraised by the citizens of my Great Yan. Whoever is willing to buy them will be bought. The people of my Great Yan have plenty of money anyway.""

An Zeng sighed, ""Both of them are in great pain."" ""Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh …""

Zhuang Feifei asked, ""What's so painful?""

An Xuan said, ""How can two people who are so fat with swollen faces not feel pain when they are fanning themselves with all their strength?""

Zhuang Fei Fei rolled her eyes at him, ""Your mouth is so mean.""

However, this time, the name that I asked you to come here was chosen by the King himself.

""Those from the You Country bragged about the amazing things they brought. The King of Yan intentionally suppressed their arrogance so that you could take a good look and teach those from the Ghost a.s.semblies of the You Country a lesson.""

""Do I have any advantages?"" he asked.

Zhuang Fei Fei said, ""Although the empress dowager doesn't want the Duke of Yan in power, this is still a matter for her family.""

To the outside world, the empress dowager wasn't weak either.

Not only did he show a lot of obedience to her home country, Zhao, but he was also very powerful to Youguo.

""Therefore, if you suppress the flames of anger of the members of the Gesun Kingdom this time around, it will be a good thing for the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect to gain a foothold in Fang Shencheng. At the very least, the empress dowager will not make things difficult for you for a short period of time, and you will also uphold face for the military.""

""I suddenly feel like I'm being very forceful,"" An Zui said with a smile.

Zhuang Feifei said, ""You were always so... Uh-huh.""

An Zhe laughed heartily in his heart, thinking that a woman should retain some of her modesty in front of a man, replacing the word 'awesome' with 'hmm hmm hmm'.

However, Gu Qianye wouldn't have done so. That girl was too fierce.

An Zeng walked to the railing and looked down. He noticed that there were a lot of people standing around the table to appraise and appraise the items.

There were only two types of treasures.

One was useful, the other was valuable, and these two things were still valuable when summed up.

As the saying goes, useful is definitely worth it for cultivators.

As for valuable items, they were commonly referred to as ordinary items and treasures, but they were completely useless for cultivation.

An Zhe only took a glance, and his expression changed slightly. Fortunately, his back was facing Zhuang Feifei, so Zhuang Feifei could not see the change in his expression.

This was because he found two items on the table. Two items that looked like large jade-like scallops. There were also … holy fish scales on the fish, and two on the bottom.

An Zaiyue turned around and smiled at Zhuang Fei Fei: ""I'll go down to kill them.""

Zhuang Feifei said, ""Go, it would be best if the self-esteem of those people from You Country is only as big as a pair of underpants.""

""Most of the socks are good,"" said Anjou.

Zhuang Feifei smiled and waved his hand. An Chou and Du slowly walked down from the second floor, while Xiao Qidao continued to sit there eating.

On the big platform below, there were dozens of tables. Each table was full of things.

One had to say, none of the items that You Ye had brought were ordinary.

At each table stood two burly men from Nether Kingdom, dressed in very different clothes from the people of Yan Country.

Yanghong people like to wear long s.h.i.+rts, but You-You people do not wear the habit of wearing long s.h.i.+rts.

The jacket was no more than the b.u.t.tocks, and the trousers were baggy and fastened with straps.

These men wore black clothes and black pants, but they did not carry any weapons.

Within the Yan Kingdom, they naturally had no right to carry weapons.

At the end of the platform was a chair. A priest in a red robe sat there tasting tea, occasionally glancing at the onlookers with disdain.

He put down the teacup and said a few words in a low voice. Then, a Blue-robed Messenger of G.o.d then said in a loud voice, ""The magistrate said that as long as someone can recognize five of the items, they will send them out one by one.""

""Of course, you have to explain in detail the origin and nature of this item.""

The surrounding crowd exclaimed, but no one stepped forward.

Most of these things were sea goods, and not many people in Yan Country saw them.

Thus, it would not be an easy task to explain the origins and nature of the five items in detail.

An Zaiyue walked over and casually looked at it. From within, he picked a nine-star double-handed broadsword and handed it to Skinny Du. ""I promised to help you choose a suitable magical equipment. This one is pretty good. Take it.""

After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave when the two large men of You Country quickly stepped forward to stop him.

A blue robed G.o.d's envoy said coldly, ""Even if this is your Yan Kingdom, you people of Yan can't just take what you want and leave, right?""

An Xuan said, ""Didn't you say to pick any of the five items and take them away with you?""

The blue-robed architect said: ""You have to explain which five items are the first.""

An Zou said, ""Very troublesome. You can just pick five items for me to recognize.""

With a smack, the red robed clergyman slapped the table. ""Could it be that you are here to cause trouble?""

""I'm afraid this is not how Yan Ren treats his guests.""

An Zeng narrowed his eyes and looked at the red-robed cleric. ""Are you unwilling to give it to me?""

The red-robed G.o.ddess said, ""If you recognize me, of course I would be willing to do so.""

But if you don't admit it, then take it.

""Even if this is the Yan Country, I cannot allow anyone to humiliate You Country's dignity.""

An Zhan moved a chair over and sat down. ""Pick five items at will. If I don't manage to tell you, I will double the price of this broadsword for you.""

The red-robed judge frowned. He did not dare to underestimate An Zaihai anymore, but An Zaihai was too young. He did not believe An Zaiyue would say it out loud, so he chose a few sea goods on purpose, ""You tell me!""

An Zou pointed to the first, ""You countrymen are really stingy, also looking down on us Yanren.""

""Your plate says the East Sea's divine supplement, but you're actually just the second son of a sea serpent.""

Just now, someone had smelled it and immediately felt disgusted.

An Zou pointed at the second item. ""What do you call the East Sea Divine Tree?""

Do you people of You Country not know how to speak without adding the word ""divine""?

""This is made up of dried seaweed. It's only worth five taels of silver, and it's only worth of manual labor.""

The priest's face changed color. He was already a bit embarra.s.sed.

An Zhan then pointed to the third item. ""This item is rather impressive … This is the egg of the Eastern Sea's low-rank Demon Beast Dodo Tortoise. No matter what, it is worth a thousand taels of silver. It is of no use, only big.""

""An egg is enough to fill a plate. Rumor has it that it has the effect of nouris.h.i.+ng the kidney. I wonder if it's real or fake.""

He looked at the priest. ""Big Egg, am I right?""

Why are low-rank magical beast eggs so cheap?

It lays hundreds of eggs at once because it lays too many eggs. The reason why it is so rare is because most of the tortoises gather on the Fuming Island in the East China Sea. They rarely reach the sh.o.r.es of the Inner Six.

""Do you bring these worthless things to make peace?"" the magistrate asked.

""I'm afraid he has lost some of his sincerity.""
