Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 672: Do your best

"Junior Sister Shen, I have a question. I would like to ask Junior Sister to clarify it. Dengzhen Kingdom is in a quiet corner and there is not much that is surprising. Why can it be so rich?"

"Not sure."

"Uncle Zhang is the prime minister. As a disciple of the prime minister, how can you know nothing about it? It seems there is something unspeakable."

"I never interfere in state affairs."

In the main hall, Xu Xuxing and a young woman were sitting opposite each other, holding the pass and lying next to them.

The two said a few words and then fell into silence.

Zhi Guan suddenly said: "Shen Su, you are so rich in Deng Zhen Kingdom. Instead of handing it over to the demons in vain, it is better to hand it over to us, and we will send people to protect you."

Shen Su forced a smile and did not respond.

Xu Xuxing said: "Junior sister Shen, this time the two countries form an alliance, can they do business with each other in the future?"

"This matter is decided by Master, I don't know."

Xu Xuxing glanced at Zhiguan and said: "What senior brother said just now is very inappropriate, but the advantages of the two countries can indeed make up for each other. If we start business with each other, Liangyao Zhengguo's 'Two Fate Talismans' will help you expel the demons." It will also be of great benefit to the clan."

"Yeah."

Shen Su was not interested in these things and responded politely.

The palace fell into silence again.

After a few breaths, a person entered the hall.

Xu Xuxing, Zhiguan immediately stood up and said: "Meet the Master."

Shen Su also stood up and said: "Greetings to the Lord."

Lu Tong smiled and said: "There is no need to meet outsiders. Your master and I hit it off as old friends, so we just call you 'Uncle Master'."

"Yes, Uncle Master."

Shen Su bowed again.

Lu Tong sat on a chair and glanced at the two of them one by one.

Shen Su, Zhang Qiao’s apprentice.

After much consideration, he did not point it out directly. He just called the person over and let the two of them get along together. If they admire each other, it would not be too late to point it out.

Seeing Shen Su's reserved expression at this time, I had already guessed a bit.

"You didn't go out this morning?"

Shen Su shook his head.

Xu Xingxing said: "Back to Master, Junior Sister Shen and I talked about Taoism for a while and discussed some state affairs."

Lu Tong sighed softly in his heart, waved his hand and said: "It's rare to come out and don't have to worry about state affairs anymore. Senior nephew Shen, I have something to entrust to you. I wonder if my nephew can handle it?"

"Juniors don't dare, please ask uncle for instructions."

"As a master, I am used to being a shopkeeper with no hands, causing my disciples to work hard all day long. This time it is rare to get out, and I would like to ask my nephew to take him out for a walk and see the beautiful scenery of Dengzhen Kingdom. , how?"

Shen Su has not agreed yet.

Xu Xuxing was the first to say: "This disciple enjoys it and does not feel it is hard."

Lu Tong smiled and said: "You have to go out then. The book says that the authorities are blind to the beholder, and they tend to be short-sighted if they are bored all day long."

"Yes."

Xu Xuxing bowed his hands and accepted.

Shen Sudao: "There is a 'Yaohai Flower Pond' three miles away from the capital. How about I take my two senior brothers to visit there?"

"Very good."

Lu Tong nodded and said: "But there are other important things to do in Zhiguan, so you and Xing'er can go together."

"Yes."

"Have you had lunch?"

Shen Su shook his head and said nothing.

Slowly said: "Disciple is waiting for Master to come back."

Lu Tong shook his head and said, "I've already eaten. Nephew Shen, which restaurant in the capital is the most unique?"

"Qixiangzhai, Defu Tower, and Whitebait Waterside Pavilion."

This time, without waiting for Lu Tong to speak, Shen Su said directly: "If senior brother is free, I will take senior brother over to try something new and show my friendship as a landlord."

"Okay."

Lu Tong directly agreed for Xu Xuxing and said: "Zhiguan stays, you can go together."

"Yes."

Shen Su and Xu Xuxing left the hall.

Zhiguan lowered his head and said, "Master, what's the matter? I haven't eaten either."

"Let's eat together tonight."

……

Meet the leader of the country, meet the officials, and meet the wealthy businessmen.

Lu Tong entertained guests constantly every day.

Five days later, at night, the He Mansion was brightly lit, with young maids wearing colorful clothes and holding lanterns walking between the tables.

Lu Tong sits at the top.

Zhang Qiao and an old man with a white beard accompanied him on the left and right respectively.

"Master Lu, your country's 'Two Life Talisman' has long been famous. If we trade this talisman this time, no matter how much others bid, He's Maoyuan Chamber of Commerce can add another 10% to it."

Lu Tong nodded slightly and said: "You are worthy of being the Marquis of Maoyuan, and your reputation is well-deserved."

He stepped forward. Dengzhen was a wealthy man and the first person in the country to buy an official position. He was named "Maoyuanhou".

At the same time.

Zhang Qiao secretly transmitted the message and said: "He stepped forward, his real name is Li Ben, and behind him is 'Fu Xun', the military commander of Dingguo. This man's wealth is second to none among the families in the countries."

"How rich are you?"

"There are hundreds of warehouses in Hanzhen Mountain, 10% of which belong to 'Fuxun'."

Lu Tong was secretly shocked.

Hanzhen Mountain is thousands of feet high. According to Zhang Qiao, nearly half of the mountain has been hollowed out. Formations were arranged and warehouses were rebuilt based on the strange phenomena in the mountain. All of them were filled with rare things worth tens of thousands of gold.

Fu Xun's financial resources are so terrifying, most of them come from Dingguo.

He began to make calculations in his mind.

Dingguo is located in the southeast of Dengzhen Kingdom and also in the southeast of Liangyaozheng Kingdom. They are far apart, several countries apart, and there is no opportunity to take advantage of them in a short period of time.

He stepped forward and said: "Whether the Lord wants gold, silver, talismans, or elixirs, Maoyuan Chamber of Commerce has everything, even..."

Lu Tong looked sideways.

He stepped forward and deliberately pondered for a while, and said: "Even if it is a demon-transformation spell, we can discuss it."

Lu Tong showed a reserved smile.

"This method can be incorporated into the eyes of Maoyuan Hou, which seems extraordinary."

"Hongma."

The smile on Lu Tong's face froze for a moment, then slowly faded away, and he said: "A fairy horse from the country of Zhi, wearing a cloud pattern and as fast as a dragon?"

The most famous animals in the past century are the Qilin from the Shanglin Kingdom and the Hongma from the Zi Kingdom.

In this country, the whole country is in arms, fighting to support war.

When he was in the Zang Kingdom, he had dealt with Ding Chu, the Taibao of this country, and he has been paying attention to this country these years.

The laws in the country are fierce and the people's resentment is very strong, like a boiling volcano. But the country was so powerful that after the volcano erupted, it did not destroy the country, but instead annexed dozens of surrounding countries.

In recent years, the volcano has begun to regain momentum and prepare for the next eruption.

He stepped forward and nodded slightly, saying: "The method only reaches the foundation-building realm, but with the strength of Hongma, it is no less than the ordinary Nascent Soul realm method."

Lu Tong picked up the wine glass and drank it slowly.

"How can Marquis Maoyuan know the secret of the country?"

"Don't worry, my lord, this method has a bright and honest origin. Our country has sold many grand horses at sky-high prices. It is not unusual for people to have discovered the art of transforming monsters."

"Hongma is the national animal of the country. Even if its origin is authentic, no one would dare to practice it."

"Whether you practice it or not, this method is priceless."

Lu Tong put down his wine glass and said to himself, "Old fox."

This spell is of average value to others, but to Liangyao Zhengguo, it can increase his heritage and even be used as a way to control the country.

He stepped forward and knew this clearly.

Lu Tong looked at Zhang Qiao.

Zhang Qiao was drinking. He slowly put down his glass and said with a smile: "The Lord's 'Two Life Talisman' is rare in the world, and Marquis Maoyuan's 'Hongma' is also the only one in the world. It's better for Zhang's sake." , each take a step back and form a long-term fate."

Lu Tongtong: "What suggestions does the Prime Minister have?"

"I heard that the 'Two Life Talisman' cannot last forever. It can take as little as a month or as long as half a year and it will become an ordinary blood talisman?"

"Not bad."

Liangyao Zhengguo has a blood tower to seal it. After leaving the blood tower, the blood spirit in the talisman will soon lose its spirituality.

Zhang Qiao said: "Marquis Maoyuan has come up with a method. The king only needs fifty talismans, but before the talismans are used, they must be replaced with new ones every three months. How about it?"

He stepped forward and looked at Lu Tong.

Lu Tongtong: "The two fate talismans are divided into Qi training, foundation building, and golden elixir. The value of them is very different. If there are fifty Qi training talismans, it can be like this."

He Shangqian looked unhappy.

Zhang Qiao smiled and said: "How about dividing it into ten parts, one for golden elixir, two for foundation building, and seven for Qi training?"

Lu Tong nodded slowly.

He stepped forward and said: "Just follow the words of the Prime Minister."

……

The next day.

Everything was settled and Lu Tong was ready to say goodbye and leave.

Shen Su entered the hall and said: "Uncle Lu, the master invites uncle to go up the mountain and talk about it."

"Okay."

The scenery of Hanzhen Mountain is thin, with black rocks and white snow everywhere. Occasionally, there are a few old pines covered with hoarfrost.

Lu Tong, Xu Xuxing and Shen Su climbed the mountain together.

Zhang Qiao stood by the cliff and said: "Su'er, take Senior Brother Xu to the cave to rest."

"Yes."

The two of them retreated together.

Zhang Qiao asked: "Master, how is this matter?"

Lu Tong sighed, stood aside, looked at the heavy treasure light at the foot of the mountain, and said, "Fellow Taoist should have noticed it."

The man is ruthless and the concubine has no intention.

Xu Xuxing and Shen Su are both smart people, and it is impossible not to see their arrangement. However, after spending a few days together, Xu Xuxing did not have any ideas, and Shen Su also resisted.

Zhang Qiao said: "In my opinion, if the king grants a marriage, the disciples will definitely obey."

Lu Tong looked sideways.

He thought about forcing this matter, but he couldn't figure out Zhang Qiao's likes and dislikes.

It is difficult to distinguish between failure to get things done and success at all costs.

"Fellow Taoist, there is no need to test again."

He breathed out, withdrew his eyes, and said: "Fellow Taoist should know the sincerity of Liangyao Zhengguo. If fellow Taoist comes, it will be a blessing for Lu and fellow Taoist. If fellow Taoist does not come, it is Lu’s loss is not necessarily the loss of fellow Taoists.”

"What do I have to lose?"

"In all the countries in the world, there are many people who seek sages, but few people who use sages. How many Taoist friends can be accommodated?"

The two stood on the edge of the cliff.

After a long time, Zhang Qiao said: "I want to send a team of envoys to return to Liangyao Zhengguo with the king. What does the king think?"

"Yes."

"Su'er will also go together. Su'er is innocent and innocent, and Xu Xuxing is pure in character. The two are really a good match. After they go, I also ask the king to promote peace."

"Love is unpredictable. If they don't understand it, outsiders can't do anything about it."

"Sooner or later, they will have enlightenment. Neither of them are ordinary fools. Talents cherish talents. As long as the time is right, they will come together sooner or later."

"Yes."

Zhang Qiao agreed, but Lu Tong didn't have much trouble in his heart.

Lu Tong was also a little surprised. After experiencing this change, he gradually realized something in his heart.

When all things are done, destiny returns.

He has done his best. Zhang Qiao has seen all his actions and his intentions. He will not make any other choice except agreeing.

He took a long breath of cold air, and all the worries, doubts, and annoyances that had been piling up in his heart dissipated a lot.

"When will Fellow Taoist prepare to take charge of the Prisoner's Palace?"

"Two years later, I will visit various countries, meet the owners of these treasures one by one, and persuade them to move away together. When will the owner of the country find the fairy ship?"

"Within one year."

……

The good demon Zhengguo.

Inside the Purple Air Palace.

Just as Lu Tong sat down, Little Blue Bird quickly walked to the side and took out a pile of brochures, papers, and books.

"The king of the country, the deputy hall master of Qin, the master of Dian hall, the master of jue hall, etc. personally sent it, requesting the king to check it in person. In addition, the kingdom of Shu sent two letters of credence, and the kingdom of Youhu and the kingdom of Ji sent one. Seal."

"Okay."

Lu Tong picked up the thickest book, glanced at it and put it in his pocket.

Qin Zong sent a copy of the indictment.

I don’t know what means were used to find many "villains", and the books recorded every corruption.

He picked up the letter sent by Dian Si'er and looked at it with a slightly condensed expression.

There is fighting in the north.

Ji State invaded and occupied nine spiritual places in Shu State and also attacked the capital of Shu State.

Lu Tong immediately pulled out four letters of credence.

Yun Ao’s handwritten letter.

The first letter was a request to send troops to attack Ji State together. The second invitation to meet was very short, but it mentioned Wang Qiu, who was pledged in Shu Country.

He looked at the paper motionlessly and said, "Where is Lu Yu?"

"It's in Yuanxiang City. I've been here three times in the past few days and specifically told the king to send someone to notify him as soon as possible after his return."

"Yeah."

Lu Tong continued to look through other credentials.

The Youhu Kingdom is a personal letter from Jiao Zhuzheng, and it also invites troops to send troops to deal with the Ji Kingdom together with the Shu Kingdom. ~IndoMTL.com~Ji Guo’s credential was written by Yuan Zhenren, requesting a visit.

He read it back and forth twice, handed all four letters of credence to Xiao Qingniao, and said: "Send them to Qiuyin Palace and tell them I will be there in half an hour."

"Yes."

The little blue bird left in a hurry.

Lu Tong continued to look through other books.

Jue Tianniu asked for a mountain. The prison was too small and there were too many prisoners. Now the cells are full.

He was a little surprised and a little confused.

The large number of prisoners means that life is difficult, but Liangyao Zhengguo is getting prosperous day by day, and as far as the eye can see, although it is not as rich as Dengzhen country, it is still stable and stable.

"Chuanjue longhorned beetle."

"Yes."

As soon as the little blue bird entered the temple, it immediately went out and turned into a six-blue bird and flew away.

After drinking tea, Jue Tianniu entered the palace and said: "Greetings to the Lord!"

"Sit!"

Jue beetle sat cross-legged.

Lu Tong asked: "What's going on?"

"Hey."

Jue Tianniu sighed and said: "There are refugees everywhere and thieves are running rampant. It is impossible to arrest them or not to arrest them. There is nothing I can do about it."

The corners of Lu Tong's eyes trembled a few times.

"How could this happen?"

Jue Tianniu was a little confused and said: "What?"

"Why are there refugees and thieves?"

"Maybe there are too many people. There are many babies in the country every year, and hundreds of thousands of people are exchanged from the Young Fox Kingdom. Now many people have no land to farm and nothing to do, so they have become refugees and thieves."

Lu Tong was silent for a while and said: "Zhidian specializes in food, have they neglected their duties?"

Jue Tianniu didn't dare to talk nonsense, hesitated for a while, and said: "People don't just have to eat enough, they have to have something to do, otherwise there will be trouble."

"Go down."

"Yes."

Lu Tong sat alone on the couch, thought for a long time, and murmured: "I have to take action this time."
