Chapter 239 A Qualified Tyrant(1/2)
Chapter 239: A qualified tyrant
Lu Gui lost a lot of weight, which is also unbelievable among the great witches. He was not seriously injured and was not cursed by witchcraft. He was able to lose weight to only skin and bones in just half a month. For eating iron blocks and
For a great witch who can grow flesh from stones, it is simply too rare. This also shows how much pressure Lu Gui has been under recently and how severe his mental suffering has been.
Wearing an empty and wrinkled black robe, Lu Gui lay lazily on the throne and said to Xia Jie casually: "That bitch Bai Zhi? And the remnants of the sea people? They are colluding together? Collusion is just a matter of time."
Let's collude. Do the current Hai people still have the strength to oppose me, Daxia? Isn't their little military strength also used up in the heaven? Okay, okay, Xia Jie, don't worry anymore."
Lazily, he raised his head and glanced at Xia Jie. Lu Gui suddenly took off a black jade sword from his waist and threw it to him. "This is the royal sword of the Wangting Anshi. With this sword, you can mobilize the current dark jade sword."
The remaining 1,800 blood witch guards in Si are all high-ranking witches. Just lead them to hunt down Bai Zhi, and I will ignore other matters."
"Uh~~~" Xia Jie was stunned. The most powerful Ansi among the several top-secret forces that had been in the hands of the Great Xia Royal Court was just handed over to him? Although the Ansi now has 1,800 remaining
There are indeed fewer blood witch guards than at the peak, but Lu Gui handed over the blood witch guards to himself so easily. Isn't it too childish?
The corner of his mouth twitched a few times, and Lu Gui, who came to the palace to report that Bai Zhi had colluded with the Hairen and that all the Hairen people had escaped, couldn't help but feel a little stupid.
"Okay, okay. Don't be wordy. There are too many things in the court, and I can't let the king handle everything personally. It is your duty as a minister to leave some messy things to you.
"Min." Lu Gui hummed lazily: "Go, go, do what you should do. Well, wait a minute..."
Stopping Xia Jie who was walking out of the palace with his sword in hand, Lu Gui said excitedly: "In this way, Xia Jie, don't bother me with trivial matters in the future. I appointed you as the Dingtian Army Order and asked you to do it."
Commander of the military department. You, Dingtian Military Order, are responsible for suppressing rebellions, detecting traitors, and supervising court officials. Well, I give you the power of making final decisions. It’s not a big problem. You can make your own decision.
That’s it. The ministers below the rank of imperial commander should be killed when they need to be killed, and arrested when they need to be arrested, so that they won’t bother me anymore.”
He clapped his hands enthusiastically, Lu Gui summoned his chamberlain, quickly wrote an edict, and stamped nine bloody marks on it with his seal. Lu Gui pouted and blew the handwriting and marks dry.
He threw the black scroll to Xia Jie. "Go, go, do what you are ordered to do by Dingtian Army. I, the king, must enjoy what you should enjoy. Life is only a few hundred years.
If it disappears without enjoying it, wouldn’t it be a waste of time to come to this world? Come on, people, please sing, dance, and drink, come up quickly!”
Dozens of dancing girls with flying skirts walked in quickly and lightly, the bells and drums sounded leisurely, and Lu Gui squatted on the throne with his palms in his hands and sang, looking like a madman.
Xia Jie sighed heavily, stuffed the decree and the sword into his arms, and strode out of the hall. Shu, who was standing at the door of the hall, quickly wiped his big mouth with oil, came up and asked: "
Boss, do you have any work? I think Daxia’s recent popularity has not been very good, so would you like to add a few dollars to the monthly payment you give me?”
Xia Jie slapped Chen hard on the forehead, and said angrily: "Fart! What have you done for me recently? Do you want me to give you more monthly money? Go and send a letter to the thirty-six states of Haiyu.
, asked my subordinates of the Secret Service to dispatch half of their personnel to Daxia. First, build three bases to train new personnel outside Anyi City... Well, first, secretly recruit 100,000 civilians for training."
The secret agents and eyes and ears of the Secret Service are positions that ordinary civilians can also perform. In order to ensure the security around Anyi City, Xia Jie can only transfer manpower from the thirty-six states of the sea area. However, the thirty-six states of the sea area are
It has also been very unsettled recently. Half of the Secret Service's eyes and ears have been deployed. There will inevitably be countless loopholes in the surveillance of the West, leaving a lot of room for Satan and Augustus to maneuver. But, that's not the case.
What can we do if we do it? Compared with the territories occupied by the sea people, Eastern Kyushu is the foundation of Daxia.
It's a pity that Xia Jie has too few people available at the moment. If the shrewd and slippery boy Chi Ming is still there, many problems can be effectively solved.
"Red Star~~~" Youyou sighed and stomped several sapphire boards on the floor to pieces. Xia Jie walked down the steps with a gloomy face.
As soon as he walked down the steps, several Hidden Witches from the Hidden Witch Hall came running toward him. The Hidden Witch in the middle shouted hurriedly: "Xia Jie, the witch master is injured. I want you to go to the Hidden Witch Hall as soon as possible."
"What?" Xia Jie grabbed the great witch's collar with one hand and lifted him up. He angrily shouted: "How could he be injured? Who injured him?"
The great witch calmly said in a very fast but calm voice: "The witch led us to hunt down the seaman technician who escaped on the transport ship. First, he was shot in the back by the three main guns of the Doomsday Fortress.
, then the high priest of the sea people arrived and injured the witch master with a strange-shaped magic weapon."
"Sanadan? Augustus!" Xia Jie's face was as gloomy as the thunder clouds in June. He said solemnly: "Go to the Hidden Witch Palace. With this sword in hand, go to the palace's Anshi station and kill all the Ansi.
The Great Witch was mobilized and sent to the Doomsday Fortress to kill all the sea people who might be hiding in the Doomsday Fortress... When it comes to finding traces, the Hidden Witch can't compare to them." He took out his sword and Xia
Jie threw the sword to the great witch, and then his body rose into the sky, flying towards the doomsday fortress that had descended less than 100,000 miles from the ground and was under the Gangfeng layer.
Shu screamed a few times, and the slow and cumbersome one flew up. While chasing Xia Jie, he muttered: "Following you to the sky and the earth, running around, is this called not doing anything for you? Add more money,
Increase your money, increase your monthly payment! Otherwise, you won’t be able to survive. Who knows when you will be killed in Daxia? You won’t be able to get so much money by then. Increase your money, increase your money!”
Xia Jie had just left the palace for only a stick of incense. His hair and beard were as pale as dead bones, his face was haggard and withered, and he had a sense of death in his body. Then he attracted a large team of thousands of people and walked in slowly.
Palace. It can be seen that Daxia's fiasco in heaven also dealt an extremely heavy blow to the Xiangliu family. Because of Xiang Liurou's opportunity and because of Xia Jie's help, the Xiangliu family avoided the desperate situation of annihilation, but they also fell.
When it reaches the level of a second-rate witchcraft family, most of the elites have been lost. As the head of the family, if Xiang Liuhui can still live a rich and prosperous life under such circumstances, he will be called a ghost.
Shivering, he walked to the square where the Jiuding was placed. Xiang Liuhuo turned around tremblingly and said dryly to the thousands of people behind him: "If you want to see the king, you have to look at your status. If you have enough status,
If there are more than ten cities in the country and the population of the clan exceeds five million, they will go up to see the king with me. Others who do not have enough status can stay here."
Thousands of people dressed in different clothes were shocked when they heard the words, and they all clamored to meet Lu Gui in person. Xiang Liuhou gently slapped his hands, and tens of thousands of immature-looking imperial guards appeared out of thin air in Jiuding Square.
, holding crossbows and aiming them at these men. The strength of these guards was very poor, but the crossbows and arrows they held in their hands were filled with black smoke and a fishy smell. They were obviously attached with extremely vicious witchcraft and curses.
Extremely cruel voodoo. Thousands of crossbows were fired, and few people at the scene were confident that they could save their lives.
As a result, thousands of people shut their mouths at the same time. Xiang Liuhui glanced at these people coldly, and scolded in a low voice: "Teach me to be smarter! No matter how unlucky I am in Daxia, no matter how weak the national fortune is,
It's not like you uncivilized barbarians can resist. With just a few clicks of my little finger, I can destroy several of your countries and slaughter several of your tribes. If you don't believe it, you can try it!"
With a vicious sneer, Xiang Liuhui casually drew a circle towards the northwest corner of the crowd and sneered: "Kill the five hundred people here! Send a message to their king and clan leader, saying that they are in front of the king.
It is rude and has greatly offended the majesty of my great Xia. The king and the clan leader are ordered to pay compensation of ten thousand square meters of raw jade, one hundred thousand jade coins, millions of gold coins, tens of millions of copper coins, millions of strong women, and millions of childish children.
There are millions of cattle, sheep and other food animals, and millions of working animals. If anyone refuses to obey, the country will be destroyed!"
Thousands of guards moved their fingers, and tens of thousands of black lights roared out from the powerful crossbows. These black lights with three to five feet of black smoke penetrated into each human body quickly and penetrated their bodies. These people were instantly
His whole body turned black, and thick black plasma spurted out from his seven orifices, and he fell to the ground and died miserably on the spot. These guards had just been selected from the distant relatives of the major witch families and added to the palace.
He was also unskilled in the use of weapons and various ordnance. The tens of thousands of crossbow arrows fired not only killed the five hundred people within the range designated by Xiang Liuhui, but also implicated nearly a thousand people nearby. More than a thousand corpses
He fell to the ground, scattered and scattered, and soon shrank and smelled, turning into a mummy as hard as gold and iron.
"Look carefully!" Xiang Liuhui warned sinisterly: "This is the palace of Daxia. The king of Daxia lives here, and he is also the king of this world!"
Pointing his finger at the frightened people who turned pale, Xiang Liuhui warned: "Be good, otherwise, it will be very bad if your own people are harmed. Daxia's current power is still enough to slaughter you."
Not even three or five rounds without breathing." These envoys from the major subordinate countries and subordinate tribes of Daxia bowed their heads respectfully and fearfully, and then according to the power of their country and tribe, more than a hundred people met the conditions mentioned by Xiang Liuhui.
One of the envoys followed Xiang Liuhui up the steps obediently, while the other envoys stood obediently in the square. The guards holding crossbows slowly backed away, and then their figures slowly blurred, appearing in a circle.
Disappeared in the circle of air fluctuations.
In the main hall where the Great Xia Dynasty held meetings, Lu Gui, who was naked from the lower half of his body, was playing the fou and singing.
The corners of Xiang Liuhui's eyes twitched a few times. The envoys gasped at the same time. The timid envoy screamed in fright and stumbled out of the hall.
A dazzling electric light flashed, and the envoy who rushed out of the hall was burned to ashes before he could even run a few steps. Lu Gui stood up slowly, his messy long hair spread in front of him, and he narrowed his eyes.
A slit of eyes looked at Xiang Liuhui and the envoys from behind his messy hair, and an extremely dangerous aura enveloped the hall.
"Bi Gong... why did you bring these guys here?" Lu Gui asked gloomily with blue will-o'-the-wisps in his eyes.
Just as Xiang Liuhe was about to speak, Lu Gui suddenly roared angrily: "I ask you, why did you burst into the hall without even telling me? You are so brave! Xiang Liuhe! Do you think you are still the same Xiangliu family as before?
Are you the head of the family? Now if I strangle you to death, it will be like strangling a beast to death! How dare you, Xiangliu family, fart?"
Xiang Liu was stunned. He slowly bent his waist and bowed respectfully to Lu Gui. The envoys were also stunned. As the king of Daxia, he could be considered a great witch by cursing his important ministers like this.
No matter how cruel his nature is, this is an extremely rare thing. After all, as one of the four prime ministers of the Xia Dynasty, Xiangliu Tuo should not receive such treatment based on his status. It's not that Xiang Liupu didn't ask others to report it, but
There was no one outside the hall who could inform the people inside, so Xiang Liubi could only lead them straight into the main hall.
Lu Gui insulted an important minister indiscriminately, regardless of the cause and effect of the matter. Does Lu Gui say such words, does it prove that he has fallen into a semi-mad state?
In the foreseeable hundreds of years to come, the person who holds absolute power in Daxia will be a half-crazy king?
The cold sweat on the foreheads of some envoys oozed out instinctively, and large strands of cold sweat dripped down their cheeks and onto the ground. The vassal states and tribes of Daxia have been having a hard time over the past few years. If another violent madman is involved,
, that really means not letting people live. Looking at the naked bodies of women lying on the ground in the hall, the envoys instinctively thought of their beautiful wives and lovely daughters at home... For a moment, the hall was as quiet as a cemetery.
Lu Gui's sneer broke the dead silence. He said coldly to Xiang Liuhou: "But since I'm here~~~ forget it. Xiang Liuhou, go to the side hall to arrange a banquet. I will entertain all the envoys.
"Well, don't be too rich. This year's tribute has not been presented yet. I am very poor and don't have anything good to entertain you." These words were so naked that they were almost rogue.
A red-faced envoy bravely stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, we are here this time to discuss some tributes..."
Lu Gui turned his hand and blasted the envoy to pieces. The flesh and blood fragments sprayed out the other envoys bright red. A dozen of the cowardly envoys screamed strangely, wiped their faces that turned red, and tilted their bodies.
, was so frightened that he fainted to the ground. Lu Gui shouted impatiently: "Shut up! Tributes? Is there anything else to discuss about this matter? According to the practice of previous years, this year all tributes will be added by 30%!"
Thirty percent! All the envoys took a breath of air-conditioning at the same time, and some of the envoys had a trace of despair on their faces. However, no one dared to speak anymore. No one dared to say it to Lu Gui, because in the past few years, Daxia has been frantically searching for beautiful jade.
, fine gold and other expensive materials, as well as countless grain, grass and livestock, these old foundations of the country and tribe have also been completely consumed, and nothing much can be produced anymore.
"Hahahaha!" When Lu Gui saw that no one was talking, he suddenly laughed wildly. He bent his body and strode into the back hall. The envoys had no choice but to follow Xiang Liuhui out of the main hall obediently.
When they arrived at a side hall a few miles away, they sat down according to their respective statuses.
After about half an hour, the envoys heard a loud clang on the tile surface, as if someone was dragging a heavy object on the tile surface. The envoys looked at each other in shock, but they had no idea what Lu Gui was up to.
.Soon, the palace servants served hot food and wine, but the wine was ordinary village brewed water wine, and the dishes were simple boiled meat cubes and stone-baked corn cakes. In addition, each person had a small
The green vegetable leaves on the plate were only sprinkled with a little salt powder and had no other condiments. The food and wine prepared for this feast were simply extremely shabby.
The envoys looked at the simple food and wine in front of them and were speechless for a long time. It was really too outrageous. As the co-owner of the world, as the suzerain of so many vassal countries and clans, Daxia
Today's performance was really stingy to the extreme. The faces of the chamberlains who served the wine and food were all red with shame. After all, Daxia's treasury was indeed empty, but it was not so poor. The envoys heard what Lu Gui said personally.
I was told not to prepare a banquet that was too rich, but I didn't expect it to be so crude.
To be continued...
