Chapter 672

Taixuan Palace.

The palace is like a spider's nest, the beams and pillars are surrounded by hundreds of bluish-blue spiritual waters, and the arm-thick spiritual waters meet each other, forming several vortexes of different sizes in the hall.

One of the vortexes in particular was huge.

Within a half-foot vortex, thousands of orbs of various colors gathered a futon of Baise Baoguang, and a white-faced, beardless middle-aged man sat on the futon, covered with a layer of multi-colored light, and the fairy air was extremely strong.

Zhu Andu, the lord of Dengzhen Kingdom.

"Lord Lu, I heard that there are three treasure halls of Yin, Yang, and Purple in Yuanxiang City. I wonder if my Taixuan Palace can compare with them?"

Inside a small vortex below.

Lu Tong sat on the ten-colored futon, frowned, and then withdrew his expression for a moment, saying: "Taixuan Palace gathers all spirits, and the precious light is charming, it can be called the best in the world."

"Haha."

Zhu Andu laughed twice.

"Hahaha……"

The officials sitting with him below let out a burst of laughter.

Zhu Andu said again: "Come here, quickly invite Lord Lu to taste the 'cold brew' of our Dengzhen Kingdom."

"Shanghanchi Immortal Brew!"

"Shanghanchi Immortal Brew!"

The ceremony official yelled twice.

A group of maids came out, a total of five people, two leading the way, two behind, and one in the middle holding a huge tray with a small wine glass on it.

Lu Tong took the wine glass, drank it in one gulp, aftertaste, said: "Good wine!"

The wine is very good, the taste is clear and slightly cold, the chill does not make people feel cold, but a little warm.

It's just that although the wine is good, it's not as good as the battle when serving the wine.

Zhu Andu smiled.

Several officials below suddenly spoke:
"Back then, Lord Guan Fu, the Lord of Luan Kingdom, fell in love with him, and stayed in Dengzhen Kingdom for a month before he was reluctant to leave."

"That's right, there is also the Da Mo Kingdom, which sends people here every month to ask for immortal wine."

Lu Tong curled his mouth and relaxed his mind.

The ethos is vain.

Although they have not been together for a long time, they have roughly seen that the king and all the officials of Dengzhen Kingdom seem to be famous and vain, at least the king is like that.

Looking at the joyful scene in the palace, it is not obvious that the middle school is being bullied by the demons at this time.

Zhu Andu said: "I heard that Lord Lu's inheritance of good demons is not ordinary. There are countless demon guards in the country. Will there be any demon guards accompanying him this time?"

"The Liangyao Zhengguo is located in a dangerous place, so it is inconvenient to mobilize the demon guards."

"Unfortunately, I wanted Yaowei to compete with Dengzhen Kingdom's 'Five-tooth Warrior', but it seems that my long-cherished wish is hard to fulfill."

Zhu Andu sighed.

An official immediately said: "Master, I heard that Liang Yaozheng has a tiger guard in the country, and it happens that there is a golden tiger among the monsters accompanying Lord Lu. Why don't you let Lord Lu call this demon to compete."

"That's right. Ordinary tiger guards are just Huang Biaohu. This Jinbiao tiger must be the elite of Liangyaozhengguo."

"Oh?"

Zhu Andu looked at Lu Tong and said, "Lord Lu, are they right?"

Lu Tong shook his head with a smile.

A meaningless fight, it is useless to win, and it is embarrassing to lose, it is better not to compete.

"This demon is my third disciple, not a demon guard, and he is not good at fighting."

Before Zhu Andu opened his mouth, an official said:
"Why should Lu Guozhu be humble, is there any tiger monster in the world who is not good at fighting?".

"Master, since he is the direct disciple of Lord Lu, ordinary five-tooth wrestlers must not be opponents. How about letting 'General Duoyong' come and compete in person?"

"Quickly, pass on 'General Duoyong'!"

The people below were talking all over the place, and in the end they actually gave the order instead of Zhu Andu.

Lu Tong's eyes flickered.

In Dengzhen Kingdom, the lord is not like the lord, the official is not like the official, how can he be so rich, and he is even more curious about Zhangqiao for a while.

"Sui Shilin, pay homage to the king!"

A giant man walked into the hall. He was seven feet seven feet tall, with a body like a white ape and a face like a silver basin. He looked heroic and wore a white-haired cloak. His aura was fierce and elegant at the same time.

Lu Tong's heart trembled.

is a master.

In addition to being rich and honored, Dengzhen Kingdom finally has someone who can be seen.

Among the officials, the leader said: "Sui Shilin, the lord wants to see you fight Jin Biaohu."

Sui Shilin kept his eyes straight and ignored this person.

Zhu Andu said: "Lord Lu, this is my 'General Duoyong' who ascended to Zhen Kingdom. He ascended Hanzhen Mountain alone when he was only eight years old."

Lu Tong nodded slowly.

"Qi Chong Xiaohan is not an ordinary person."

"How is it compared to your disciple?"

Lu Tong shook his head slowly, without saying a word.

One person and one tiger are all in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

A congenital bloodline was tyrannical, and he swallowed countless blood spirits and pills.Although one can't see the Dharma door, but the Dharma light on his face is delicate and his breath is pure, he is not an ordinary monk.

"Winning or losing is unpredictable."

Zhu Andu became more interested, and said, "Sitting is boring, how about letting them fight?"

Lu Tong shook his head again, and said: "Such a hero, if he never gets one, he should be put on the battlefield for thousands of miles, beheading the enemy's head, how can he let others have fun like an actor?"

"well said!"

Just when Zhu Andu was about to speak, a voice suddenly sounded outside the hall, and then a young man with clear features entered the hall, cupped his hands and said, "Zhang Qiao, I have seen the lord!"

"Zhang Xiangguo, give me a seat!"

Zhu Andu waved his hand.

The ritual officer immediately cast out mana, and countless orbs fell into a whirlpool and turned into futons.

The young man didn't go over and sit down, but continued to cup his hands towards Lu Tong and said, "Master Lu, I have admired your name for a long time, and seeing him today really deserves my reputation!"

Lu Tong stood up from the futon.

Zhang Qiao, short, thin, and small, looked only in his teens, but after entering the hall, except for Lu Tong and Zhu Andu, everyone else was overshadowed.

"Zhang Daoyou just broke into Nascent Soul?"

"That's right. Hearing that the lord of the country is visiting, he came in a hurry and didn't have time to appease the Nascent Soul. Please forgive me, the lord."

Lu Tong nodded, raised his hand and let out a bloody light.

"This is the blood spirit, and it can assist fellow Taoists in recuperating."

"Thank you, my lord."

Without hesitation, Zhang Qiao swallowed it in one gulp.

The three of them sat on the futons.

As soon as Zhang Qiao came, many officials became more cautious and stopped speaking without authorization.

Zhu Andu was not interested in watching the fight any more, he waved his hand to signal Sui Shilin to retreat, and said, "Double happiness is here today, one is Xiangguo breaking into Yuanying Realm, and the other is that Lord Lu came to visit in person and ordered Shangxian Hall to hold a first-class banquet. "

"Yes."

Zhang Qiao said: "Master, this is not urgent. I heard that Lord Lu came here to form an alliance. Has the Lord discussed this matter?"

"Lord Lu has been running all the way, and it won't be too late to discuss tomorrow."

"Yes."

……

After a very rich feast.

Lu Tong, Xu Xuxing, and Zhiguan were brought into the hall for placement.

Several people sat down separately.

Lu Tong asked, "How?"

"Master, which one is stronger between us and Dengzhen Kingdom?" Zhiguan asked directly.

Lu Tong looked at Xu Xuxing and said, "Xinger, tell me."

"Yes."

Xu Xuxing thought for a while, and said: "The population of the two countries is similar, and the Dengzhen country is richer, but a lot of wealth is wasted on extravagance and debauchery. The strength of Wuya Lishi is not inferior to Baishan Taoist soldiers, but they are too favored. You may not have the guts to fight to the death. My disciples think we are stronger."

Lu Tong nodded.

Zhi Guan hunched over, walked to the side of the two, and whispered: "We are stronger and poorer, why don't we beat them? What King Zizhen can do, we can do too."

Lu Tong smiled.

Xu Xing said: "We are different from the demons. They are rats living in the ditch, and they just want to survive. What Liangyao Zhengguo aims for is the great cause of the country. If you don't move, you will be satisfied, and if you move, you will have great benefits."

"I think there is a big advantage here."

Xu Xuxing shook his head and didn't waste his time talking.

The benefits he mentioned are related to the foundation of a country, and he is determined to make great efforts in the next hundred or thousand years, but what he sees in the gate is the immediate benefits.

Lu Tongdao: "There are so many things going on in the middle school, and there is no time to rest. Take a look around in the past few days, and think of going out for a trip."

"Yes."

night.

Lu Tong was invited to the dinner, ate another big meal, enjoyed half an hour of singing and dancing, and returned to his residence under the escort of wrestlers and maids.

On the way, a person caught up and said: "Under the order of Xiangguo, I invite Lord Lu to Huangshi Palace to discuss the alliance."

"lead the way."

The group turned back again and walked towards the Yellowstone Palace.

Huangshi Palace, the hidden mountain in the palace, is a short mountain three feet high, with green grass on the mountain and green water at the bottom. Zhangqiao sits at the foot of the mountain, and the long table has been set up.

Lu Tong sat directly opposite.

Without saying a word, Zhang Qiao started to boil water and make tea. After working for a long time, he poured a cup of tea.

"Please."

Lu Tong took a sip and said, "Good tea."

The tea is slightly bitter and astringent, with almost no aftertaste, very ordinary tea.

Zhang Qiao took out a set of tea sets again, and started to boil water to make tea again. After working for a long time, he poured out the second cup.

"Please."

Lu Tong drank it in one gulp without opening his mouth.

The tea is sweet, and the aftertaste lingers for a long time. He doesn't like this kind of tea, but he doesn't care about tasting it now. He looks at Zhang Qiao and guesses Zhang Qiao's thoughts in his heart.

Zhang Qiao took out the third tea set and poured another cup after a while.

"Please."

Lu Tong drank it in one gulp, savored it for a long time, and said, "Good tea."

The last cup is really good tea, very transparent, bitter, astringent, sweet, etc. are all clean.

Zhang Qiao set out a new cup, picked up three more teapots and poured a little bit one by one, filling up the fourth cup, and said, "Please."

Lu Tong stared at the teacup and didn't drink it for a long time.

"What do you mean, fellow Daoist?"

Zhang Qiao also looked at the teacup and said, "What do you think of this cup of tea, the Lord?"

"Unpalatable."

Zhang Qiao nodded slowly, and said: "Three cups of tea can't be mixed together, how complicated is the affairs of a country, can the country's leader alone control it?"

Lu Tong's pupils shrank, and after a moment of silence, he picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp.

The taste is skewed, not like tea, like a mouthful of swill.

"rational."

Zhang Qiao took away all the tea sets, poured a glass of clear water, and said, "Back then, Liangyao Zhengguo set up a competition to seek talents for the first time, and I heard about the reputation of the lord of the country."

Lu Tong picked up clear water and rinsed away the remaining strange smell in his mouth.

"What reputation?"

"There is no taboo, the only thing to do."

Lu Tong: "It's the same in all countries."

"The ruler of the country does not need to be humble. Among the countries under heaven, there are many who seek talents, but few employ them, and there are even fewer people who can tolerate those who are proud of their 'talent'."

"Lu Mou still has a bit of self-knowledge. He employs people because he lacks people, and allows people because he hasn't touched the taboo."

Zhang Qiao shook his head and said: "The words of the lord really make Zhang feel ashamed."

Lu Tong smiled, did not continue to entangle, and asked: "To be honest, Lu came here specially for a fellow Taoist. If you have any concerns, you may as well speak up."

Zhang Qiao fell silent.

Lu Tong waited for a while, recalling the "three cups of tea" and "monopoly" just now, and suddenly understood Zhang Qiao's thoughts.

"Fellow Daoist, are you worried about being hindered by me?"

"Hey."

Zhang Qiao sighed and said, "Does the lord know why Zhang is in Dengzhen country?"

"do not know."

"When the Dengzhen Kingdom was first established, the ruler was also thirsty for talent. He lived with Zhang in the same hall every day, discussing state affairs day and night. This is how the Dengzhen Kingdom is today."

Lu Tong blinked and said, "Zhu Andu has changed?"

"It hasn't changed."

Zhang Qiao poured two glasses of water, picked up a glass, and said, "One hundred years of caution will inevitably lead to fatigue. Dengzhen has no major enemies abroad, no major troubles at home, and is full of wealth and wealth. It is reasonable for the king to want to enjoy it. "

"good."

"The Lord Lu will do the same?"

Lu Tong shook his head slowly, and said: "No. My ambition is thousands of miles away, and there are great enemies and troubles everywhere."

He is different from Zhu Andu.

Zhu Andu's ambition is too small, and he is satisfied with defending the Dengzhen Kingdom, so he relaxes, but his ambition is very big.

A smile appeared on Zhang Qiao's face, and he said: "If Zhu Guozhu is the same, Dengzhen Kingdom will not be reduced to being coerced by the demons."

Lu Tong's heart sank after hearing this.

"Now that there is a big enemy outside, Zhu Andu is likely to return to his old status. What are the plans, fellow Taoist?"

"late."

Lu Tong instantly calmed down.

If Zhang Qiao wants to leave, he only needs to meet the conditions and avoid worries, and this trip will definitely come true.

Zhang Qiao drank the water in the glass, put down the teacup, and said, "Dengzhen Kingdom can exist today because of its safe and invincible country. Now that the enemy is in the face, the foundation of Dengzhen Kingdom has been destroyed."

"What is the foundation of Dengzhen country?"

Lu Tong asked the question that had been lingering in his mind.

Dengzhen country is too rich.

If Liangyao Zhengguo is so rich, he has already begun to annex Yohu country, and started to unite with Lianzhoushan to deal with Jiguo.

Zhang Qiaodao: "Dengzhen Kingdom is a 'courtyard'."

"what?"

"There are endless disputes among the countries. If you are not careful, the Manchus will be wiped out. The accumulation of hundreds or thousands of years will be wiped out. The officials and wealthy households in the country are restless. Therefore, they need a place to hide their wealth, which cannot be too strong. , nor too weak."

Lu Tong was shocked and soon understood.

The ruler of the country, the officials, and the great clans may not be of the same mind, and even most of them are not of the same mind.

Dengzhen country is a retreat for the rich.

Can't be too strong, or property may be swallowed.It can't be too weak, otherwise it won't have the strength to protect property.

Selling an official is harmless, the foundation of Dengzhen country is not the people in the country, it is the demons who really destroyed Dengzhen country, and it is Zhu Andu who did not protect the courtyard.

"Can Liang Yao Zhengguo take over the 'courtyard'?"

Zhang Qiao smiled and said, "I heard that the Lord of the Kingdom has a good relationship with Lian Zhoushan?"

"A little friendship."

"Liangyao Zhengguo is adjacent to a powerful enemy, so it is not suitable to be a 'courtyard', but if you can buy a fairy ship and protect it with the power of the whole country, maybe you can establish another 'Dengzhengguo'."

A few thoughts flashed through Lu Tong's mind, he stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Taoist, please follow me back to Liangyao Zhengguo, and take the position of 'Prisoner's Palace Master'!"

Zhang Qiao's eyes drooped slightly.

Lu Tong followed his eyes and saw the empty water glass, he realized something in an instant, and said: "Unless the foundation of the country is shaken, Lu will never interfere in the affairs of the Prisoner's Palace."

"How should Zhang trust the king?"

"What do fellow Taoists need?"

"I heard that the four disciples under the head of the country are not yet married, and Zhang also has a disciple who is twenty-eight years old and has a little intelligence..."

Lu Tong's pupils tightened.

Xu Xuxing is not only a disciple, but also in charge of countless affairs in the country with his own hands. No one can compare to his status.

Zhang Qiao had already prepared for this.

"Let me discuss a thing or two."
