Chapter 371 Dog Lord
After Ludong Qingya took a bath, Ben lay naked on the bed, waiting quietly.

Suddenly, an idea flashed into her mind, that she must meet the talismanist no matter what, preferably right away.

She dressed, groomed, and waited patiently.

No matter how gorgeous clothes she wears and how heavy makeup she puts on, it's hard to hide her ugliness.

After Yang Jiu came in, she asked all the court ladies and eunuchs to step down.

"I've seen the eldest princess." Yang Jiu clasped his fists in salute.

Lu Dong Qingya looked at Yang Jiu carefully, and said after a while, "I don't know who has such great ability, so it's Master Jiu."

Before that, Ludong Qingya regarded Yang Jiu as a strong enemy.

The reason is very simple. Her younger brother Ludong Zanpu died in Chang'an, which is said to be related to Yang Jiu.

And her second sister, Ludong Heya, could have been in charge of Tubo, but under Yang Jiu's bewitching, she insisted on merging Tubo into Daxia, and ended up in such a miserable end.

Even though Ludong Heya was rescued, Ludong Qingya firmly believed that she would never survive.

But now, she has the same thought in her heart as Lu Dong Heya.

She can already understand Lu Dongheya's good intentions, and at the same time regret that she would treat her own sister like that.

Lu Dong Qingya asked Yang Jiu to sit down, and asked in a low voice, "He Ya was rescued by Master Jiu?"

Yang Jiu nodded and said: "She is out of danger, she will be fine after a period of recuperation."

"Great." The joy on Lu Dong Qingya's face was definitely not feigned.

Knowing that Ludonghe Ya was safe, her mood improved instantly, and she felt that there was no better news in this world than this.

"I just realized now that He Ya was right, but I did a lot of wrong things." Lu Dong Qingya's mood became depressed again.

Yang Jiu persuaded: "Everyone will make mistakes, but the most precious thing about people is that they can correct their mistakes."

Lu Dong Qingya nodded in agreement, and she also suddenly became enlightened.

She didn't understand Ludong Heya's intentions in doing that before, but now she understands everything. There are really too many benefits for Tubo to be merged into the Great Xia Empire.

Now Tubo has to pay tribute to the Great Xia Empire every year, ten thousand cattle and sheep each ten thousand horses, this is not a small amount.

Once Tubo became part of the Great Xia Empire, the yearly coins would be exempted, and even supported by the Great Xia court, so that the life of the Tubo people would be better.

Don't look at the common people's resistance to joining the Great Xia Empire, but when the real benefits are in their hands, what will they say?

Ludong Qingya knew that in the following propaganda, she had to explain to the people what benefits they could get. Given time, I believe no one would object.

Ludong Qingya is very confident about this.

With the lessons learned from Ludong Heya, she knew that to accomplish this, she had to be wary of the people around her.

Not only her two younger sisters, but also those important ministers all want to be Xin Zanpu.

Ludong Qingya is not Zanpu now, she is only in power temporarily.

Just as she kicked Lu Dongheya off, those guys can also kick her off.

"Jiu Ye, if Tubo is merged into Great Xia, can the people of Tubo..." Lu Dong Qingya hesitated, even embarrassed to ask.

Her idea still has to give tangible benefits to the common people, only in this way can the public's mouth be blocked.

The Great Xia Empire is now rich and powerful, if it really goes to war against Tubo, Tubo will definitely not be an opponent.

But it is not easy to conquer a country by force.

It may be possible to temporarily control this country, but the people of this country will never give up their resistance.

Only by winning the hearts of the people first is the long-term solution.

Yang Jiu understood what Ludong Qingya meant, and said with a smile: "If Tubo is merged into Daxia, the people of Tubo will be exempted from corvee and tax for five years, and various preferential treatment will be given in the future."

"This alone is enough to prove the sincerity of the Celestial Dynasty." Lu Dong Qingya breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Jiu smiled and said: "As for other aspects, everything is negotiable. No matter what promise you make to the people of Tubo, as long as it is not too much, I believe the sage will agree."

"With Master Jiu's words, I am more confident that I can do what He Ya failed to do." Lu Dong Qingya laughed.

Seeing that Ludong Qingya has been completely controlled by the white paper, Yang Jiu said bluntly: "Princess, if you also propose to annex the country, I believe there must be many opponents, who is the most threatening, you find a way to get their blood pass it to me."

"Blood?" Lu Dong Qingya was a little puzzled.

But looking at Yang Jiu nodding, she finally understood that perhaps her change was also due to the blood she sent just now.

It's just that the truth is not so important anymore, what is important is that she must work hard for the annexation of the country.

Tubo and the Central Plains are often at war, making the people of the two countries miserable, and the biggest beneficiaries of the annexation are the people.

Coming out of the palace, Yang Jiu felt rather relaxed.

When he returned to the inn, Jueqing was still awake.

Seeing Yang Jiu come back safely, a smile appeared on Rueqing's face.

After sitting down, Yang Jiu took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "I have convinced Ludong Qingya, and now Ludong Qingya, like Ludong Heya, will work hard for the annexation of the country."

"Xianggong, how did you do it?" Jueqing always felt that there seemed to be a magical power in Yang Jiu that could change the people around him.

Fortunately, Yang Jiu is kind, and has a heart for the people of the world. If Yang Jiu is that kind of devil with ulterior motives, it will definitely be a nightmare for the world.

Yang Jiu said in shock: "Of course it depends on my personal charm."

It is unbelievable to say this heartlessly, maybe Yang Jiu used poison or something.

Ludong Qingya is human after all, and all human beings are afraid of death, even if they are not afraid of death, they will have other weaknesses.

"Then can we go back?" Rueqing asked again.

After leaving Chang'an for nearly a month, she never expected that she would miss Yang Yun so much.

Yang Jiu said: "Wait a few more days."

Ludong Qingya will find a way to get the blood of other people tomorrow, and Yang Jiu has to think about how to write the lives of those people.

When the two went out the next day, they heard many people talking on the street.

Ludong Qingya no longer pursues Ludong Heya's crimes, and even hopes that Ludong Heya will take the initiative to return to the palace, and Ludong Qingya will personally make amends.

The people in Tubo felt that this was not a good omen.

If it wasn't that Ludong Qingya was deliberately defrauding Ludong Heya, then it was Ludong Qingya's current thinking, which was probably the same as Ludong Heya's, wanting to bring Tubo into the Great Xia Empire.

The life of a subjugated slave is difficult, this is the truth that a three-year-old child knows.

Naturally, what the people are most worried about is that Ludong Qingya will follow the old path of Ludong Heya.

"The people are right to worry about this." Jueqing can understand the feelings of the people in Tubo.

Normally speaking, after Tubo was merged into the Daxia Empire, the people of Tubo were untouchables compared to the people of Daxia.

Since ancient times, everyone knows what happened to the untouchables.

No matter how the Great Xia court promises, the Tubo people will not believe it.

Yang Jiudao: "It's easy to annex a country, but it's very difficult to annex their culture."

Only the cultural fusion of multiple countries can become a country.

"I don't have the ambitions of March. I always feel that the current situation is good. As long as we are strong enough, the neighboring countries in the four directions will not dare to invade." The heartless voice was very low.

Turning the corner of the street, I saw that Suan Shixian was setting up a stall not far away.

None of the Tubo people who came and went stopped.

Even the Immortal of Death didn't shout any more, since he got the money from Yang Jiu anyway, it didn't matter whether the fortune-telling business opened or not.

"Jiu Ye, how was last night?" Immortal Suan Shi was quite excited.

If he calculated correctly, he would definitely be able to get more money from Yang Jiu, so that he would have enough money to go back to Chang'an.

Yang Jiu sneered and said, "There is no danger at all, how can people live in water?"

"There's no danger?" Immortal Suan Si widened his eyes, unable to believe it.

It is impossible for Ludong Qingya to let Yang Jiu go.

This is very certain of death, and there will never be a mistake.

"No, I think Master Jiu must have jumped into the water to escape last night, right?" Immortal Suan Si was very confident in his hexagram skills.

Yang Jiudao: "If Princess Chang wants to kill me, do you think I can still go shopping leisurely?"

Immortal Suansi's expression froze, which seemed to make sense.

Am I really wrong?

The Immortal of Death began to divination again.

"How could this be?" Immortal Suan Shi was dumbfounded when he saw the latest hexagram.

He asked with a heartless smile: "How about this hexagram?"

"Master Jiu has become a noble person in Ludong, how is this possible?" Immortal Suan Si stared at Yang Jiu with wide eyes, hoping that Yang Jiu could give an explanation.

Yang Jiu smiled and said, "Because I have a concubine talisman, and the eldest princess wants a child."

"It's that simple?" The Immortal Suansi asked loudly.

Yang Jiu and Jueqing had already left without looking back.

Even the dead immortal still couldn't figure it out, and continued to fiddle with the hexagrams, the more he counted, the more frightened he became.

"Jiuye, the eldest princess has an invitation." A guard commander suddenly stopped the two of them.

Yang Jiu plans to take Jueqing to eat beef.

There is a shop with sauced beef that smells so mouth-watering from afar.

"The eldest princess has already prepared meals." The guard commander said again.

After all, it was almost dinner time, and if the meal was ignored, the guard commander was worried that Yang Jiu would not enter the palace.

However, Yang Jiu knew that Lu Dong Qingya had invited him into the palace, and most likely he had gotten the blood of those people.

This matter is not in a hurry, Yang Jiu asked the guard to go back first and tell Lu Dong Qingya that he will enter the palace after lunch.

The commander of the guards had no choice but to follow suit. After all, Lu Dong Qingya had repeatedly told him that everything should be obeyed by Yang Jiu, and Yang Jiu should not be offended.

The captain of the guards found it inconceivable that the eldest princess, who had always been arrogant, would bow her knees to a corpse stitcher from the heaven.

I have to say that the sauce beef in this store is really delicious.

Both Yang Jiu and Jueqing ate a lot, and drinking a jug of wine, couldn't be more comfortable.

After eating and drinking enough, he was about to check out and leave when he saw a group of burly Tubo men rushing in.

"Sit down, all sit down for me." A strong man shouted in a rough voice.

He used Tubo language, which he couldn't understand.

Yang Jiu explained to her in a low voice.

This group of people looks like bandits, but this is Jiqu City, and bandits cannot run amok here.

There was a person who was in a hurry to leave, but was knocked down by the strong man with a punch.

The rest of the thoughtful people sat still in their seats, judging by the posture.

The owner of the shop was a thin old man, he hurried out of the counter and said, "Master Dog, please allow me a few more days, I will be able to raise money soon."

"I remember you said the same thing last time." The strong man named Dog Lord stared at the shop owner coldly.

The shop owner said: "I promise, this time I will be able to..."

"I gave you a chance." Lord Dog waved the ax in his hand, and the ax swished, and it landed heavily on the shop owner's shoulder.

The store owner was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and soon there were water droplets dripping from his crotch.

Master Dog's martial arts is really not weak, he swung the ax so swiftly, but he didn't hurt the shop owner after falling on his shoulder.

"If you don't have any money today, these people don't even think about leaving." Lord Dog said harshly.

The shop owner sat down on the ground and said, "Master Dog, one day, just one day, okay?"

"Right now." Master Dog refused to let go.

He has given the store owner many chances, if he backs down again this time, it will only encourage the store owner to not pay back the money.

The owner of this shop is from the Central Plains. It is not easy to open a shop here in Jiqu City, and he is often bullied by Tubo people.

If it weren't for the good income, he would have gone back to the Central Plains with his family long ago.

Yang Jiu hurried into the palace, got up and asked, "How much does the boss owe you?"

"What's wrong? You want to pay it back for him?" Lord Dog glared at Yang Jiu.

Yang Jiu smiled and said, "Let's talk about the silver first."

"100 taels of gold." Lord Dog said.

The store owner was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said in a trembling voice, "Master Dog, I owe you 100 taels of silver."

This silver turns into gold, that's a long way off.

"A few days ago it was 100 taels of silver, so why can't I charge some interest today?" Master Dog sneered.

Since some people want to be taken advantage of, if they don't make more points, it really can't be justified.

Yang Jiu walked towards Lord Dog and said with a smile, "I will pay for the gold that the store owes you."

The store owner couldn't believe it.

Lord Dog was also a little confused, frowning and asked: "Really?"

"A mere 100 taels of gold is like dirt to me." Yang Jiu shot suddenly as he spoke.

Although Master Gou has high martial arts skills, he was caught off guard and his acupoints were sealed by Yang Jiu.

Yang Jiu snatched his ax and asked with a smile, "Master Dog, I wonder how much your life is worth?"

Lord Dog finally understood that from the very beginning, Yang Jiu had no intention of paying the money, but wanted to use his life to pay off the debt.

Yang Jiu was really smart to do so, and he was able to leave here smoothly.

But the shopkeeper's family couldn't escape.

"My lord, please hold your hands high and don't hurt me..." The shop owner couldn't imagine what would happen to his family after offending Lord Dog.

Yang Jiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, when I chop off all their heads, they won't bother you anymore."

"Brother, I have no grievances or enmities with you, why do you..." Hearing Yang Jiu's words, Lord Dog was inexplicably panicked.

Yang Jiudao: "You also know that so many of us have no grievances against you, but you restrict our freedom, why?"

"It's the little brother who has no eyes, brother, you leave immediately, I guarantee that my brother will not..." Lord Dog was worried that the ax in Yang Jiu's hand would fall.

This broad ax is so sharp that ordinary people can easily chop off his head with it, not to mention Yang Jiu's martial arts, it feels that he is not inferior to him at all.

At this moment, the guard commander walked into the store.

Seeing the situation in the store, the commander of the guards was a little confused.

"Master Dog, are you making trouble here again?" The commander of the guards knew Lord Dog, and now he was worried that Lord Dog would offend Yang Jiu.

Yang Jiu has the support of the eldest princess, and no one can provoke her in Jiqu City.

 Thanks to Su Rui and I have no name for the monthly support of Astigmatism Pili.

  Thanks to all fellow Taoists who subscribed to vote.
