Journey to the West Tiger Demon, mortals urge me to ascend the throne

To say that the Queen Mother's move was a desperate move.

She was now forced to admit that the Divine Tiger Kingdom could be dealt with by the Heavenly Court.What’s more, I have to admit that the one that Heavenly Court trusts more than Bilingshan is the Divine Tiger Kingdom.

Since it is impossible to deal with the Shenhu Kingdom now, it is better to cooperate first, and wait until Lingshan, a serious problem, is dealt with, and there is no interference from third parties, and then calm down to deal with the Shenhu Kingdom.

The Jade Emperor did not agree with the Queen Mother's decision at first. The Divine Tiger Kingdom had long been a thorn in his side, and he would not be happy if he did not pull it out.

But in the end, the Jade Emperor compromised.Because he couldn't refute the Queen Mother, even he had to admit now that he really couldn't ignore Lingshan and concentrate on dealing with the Shenhu Kingdom when Lingshan was watching her.

In other words, he really can't do anything to the Divine Tiger Kingdom now.He finally agreed to the Queen Mother's decision, but even after agreeing, he was still so angry that he turned blue from holding it in.

This is what Zhao Lei saw when he followed the fairy to the small banquet venue hosted by the Queen Mother and Jade Emperor.

The Queen Mother looks dignified, elegant and generous, and the Jade Emperor also looks sanctimonious, noble and majestic, but his face is very green, as if he has been punched several times and cannot be beaten but can only hold back and sulk.

When the Queen Mother saw Zhao Lei coming, she hurriedly said hello: "Master Shenhu, please sit down."

"You can drink melon, fruit, tea and water as you please."

Hearing the Queen Mother's words, Zhao Lei felt his mouth twitch. Don't worry, he had eaten a lot at the banquet just now, and he vomited after eating again.

Zhao Lei hurriedly thanked the Queen Mother. He did not dare to touch the various fairy fruits placed in front of him, mainly because he was too nervous.

"I wonder why the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother called me here?"

The banquet was held with bad intentions. Zhao Lei felt a secret murderous intention at the banquet. Although he didn't know why the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother did not take action in the end, it did not prevent the banquet from being classified as a Hongmen banquet.

If we don’t do anything about the big banquet, why don’t we have a small banquet and do it again?

It just didn't look like it, because Zhao Lei sensed the surroundings, and it seemed that except for himself and the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother, there were no other creatures. There were only a few fairies waiting at the door, ready to obey orders.

This made Zhao Lei confused about the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother's plan for a while, but he was too lazy to make any twists and turns, and he didn't want to decipher the implication, so he simply pointed it out directly.

Just tell me what you want from me.Zhao Lei thought while drinking tea, he wouldn't be able to find me anyway if nothing happens.

The Queen Mother probably didn't expect Zhao Lei to be so direct. After all, she didn't have much contact with Zhao Lei. The person she met in the palace before was also a polite and polite person.

The subsequent dealings with the Divine Tiger Kingdom were mostly confrontations in the air without even meeting each other. Zhao Lei dealt with it so skillfully every time that he gradually became a shrewd and polite image in the heart of the Queen Mother.

With this characterization, the Queen Mother always felt that Zhao Lei was a man who played tricks and played tricks. Unexpectedly, Zhao Lei went straight to the topic as soon as they met. The Queen Mother was actually choked and could only cast her eyes on the Jade Emperor.

She felt that there was something wrong with her previous judgment of Zhao Lei, so she was unwilling to take the initiative to answer the call at this moment. She asked the Jade Emperor to chat with Zhao Lei, and she wanted to take this opportunity to re-judge Zhao Lei.

The Jade Emperor understood the meaning of the Queen Mother's gaze and immediately answered the words. However, he did not answer Zhao Lei's question. Instead, he chuckled and said: "Since the canonization of the Emperor, the True Monarch of the Divine Tiger has rarely come to heaven, and so have the Queen Mother and I." , I want to meet the Shenhu True Lord who is in the limelight, so I took the initiative to invite him."

Zhao Lei sneered, "Shit, you haven't seen me when you were canonized?"
These heavenly beings are really annoying. They have to talk in a roundabout way, as if they can't speak without rolling up a ball of wool and tugging at it.Zhao Lei complained bitterly in his heart, even though he said it bluntly, these two people still started to fight with him.

In fact, why doesn't Zhao Lei know the little thoughts of the Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor?Although he couldn't guess everything, Zhao Lei, as one of the players in the game, knew the current situation well.

No matter why the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother didn't take action against him at the banquet, as long as she didn't take action somewhere, it meant that she wouldn't take action in the future.The reason is simple. That was the best opportunity to take action. The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother knew better than Zhao Lei, but they didn't take action either because they couldn't do it or because they had other decisions.

Judging from the current situation, Zhao Lei judged that they had made other decisions and did not attack him.

All management decisions are made from the top.As the top administrator of Heaven, the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother's decision must be based on the current situation.

What is the current situation? There are three powerful forces, the new but rapidly developing Divine Tiger Kingdom, the oldest and now the most powerful Heavenly Court, and Heavenly Court's old rival, Lingshan.

These three forces stand together in the world, and the emergence of the Divine Tiger Kingdom breaks the original balance of interests.

The first thing a new force does when it emerges is to plunder the resources of the two established forces.There are only so many resources. If a new force doesn't steal it from the established forces, will it have to go out and grab it on its own?

What's more, as long as a new force appears, some of the things in the hands of the old forces will flow to the new force uncontrollably.

Just like the people of the Divine Tiger Kingdom, they were the incense of faith in Heaven at first, but now they have become the people of the Divine Tiger Kingdom. With the protection of the Divine Tiger Kingdom, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and they have stopped sending incense to the Heaven for a long time.

This is to rob the resources of the Heavenly Court, and the Divine Tiger Kingdom is so good, and the incense flowing to the Divine Tiger Kingdom is due to people's personal wishes.Even Tianting Lingshan cannot forcibly control the incense and not leave it to others, so even if the Divine Tiger Kingdom is not willing, it will rob what Tianting Lingshan already has.

Otherwise, Tianting Lingshan wouldn’t be so anxious to destroy the Divine Tiger Kingdom. As long as you don’t actually touch the cake, who cares who you are?
So if you want to keep your original weight when you are already on the table and can't catch up, you have to find a way.

Should we strangle the new forces in the cradle so that they cannot touch the table, or should we support the new forces and kick down the old forces that were on the table before, so that they can spit out what they have in their mouths.

Zhao Lei thought that Tianting would probably choose the latter method, otherwise why would it hold a small banquet to invite him?

Think about it, you can't get anything by killing the new forces, but overthrowing the old forces can re-divide what the old forces have. It's not surprising that Heaven would want to deal with Lingshan first.

Zhao Lei's mind was spinning very fast. Since the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother were unwilling to speak directly, he would just think about it by himself and sort it out in a short while.But Zhao Lei was not in a hurry. Now that Jade Emperor and the others had finished thinking about the guessing game, Zhao Lei was happy to pretend not to know. Now that all the things that should be dealt with were sorted out, what's the big deal in playing with them?
So Zhao Lei also smiled.

"It is the little god who has neglected to pay his respects. It is the little god's honor to be cared about by the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother."

The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother didn't talk about the business, so Zhao Lei simply didn't even come close to the business. He just pretended that he was really here, just like the Jade Emperor said, it was a small banquet they had alone because they wanted to see him.

This made the Jade Emperor so angry that he almost vomited blood. You, a sesame official who was recruited here, have been given the false name of the Divine Tiger True Monarch. It is nothing. Why do they have to hold a small banquet just to see you?He is not the son of the Jade Emperor.

It happened that this small banquet was indeed hosted by the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother, and Zhao Lei was also invited by them. Even what Zhao Lei said just now was in accordance with what the Jade Emperor said.

This was a real act of not giving face. The Jade Emperor was so depressed that his liver ached, his face turned green and blue, and he stopped answering.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother could only speak, take Zhao Lei's words, and comfort the Jade Emperor.She guessed that Zhao Lei had thought of something, and couldn't help but sigh, this True Lord of the Divine Tiger really has an exquisite heart with seven orifices, and he is really smart.

Zhao Lei had no idea how much he thought about the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother saw Zhao Lei's completely opposite attitude.If she hadn't thought of something, how could she have such an attitude in an instant? The Queen Mother secretly sighed, this Divine Tiger Lord is really something to be looked down upon.

So the Queen Mother stopped beating around the bush and simply took the initiative to bring the topic to business.

After all, your tricks are of no use to smart people and will only be a waste of time.

"To be honest, we don't just want to see True Lord Shenhu."

"But we have something to discuss."

Zhao Lei's eyes narrowed and he finally arrived.

He slowly put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the Queen Mother.

"May I ask, what is it?"

This is a signal. If I want to hear it, it means that there is a probability that I will agree.

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, and then tentatively talked about the situation in the entire world of heaven, earth, and human beings. Zhao Lei had already analyzed these things himself, so when the Queen Mother spoke, he just listened and nodded from time to time, without expressing any opinions at all.

This made the Queen Mother really confused about Zhao Lei's attitude, so unknowingly, the initiative in the normal conversation was in Zhao Lei's hands, and the Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor had to guess what Zhao Lei meant.

How could the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother, who was used to being aloof and being fawned over by others, be good at this?He couldn't figure it out at all, and his frown became deeper and deeper.

Zhao Lei just listened quietly until the Queen Mother finished analyzing the situation and stopped talking.

He was also thinking that the current attitude of Heavenly Court was actually very clear. Zhao Lei didn't need the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother to say it clearly, but Zhao Lei could also know that they now wanted to cooperate with the Divine Tiger Kingdom.

They plan to temporarily form an alliance with the Divine Tiger Kingdom to deal with Lingshan together, but what good will this do to the Divine Tiger Kingdom?

Zhao Lei was thinking. He had been struggling before, whether to deal with Lingshan first or Heavenly Court.

According to the advantages and disadvantages of fighting, it makes sense to make friends at a distance and attack at close range. It is better to appease Lingshan first and then attack Tianting at the same time.

But this also falls into Lingshan's favor. Lingshan's overall strength is weaker than Tianting, so naturally it is unwilling to start a war first. They have repeatedly tried to provoke them, but they have made up their mind to watch the fire from the other side.

If there is no accident, no matter how much the Shenhu Kingdom thinks about it, it can only satisfy Lingshan's wish to watch the fire from across the bank. But now that Heavenly Court has taken the initiative to establish diplomatic relations and wants to cooperate, it needs to think carefully.

Lingshan is weak, and fighting with Tianting, no matter how you think about it, it is much more cost-effective than the Shenhu Kingdom to take the initiative to gnaw on Tianting, the hardest bone, and then fight Lingshan.

So Zhao Lei quickly made a decision, that is, to cooperate with Tianting.

But we can't let Heavenly Court achieve its goal so simply. In order to prevent Heavenly Court from breaking their promise, it won't work if they don't show some sincerity.

So Zhao Lei deliberately pretended that he didn't expect it and didn't answer. He seemed to be still waiting for the Queen Mother to continue talking, and even gave the Queen Mother a confused look.

Whoever speaks first at this time will lose. The Queen Mother wants Zhao Lei to speak first. It is best to directly state the ultimate goal in order to regain the right to speak. The right to speak is in hand. The price and rules are decided by heaven. .

But Zhao Lei was not fooled. The right to speak was in his hands now, and it was impossible for him to let him go. If Tianting kept silent, the worst he could do was leave.

Although it is easy to cooperate with Tianting, it is not impossible not to cooperate. The recent progress in the strength of the Divine Tiger Kingdom is still very objective. In addition, Tianting has lost two generals, and the probability of the Divine Tiger Kingdom to conquer Tianting has suddenly become much greater. .

So Zhao Lei is really calmer than the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother. The one who urgently needs cooperation now is not Zhao Lei, but the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother.

The Divine Tiger Kingdom is no longer something that Heavenly Court can manipulate casually. Heavenly Court is willing to put down its efforts for peace talks while focusing on Lingshan, which means that in their eyes, the Divine Tiger Kingdom is already more troublesome than Lingshan.

Heaven wants to pick soft persimmons to bite, so it targets Lingshan. Otherwise, it can only bite new persimmons that are hard and astringent.Tianting doesn't want to come, so Tianting is more anxious than Zhao Lei. They need cooperation more. As long as they are anxious, they can't get the right to speak.

Sure enough, in the end it was the Queen Mother who gave in first, surrendered her right to speak, and took the initiative to express her request for cooperation.

They wanted to ensure that the Divine Tiger Nation would not stab them in the back, so they deliberately brought the Divine Tiger Nation into the war and asked the Divine Tiger Nation to send troops.

Zhao Lei sneered, "The Divine Tiger Kingdom sends troops, and then you go to stab the Divine Tiger Kingdom again?"
Does Zhao Lei look like such a stupid person?Will you agree to this request?

"Since it's cooperation, we should show some sincerity, right?"

"Since you two want to cooperate with the Divine Tiger Kingdom, you must regard the Divine Tiger Kingdom as an equal, not a subordinate. So why should you order the Divine Tiger Kingdom?"

When the Queen Mother heard this, her heart skipped a beat, it was over.

What they neglected was that, according to their original idea, they were to let the Divine Tiger Kingdom serve as a subordinate of the Heavenly Court and order the Divine Tiger Kingdom to send troops to attack Lingshan, so that the Heavenly Court could stab the Divine Tiger Kingdom behind the back, eat the Divine Tiger Kingdom, and then take the Lingshan Mountain.

But the right to speak in this conversation has always been in Zhao Lei's hands. To convince Zhao Lei, they kept retreating. Unknowingly, Zhao Lei was on the same level as them. Since they are on the same level, the Shenhu Kingdom is no longer a subordinate unit. Naturally, You don't need to take their orders.

The Queen Mother's face turned pale when she heard Zhao Lei continue to speak.

"Since we are going to send troops, we can't just send troops from the Divine Tiger Kingdom. Let's attack Lingshan together. How can it be justified if the Heavenly Court doesn't take action?"

"Heavenly Court must also send troops, and they must send more troops than the Divine Tiger Kingdom."

"After all, Heaven is much stronger than our Divine Tiger Kingdom, isn't it?" (End of Chapter)
