There was a moment of silence inside and outside the hall, and from a distance I heard the ministers shouting loudly: "By order of the king, the Shang clan is here to attend."

Xiahou stared intently at the end of the steps. Under the guidance of an internal minister, a strong man respectfully folded his hands on his chest and walked up slowly. This big man's skin was slightly yellow, and he was only only slightly taller than Xiahou.

But he is a little shorter, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a face full of righteousness. No matter how you look at it, it is pleasing to the eye. Especially here in Xiahou, he looks at this man with almost admiration. Yao, Shun, and Yu Tang are all Chinese people know this term.

, but besides Xia Hou, who else can see a real person with his own eyes?

Shang Tang's surname was Zi, and his given name was Lu. Tang was his self-title, also known as Wu Tang and Cheng Tang. This is not a historical and archaeological data, so we will call him Shang Tang, who is familiar to everyone in the world.

Shang Tang had something on his mind. He walked up with a frown on his face. He felt that someone in the crowd around him was looking at him intently and almost madly. He couldn't help but feel surprised. When he turned around, he saw a majestic dead man.

Staring at himself, looking at his description and dress, he was a member of the barbaric tribe in the south, but he didn't know his origin. But seeing that there was no malice in the big man's eyes, Shang Tang just nodded towards him, showing a trace of generosity.

smile.

Xiahou also smiled, raised the Tongjue and poured the wine into his mouth, but only three or five drops of wine were poured out. He couldn't help but be startled. Looking at the wine jue in his hand that he had pinched, Xiahou shook his head and took the wine.

He threw the copper cake under the table, grabbed the wine jar, and drank a lot of good wine while watching Shang Tang strode into the hall and knelt down in front of King Xia's seat.

"I belong to the Shang clan, Shang Tang, and I have met the king."

King Xia laughed hahahahaha for a long time, then squinted his eyes and looked Shangtang up and down for a while, and said pleasantly: "That's all, it's hard work coming from afar. Come and watch."

A sapphire bill appeared next to Xing Tiane and other important ministers. Several ministers served wine, meat and delicacies. Shang Tang knelt down behind the bill.

King Xia raised the wine cup, glanced at everyone present from left to right, and loudly said: "Come, let's all have a cup of Shang Tang. However, I wonder what you are here for this time?"

Shang Tang drank the cup of wine calmly, stood up, and saluted: "Your Majesty, there is something that requires your Majesty to make the decision."

King Xia was in a good mood, very good. Just now, Xia Hou gave him a hard lesson on Hai Ren, showing off his face. So, he said generously: "Making the decision? Okay, I will make the decision for you."

, what's the matter, tell me. Haha, could it be that you wanted to marry a foreigner and were scolded by your father? "

The important ministers in the hall burst into laughter. However, Shang Tang remained calm. After another deep salute, he said calmly: "Your Majesty, this time it concerns the Dongyi people. In recent months, the Dongyi people have massively invaded the territory of our Shang clan.

They have seized several of our fertile pastures. My subject’s father is asking the king to make the decision for our Shang clan. The barbarians are powerful and our Shang clan cannot resist them."

Xiang Liuyou's eyes flashed, and Xing Tian'e just drank without caring. In the end, Shen Gongli, the head of the Shen Gong family, jumped up: "Your Majesty, the Dongyi people bully my Daxia vassal in this way. It is really abominable. I have to go.

Teach them a lesson."

Xing Tiane raised his head and shouted: "We are about to go to war with the Hai people, and now we are going to war with the Dongyi people. How should we deal with the military pay and food?"

Xiang Liubi said quietly: "If Daxia's army goes to deal with the Dongyi people, it will naturally require the royal court to allocate military pay and food. However, the closest to the Shang clan is the clan land of the Shen Gong family, right?"

King Xia blinked his eyes, thought for a while, and said vaguely: "The battle with the Hai people is about to begin. Jiuli in the south and Hu Jie in the north will also leave a large army to watch over them to deal with the Dongyi people, but there is no need to make a big fanfare.

Go and raise troops to attack the Dongyi people." Xia Hou could see from King Xia's face that he seemed to be reluctant to spend the military pay and food and grass to fight against the Dongyi people. He was clearly stingy.

Shang Tang sat down again, placed the wine prince firmly on the table, and said in a deep voice: "At the junction of our tribe and the Dongyi people, within our territory, we have a new jade mine with excellent quality.

.My father said, "Which Wu family raises troops to repel Dongyi for my Shang clan, I will give you this jade mine with both hands!"

The eyes of King Xia, Xiang Liuhui, Xing Tiane, Shen Gongli and even Fangfeng Yi all gleamed at the same time, and they asked in unison: "How is the reserve?"

Shang Tang bowed and said, "The monthly output is more than a thousand square meters of high-quality raw jade."

Before the four disciples could speak, the King of Xia had already shouted loudly: "Wonderful, the Shang tribe is a vassal state of Daxia. The Dongyi people boldly invaded, but they don't take Daxia seriously? Send an order to Hun Tianhou and lead Wangting Xiongqi.

Biao Cavalry, Tiger Cavalry, and Peng Cavalry will send out troops today to teach those bastards from Dongyi a lesson."

Xing Tiane spread his hands, his face full of helplessness. This king started too quickly.

But Shen Gongli was unwilling to let the benefits slip away in vain. He heard him shouting loudly: "Your Majesty, my clan is close to the Shang clan. If the ninth prince sends troops, it will take a long time. It is better to let my clan raise troops nearby."

The crusade will be one."

The King of Xia refused and shook his head repeatedly: "What the Prime Minister said was wrong. The royal army has been out of action for a long time and will not be reused in the future. This time is just a training opportunity. How can you let your clan do it for you? Especially the Shang clan is my vassal state in Daxia.

If I, the Imperial Court of Great Xia, do not respond, but your Duke Shen and his family send troops to conquer, wouldn’t that make the Dongyi people laugh?"

Shen Gongli's face was full of displeasure. King Xia seemed to think that eating alone was a bit too much. He blinked his eyes, thought for a moment, and reluctantly said: "Well, what the Prime Minister said makes sense. When the royal army was marching from Anyi,

As time went on, it was too late. The four ministers, Prime Minister and Prime Minister, each sent out an army to clear out the Dongyi people in the territory of the Shang clan first. When the royal army arrived, they would join forces and teach the Dongyi people a lesson.

It doesn’t matter if you are a foreigner.”

Xing Tian'e and the four old men immediately showed smiles. It's easy to say that when the army arrives at the jade mine, they will dig it to their heart's content first and then hand it over to Hun Tianhou. This won't harm their friendship.

Xia Hou only found it funny, how come the monarchs and ministers of Daxia, sending troops to fight, forced the underworld to divide the spoils. Looking at Shang Tang, who was sitting there motionless and expressionless, the flash of light in his eyes was...

Disdainful?

Shang Tang stood up again and flattered the King of Xia and the Prime Minister for a while, thanking them for their great kindness to the country. Then, Shang Tang changed the topic and sighed: "Your Majesty, this time our Shang clan is under the influence of

The Dongyi people invaded wantonly, but they suffered a loss due to insufficient weapons. Therefore, my father told me that if the king is willing, I am willing to pay a lot of money to obtain a batch of fine armor and weapons. In addition, in order to show our respect for the king,

, I will be accompanied by a hundred virgins from various tribes, please accept it with your Majesty’s approval.”

A flash of red light flashed across King Xia's face, and he said excitedly: "You can just hand over those hundred virgins to the manager of Black Ming. Hmm, do you want ordnance? There are various mineral deposits in your Shang clan's territory, and there are many craftsmen. You also need

Looking for weapons from Anyi?"

Shang Tang bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, how can the craftsmen in my clan compare with the master shaman craftsmen in Anyi?"

King Xia blinked his eyes and looked at Shen Gongli. Shen Gongli immediately stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, there happened to be a batch of fine armors and weapons in the military warehouse recently, ready to provide troops for the various departments of the Royal Court Secret Service.

Replacement. If the Shang clan really needs it urgently, we can discuss it and give it to them for the time being. However, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to create this kind of ordnance."

Shang Tang said in a harmonious voice: "The Dongyi people have gone too far to bully others. I am willing to pay a 20% increase for those weapons to teach the Dongyi people a lesson."

Hearing that Shang Tang took the initiative to raise the price, King Xia's face burst with joy, and he smiled repeatedly and said: "That's very good, that's very good. I wonder how many sets of armor weapons the Shang clan needs?"

Shang Tang said something very lively: "It depends on whether the red gold brought this time is enough. If it is enough, the more the better. I also want to ask the king to replace the shields with the troops of the royal court.

, give us a batch too."

To deal with the Dongyi people who are good at shooting, shields are indeed the best thing. King Xia nodded: "Okay, the prime minister is responsible for this matter. Those shields can be considered as gifts. But those armors and weapons are not worth their price.

A big piece of money is missing. Although our country is strong in Daxia, this fortune has been accumulated one big money after another."

Shang Tang fell on the ground and thanked him repeatedly.

Xiahou sat in his seat, feeling uncomfortable all over, and his body was twisting and turning desperately. The feeling Shangtang gave him was like a deep pool, unfathomable, and it made his heart feel chilly. A kind of chill.

Instinct kept reminding Xiahou not to go against this person. This feeling was so bad that it sent a chill down the back of Xiahou's neck, and he immediately calmed down along with the ups and downs of his mood after meeting Shang Tang just now.

Come down.

Looking back at Bai, this bad Pixiu had fallen to the ground with white eyes. The smell of alcohol was coming out of his mouth, and he seemed to be drunk again. Inside and outside the hall, the monarchs, ministers and people of Daxia,

There were thunderous cheers, and the wine bar was raised high and took a big gulp of the wine. More dancers came out from the back of the hall, singing and dancing in the hall, and the sound of the jade chimes floated far away.

After drinking a few more sips of wine, seeing Xiang Liurou and a group of his flashy disciples rushing into the main hall to watch the dancers, Xiahou couldn't help but feel a sense of boredom in his heart. He patted Xingtian Dafeng on the shoulder and asked in a low voice: "What's going on inside the palace?"

, can people watch it at will?"

Xingtian Dafeng was also a little drunk. He looked back at Xiahou and waved: "It doesn't matter if you go for a walk. As long as you can enter the palace gate, you can visit the ninety-nine halls in the front palace and many gardens. Then the harem is

The King's living quarters cannot be entered, but there are great witches from the witch palace guarding it, so you don't have to worry about going to the wrong place. If you want to see something new, feel free to go."

After a pause, Xing Tian Dafeng took out a palm-sized red gold token carved with the image of a flaming black horse and stuffed it to Xiahou: "You can walk wherever you want, no problem. As long as you don't tear down the pillars of the palace hall.

, no one will care what you do in the palace." Shaking his head, Xing Tian Dafeng turned around again, forcibly pulled a familiar friend beside him and poured wine into his mouth.

Xia Hou nodded and stuffed Bai under the bill to prevent him from being stepped on. Seeing that there were a group of people drinking and having fun all around, it was really not interesting. He immediately took Xingtian Dafeng's token and went down to the ninth level of the main hall.

Platform, walked towards a green garden on the left. He originally wanted to go to the place where the Kyushu Cauldron was to see if he could really absorb more Yuan Power through the Kyushu Cauldron, but think about it, since the Kyushu Cauldron is

Naturally, someone was secretly watching the artifact of the Great Xia Kingdom. It was too abrupt to run around and touch the Jiuzhou Cauldron alone, so I could only suppress this touching thought.

Xiahou felt confused as he walked around freely. Will he join the Black Army's war against the Hai people and massacre the Hai people's soldiers and people?

He had no motivation to do this because he did not have any sense of identity with this Great Xia. Although various signs had proved that this should be the lost link in history. However, he could not explain why there was no moon in the sky but there was a star in the sky.

There is an extra big star between Mars and Jupiter. Especially the land under your feet is really ridiculously large.

Everything was like a dream, Xiahou didn't want to risk his life and kill people for an almost illusory country. He was a warrior, not a butcher who slaughtered for the will of a certain king.

The body passed through a restriction, and the scenery in front of me changed and turned into a huge garden. There were several small peaks rising from the ground in the distance, and there were dense trees nearby. In the middle of the garden, there was a small lake with a radius of more than ten miles.

The sparkling water is the most beautiful time in early autumn. Xia Hou secretly admired the magical magic restrictions in the Daxia Palace. From the outside, the Daxia Palace looked like an ordinary large courtyard, but he didn't know how many layers of it had been compressed.

The space is inside, with layers of lakes and mountains, palaces and pavilions, it is simply a palace of gods.

Standing in the woods, I looked at the lake for a long time. The cool breeze blew, and the water on the lake rippled. Countless leaves flew up from the colorful leaf forest on the shore, and scattered into the lake. I saw the entire crystal-like lake surface.

The spots are speckled, and the colors suddenly become richer.

The cool wind blew on his body, and Xia Hou shivered violently. He looked around in confusion, hid behind a very tall tree, untied his belt, and urinated freely while using the water jet.

Washing away a few weeds with purple flowers beside the roots of the tree, Xiahou hummed happily: "Wonderful, the cool breeze is refreshing, the scenery is pleasant, but this open-air public toilet is excellent. I don't know what is inside the palace.

,Besides me, how many people dare to urinate here?"

Suddenly there was a slight cough behind him, and Xiahou shivered with fright. He quickly tied up his belt and looked back in embarrassment.

A few dozen feet behind, there was standing a young man holding a big wooden bucket in his hand. Judging from his broad shoulders and strong posture, he had a pair of bright eyes on his red face, and he was extremely energetic.

That's enough. When Xia Hou took a look at it, he couldn't help being shocked. This young man clearly had all the meridians, and there was a natural flow of fresh air in his body. His internal energy was very strong. But look at the green cloth shorts he was wearing.

We also know that his status in the palace is very humble.

Xia Hou smiled dryly: "Brother, haha, the autumn weather is so refreshing."
