Shanpuyu City, this city on the top of a mountain, is still as steep and majestic as ever.
At this time, the officials of the Jin Dynasty and the emperor's honor guard had arrived at the foot of Yucheng Mountain. Before Mu Sheng decided to stop by to visit Shanpu, all the ministers and officials repeatedly advised the emperor not to go to the barbarian territory easily. Who knows what might happen. However, the emperor did not listen to the advice and insisted on going. The ministers had no choice but to follow. Anyway, there were hundreds of thousands of troops protecting them, so it was expected that nothing major would happen. But how did they know that this mountain puppet was originally a Mu Sheng's old base.
When the patrol team arrived outside Yucheng, Prime Minister Zuo opened the curtains of his car and looked out to take a look at the extremely dangerous terrain of Yucheng not far away. He saw that the entire city was built on the top of the mountain. The wonders of such a mountain city were also reflected in the second round of the city. He was shocked when he came here once.
After the parade arrived, all the civil and military officials of the Jin Dynasty stepped out of the carriage. They all whispered to each other and secretly admired the majesty of Yucheng.
At this time, all the city lords and elders from the mountains outside Yucheng had gathered here early to greet their Emperor Changsheng, who was also the current Emperor of the Jin Dynasty.
These mountain puppet elders never imagined that their own master could still be the emperor of the Central Plains Kingdom? It was really mind-boggling that none of them expected such a jaw-dropping thing to happen.
Seeing the emperor's arrival, the elders of the mountain puppets all greeted the emperor with the highest etiquette and shouted long live your majesty. The level of respect made all the civil and military officials of the Jin Dynasty who were following the emperor feel ashamed. They felt that these elders of the mountain puppets and the city masters Meeting the emperor is like meeting a god.
The prime minister on the left, Gao Zhong, and the prime minister on the right, Wang Yi, looked at each other in bewilderment. They did not expect that the dignitaries above and below the mountain would be so respectful to their emperor. Of course, the southern barbarians of the mountain had such an attitude to face the emperor, so it was better for the civil and military officials of the Jin Dynasty to do so. The officials were very satisfied.
Mu Sheng said: "All the ministers are exempt from courtesy."
The Shanpuppet elders and the city lord then stood up and stood respectfully on both sides.
At this time, the Grand Master of the Mountain Puppet, Bortas, who was personally appointed by Mu Sheng in Qingyang Palace, also stepped forward to greet him and said: "Your Majesty, I am the Grand Zhongzai of the Mountain Puppet, Bortas. Now, His Majesty, the Great Emperor of the Jin Dynasty, has traveled thousands of miles to visit our mountain. We, the foreign ministers from foreign countries, feel extremely honored and ask His Majesty to come to our city to receive congratulations from all the people."
Before the emperor could express his position, Prime Minister Zuo stepped forward and asked: "Your Majesty Dazhongzai, why didn't you see me, King Zhennan, coming out to welcome my emperor?"
When Bortas heard this, he rolled his eyes and thought to himself, isn't the King of Zhennan right in front of him? And he came out to greet Mao's holy driver...
When Bortas saw that Mu Sheng was looking so rested, he had no choice but to step forward and make up lies, saying: "Gao Xiangguo, it's like this. My king had some enlightenment after practicing in seclusion a few years ago, and When I was in Yucheng, a monk from the Borneo Kingdom in the southern region came here to preach. My king had a very happy chat with the monk, so he welcomed the monk into the palace to preach specifically to me. Until later, for some unknown reason, my king I insisted on traveling to all the countries in the southern region alone with the monks. The ministers could not persuade me, so they had no choice but to let the king leave. Before leaving, my king temporarily handed over the important responsibility of the country and the country to the old man. Now, in all desperation, the old man also I have no choice but to overstep my bounds and come here to welcome the Emperor’s Holy Majesty on my behalf.”
Gao Zhong and Wang Yi understood as soon as they heard this. The old man in front of them was now the leader of the mountain puppets, and King Zhennan had already gone to who knows where.
Right Prime Minister Wang Yi was moved in his heart and asked: "Your Excellency Dazhongzai, when will King Zhennan return to the country?"
Bortas' expression became even more helpless, and he complained secretly, "How do I know when King Zhennan will come back?" You can't persuade the current emperor to abdicate and come back to us to become the King of Zhennan, right?
Bortas glanced at Mu Sheng's expressionless expression carefully, and had no choice but to make up a lie again: "This...this...our mountain puppet is thousands of miles away from all the countries in the southern region, and my king's journey is It’s so far away, and before I left, I didn’t tell you in detail when I would be returning. Maybe I’ll be back in a few years, or maybe I won’t be back for more than ten years…”
Upon hearing this, Gao Zhong frowned and said: "Your Excellency, Dazhongzai, the situation in the countries in the southern region of our country is now unstable. At this critical moment, how can King Zhennan abandon his country and ignore it? Why are you going to travel to all the countries in the southern region?"
Bortas said helplessly: "We also persuaded the king, but my king said that as long as we rely on the support of the heavenly kingdom, we can keep the country and the country safe for hundreds of years, so I feel free to travel, and the ministers and others have no choice but to Follow the king’s orders.”
When the prime ministers heard this, they seemed to be right.
Zuo Xiang Gao Zhong said helplessly: "Well, in that case, my emperor is visiting Shanpup this trip, so you must receive him well."
Bortas nodded repeatedly and said: "Gao Xiangguo, please rest assured that everyone on our mountain will receive His Majesty the Emperor with the etiquette of our Lord."
Gao Zhong was satisfied after hearing this.
At this time, Bolzongbi, the commander-in-chief of the Mountain Puppet, who was standing next to Bortas, stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, please move the chariot."
Mu Sheng nodded slightly, and with the help of Yang Jin, he climbed up the mountain on a luxurious chariot carried by sixty-eight people. This chariot was previously the exclusive vehicle of the Immortal Emperor Borges, and his pomp was always greater than that of the Emperor of the Central Plains.
Seeing this, the two people on the left and right frowned a little. Of course they guessed that this was the car of King Zhennan, but they didn't expect that this small country was actually grander than the emperor. Wang Yi, the right minister, shook his head secretly and made up his mind. The idea is to educate these rude barbarians not to exceed the rules.
Seeing the emperor getting up, all the civil and military officials and the elder city lords from the mountains followed the emperor to Yucheng.
At the foot of the mountain, the civil and military officials of the Jin Dynasty and the dignitaries of Yucheng all boarded the specially arranged two-person bamboo sedan and followed the emperor's chariot up the mountain. The civil and military officials of the Jin Dynasty were quite satisfied with this arrangement, although the journey up the mountain was long. It's not a long time, but there are hundreds of officials from the Jin Dynasty accompanying them. It's okay for the young ones, but some people are old and weak, so the mountaineering road is not easy to walk.
At this moment, everyone had entered the stone tunnel leading to the city, especially the civil and military officials of the Jin Dynasty. They were secretly surprised when they saw that there was this winding mountain tunnel inside the city.
Along the way, the two sedans on the left and right were walking side by side, swaying three times. Gao Zhong saw this strange scene and sighed: "Wang Xiangguo, these Southern Barbarians are really capable. They actually built the entire city on the mountain. I don’t know how much manpower and material resources it took to build such a majestic city.”
Wang Yi laughed when he heard this and said: "Gao Xiangguo, this city is so majestic. It cannot be built to its current scale overnight. This mountain country is small and weak. It will take at least several generations to build this city." "
Gao Zhong agreed: "What Wang Xiangguo said is true. It is rare for this city to develop to this scale. It seems that this mountain puppet has been standing in southern Xinjiang for hundreds of years. It has a few brushes."
Another quarter of an hour later, the emperor's guard of honor and all the civil and military officials formally entered the city. At this time, the people on both sides of Yucheng were already kneeling in dense numbers on both sides of the street. Seeing the emperor's chariot entering the city, the people on both sides shouted in unison. The shouts of long live continued until the emperor's guard of honor entered the castle.
As the great Zhongzai of the Mountain Puppet, Bortas naturally accompanied the emperor cautiously.
Mu Sheng was very satisfied with today's city entry ceremony. He nodded and said, "It seems that I chose the right person when I handed you over to take care of Yucheng."
Bortas smiled and said: "Thank you for your majesty's approval. Since your majesty has handed over this heavy responsibility to me, I naturally don't dare to be careless."
Mu Sheng glanced at Da Zhongzai who was following him and said with a smile: "Ta Si, the reason for traveling to all the countries in the southern region was well made up."
Bortas smiled helplessly and said: "Your Majesty, you are very grateful. I am also very anxious and wise."
Mu Sheng hummed, then turned around and asked, "By the way, I will take a rest later. In the afternoon, you will be responsible for convening a royal meeting to report in detail on the recent events in southern Xinjiang."
Naturally, Bortas nodded in agreement. Mu Sheng waved his hand and he retreated.
Returning to the familiar room in the castle, he walked to the terrace and saw the panoramic view of the entire city. But at this moment, Mu Sheng was frowning in thought, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this time, Yang Jin, the general manager of the inner court, came forward to report: "Your Majesty, Ajiu wants to see you?"
Mu Sheng hummed and said, "Let her come in!"
Yang Jin was about to leave when Mu Sheng asked again: "By the way, Yang Jin, I may be busy these days. You are responsible for accompanying my junior sister and junior brother to have a good tour of Yucheng."
"No!" Yang Jin bowed and accepted the order and left.
At this time, Ahrami came to Mu Sheng's side. Mu Sheng turned his head and said with a pleasant expression: "Ajiu, why are you looking for me?"
Ahrami took out a box from his arms and handed it to Mu Sheng: "Your Majesty, this is a spiritual crystal experimentally synthesized by my people in the small spiritual furnace built in Qingyang. Your Majesty, please preview it."
Mu Sheng felt a little excited when he heard this. He opened the box and saw a translucent light blue spiritual crystal about the size of a thumb lying quietly inside the box.
Mu Sheng took out the spiritual crystal and felt it. He didn't expect that this small piece of spiritual crystal actually contained such huge spiritual power fluctuations. He was a little surprised and said: "Ajiu, is this the spiritual crystal? The spiritual power contained in it is really amazing. ”
Ahrami also looked a little excited and said: "Well, Your Majesty, I have tried a few samples. This spiritual crystal monk can directly absorb the spiritual power in it, and can also customize the corresponding spiritual energy according to his own five-element attributes. Jing, from now on, monks who cast spells no longer have to worry about the possibility of running out of spiritual power during combat."
Mu Sheng understood that the small spiritual crystal in his hand was a product of an era, and once it was released, it would definitely shock the entire monk world.
Mu Sheng asked: "Ajiu, how much output does the small spiritual furnace that is built now have?"
Ahrami said: "The current output and yield of the small spiritual furnace are very low. It takes three days to synthesize a spiritual crystal. Only after the spiritual furnace in Taiji Palace is completed can the production of spiritual crystals increase. By then, not only It is only enough for monks, and we can also develop combat puppets powered by spiritual crystals."
Mu Sheng nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, this is great. I didn't expect the results to come out so quickly..."
At this time, Ahrami stared at Mu Sheng with burning eyes, as if he wanted to confirm something.
Mu Sheng felt her gaze and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong? Are you looking at me like this?"
Ahrami hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, are you Borges or Gongzi Sheng? I remember a few years ago when the late emperor was preparing for the southern expedition, I paid a private visit to Emperor Changsheng. I always felt that there was a familiar feeling at that time, but I’m not sure. When I saw that Your Majesty came to the Yucheng Palace today and was so familiar with it, I had some doubts about whether it was you who took Young Master Sheng’s body back then? Or..."
Now that Ahrami has become Mu Sheng's sword slave, he can speak straightforwardly and there is nothing to avoid.
Mu Sheng was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly wanted to tease Ahrami. His voice and expression instantly changed into that of the old Immortal Emperor, and he said in a deep voice: "Grand Chief, then who do you think I am?"
Ahrami's face changed slightly when she saw this, which reminded her of the first time she met Borges at the castle decades ago. It was exactly the same as Mu Sheng's current expression and voice.
Ahrami subconsciously took a few steps back and said in a trembling voice: "Great Emperor? Did you really take away Young Master Sheng's body?"
Mu Shengxie smiled and said: "I am very satisfied with this physical body, the Xuanling Dao body, and now I have become the emperor of the Central Plains. It is enough for me to dominate the world for hundreds of years, hahaha..."
Seeing the evil smile on Mu Sheng's face and his nightmare-like expression, Ahrami's face became solemn. Now she felt a little regretful about becoming the Emperor's sword slave. It was all because of her damn curiosity. She didn't expect that after going around in a big circle, she was still there. Didn't escape the old thief's Wuzhishan.
Ahrami thought for a while and sighed. At this time, she was a little resigned to her fate. Thinking of the old thief's methods of dealing with the female monks in the past, her heart trembled. She might not be able to escape sooner or later. Now this old thief was I'm not in a hurry to start, maybe it's just that I have huge utilization value, and now it's too late to say anything.
Ahrami looked a little depressed and said: "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else to say, Ajiu will leave."
Mu Sheng said: "Well, Ajiu, as long as you work hard for me from now on, I will definitely not treat you badly. Go down!"
Seeing Ahrami's worried look, Mu Sheng was secretly amused. Apparently she was also frightened and couldn't tell who he was. Let's scare her for a few days first.
Ahrami was about to retreat when he turned around, walked a few steps, and then turned around and came to Mu Sheng's side. He asked softly: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the agreement you made in Yucheng to help me restore the Laima Kingdom?"
Mu Sheng now has no Tianque, and no more Borges' memory crystal. Naturally, he doesn't know the original agreement between the two parties. He just followed Ahrami's words and said: "Well, of course I remember, what's the matter?"
When Ahrami heard this, his heart tightened and he said: "Your Majesty, although we have returned to the country and the agreement has been canceled long ago, as long as I serve you wholeheartedly from now on, you will never do such a thing to me, right?"
Mu Sheng continued to follow the words and said in an ambiguous tone: "Then it depends on your future performance."
Ahrami's heart trembled when he heard this. From this point of view, it turned out that the emperor in the palace was deliberately luring her to the bait. The secret of Que Gubao that day was actually the bait.
Ahrami said: "Yes, Your Majesty, I understand."
When Mu Sheng saw Ahrami going out, he was confused and said to himself: "What kind of thing is it? It makes the great patriarch so afraid..."
