Shang Ziyin led Han Ying and Wu Yu to the south.
The situation in the Southland can be called one mountain with one king, and those large-scale forces will occupy three or five mountain tops and small ridges to demarcate and govern.
Unlike Li Binyang and Li Binyang, Shang Ziyin and the others went straight to the border. They planned to advance slowly.
The first stop was to the family of an elder. ——When the Shang family's prestige was not yet declining and their power was stable, they already stationed troops in the south and sent regent monks to share political, military, financial and other rights with local power lords and living Buddhas.
Now that the Shang family has retreated to Hangu Pass, their control over the northern and southern territories has naturally improved.
Not only are there monks appointed as officials, there are even leaders of some forces who are appointed elders.
Most elders can even achieve Shiqing Shilu, as is the case with the Cangmu Jue in front of them.
In the early stage of Condensation Cauldron cultivation, Cangmu was a tall and burly man. His body was as round and strong as a bucket, but he was not very flexible. His red face trembled with his steps, and his hearty laughter was hidden in it. With another temperament.
Shang Ziyin looked at Cang Mujue who greeted him from top to bottom, like a dragon looking at the clouds or a unicorn looking at the sun. Although he was at the bottom, he was full of arrogance.
Cang Mujue's eyes were like longan, and he turned around, with a smile on his face. "Hahaha! Your Highness! Cangmu Jue has finally waited for you."
Shang Ziyin put aside his noble arrogance and smiled casually, "Elder Cang Mujue, it's not easy for us to do this again."
Cang Mujue scolded the servants behind him and personally led the way for the three of them, agreeing, "The Immortal is high above us. We long for your arrival as much as we long for nectar!"
Shang Ziyin burst out laughing, "You often say that eating delicious food is like hearing compliments. In my opinion, Elder Cang Mujue is a mouthful of honey!"
Cang Mujue agreed boldly, "Hahahaha, the prince is right. When I heard that you were coming, I specially ordered my servants to prepare butter cakes and raw beef sauce! And butter tea! You know, the essence of meat is soup, and the essence of milk is , it’s ghee!”
Shang Ziyin showed enough interest, "Oh! Then I want to try it!"
The two walked towards the room amidst laughter.
Many things in the wilderness are settled over wine and meat. ——People are accustomed to making important decisions in an inadvertent atmosphere.
Han Ying took a small bite of the butter cake and felt the fragrance of the butter.
Shang Ziyin asked Han Ying unintentionally, "What's going on over there at Wei Binye?"
Han Ying knew that Shang Ziyin only wanted good news, so she replied, "Through negotiations with loose cultivators, Wei Binye has recruited a large number of cultivators. All parties have also reached an agreement."
Shang Ziyin raised his cup and sipped the butter tea, and sighed calmly, "This Wei Binye can't do anything well, so why go to those casual cultivators? - And let him do it. Ha. I don't blame him this time. ”
Cang Mujue chewed the beef, and the juice flowed over his lips. "Smart people always have ways to achieve their goals. - His Royal Highness has good servants."
Shang Ziyin frowned slightly and smiled casually, "That guy Wei Binye is different from you. He is our partner. He is not a servant."
Cang Mujue nodded, "Oh, it's a pity. No matter how powerful the lion is, it can't be driven by hunting dogs, so it saves worry."
Shang Ziyin smiled faintly and agreed, "Yes. In this world, servants will always use various methods to satisfy you. Just like hunting dogs, they have already surrendered to themselves. It's a pity. My master once said that servants are the most powerful." The most dangerous thing is that the emperor is the most ignorant."
Kuraki expressed his curiosity appropriately, "Oh? Takami?"
Shang Ziyin's eyes were distant. "People who can give up everything already indicate the problem. People who can only see others humble and surrender are already a problem."
Cang Mujue took a big gulp of the butter tea and said, "His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, is truly a brilliant and extraordinary person!"
Shang Ziyin chuckled and said nothing.
Cang Mujue turned to ask, "Cangmu Jue has known about His Highness's visit for a long time. I have also wanted to serve His Highness for a long time...but I am just an ordinary elder."
Shang Ziyin saw that the lion was forced to expose its belly and knew that he had won, so he responded, "I will support you. You can recruit other elders. First update @ "
Kuraki put his hand on the silver-gold teapot and smiled brightly, "Hey, it's cold. Shall I get another pot for His Highness?"
Shang Ziyin nodded.
Cang Mujue stood up.
After leaving, Shang Ziyin focused his eyes on Han Ying's face.
Han Ying's face turned red, "Your Highness..."
"Tell me your opinion." Shang Ziyin ordered in a tone that could not be refused.
"I..." Han Ying hesitated.
Shang Ziyin was relieved, "It seems you still have questions, tell me."
After Han Ying breathed a long sigh of relief, she asked, "I want to know, does it have to be him?"
"It's not necessary. Anyone can do it. Or any elder can do it." Shang Ziyin stroked the warm teacup with his hand.
"This is how they live, pushing out benefits, accepting them, and doing things for you. Update without error@If anything can make them retreat, there is only one reason, the benefits are not enough." Shang Ziyin stood up, "Knowing this is enough. .”
Han Ying's side face disappeared into the shadows, as if she was thinking.
Shang Ziyin seemed to have discovered Wu Yu suddenly, and said to Wu Yu with a comforting tone, "Cangmu Jue will contact the other elders to recruit monks for us. But sweet dates must be given, and slaps must be given. Historically, various sects and sects have There is no shortage of things that the hidden monks can keep for their own use..."
"In the past, it would have been okay." Shang Ziyin looked at Wu Yu calmly.
Wu Yu immediately straightened his body, "The Wu family has never done such a thing, there is absolutely no such situation!"
Shang Ziyin looked satisfied, "I can see that you didn't lie. - So I hope you can follow Han Shinu and supervise these elders."
Wu Yu was a little frightened. When he opened his mouth to express his loyalty, he suddenly found that Shang Ziyin had closed his eyes and rested, his mouth open in half shame and half anger.
In fact, the Wu family is no longer worthy of sitting in the position of Duke of the Six Kingdoms. Keeping the Wu family is beneficial both internally and externally. The most important thing is that the Wu family is fickle. ——Those who are fickle follow strength. As long as the Shang family's strength remains as strong as before, even if there is a chance of rebellion, the Wu family will not dare to reach out to seize it.
Shang Ziyin was arrogant and arrogant, and he preferred to humiliate those who were fickle.
Han Ying looked at Shang Ziyin, trying to calm down the turbulent thoughts in her heart, and deliberately suppressed her lust for the man in front of her.
She is a daughter of the Han family, and she should be caring about the Han family, but she is trapped by love.
For Han Ying, love means "knowing that you can't see your hometown, but you have to look back step by step."
The feelings in the heart are not invisible, but invisible.
It’s not just that you can’t see it, it’s actually that you have a desire...
Only when facing Shang Ziyin would Han Ying care more about emotional gains and losses rather than interests.
"In his eyes, how do I live? Is it also weighed by interests?" Thinking of this, Han Ying's mind became confused and complicated. .
