Chapter 349 The Mountain Man Has His Own Ingenious Plan (Asking for Monthly Votes)

Ps: Thank you for your monthly votes.

It's the beginning of the month, please vote for your monthly votes.

In 2024, I wish all readers all the best.

"I remember Dai Mubai. Didn't he become a eunuch?" Demon Bear Douluo said suspiciously.

When will the eunuch inherit the throne?

Without waiting for Han Yu to explain, Bibi Dong smiled and said, "Elder Demon Bear, since the Eighth Priest said so, he must have made plans. We shouldn't ask too much about the details."

That's right, my Canaan City has left real estate for the Davis couple. Han Yu smiled in his heart.

Tang San and others went to the Xingluo Empire, and soon they would understand that supporting Dai Mubai was their wisest choice.

This was Han Yu's conspiracy. Once they chose Dai Mubai, they would fall into his trap. The only way to crack it is that Tang San and Yu Xiaogang are willing to be forgotten by the crowd and live in the sewer from now on.

However, some things are not what they don't want to do. If they don't do it, Ning Fengzhi will definitely drag them down.

It goes without saying which is easier, helping Kundela launch a coup and seize the throne of the Tiandou Empire, or letting Dai Mubai, the original heir to the throne, ascend the throne.

Han Yu nodded slightly, agreeing with Bibi Dong's words.

Next, he winked, and Bibi Dong understood and immediately ended the meeting, leaving only Jue Gui and the others.

After the other elders left, Han Yu said, "Your Holiness, the soul beast you need has been determined, and it is in the Lake of Life in the center of the Xingdou Great Forest."

At this time, the beasts in the Xingdou Great Forest should still be in a dormant state, or they are absorbing the cultivation of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. Bibi Dong went to hunt Daming and Erming, and it is highly likely that they would not be disturbed.

This can also be regarded as paying back the favor of the Spirit Hall for informing him of the news of the 100,000-year soul beast. By the way, he also did a favor.

Speaking of which, Han Yu recalled himself back then, and at that time he was a little desperate to seek medical treatment. Hall Master Orto probably didn't take it seriously and just agreed casually. Unexpectedly, a 100,000-year soul beast really appeared in the Xingdou Great Forest, and it became known to everyone.

Han Yu knew that Bibi Dong did not go to the Xingdou Great Forest at that time. For her who needed a soul ring, the soul ring of the 100,000-year Fire Cloud Crane was not consistent with her martial soul attributes, but it was a genuine 100,000-year soul beast after all.

At that time, she might have been delayed by something. Or because of Qian Daoliu's obstruction, she was eventually intercepted by herself.

Now Han Yu still has two soul bones vacant, but in Han Yu's opinion, the soul bones of Da Ming and Er Ming are not suitable as his torso bones and head soul bones.

Moreover, Han Yu has already made plans for the soul beast that lacks these two soul bones.

"Okay, since the trace of the beast has been confirmed, Gui Mei and Yue Guan, you take the people to go first, and I will be there later." Bibi Dong arranged.

There are many things to deal with in the Spirit Hall. Bibi Dong can't just leave. She must arrange things for her after leaving.

Bibi Dong will definitely bring Hu Liena and the other two with her on this soul hunting trip. Without Tang Yin from the Slaughter City, there is a high probability that there will be no accidents in this operation.

Since Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong reconciled, Hu Liena's situation in the Spirit Hall has become quite delicate. Especially after Qian Renxue returned to the Spirit Hall, her position is even more precarious. Bibi Dong took her out, naturally intending to let her make merit to gain a firm foothold.

A leftover woman (saint), who occupies a lot of resources in the Spirit Hall and has not made any merit, will indeed be targeted by people with ulterior motives.

After Ju Gui and the other two left, Han Yu added: "I have explored the interior of the Star Dou Great Forest. There should be several hundred thousand year soul beasts, and there are also others that are beyond a hundred thousand years. Your Holiness, you should be careful."

After that, Han Yu hung up the communication.

Han Yu had already compiled the news about the soul beasts beyond the 100,000-year level and distributed it to the high-level officials of the Spirit Hall. Bibi Dong was not too surprised about this.

The Xingdou Great Forest is the largest soul beast forest in Douluo Continent, and it has existed almost since the beginning of historical records in Douluo Continent.

Bibi Dong looked at the empty Pope's Palace with a smile on her lips.

She slowly took off the Nine-Curved Purple Gold Crown on her head, and the black sickle mark on her forehead was revealed.

This is not the mark of the Rakshasa God, but from another god.

Bibi Dong is the only twin spirit master in Douluo Continent, and the second spirit has almost been cultivated to perfection. Such a talent is enough to be favored by other gods.

…

On the third day after the meeting, the Spirit Hall issued a joint statement with the Heaven Dou Empire through the Spirit Daily.

The statement clearly mentioned that the land that the Heaven Dou Empire will recover will be handed over to the Spirit Hall for development.

Once the announcement that the Spirit Hall would build refugee shelters on these lands was made, it quickly gained the support of countless civilians.

In the court of the Tiandou Empire, after learning about the Spirit Hall's arrangements, Xue Qinghe quickly handled the matter.

"Your Majesty is kind-hearted and can't bear to see the people displaced. This is indeed a righteous act, and we admire it very much."

This move not only solved the current dilemma of the Tiandou Empire, but also turned the tables on the Xingluo Empire. The ministers of the Tiandou Empire finally felt proud.

As for what the Spirit Hall did on these lands, it was not important. What was important was that the lands still belonged to the Tiandou Empire; dragging the Spirit Hall into the water was completely a case of pulling a rabbit out of a hat.

The Xingluo Empire was unlikely to risk offending the Spirit Hall and the people of the world by sending troops to Tiandou.

This decision was naturally not Xue Qinghe's idea. He was just pretending. He summoned the Platinum Bishop Magor of the Spirit Hall to the palace two days ago. In name, it was to discuss state affairs, but in reality, Magor conveyed the meaning of the Pope's Palace to him and told Xue Qinghe how to implement it.

After all, what do you expect a substitute with a not-so-smart brain to accomplish?

"I just used a little trick." Xue Qinghe smiled confidently.

The ministers were confused. Now thinking back, Xue Qinghe had no intention of stationing troops on the border from the beginning, which seemed to be extremely correct.

The army must have a huge amount of food and grass to move forward, and the finances of the Tiandou Empire are not rich. Gathering the army at the border and then retreating is undoubtedly a waste of money and labor.

"Your Majesty's foresight is very much admired by this humble minister."

Compared to the relaxed and happy atmosphere in the court of the Tiandou Empire, the court of the Xingluo Empire is much more depressing.

The Xingluo Empire has stationed 500,000 troops at the border. It only takes five days for the last 100,000 troops to arrive at the border, and they can officially declare war. Unexpectedly, the Spirit Hall would make such a move at this critical juncture.

"Father, we have roughly estimated Xue Qinghe's ability, and we do not rule out the possibility that there are experts behind him. But if he came up with it himself, it proves that this person is very cunning and may have the appearance of an emperor." Davis quickly transferred the contradiction away.

Dai Tianfeng's rash stationing of troops was a foolish act. If he fights with the Spirit Hall again, he will inevitably be labeled as a foolish monarch.

Davis's blame on Xue Qinghe at this moment is undoubtedly a way for Dai Tianfeng to save face.

The head of the Zhu family quickly agreed: "Your Majesty, Xue Qinghe was able to successfully seize the throne through a palace coup, which proves that this person is not simple. We have underestimated his ability, please forgive me."

Dai Tianfeng was an iron-blooded emperor after all. Some of his ministers, even if they were dissatisfied with him, did not dare to express it. Following the words of the head of the Zhu family, all the ministers pleaded guilty.

Dai Tianfeng frowned.

The sudden end of the Spirit Hall caught him off guard. The army stockpiled in the border town now looked like a group of clowns in a circus.

"Tell me, everyone, what should we do next? I don't think this is Xue Qinghe's idea. When the Tiandou Palace coup, our scouts brought back intelligence that Xue Qinghe might have secretly surrendered to the Spirit Hall. Then, it is not surprising that the Spirit Hall personally went to the battlefield for him."

The Spirit Hall would definitely not come out in vain. Dai Tianfeng believed that Xue Qinghe must have betrayed the interests of the Tiandou Empire. After all, it's not painful for Sun to sell his grandfather's land.

As the prince of Xingluo and the future heir to the throne, Davis must stand up at this moment and come up with a suitable proposal to consolidate his position.

Before going to court, he had discussed it with Zhu Zhuyun and received guidance from the head of the Zhu family.

At this moment, he said confidently: "Father, isn't the Spirit Hall under the name of taking in refugees? We in the Xingluo Empire don't support idle people. Since the Spirit Hall is willing to accept refugees from our Xingluo Empire, let's give them to them."

"Father, I have calculated that the Empire will spend tens of millions of gold soul coins every year to provide these refugees with shelter and food. Since the Spirit Hall is generous, let's send these people away. The tens of millions of gold soul coins saved every year are enough to replace tens of thousands of troops with sophisticated equipment."

In the eyes of the nobles, refugees are the vampires and cancer of the empire. If they were not worried about harming the harmony of heaven, with the iron-blooded rule of the Xingluo Empire, they might have executed these people or even sent them into exile as advance cannon fodder for the army.

As soon as Davis finished speaking, he immediately got the approval of the ministers.

"Your Majesty, how could the Spirit Hall be so kind? It is true that they are doing this in the name of charity, but I do not think that they will pay for the reconstruction of the city and the sheltering of refugees. Since the Heaven Dou Empire needs them, the money will most likely be paid by the Heaven Dou Empire."

"If we send more people over, it will definitely consume the finances of the Heaven Dou Empire. As one side gains, the other loses. Within ten years, the Heaven Dou Empire will no longer be able to compete with us. By then, the unification of the continent is just around the corner, and your majesty's great achievements will be praised by the world for thousands of years."

In fact, the Spirit Hall did not ask the Heaven Dou Empire for money this time. In the past, the Spirit Hall did ask the two empires for money for the monthly subsidies for soul masters. But with the completion of the reform of the Spirit Hall, the Spirit Hall made a lot of money. In order to avoid internal corruption, it simply provided the full amount of subsidies for soul masters.

In addition, the Spirit Ticket has been issued for several years, and the accumulated wealth has already reached an exaggerated number.

After all, not everyone wins the prize in every issue, and even if they do, the prize money is fixed. The sales volume for each issue is more than tens of thousands of gold soul coins.

In the past, the Spirit Hall did not have the opportunity to build livelihood projects in the two empires. At most, they would build a bridge or a road, which would not cost much.

The process of building a city is not something that can be completed overnight, but a long-term and gradual process. Although the Spirit Hall cannot come up with so much money at once, the money of the Spirit Hall can be supplemented as time goes by.

Dai Tianfeng agreed to Davis' proposal after a brief thought.

But he never thought that these refugees he expelled would become a sharp blade to the Star Luo Empire in the future.

…

Leaving the Tiandou Empire, Tang San and his party gradually became bolder.

Knowing that the Star Luo Empire did not want them, they no longer avoided it, and the carriage drove on the official road.

"Teacher, what's going on? We saw a lot of "prisoners" being escorted along the way. Is there unrest in the Star Luo Empire?" Tang San asked puzzledly.

On the official road, from time to time, you can see soldiers escorting ragged prisoners tied with ropes.

The Spirit Hall publicized the withdrawal of the Xingluo Empire. Tang San and others also learned about the ceasefire by purchasing the Spirit Daily along the way.

Ning Fengzhi finally put down some of his worries. At least, as long as the war didn't start, he still had room to turn things around.

Yu Xiaogang couldn't answer Tang San's question. Tang San simply got off the carriage and asked Ning Fengzhi the same question.

Ning Fengzhi lifted the curtain, shook his head and said, "Xiao San, I don't know about this either. But if there was unrest in the Xingluo Empire, the Spirit Hall would definitely publicize it. The Spirit Daily we bought along the way didn't report it. I think it shouldn't be what you guessed. As for the identities of those people, why should we care."

Gu Rong had already sensed that these "prisoners" were skinny, ragged, and their palms were full of calluses. Ning Fengzhi didn't care about the life and death of such low-level trash.

Tang San put away his curiosity and asked, "Uncle Ning, do you have a map of the entire continent?"

He had never forgotten about the search for the land of the gods.

After all, as the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, Ning Fengzhi had a superior status during his peak period, so it was not difficult for him to get a map of the continent.

And, through Yu Tianheng's words, he learned that the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family had a map of the entire continent. However, only the leader and the elders were qualified to view it.

The original status of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect was far superior to that of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, and Ning Fengzhi must have the same map in his hand.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Sect was destroyed, and Ning Fengzhi had long lost his original arrogance. At this moment, Ning Fengzhi might not disagree. Of course, this was also the intention of a certain master.

"Xiao San, what do you want the map for?" Ning Fengzhi was puzzled.

It was because of the existence of this map that they did not get lost along the way. Moreover, the value of the map is not ordinary.

Seeing that the other party did not refuse immediately, Tang San felt that there was a chance, "Uncle Ning, we are still half a month away from our destination. I want to study the terrain of the continent with my teacher on the way. We want to fight back to the Tiandou Empire and then take revenge on the Spirit Hall, so we must choose a good place for the decisive battle."

There are many battles in history where the minority defeated the majority with the advantage of terrain.

But it is too early to consider this issue now.
