Not enough resources! Lu Changjing had realized before that after breaking through to the fourth-level master level, many resources would be insufficient, especially those needed for body and god training. The reason why Lu Changjing's body-refining cultivation has been able to advance rapidly these days is mainly due to the silver dragon blood. Now there are only about ten drops of dozens of silver dragon blood left, which at most can help him raise his body-refining cultivation to the fifth level. Grandmaster level. As for the main treasure that improves the cultivation of God, it can also be said to be the only treasure, the Calming Pill, which was used cleanly and left nothing behind. There are only half of the spiritual stones, elixirs, and various spiritual wines that can improve his Qi refining skills, and they should be able to help him advance to the sixth-level master level. Looking at the Blue Sky Divine Ring that was mostly empty, Lu Changjing felt helpless. Next, whether it was to settle down, strengthen his physique, or because of resources, he had to slow down. But before his physique reaches a high enough level, Lu Changjing also needs to find a way to obtain some resources and treasures. Otherwise, even if his physique improves, he will not be able to continue to advance rapidly. For this reason, it may be time to take some risks. Lu Changjing was thinking about ways to earn resources and treasures, but inexplicably, Tan Qingyun, the daughter of the richest man in Longjiang, Lin Yixin, the daughter of the King of Heluo, and Rong Xiyao, the only daughter of the Southwest King, flashed into his mind. , the prime minister's daughter Tang Qingyi... figure. "No, no, I've eaten enough soft rice, I can't eat any more!"
Lu Changjing quickly shook his head and swept these figures aside. During this period, he had obtained too many resources and treasures from the concubines, which accounted for almost half of their net worth. Especially Rong Xiyao, who even gave him the only Blue Sky Divine Ring. How could Lu Changjing try to take advantage of Rong Xiyao again. Forget it, let's think about it carefully. Anyway, it will take a long time to strengthen your physique. Just find a suitable method before then. Since he no longer dares to make rapid progress, he should spend more time and energy on combat skills and secret techniques. Now the level of his various combat skills and secret techniques is still too low. The time every day will definitely not be wasted, but it cannot be used to improve cultivation. While he was busy, Lu Changjing hardly paid attention to what was happening outside. He just hid in the imperial study room and focused on his cultivation and love. But the outside world is not peaceful. The negotiations between the Ministry of Rites and the Shanman envoy are still continuing. At present, the Shanman envoy's request has been lowered from an imperial concubine to a noble concubine. Later, the ministers of the Ministry of Rites were specially summoned by Prime Minister Tang Chongzhi. Although they said nothing, the ministers of the Ministry of Rites immediately understood what Prime Minister Tang meant. So in less than three days, the Mountain Barbarian envoys were asked to lower their requirements for the harem position again, as long as the Seven Saints of the Mountain Barbarians became one of the ten principal concubines. But as a condition for giving in, the Daning Dynasty must immediately send troops to attack the Blood Barbarians together with the Mountain Barbarians, and plunder the blood beasts that appear in the Blood Barbarians' ancestral land. In addition, the Mountain Barbarians also reduced their share, from the original ninety-one to seventy-three. In other words, the barbarians from the Blood Beast Mountain who hunted took away 70%, and the Daning Dynasty took away 30%. As for the issue of military expenditure, it must be the fault of the Daning Dynasty itself. However, the empty secret treasury and treasury obviously did not allow the Daning Dynasty to prepare their own dry food and send troops to the blood barbarians, so they could only continue to negotiate. However, what people didn't expect was that before the negotiations came to a conclusion, they received news that another group of blood beasts had escaped from the Zama Blood Forest, and not only fled into the Fulong Mountains, but also into the southwest of the Daning Dynasty. area. In order to capture these precious blood beasts, the Blood Barbarians once again sent a large number of troops into the Fulong Mountains and the southwest region of the Daning Dynasty to hunt these blood beasts. The unprepared mountain barbarians once again suffered heavy losses. In addition to the captured blood beasts, the blood barbarians also took away many resources and treasures. As for the southwest region of the Daning Dynasty, it was similar. However, when he was about to leave the Daning Dynasty, the Southwest King took action in time, gave the blood barbarians a lesson and brought back many blood beasts. He is worthy of being a strong man who has been in the southwestern land of Daning Dynasty for hundreds of years. The Blood Barbarians who left the Mountain Barbarians helpless also suffered a loss at his hands.
If it weren't for the useless emperor Ning Zhongyu, and the late emperor was not a tough person, the Daning Dynasty would not have been bullied by the mountain barbarians for so long. After receiving the news, the mountain barbarian envoys were dumbfounded. They did not expect the blood barbarians to be so rampant. They had just plundered them before, and just a few months later, they actually broke in again. They were so deceptive that they really regarded the Fulong Mountains as their own territory. Especially when compared with the Southwest King's attack on the blood barbarians, the mountain barbarian envoys who were originally quite arrogant immediately became more honest. The Daning Dynasty only dispatched a Southwest King, but the extremely domineering Blood Barbarians suffered a huge loss. Not like the Mountain Barbarians, who had been beaten twice by the Blood Barbarians until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen. Not to mention eating the blood beasts that came from the Zama Blood Forest, even their own territory was overturned. Perhaps the Daning Dynasty does not need to take action. The Southwest King alone is enough to cooperate with them and teach the blood barbarians a lesson. As a result, the bottom line of the Shanman envoys plummeted, and they changed from asking the Daning Emperor to lead the expedition in person to asking the Southwest King to take action. However, this bottom line has not yet been revealed, and the two parties are still negotiating based on the previous conditions. The Shanman envoy was honest, but Cao Wenzheng was not honest anymore. "What is the King of the Southwest doing? He can just let the Blood Barbarians take the blood beasts, why does he have to stop them by force and provoke the Blood Barbarians?" "One mountain barbarian tribe is already a headache. If we provoke the more difficult Blood Barbarians, how can we live in peace in the future?" "No, we must denounce the King of the Southwest's behavior to prevent him from making more excessive moves. At the same time, we must make it clear to the Blood Barbarians that our Daning Dynasty has no intention of going to war with them." ... Looking at Cao Wen Zheng who was furious in the imperial study, Lu Changjing inexplicably thought of the Qing Dynasty in the history of his previous life, as well as Qin Hui and others in the Song Dynasty. Presumably, they were like Cao Wen Zheng at this moment, vigorously suppressing those national heroes who resisted foreign humiliation, and they were always servile, with only their own interests in mind, and no regard for the interests of the country and the nation. Ning Zhongyu, the emperor, has reached this level, and he can no longer be described as a waste. It is not an exaggeration to call him a traitor. Although he had never seen this guy, it was clear from Cao Wenzheng's performance that with such a confidant, how could Ning Zhongyu be any better? Soon Cao Wenzheng issued an imperial edict in the name of Emperor Daning to reprimand the King of Southwest, and soon after, Imperial Concubine Rong Xiyao came to the Imperial Study Room of the Qianqing Palace.
