Chapter 150 Qian Renxue's Winning
"Welcome King Qi. We have been looking forward to seeing you here for a long time. The whole Tiandou City is shining because of you. The wine we promised you is ready, just waiting for you." Xue Ye hurriedly took a few steps forward, smiling, and held Zhuang Jingxing's hands tightly as he got off the carriage.
Zhuang Jingxing also pretended to be very happy, "Emperor Xue Ye, you are so polite. I have been looking forward to this day for a long time! Congratulations on the 3,500th anniversary of the founding of the Tiandou Empire. Under your leadership, Emperor Xue Ye, the Tiandou Empire is undergoing earth-shaking changes and ushering in an immortal era of prosperity. On behalf of the Jidao Yin Yang Leopard Clan, I would like to send my most sincere blessings and wish the Tiandou Empire to get better and better. I hope that with our joint efforts, all evil forces can be driven out, allowing the Douluo Continent to usher in true peace and the human race to usher in a true era of prosperity!"
"Hahaha, King Qi is right. Let us join hands and create a better tomorrow! Let us work together for the prosperity of the human race."
Afterwards, the top leaders of both sides expressed concern and extended a warm welcome, saying some meaningless words. The surrounding professional welcoming team, which was actually a guard of honor, also started beating drums and gongs. In a word, they wanted to show the outside world that the relationship between the Jidao Yin-Yang Leopard Clan and the Tiandou Royal Family was very good and close.
Following the basic etiquette of Douluo Continent, Zhuang Xingyu smiled and mechanically shook hands with Xue Ye and the high-level Tiandou officials who came to greet him. A professional team nearby took a photo of both parties with a video soul guide.
Various pre-written copywriting, accompanied by photos, were quickly printed into newspapers and flyers and distributed throughout the mainland, both official and private.
There were endless reports like "Shocked, Emperor Xue Ye came out of the city to welcome them personally, it turned out to be them!", "The 3500th anniversary celebration of the Tiandou Empire seems to have undergone major changes", "Who on earth can make the entire Tiandou City shine?", "The heads of the two major forces met, and it seems that a war is about to begin!", "On the relationship between the major forces", "An inventory of the great help of the extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan to the Tiandou Empire"... Journalism has made them understand the game.
Anyway, the two empires, especially the various forces and civilians within the Tiandou Empire, all praised, promoted, and flattered the Jidao Yinyang Leopard Clan. For example: The Jidao Yinyang Leopard Clan is the strongest force in the world, and there are great good people everywhere, who are here to save the suffering civilians. The Tiandou Empire has a close relationship with them, and there are many benefits to cooperation between the two sides. And give examples to analyze the development process and actions of the Jidao Yinyang Leopard Clan...
The storytellers were all telling stories about the extremely powerful Yin-Yang Leopard Clan, which drew a round of applause.
In fact, the Jidao Yin-Yang Leopard Clan has never sent anyone specifically to do publicity work, nor has it ever looked for any spokespersons within the internal factions of the Tiandou Empire. It has always been doing practical things in a down-to-earth manner, keeping a low profile, and developing quietly.
There is an old saying: If I have a strong enough fist, there will be great scholars to debate for me. This is roughly what it means.
Of course, the person who originally said this (in fact, it was not him who said it, but his subordinates who embellished it. He was just a barbarian and did not have the literary talent at all), and they were not strong enough, they just boasted, and they took advantage of the chaos of the Donglin Party and the rebellion of the border troops to collude with them, and only then were they pushed to the surface. But the truth is this.
Originally, everything was normal in the communication between Zhuang Xingyu and the others, just following the normal template. But when he fought against Crown Prince Xue Qinghe that day, the style changed.
Xue Qinghe held Zhuang Xingyu tightly, unwilling to let go, "Brother Yu, you are finally here. I have not seen you for a long time and I missed you so much. I was so happy that I couldn't sleep last night. Although we have only met twice including this time, I feel like we are as close as old friends. You are my confidant!"
Qian Renxue had been taking the opportunity to secretly observe Zhuang Xingyu, her heart was filled with shock and great pressure. Just now, she roughly felt the other party's physical strength, but she couldn't find the end. There was no doubt that he was much stronger than her; she had reached the level of Soul Saint, but she still couldn't see through Zhuang Xingyu's soul power level; and the quality of his soul power was obviously not as good as Zhuang Xingyu's.
Zhuang Xingyu's soul power level has always been a mystery to the outside world. Everyone is guessing what level Zhuang Xingyu's soul power is at the age of 13. Some say he is a soul king, some say he is a soul emperor...
"Ahaha, I'm also very happy to see Brother Qinghe!" Zhuang Xingyu pushed Qian Renxue away without leaving a trace, without any ripples in his heart.
Another round of nonsense...
After the meeting, the convoy entered Tiandou City. When the people nearby saw that it was the Jidao Yin Yang Leopard Tribe, they also cheered. Then the Jidao Yin Yang Leopard Tribe was led to the [Prince Qi's Mansion] in Tiandou City to rest.
After Zhuang Jingxing accepted the title of King of Qi from Xue Ye, the Tiandou Empire built the King of Qi Palace.
The Prince Qi's Mansion is just across a street from the Tiandou Palace, and is located in the core area of Tiandou City. Except for its specifications being only slightly inferior to those of the Tiandou Palace, everything else is built to match the palace, and its level of luxury is even slightly higher than that of the Tiandou Palace.
In order to build the Prince of Qi's Palace, Emperor Xue Ye relocated many of the top aristocratic families and demolished many mansions. Even the mansions of Prince Xue Xing and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe were partially demolished.
The specifications and layout are quite sufficient, and the face-saving work is done very well.
Even though Zhuang Jingxing had never been here before, he only sent a few clansmen to guard the gate.
Along the way, Zhuang Xingyu had been observing the living conditions of the lower-class people in Tiandou City. Compared with the people from the provinces along the way, the local lower-class residents here had a higher quality of life. Having enough food was not a problem, they could basically read and write, and most of them had already left their jobs.
The people here are more informed. Everyone has relatives who are slaves in aristocratic families or officials, or they themselves are slaves.
In their spare time, they often discuss the situation of the entire continent and are more concerned about major events in the empire and some news from various aristocratic families. They often express what they think are good strategies for governing the country and are full of dissatisfaction with the current situation. However, there are almost no people who say that they want to leave Tiandou City and develop in Xingluo City, Wuhun City, or Jidao Yinyang City.
Instead of being like the ordinary residents in the commercial cities in the southern part of the Tiandou Empire, they pay attention to gossips like a new beautiful host in the fighting arena or a new top performer in the Yihong Courtyard.
This is a good thing, this is a good thing!
They are all poor people. They know that they can do nothing, but they often care about these things and do not intend to give them away. Why is this? It is because they love this land deeply and they hope that the Tiandou Empire will become better and more prosperous.
These poor people are not like the aristocratic families. No matter who rules, it is difficult to shake their interests. Even if the nobles flee and move to another place, they are still superior nobles. These poor people have nowhere else to go, and no one wants to see the strength of the Tiandou Empire more than them.
Similarly, more than 95% of Xue Ye's direct army members were selected from the poor in Tiandou City and the two surrounding provinces. Xue Ye trusted these people. If he selected them from the southern parts of the Tiandou Empire, Xue Ye would lose his military power in a few years.
Of course, this is only the difference between the lower classes in the north and south of the Tiandou Empire. The upper classes all look the same and there is no difference. The buildings in Tiandou City are also very heavy and majestic. Many of them follow the architectural style of 3000 years ago and are full of historical charm.
Tiandou City also has a good geographical location, with convenient transportation links, and is basically located in the center of Douluo Continent.
Zhuang Xingyu was very satisfied. In the future, when he entered the Tiandou Empire after Fengtian Jingnan, he could continue to use this place as the capital, and Jidao Yinyang Baocheng would be used as a secondary capital. After all, Beiyuan was too far to the north, which was not conducive to controlling and governing the entire Douluo Continent.
More importantly, the barrier around Tiandou City is perfect!
It is surrounded by mountains on the east, west and north, and rivers and forests on the south. In the first 3 years after the establishment of the Tiandou Empire, these places were under the absolute control of the Tiandou royal family. Tiandou City was as solid as a rock and indestructible. Later, when the Tiandou royal family declined, these places were slowly occupied by other forces. Now Xue Ye is constantly taking them back.
For example: the strategic pass 150 kilometers east of Tiandou City, the former hidden place of Haotian Sect, which is now controlled by the Jidao Yinyang Leopard Clan [Dongzheng Mountain];
For example: Qibao Mountain controlled by Qibao Glazed Sect in the west of Tiandou City, which is the most important reason why Emperor Xue Ye had to make the main force of Qibao Glazed Sect move away from the original station and at least retreat dozens of kilometers. Otherwise, once Ning Fengzhi had any ideas and attacked Tiandou City from a high position, it would be difficult to deal with. Now that the Tiandou Royal Family has strength, they naturally don't want to suffer the grievances before.
Now the danger in the west has been basically eliminated by Emperor Xue Ye.
For example, the Blue Lightning Mountains controlled by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan in the north are the barrier to the north of Tiandou City. After being occupied by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, it became one of the biggest threats to Tiandou City.
Of the four barriers and passes in Tiandou City, the previous Tiandou royal family only controlled the rivers and forests in the south, which was the [Royal Hunting Ground].
At that time, Xue Ye had not yet activated the family treasure, and the strongest person in the royal family was only an old high-level Soul Douluo. Xue Ye also had many conflicts of interest with him. In that environment, he was still the de facto emperor, balancing the various factions of the empire and maintaining superficial unity. This shows how capable Xue Ye is. He is definitely not as useless as Tang San slandered in the original time and space.
Zhuang Xingyu thought about so much, but it actually only took him about ten breaths of time.
On the way to Prince Qi's Mansion, Xue Qinghe was enthusiastically introducing the surrounding things to Zhuang Xingyu.
"Xingyu, we had a very pleasant conversation meeting each other today, which made me realize how much of a brotherly bond we have. You see, it's a pity that the Prince Qi's Mansion has been empty all the time, why don't you move in, so you and I can communicate and learn from each other more often. Of course, my fourth brother Xuebeng, my sister Xue Ke, and my uncle Xue Xing can also go to Jidao Yin Yang Bao City to communicate and learn!" Xue Qinghe kept looking for topics.
"I appreciate your kindness, Prince, but I am slow to accept new things and I am a nostalgic person. I am reluctant to leave the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan. Moreover, the climate of Tiandou City is too different from that of Beiyuan, so I can only let you down. So, Brother Qinghe, how about you come to my Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan to exchange and learn? The Emperor has always wanted to exchange with our clan on how to quickly increase strength! It's just right for you to come and learn, and we brothers can sleep on the same bed and with our feet touching!"
Are you kidding? How could Zhuang Xingyu live in Prince Qi's Mansion for a long time? Even if he will live in Tiandou City in the future, he will have to become the leader of the Tiandou Empire and live directly in the Tiandou Palace. What Xue family? It is the Zhuang family that is in power now.
"I was inconsiderate. I apologize to you, my dear brother. Don't worry, I will definitely go to Jidao Yinyang Leopard City to exchange and learn with you if I have the chance in the future. I didn't express myself clearly just now. What I meant was that my Tiandou Empire and the Jidao Yinyang Leopard Clan are the closest partners. As the successors of the two major forces, we should also join hands and work together to create a prosperous era for the human race."
Qian Renxue actually wanted to win over Zhuang Xingyu. In her eyes, among the younger generation of the mainland today, only Zhuang Xingyu, who was also the descendant of a god, was qualified to be compared with her. The rest were just clowns, not worthy of being worthy of respect, and were just stepping stones that could not reach the stage. As long as she could deal with Zhuang Xingyu, everything would be settled.
"Of course, revitalizing the human race and creating a prosperous era are what every person with a conscience should do. It's not just you and me. In the entire Douluo Continent, anyone with ideals, justice, and responsibility, I am willing to work hand in hand with them to jointly open up a prosperous era for the human race! Let's jointly create a prosperous era for the Douluo Continent." Zhuang Xingyu was holding a ball and kept saying useless official words and clichés.
Zhuang Xingyu can now see through Qian Renxue's soul bone disguise. With her golden hair, long beautiful legs, and fairy-like figure, she is indeed a beauty.
Especially after accepting the divine test, she exudes a kind of detachment that is not of this world. It’s a bit of an exaggeration to say that she is the most beautiful woman in Douluo Continent, but she is still among the top 3.
Compared with Zi Han, Huangfu Ruiyao, Shui Bing'er and others, they are all in their own age.
Because of their soul power, the female soul masters in Douluo Continent are all good-looking. In fact, when it comes to appearance to a certain level, it is hard to tell who is better, it is more about temperament!
But how does temperament come from? Temperament is something that does not need to be learned, nor can it be learned. It relies on identity, soul power, and background. When your soul power is high and you have a backer, your temperament will naturally come out. At this time, even if you are nothing, others will automatically add a halo to you when they look at you.
After being in Douluo Continent for such a long time, Zhuang Xingyu still hasn't learned the nobles' way of speaking. Although these people's words and major decisions are posted in various government offices in the form of orders, they never intend to let ordinary civilians understand them. They are not meant for them to hear, but just a formality.
Compared with these vague and empty official language, Zhuang Xingyu prefers to speak directly and tell the ordinary people of Beiyuan what he wants to express, as long as they can understand it.
However, with Zhuang Xingyu's strength and status, what he said was right. No one dared to say anything. They had to listen carefully and applaud.
However, the words "the prosperity of the human race and the great unity of all living beings in the entire Douluo Continent" were first uttered by Zhuang Xingyu in the Douluo Continent, because before that, no one had ever truly raised their vision to the entire Douluo Continent and the entire human race, and treated them as a whole.
Even the Angel God who established the Spirit Hall was limited to one force and never thought of completely integrating all races. The conflict between soul masters and soul beasts is indeed difficult to reconcile, and this cannot be said to be the case with the Angel God.
