Now Dali is not the Dasheng of the past. In the past, Dasheng lived in a corner, had less communication with the outside world, and was limited to the surrounding forces.

But the current Dali not only has a much larger territory, but even commerce is spreading to the center of the Northwest Territory. Every day, a large number of caravans come by boat from the opposite side of the Tongxian Inner Sea.

Therefore, a lot of news from the central area of ​​the Northwest Territory was brought over by the caravan, and Dali's practitioners also learned a lot about the situation in the entire Northwest Territory.

Moreover, Gu Qishan is a court general, and he knows more about the situation than ordinary practitioners.

"I wonder what your Excellency's purpose in coming to Dali is?" Gu Qishan asked.

"I want to see His Majesty Lihuang!" Jiang Wanli replied.

Gu Qishan stared, his face full of shock.

Deity!

Venerable Sendai Realm!

"The general understands. Since the lord wants to see His Majesty, please allow the general to inform the venerable." Gu Qishan said.

"Oh! Can you inform His Majesty Li Huang?" Jiang Wanli asked in surprise.

Gu Qishan smiled awkwardly, and said: "Of course the final general can't, but the final general can report to the superior, and then the superior will report."

He is not qualified to present directly to Zheng Ming, and even if he did, it would take a lot of time. By the time their memorial arrives in the capital, it is estimated that Jiang Wanli will already be in the capital.

When Jiang Wanli heard this, he immediately lost interest.

"If there is nothing else, the deity will not send it away."

This is the order to chase away guests, Gu Qishan quickly replied: "The last general will leave."

Immediately, Gu Qishan took the people away from the flying boat.

……

Dali Kyoto, in the study of the imperial palace.

There are two memorials in front of Zheng Ming.

One was from Jinyiwei, and the other was from Qianning County, also sent through Jinyiwei's channel.

Both memorials said one thing, that is, people from Tianmu City would come to visit him.

After reading these two memorials, Zheng Ming said helplessly: "It seems that we can't keep a low profile even if we want to."

Beside him, Jia Xu held a cup of tea and said with a smile: "My Dali is now more powerful than the previous Dasheng Dynasty, and I can be regarded as a powerful party in the Northwest Region. It is not surprising that Tianmu City will pay attention."

"But this is troublesome!" Zheng Ming walked to the tea table and sat down.

Now Dali is in a period of rapid development. Compared with external interests, maintaining the stable development of Dali is the top priority of the court.

Zheng Ming didn't want to get involved in the affairs of Tianmu City for the time being. He hoped that Dali could accumulate more knowledge and stand up until he was able to face all challenges.

Jia Xu asked: "Then, can Your Majesty see the two venerables from Tianmu City?"

Jiang Wanli and Wei Qishan had arrived in the capital three days ago, and they had also reported their request to the imperial court's Ministry of Etiquette.

But Zheng Ming kept procrastinating and did not meet them immediately.

The reason was that he was waiting for information from Jin Yiwei.

Now that Jin Yi's information has been delivered, it's time to make a decision.

"Everyone is here, can you still see me?"

Zheng Ming shook his head and said, "Let them enter the palace tomorrow."

No matter what, Tianmu City is the most powerful force in the Northwest Territory. Although Zheng Ming doesn't care about Tianmu City, he can't be rude.

"Weichen will make arrangements now," Jia Xu said.

Zheng Ming nodded slightly and didn't say any more.

At this moment, he was thinking about how to reject the invitation from Tianmu City.

Chapter 5 Risks and Benefits

the next morning.

Jiang Wanli and Wei Qishan came to the gate of the palace under the arrangement of officials from the Ministry of Rites.

In front of the palace gate, Xiao Fuzi was already waiting.

Seeing Jiang Wanli and Wei Qishan approaching, Xiao Fuzi hastily stepped forward to meet him and said, "I have seen the two venerables."

Jiang Wanli sized up Little Fuzi and said, "This must be Eunuch Fu."

He has been in the capital for three days, and he has learned a lot about Dali, and he has also inquired about a lot of things about Dali's court, especially the situation in the imperial palace.

Of course, it's just the superficial situation, such as Xiaofuzi. .

As the handprint eunuch of the Supervisor of Rituals, although Xiao Fuzi is usually low-key, he still attracts the attention of many people.

"Don't dare, your lord can just call me Xiaofuzi." Xiaofuzi said politely.

"My lords, please!"

Jiang Wanli took a deep breath, and followed Xiao Fuzi into the palace.

At this moment, his heart was full of apprehension.

If Tianmu City hadn't broken with the Four Pavilions and the Two Sects before, he wouldn't be uneasy.

But now Tianmu City needs Dali's support, and he needs Dali's support, so his mentality will naturally not be the same as before.

After a moment.

Xiao Fuzi brought Jiang Wanli and the two to Zheng Ming's study.

"Jiang Wanli in Tianmu City, Wei Qishan has met His Majesty Lihuang!" The two bowed and saluted, showing their respect for the emperor.

Zheng Ming looked at them with a smile on his face, and said with a smile, "You two honorable ones are too polite. I have admired your names for a long time."

"Honor Wanli, you can break through the demon domain with one sword, and kill the demon master with one sword. Haha, he is the hero of my human race."

"Honor Qishan, 300 years ago, in the area of ​​monsters, he knocked down a hundred miles of mountains with one punch, buried an army of 30 monsters, and demonstrated the majesty of our human race."

"There are two of them, it is really the luck of the human race."

Zheng Ming said appreciatively.

He was not exaggerating at all, Jiang Wanli and Wei Qishan were long-established figures in Tianmu City.

Don't look at the fact that there are many monster races in Dali, but in fact, the Northwest Territory has always been a situation where the human race and the monster race are opposed.

In the fringes of the monster region alone, wars between the human race and the monster race often occur.

And Tianmu City, as the most powerful existence among the many forces in the Northwest Territory, has always been the main force against the demon region.

Both Jiang Wanli and Wei Qishan have fought for the human race in the demon land, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the heroes of the human race.

"I'm ashamed, I just did a small thing within my power, far inferior to His Majesty Li Huang's foresight, who actually subdued tens of thousands of miles of demon seas for the human race." Jiang Wanli complimented.

The confrontation between the human race and the monster race has not changed for thousands of years, but the appearance of Da Li has completely changed this pattern.

Some people think that Dali treats the monster race so favorably, which is not a good thing for the human race, and some even regard Dali as a traitor to the human race.

Of course, there are also some people who hold an attitude of indifference, what does Dali's matter have to do with them, and they have nothing to do with themselves.

Zheng Ming didn't know Jiang Wanli's true thoughts, so he thought Jiang Wanli was an honest person.

"Haha, please sit down." Zheng Ming said with a smile.

The three sat down, and the tea mist curled up.

After some politeness, the two parties seemed to become cordial, and there was no strangeness in speaking before.

Jiang Wanli has been narrating what he saw and heard in Dali these days, bluntly saying that Dali is the most potential dynasty he has ever seen.

And Zheng Ming has always praised the prosperity of Tianmu City, and said that he hopes to go to Tianmu City to see it for himself one day.

Like old friends, the two chatted nonsense for a long time, but they didn't have a word related to the business.

Of course, this is only on the surface, in fact, both of them are testing each other.

Jiang Wanli hoped to know more about Zheng Ming so that he could do what he liked.

Zheng Ming wanted to see Jiang Wanli's attitude towards Dali, and Xu Qingyang's attitude towards Dali behind him.

"Your Majesty Lihuang, this is a handwritten letter brought by my master."

After talking nonsense for more than half an hour, everyone in Jiang Wanli couldn't bear it anymore. They took out a letter from their sleeves and handed it to Zheng Ming.

Zheng Ming looked at the letter and couldn't help being shocked.

He really didn't expect Xu Qingyang to write him a letter.

After all, he had no contact with Xu Qingyang at all, and Da Li had almost no contact with Tianmu City.

The two parties could be said to be complete strangers, yet Xu Qingyang personally wrote him a letter.

It seems to be sincere.

Then Zheng Ming opened the letter and read it.

There was not much content in the letter, only a few hundred words, but it was written with sincerity, so that Zheng Ming couldn't help but feel that the crimes of the Four Pavilions and the Two Religions were extremely heinous, and felt that it was not easy for Tianmu City and Xu Qingyang.

Although Zheng Ming has never met Xu Qingyang, he still admires Xu Qingyang.

Dare to break with the Four Pavilions and Two Religions, this courage is admirable.

As for whether Xu Qingyang was for the Northwest Territory, that really didn't matter.

In fact, Zheng Ming knew very well that Xu Qingyang did this not for the Northwest Territory, but for himself.

If a puppet city lord wants to become a regular, he must completely break with the manipulator.

Xu Qingyang didn't want to continue to be a puppet, but wanted to be the real controller of Tianmu City and the overlord of the entire Northwest Territory, that's why he broke with the Four Pavilions and the Two Religions.

However, what he did was also a good thing for the entire Northwest Territory, so Xu Qingyang's original intention was not important, what was important was that what he did was indeed beneficial to most of the forces in the Northwest Territory.

Anyway, now that Xu Qingyang has all the fame, wealth and name, no one can deny his merits to the Northwest Territories.

But whether you want to join the Tongdao League or not is not certain.

"I don't know what His Majesty Li Huang wants," Jiang Wanli asked softly.

Zheng Ming looked up at him meaningfully, and said: "My Dali has just been established for more than ten years, and its strength is weak, and there is a threat from the fairy dynasty in the east, and the sky demon dynasty in the south may invade at any time. To be honest, I currently have no spare energy to help Tianmu City."

The excuse should be sufficient, the attitude should be sincere, even if it is rejected, it should be full of gentle tone.

Jiang Wanli was not disappointed when he heard the words, or he had expected such a result a long time ago.

"Dali doesn't need to make a move, just needs Dali to join the Alliance of the Same Way and build momentum for Tianmu City."

Facing the powerful forces in the Central Sky Territory, Tianmu City wants to unite all the forces in the Northwest Territory, but everything is difficult at the beginning. At present, no force has expressed its willingness to join the Alliance.

Obviously, everyone is watching.

Both Xu Qingyang and Jiang Wanli are very aware of this, so they urgently need to find the first force to join the alliance.

Although Dali has just been established and its strength is not considered the top existence in the entire Northwest Territory, Dali is currently the most stable force in the Northwest Territory.

The Eastern Fairy Dynasty is busy dealing with the rebellious Xingnan Palace and fighting against the Longhua Dynasty.

The Southern Heavenly Demon Dynasty is busy invading the Dai Viet Dynasty.

Although all forces are currently restraining the idea of ​​continuing to attack, they are not as stable as Da Li.

To put it simply, Dali is currently the easiest force to recruit in Tianmu City.

Zheng Ming pondered for a moment.

It's not impossible if you just join the Tongdao League.

Only joining, not making a move, let Dali have more qualifications and prestige in the Northwest Territory.

Of course, there are also corresponding risks.

Once the Four Pavilions and the Two Sects come back to find a place, they will inevitably liquidate all the forces and everyone in the Tongdao League.

The risks and benefits are not equal.

"This..." Zheng Ming showed a troubled expression.

It seems unreasonable to want Dali to take risks without real benefits.
