Douluo's Fire

Tiandou City, in the imperial palace.

Ever since the news of the frontline war between the Wuhun Empire and the Star Luo Empire came out a week ago, Emperor Xue Beng had been unable to relax and sleep.

He recognized the power of the Wuhun Empire, and Bibi Dong was not a weakling at first glance. When the news came that more than 20 titled Douluo had appeared, he despaired.

He didn't think that the Star Luo Empire could stop the Martial Spirit Empire's attack.

He even believed that even if the one from the north took action, he would not be able to stop the Spirit Empire.

But why did the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, Shrek Academy, and the Tang Sect, who promised to fight against the Spirit Hall together with the Tiandou Empire, all go to the Star Luo Empire?

Have you ever taken him, the Emperor of the Tiandou Empire, seriously?

It was simply unreasonable to participate in the Star Luo Empire's war just after leaving the Tiandou Empire.

Angry, he cursed in his heart that if they were completely defeated in this war, it would be best if they were all killed by the Spirit Empire.

Therefore, during the war between the Star Luo Empire and the Wuhun Empire, it was strange that he slept more comfortably.

Until a week ago, the news of Tang Chen's domineering power came over, and the horizontal sword in the air was on Meiguan, killing many titled Douluo in the Wuhun Empire without taking an inch.

Everyone who heard the news felt a surge of blood in their hearts. It was the worship of absolute domineering force, except for Xue Beng.

He just felt dizzy, the world was spinning, and the whole world seemed to be moving away.

Now the Star Luo Empire has Tang Chen, the Wuhun Empire has many titled Douluo Bibi Dong, and the one in the north is even more powerful.

He looked around and found that there were tigers and wolves around him. Looking down, he saw that his lamb's hooves were trembling.

Why is the situation like this?

He originally thought that there was a Star Luo Empire in this world that was just as unwilling to suffer as he was.

But only when he looked back a little did he realize that he was the only one who was different.

Waving weakly, he told the ministers who had reported the news to go back. Emperor Xue Beng sat down slowly and tremblingly under his emperor's chair, overlooking his gorgeous palace.

deserted.

lonely.

Raising his head slightly, Emperor Xue Beng's stubborn eyes were in a daze, and his body and back were no longer so strong.

Perhaps, he has already admitted that he is the last emperor.

The south is the Wuhun Empire, a place where he cannot surrender no matter what.

Because there are too many old subordinates of Tiandou there.

As for the North, if they surrender, they will happily agree.

But judging from the news, I am afraid that on the day after the surrender, my clothes will be replaced by crude linen clothes.

The Great Judgment?Announcement?

Ha ha.

Smiling at himself, Emperor Xue Beng managed to prop himself up and prepared to walk to the apse.

Even if he is the last one, he must fulfill the responsibilities and powers of the emperor!

Otherwise, wouldn't all the years of forbearance he had endured be in vain? !

His steps were shaky, but at the moment he was about to leave, a nervous report drew his attention.

"Your Majesty! There is news coming from the north!"

His footsteps paused, Emperor Xue Beng looked at the little eunuch in front of him with a numb expression, and said, "What's the news?"

The little eunuch was very nervous and spoke a little fast, "It's about trade. The people in the north want to trade with us."

His eyes narrowed slightly, and the majesty of the emperor's position suddenly pressed on the little eunuch in front of him. Emperor Xue Beng asked: "Business? Are you sure?"

It's not that he hasn't thought about the strategy of driving the tiger to devour the wolf, but neither the Spirit Empire nor the North ignored all the agreements he proposed.

The south side probably wants to use it as a buffer zone with the north.

The north side was completely ignoring them. Judging from the troops they had been moving, he knew that they were interested in land.

A mere so-called agreement cannot shake their plan to go south.

But now, news suddenly comes from the north that trade negotiations will be launched. Who will believe it immediately?

"It's true, it's true, Your Majesty! This is a document from the north."

Taking the document from the little eunuch's hand with one hand, Emperor Xue Beng immediately opened it and read it.

There was not much text in it, and Emperor Xue Beng scanned the entire content at a glance.

But the information conveyed by the words inside made him excited and nervous.

Finally, there was a connection.

As long as there is a connection, his stillborn plan to drive away tigers and devour wolves will still be born.

It's just a trade agreement now, but he believes that as long as people start to circulate, the situation will not be so desperate.

At the very least, the pile of treasures in his treasure house will be put to use.

He doesn't believe that smashing down a treasure trove of treasures can't change their governing model.

People are greedy, and he believes this very much.

A week later, the Avalanche Emperor, who was overwhelmed by the two major forces, unexpectedly cooperated when faced with the olive branch thrown by the north.

He even expressed his willingness to cooperate at a deeper level.

The new regulation they were worried about before coming here seemed to be nothing in Emperor Xue Beng's eyes.

With a wave of his hand, except for not being able to publicize this matter in Tiandou City, they were allowed to publicize it elsewhere.

This excellent treatment made them realize how miserable the Tiandou Empire's current situation was.

With excited eyes, after pulling Lang San into the room, they immediately informed the rear of the situation and asked if they wanted to take the opportunity to increase the stakes.

Don't look at the fact that there are more and more contracted soul masters now, and many soul masters with martial souls working hard to open up wasteland and farm fields.

But in the north, the weather is not as good as here. The wind is humid, the water is warm and cool, the land is flat, and the soil is very fertile.

After scattering a few handfuls of seeds and cultivating them intensively, the food grown there is more productive than what they had.

All in all, they are greedy for the land here.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the people in the north used the Fire communication network to convene an emergency meeting and discuss a result.

It was decided to maintain the original agreement and not interfere with their land ownership issues.

However, considering the current limited amount of farmland in the north, they thought they could send professionals here in the Tiandou Empire to help transform the farmland.

Because Wuhun is a type of contracted soul master, there are many of them.

Moreover, if possible, we can continue to discuss the infrastructure issues of the Tiandou Empire.

They can send a road construction engineering team to help at a very favorable price.

At the same time, they also plan to choose an address on the border to open a school where everyone, regardless of nationality, can attend school.

All in all, it is to temporarily put aside the fundamental differences between the two countries and jointly develop local mineral resources, food cultivation, infrastructure construction, etc.

To this end, they can negotiate a military alliance treaty with the Tiandou Empire and send soldiers to the southern border of the Tiandou Empire to protect the territorial integrity of the allies.

Emperor Xue Beng, who had dragged Tiger and Wolf into the house, had a stiff smile on his face when he looked at the contents of the negotiation document handed over by the negotiating team.

He knew that if he wanted to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf, he would inevitably take a lot of risks, and it was very possible for him to be rebounded.

However, he hasn't even started taking action yet. Is he so eager to swallow up his empire?

Yes, in his opinion, doesn't the content in the negotiation document mean that he is annexing his empire?

They took over food, built roads, and were involved in education, as well as commerce and military.

Except for politics, basically everything in the empire was taken over by them.

Using his fingers hard, Emperor Xue Beng wanted to tear up the negotiation document and knock out all the people in front of him.

But the pressure of reality in the south and the behemoth in the north made Emperor Avalanche's fingers turn pale. He reluctantly smiled and asked them to go back and wait for the news.

With a creak, the door closed.

After all the people in the negotiation team were gone, Emperor Xue Beng sat on the emperor's seat and threw the documents in his hand on the table with some anger.

He glanced at the ministers in the palace sinisterly, and said with hidden anger: "Tell me what you think about the contents of this document."

There are only a few ministers who can be summoned by Emperor Xue Beng. Apart from Ge Long, there are less than three.

After several people looked at each other, Marshal Ge Long took the lead in saluting and pleading: "Your Majesty, we cannot sign this agreement. If we sign, the empire will not be protected."

With that said, Marshal Ge Long glanced at the others, asking them to also persuade Emperor Xue Beng.

Once this agreement is signed, the Tiandou Empire will exist in name only and the country will perish.

After they went underground, how could they have the dignity to meet their ancestors?

But several other ministers, with their eyes and noses in mind, saluted Emperor Xue Beng very respectfully.

"We only follow His Majesty's orders. Whatever His Majesty wants to do, we old ministers will follow you to the death."

These words made Marshal Ge Long feel a chill in his back. He was sending his country to death and only caring about his own safety.

Taking a step forward, Marshal Ge Long looked at them with suppressed anger, "You, this..."

"My beloved Ge Long, please step aside for now." Emperor Xue Beng, who was sitting on the throne, stopped Marshal Ge Long from questioning.

With an unwilling look on his face, he wanted to continue to persuade Emperor Xue Beng, but under Emperor Xue Beng's order, Marshal Ge Long had no choice but to salute and obey, "Yes, Your Majesty."

The light dimmed and brightened again, and as Marshal Ge Long's footsteps faded away, the hall fell into silence again.

Emperor Xue Beng, who was sitting on the throne, leaned sideways to support his head and looked at the three people in front of him quietly.

A dull atmosphere began to fill the hall.

The three of them stood respectfully in front of Emperor Xue Beng without making a sound.

They are all veterans. Except for Marshal Ge Long who still holds imperial ambitions in his heart, everyone here is very aware of the current reality.

If they didn't find the one from the north to hug them, their Tiandou Empire would really be in ruins.

Either this year or next year, if the empire doesn't find someone to join, one or two wars are waiting for it.

Looking for someone from the north to hug you is a slow suicide. In a few decades, the entire empire will change their surnames. Old guys like them will definitely be pulled out of the coffin and cast aside by thousands of people.

It's much better to find the one in the south. With the huge size of the family, you can live comfortably even if you squeeze in there.

But the one in the south won't accept their surrender.

There are too many big families there, so much so that they have cast their greedy eyes on these big families, and there is no room for them to survive.

One is a chronic suicide, the other is a one-shot death.

Anyone with a brain will know which side to choose.

After all, it is better to die than live.

Besides, after those agreements were signed, they were not the ones who suffered the most. If the sky fell, there would be tall people standing up.

And when the rope sold later is wrapped around their necks, given their physical conditions, whether they are alive or not is a question, so what are they afraid of?

There was silence, while the three people were making plans in their minds, Emperor Xue Beng was counting the time in his mind.

Letting Marshal Ge Long go out was naturally for his later plan to corrupt the ruling system in the north.

As a royal family, although there are many treasures in the treasure house, it would be good to attract more people to share the treasure.

It just so happened that these families were rejected by the south and became meat to be eaten.

As a family of the Tiandou Empire, it is normal for them to contribute some effort to their great plan.

Time passed by, and when the bodies of the three people were about to be unable to bear it, Emperor Xue Beng suddenly spoke gently.

"Duke Lin, I have heard recently that your grandson caused some trouble in the lower city area recently, right?"

The old man in the center felt that his legs were sore and almost numb, and when he was retreating toward the opening, he suddenly heard Emperor Xue Beng asking about his grandson.

He quickly and respectfully replied: "I am afraid that my unworthy descendant Xun'er has defiled His Majesty's holy ears. I will definitely punish him severely when I return."

His eyes narrowed slightly, and a surge of anger emerged in Emperor Xue Beng's heart. This was because he was relying on his old age and neglecting his old age.

However, thinking of what happened today, Emperor Xue Beng had no choice but to pretend he didn't notice and continued to speak gently:

"Duke Lin was joking, but I have recently felt that Xun'er was such a good child when he was young. He was gentle and courteous, and everyone liked him."

"Now, he has become a 'good boy' who visits brothels every night and bullies men and women every day."

At the end of the sentence, Emperor Xue Beng leaned down slightly and said with a condescending smile.

Leaning down slightly, Duke Lin looked at the smile on Emperor Xue Beng's face, and then thought of Marshal Ge Long's attitude and the silence of the two people next to him, and couldn't help but change his face slightly.

He lowered his head and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty is right. Lin Yi has committed an unforgivable crime and is unworthy of being the legitimate son of the Lin family. After returning, I will definitely judge him in accordance with the law and give him justice when he returns to the empire!"

These words made the smile on Emperor Xue Beng's face get even bigger, and he waved his hands with a smile.

"Aiqing is joking. I was just thinking that Xun'er, a person with a complete aristocratic education, could become like this after gaining beauty and power."

"So, what will happen to a person who has only received some education and has never enjoyed beauty, money, or power, but suddenly has these?"

"Or," Emperor Xue Beng leaned over and said with a bewitching tone: "It will get worse."
