Chapter 81: On the Reward of Meritorious Deeds
Money, money, money!
Even though Nangong Lang already had a plan to open up the source in the future, he didn't expect the front-line battle to be so fast. How does this allow you to raise money in time? Although there was no big war, there were not too many casualties, but in order to pave the way for diplomacy, it took countless spirit stones to open the way, bribing officials, blaming the fake bribes of the Shengdan Holy Domain, and bribing all parties.
"Mr. Lu really doesn't feel sorry for money at all!" Nangong Lang looked at the list of accounts and smiled bitterly.
The money is spent, but next, those cities are included in the Eastern Country, but they need to buy the hearts of the people. Tax exemption for one year, that is the basic standard, the construction of people's livelihood projects, the transfer of officials everywhere, the officials are rich, all kinds of grooming!
Thinking about it, Nangong Lang had a headache.
However, a headache is a headache, and Nangong Lang is still amazed by the ability of Mr. Lu and Zhang Wei, because now, the consumption has been compressed to a minimum.
The three major Heavenly Immortal forces, including the Xuanxu Three Peaks Holy Land, have as many as two hundred and fifty cities, which are the same as the expansion of the Eastern Kingdom now, and now they have doubled in size.
The territory of the Eastern Kingdom has reached 500! And this took just over eight months.
For a while, the nearby forces were all terrified, and they were inexplicably shocked by the rise of the Eastern Kingdom. Some forces that wanted to fish in troubled waters instantly disappeared from their figures.
At the same time, the major forces also have a certain understanding of the Oriental State, and they will repay each other and never die!
Lingxiao City, at the entrance of the Evergreen Palace, Wang Xiong led his ministers to wait for the triumphant return of the Dongwei army.
Coach Lu Yang, Si Xin, Xuan Xu, Xuan Bing, Xuan Yan, and a group of surrendered earth immortals from the three major forces, including countless heroes, all gathered in the palace at this moment.
Today, the royal palace is not ordinary! Because, the moment they stepped into the palace, everyone's cultivation disappeared in an instant. Including the three heavenly immortals, Xuanxu, Xuanbing, and Xuanyan.
All of them lost their cultivation, and only the power of their souls remained, revealing panic one by one.
"The king is waiting, come with me!" Lu Yang said.
"Dashuai, what force has our cultivation been suppressed?" Xuan Xuan looked worried.
Behind Xuanxu, there are also a number of earth immortals, who also showed a look of panic, although they were persuaded by Zhang Wei, but the strong people were still a little unwilling in their hearts, after all, they dominated one side, but now they came to surrender to the Eastern Country? Before, the Eastern Kingdom was nothing. This time, it's all to blame for their nosy, otherwise, how can we compromise?
Although the strong people heard Xuan Bing exaggerate Wang Xiong's strength to the point of perversion, the strong people didn't believe it in their hearts, after all, Wang Xiong had just survived the catastrophe for less than a year, and the most people were immortal cultivators. Even if it is powerful, how powerful can it be? Those heavenly immortals in the past were destroyed by heaven, and they had little to do with Wang Xiong, right?
There was resentment in the hearts of the people. It's just that I can't bear it.
Lu Yang looked at the group of strong men, and said with a hint of chuckle: "You should be glad that it is my Dongwei Army that went to you and other forces, if the king is personally marching, you will not even have the opportunity to come to worship!" ”
"What?" Everyone looked at Xuanxu in confusion.
"You can't exert your cultivation all over you, that's because the king's royal qi is suppressed! Just imagine, if the king comes to you and other former central capitals and holy mountains, in such a state, can you still resist? Lu Yang said lightly.
"We ......!" Everyone's faces changed.
Now, apart from soul power, it is useless for me to fight mortals, and if I fight, I will still fight a fart! The cold sweat of everyone was terrifying.
"The king is already waiting, come with me to see you!" Lu Yang said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" The strong men suddenly looked solemn.
Slowly, everyone walked towards the entrance of the Evergreen Palace. Wang Xiong and his ministers were already waiting for them.
"Minister Lu Yang, take the Dongwei army and meet the king!" Lu Yang solemnly saluted.
Everyone behind him bowed down.
"Flat!!" Wang Xiong said.
"King Xie!" Everyone straightened up.
"The king, the Dongwei army has lived up to the king's expectations, and has let the culprit be punished, and raised the prestige of my Dongfang country, now Lu Yang, I have come to return Shuai Yin!" Lu Yang held a large seal and sent it to Wang Xiong.
The Dongwei army has done everything.
Wang Xiong took the handsome seal and handed it to the tray of the attendants on the side.
"Aiqing has worked hard, you have worked hard! Lone has already prepared a feast, and after giving you rewards for meritorious deeds, you will drink happily! Wang Xiong spoke.
"King Xie!" A group of soldiers said excitedly.
Wang Xiong looked at Xuan Xu, Xuan Bing and the others, and saw the panic of the surrendered powerhouses at the moment, Wang Xiong smiled slightly: "Everyone, once you have entered the Eastern Country, you will be the courtiers of the Eastern Country, and you will treat everyone equally, and I hope that you will always remember your identity!" ”
"Yes!" A group of strong men immediately responded.
Wang Xiong smiled slightly, and flicked his sleeves.
"Whew!"
Suddenly, the aura that overwhelmingly suppressed cultivation disappeared in an instant.
All the strong people felt that they were no longer suppressed, and immediately sighed, and at the same time looked at Wang Xiong, a burst of horror. is very Xuanxu, Xuanxu is extremely happy in his heart, Xuanxu knows that Wang Xiong is very strong, but he never knows that Wang Xiong has such a strange and unpredictable ability.
O immortals! In front of it, a body of cultivation is all suppressed? Could it be that before the tribulation, the king had this ability? If it was used at the beginning, then the immortals would have been a joke at all, and there was no need to use the curse to kill the immortals.
In this way, the king still left a hand, in order to accept those who were willing to surrender? If I had wanted to play tricks, wouldn't I have died a miserable death? A trace of cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the three heavenly immortals.
Of course, the reason why everyone can be suppressed is because Wang Xiong's 'Vain Death City Order' has finally been restored, and it has been a year, a whole year of waiting, and the Vain Death City Order has been restored. Sure enough, today's effect is remarkable, and the resentment in the hearts of those strong people who surrendered instantly dissipated, and they even trembled and were grateful to Dade.
The ministers were enlisted, and a large number of Dongwei Army officials stood in the center of the court waiting for the reward.
Wang Xiong sat on the dragon chair, waved his hand, and the attendant read the holy decree.
---
Fengtian carrier, the king of the East said, Dongwei Army, rescue the people, raise the prestige of our country, coach Lu Yang, merit in Sheji, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Sealing, three elixirs, and millions of spirit stones.
----
"King Xie!" Lu Yang bowed slightly.
Gongbu Langzhong jumped directly to the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry, one step away from Shangshu. But it's a huge span.
"Deputy Marshal Zhang Wei, the merit is in Sheji, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, two elixirs, and 600,000 spirit stones!" The attendant continued to read.
Zhang Wei did not come back, but at this moment there is also a promotion, Zhang Wei was originally the right waiter of the Ministry of Rites, but now he has been promoted to the left waiter, and he is also an official level, and now the official rank is the same as Lu Yang.
"The Heavenly Wolf Battalion Master, Ember, has a meritorious role in breaking the city, allows him to build a regiment, expands his army a hundred times, seals it, the Heavenly Wolf Regiment, the embers of the regiment leader, rewards an elixir, and 200,000 spirit stones."
"The master of the Heavenly Snake Camp, the heart, the merit of breaking the city, and the reward of 80,000 spirit stones!"
"Xuanxu, with the merit of the Dongwei Army, sealed Xuanxu as the 'Lord of the Sea City' in the Immortal City! Enjoy two elixirs! ”
"Xuan Bing, with the merit of cooperating with the Dongwei Army, sealed Xuan Bing as the 'Red Lian City Lord' of the Immortal City!"
"Xuan Yan, with the Dongwei Army, he has made Xuan Yan the 'City Lord of Yin Water City' in the Immortal City!"

One by one, they were canonized. All the strong people have received a certain canonization, of course, the canonization at this moment is much smaller than the power in their own forces, but their respective family properties have not been confiscated, except for the official positions have become smaller, their respective wealth is not much less, and the strong people are reluctant to accept it. It's just that all the strong people heard a strange thing from the canonization.
Immortal City? This is not a mortal city, there are countless cities in the Eastern Kingdom, but they are all mortal cities, where did the immortal city come from?
There are rewards and punishments, and under the rewards, all the officials of the Eastern Kingdom are extremely excited in their hearts.
Because, just this time, the territory was opened, not only the territory was expanded several times, but the number of immortals also increased by countless people, leaving aside those immortals who fled and were unwilling to surrender, now, the number of heavenly immortals has increased by three, the number of earth immortals has increased by twenty, and the number of human immortals has increased by two hundred. The Eastern Kingdom has become a behemoth.
Such a strong country also made the Quartet tremble for a while.
Dongwei Jun has been rewarded until the end of the evening, after the reward, is a feast to celebrate, at this moment, the immortals no longer have grievances, and do not dare to be presumptuous here, in the feast, staggered, is a perfect curtain call.
On this day, everyone in the Eastern Kingdom had a night of laughter, only Nangong Lang was depressed and entangled in calculating the new accounts, and at the same time, he continued to calculate the money of the Quartet to the extreme. Struggling with the huge expenses that lie ahead.
Two days later, go to the study. Wang Xiong sat behind the table.
In front of him stood Lu Yang and Nangong Lang.
"Mr. Nangong, Zhang Wei is on the front line, took over Mr. Lu's affairs, and deployed officials from the Quartet to take up their posts in different places, next, I need you to contact him more! Straighten everything out! Wang Xiong looked at Nangong Lang.
Nangong Lang smiled slightly bitterly: "Don't worry, the king!" Although the spirit stone is nervous, the minister can still barely deploy it, but there can be no more large-scale battles, and the finances of the Eastern Kingdom are already at the limit! If there is any more, it will collapse! ”
"Next, recuperate, Lone knows that there is a crisis in front of him, five hundred cities, merge with Xiancheng, and Mr. Nangong has made a plan?" Wang Xiong looked at Nangong Lang.
"Yes, five hundred cities, I'm afraid, some places will have to relocate a part, but, in general, the plan has been made, and it will probably merge into fifty immortal cities! And, it doesn't happen overnight and takes a lot of time to change! Nangong Lang said solemnly.
"That's good!" Wang Xiong nodded.
Turning his head, Wang Xiong looked at Lu Yang: "Mr. Lu, Zhang Wei's front-line audit and dispatch officials, these were originally done by the Ministry of Officials, but now, the Ministry of Officials does not have any big talents, so I bother you and Zhang Wei to do a lot of extra work!" It's only been a few years since the recovery of the Eastern Kingdom, and all kinds of talents are too scarce, don't blame Mr. Lu! ”
"The king doesn't have to care, it's his duty! It didn't take much effort! Lu Yang smiled.
These things are really tiring and troublesome, but now that all the mess on the front line has been lost to Zhang Wei, Lu Yang is now happy and relaxed, so he doesn't mind saying some polite words.
"It's not troublesome, then the third imperial examination will bother Mr. Lu to preside over it!" Wang Xiong said with a smile.
"Ugh!" Lu Yang's smile stopped abruptly.
"Dongfang Country is now too desperate for talents, Mr. doesn't think it's troublesome, no matter how good it is, the imperial examination is a trivial matter, presumably Mr. Lu will be at ease!" Wang Xiong said with a smile.
Lu Yang: "..................! ”
Is it a trifle? Imperial examination? How can it be as simple as it says, the exam questions are only secondary, but also to screen candidates, but also to consider whether there are foreign forces to conspire, but also to coordinate countless examination rooms to prevent fraud. Lu Yang suddenly felt annoyed, angry at what he had just said.
"Also, what elixir you need recently, you can list it, up to the Life Creation Pill, down to the Awakening Pill, I can refine it in the Eastern Country, you can say whatever you need!" Wang Xiong comforted.
Hearing Wang Xiong's promise of the elixir, the two felt a little better.
