Chapter 354 You must humiliate me today!

After eight years of being influenced by Dayu, Xiao Yun had no objection to Ji Fa's act of turning the tables by giving up the throne to Li Yanmo.

In many senses, the position held by Emperor Yu is indeed not suitable for a human being to sit in.

"So, Your Majesty can only... choose to send someone away?"

"What else can I give you?"

After listening to Ji's words, Xiao Yun finally understood why Ji Fa said that Emperor Yu had gone to dig up the grave.

Li Yanmo's contribution is too great. This is not a question of whether to reward him or not, but of repaying his kindness.

But as the master of Tianxu Tower, Li Yanmo has neither status nor resources, and it is even more impossible for him to lack spirit stones.

Dayu could only use the most ancient way to give a woman away.

But the contemporary princesses are totally not enough, and even if the sisters of Emperor Yu himself are included, it is definitely not enough. There is no choice but to dig up those elders who have already been buried. If that is still not enough, maybe they will have to continue digging.

"Of course, in the end, Dayu still got the upper hand in the matter of giving the princess away," Ji Fa put his hands behind his head, "In order to defend the power of Emperor Yu, we must cut off the factions of other heirs, and the best way to cut them off is to [kill]."

"At least now we don't have to worry about the princesses' affairs. After they are given to your master, they are no longer members of the Dayu royal family under Dayu law and have no right of inheritance. They can move around without worry and at the same time elevate the status of Tianxu Tower, creating the impression that Tianxu Tower has been entrenched in the world for a long time. Even Dayu can only use marriage as a way to maintain balance."

"It just so happens that Tianxu Tower is still short of direct lineage personnel. I will wait for His Majesty to dig out all the elders and expand the strength of Tianxu Tower."

"I heard from the prime minister that they are planning to dig out the only female emperor of Dayu, so that the Taoists will believe that the female emperor can sit on the throne of Emperor Yu, relying on Tianxu Tower to operate behind the scenes."

Xiao Yun already understood the situation, but was still a little confused, "But will those [already dead] princesses be willing to accept this condition?"

"Why not? Not only can they come back to life, but they can also run around with the background of Tianxu Tower without having to hide anything. Moreover, they can completely cut off the succession rights of Emperor Yu, and prevent the situation where Ji Lie pretended to die and ran away, causing the princes and princesses to have to be resurrected to inherit the throne of Emperor Yu."

Jifa's face was full of envy.

"It's a pity that the credit goes to your master alone. And your master isn't interested in men."

"My master definitely doesn't like Long Yang! Eighth Prince, please don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Yun already knew the nature of these princes, and immediately spoke up to defend Li Yanmo's orientation.

"Brother Li has treated me well, why would I make up rumors about him?" Ji Fa raised his hand and waved, "Don't worry, other princes won't do that either."

Xiao Yun then breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that these princes would be jealous of the princess and would use this method to escape, and then go and say that Li Yanmo actually liked men as well.

Since Jifa said so, this situation will definitely not happen.

However, Xiao Yun also heard another sentence, that Tianxu Tower lacked some direct power.

It seems that the princesses of past dynasties cannot be regarded as the direct power of Tianxu Tower, but the death of the princes and princesses of past dynasties is related to the history of the entire Dayu Dynasty. Dayu will never recognize those princes and princesses who have died. And those princes and princesses will not admit that they are the orthodox of Dayu, whether out of selfishness or official business.

Besides, Dayu and Tianxulou are now wearing the same pair of pants.

"I roughly understand the Eighth Prince's idea. So what should I do during this trip to Yanzhou? What is so special about Yanzhou?"

This is also what Xiao Yun cares about most.

His sage bone has not yet reached perfection, so he will not be arrogant enough to think that he is invincible in the world, but he wants to repay Dayu and Li Yanmo, so he wants to go to Zhuozhou or Hanzhou, where the conflicts are most intense.

Xiao Yun did not question Dayu's arrangement, but Xiao Yun wanted to know why, otherwise he didn't know what he should do.

"This Yanzhou is more than special, it is extremely special," Ji Fa sneered, "This Yanzhou is the real target of this expedition to Zhongzhou."

Xiao Yun was stunned, "What should I do!?"

"Don't be in a hurry. Now is not the right time. Your master... has also set up a corresponding plan." Ji Fa shook his head. "You should act according to the situation and give this to Li Lin by the way."

Ji Fa raised his hand and threw a storage bag to Xiao Yun.

"There are some magic formulas and resources in here that only the Dayu royal family can learn."

"Brother Li seems to have contacted Li Lin several times. We can't always ask Brother Li to pay for it."

"Also... there are quite a few civilian marquises in this expeditionary force."

Xiao Yun weighed the storage bag in his hand and nodded in understanding, "I understand."

After saying that, Xiao Yun left the tent carrying the storage bag and came to the tent of the commoner marquis's son.

The Zhongzhou expedition was too difficult for a commoner marquis' son, and most of the sons chose to practice meditation, so there was only one commoner marquis' son, Li Lin, in the Yanzhou expedition force.

Xiao Yun was also a prominent figure in this Zhongzhou expedition, so his appearance immediately attracted a lot of attention and discussion.

Li Lin, who was adjusting his condition in the tent, heard the noise and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Yun's cold voice sounded from outside the tent.

"Where is Li Lin?"

Li Lin seemed to be thinking about something. He stood up and walked out of the tent. Outside the tent, Xiao Yun was riding a horse, looking down from above.

Seeing Li Lin coming out, Xiao Yun pulled the reins and was about to dismount, but Li Lin spoke first to stop Xiao Yun's movements, "I wonder what General Xiao wants to see me for?"

Xiao Yun raised his eyes, his face full of strangeness, but he still took off the storage bag from his waist and handed it to Li Lin, saying coldly, "His Highness is very optimistic about you and asked me to give these to you."

Li Lin's eyes lingered on the storage bag in Xiao Yun's hand for a few seconds, and he answered with a cupped hand, "No reward without merit—"

Xiao Yun just felt a toothache.

He understood what Li Lin meant.

After sighing helplessly in his heart, Xiao Yun sneered, "Accepting a gift? Are you worthy? You have no right to refuse this favor. If you refuse, hmph——"

After saying that, Xiao Yun threw the storage bag on the ground, pulled the horse and turned away.

Li Lin remained silent for a long time with his hands clasped in a bow. Finally, under the gaze of many people, he bit his lip, bent down and picked up the storage bag.

"Thank you, Your Highness—"

After saying that, Li Lin returned to the tent clutching the storage bag in his hand.

Li Lin, the son of Marquis Bahuang, and Xiao Yun, the adopted son of Mo Zhanxian, were originally the focus of the Yanzhou expedition. The news of this incident quickly spread among the Zhongzhou expeditionary army, and finally reached the ears of the Taoist monks.

After hearing this, Chu Lan, an inner sect disciple of Haoqi Sect, burst into laughter and joked with the people around him.

"I don't think the Eighth Prince is as powerful as the rumors say. He actually arranged for Xiao Yun to use both kindness and force on Li Lin!"

"This saves us a lot of effort. Li Lin will definitely remember this humiliation and eagerly pursue higher cultivation. He will definitely not touch the resources in the storage bag!"

The others present also smiled and nodded.
