The publication of the "Jade Dragon News" caused a nationwide frenzy.
People were talking about it.
"This female ghost is terrifying."
"Insidious and cunning, a devilish spirit."
"The key issue is that someone wants to summon her soul back, and that's the most terrifying thing."
"A soul-summoning formation, a death trap!"
Ordinary people might happily treat the stories in the supplement as just stories, but politicians would never consider them simple tales.
The Yulong Daily is very valuable. I heard that a short "lifestyle" article with a hidden advertisement can sell for a hundred taels of silver per word. How could it possibly use a whole page to tell a strange story?
The Jade Dragon Newspaper was not only snapped up by the people of Jade Dragon, but people from other countries also rushed to buy it. The reason was simple: the newspaper contained the latest policies and news of Jade Dragon, and they could obtain a lot of information from it.
Businessmen can obtain commercial information and ensure they get a head start in making money.
Politicians can obtain political information to ensure they develop alongside the Jade Dragon Kingdom and are not targeted by it.
For example, this issue's supplement may be unknown to people from other countries, but is well understood by people from Xiandou, Pyu, Nanzhao, Tubo, and Dongli.
That wasn't a supernatural tale at all; it was about their soul-summoning formation.
The other four countries felt they had been fooled, that spies were so rampant in their own countries.
In an instant, countries launched a campaign to destroy the Soul Array.
Dongli Kingdom.
The emperor looked grim; almost all the spies they had painstakingly planted in other countries over generations had been dismantled.
Originally, Pyu Kingdom was already within their grasp, and even the first batch of "immigrants" had successfully settled in Pyu territory. Who knew that before they could even warm their nest, they were all wiped out by that brat from the Queen's Empire.
"Has Empress Jiang lost her mind? How dare she become an enemy of my Dongli Kingdom?"
Jiang was the royal surname of the Queen's Empire.
The Queen's Empire, with a territory smaller than Dongli and a total population of only ten million, actually led 100,000 troops to Pyu and wiped out Dongli's vanguard!
“Your Majesty, Empress Jiang was originally a physician by Emperor An’s side. Not only is she a master of poisons, but she also possesses new types of weapons,” said Prime Minister Dongli. “We cannot defeat her.”
Yeah, we can't beat them!
Emperor Dongli was so angry his eyes almost popped out: "Has Emperor An lost his mind? How could he tell the secret of a new weapon to a foreign empress?"
Three people under the tree said at the right moment, "Those new weapons are even more powerful than those recorded in our secret history. Our ancestors' weapons could only burn the enemy, but their weapons can kill people."
"Our ancestor's skills must have improved again!" Matsushita said. "Yulong's weapon was brought by Emperor Chen. Although he doesn't know us, the technology he knows is even more terrifying than recorded in history."
"If our ancestor returns, the Queen's Empire and the Pyu Kingdom will be utterly defeated!"
The courtiers exclaimed excitedly.
With one voice and boundless enthusiasm, everyone cried out: "Please invite the Ancestor! Please invite the Ancestor! Please invite the Ancestor!"
Emperor Dongli frowned and said, "But our ancestor is already the greatest emperor on the Tian Sheng Continent. Does he really want to return to Dongli?"
Yes, they want their ancestor to return and help them conquer the world.
But now, the "Ancestor" has a wife and children, and his status is far higher than that of the Emperor of Dongli. Why would he become the Emperor of Dongli's advisor?
This is utterly ridiculous!
If we insist on bringing the ancestor back, there will only be one outcome: Emperor Chen will become the eldest, and Emperor Dongli will voluntarily abdicate.
At most, the family under the tree can only become a king of a different surname!
No, how could the Shuxia family possibly abdicate? Not even the patriarch.
He is the ancestor, but not the ancestor of the family under his tree.
Matsushita Ichika and Kishita Sanjo also suddenly realized this and shut up.
A sea breeze swept through the court, and the enthusiasm of the officials for the ancestor suddenly subsided.
We've found our ancestor, but how do we settle him/her?
Originally, they all thought that since the ancestor was a woman, as long as she was willing to serve Dongli in unifying the world, she could choose to be made a king, prime minister, or ancestor.
But no one considered what would happen to the Shuxia family if the other party wanted the throne.
"Bring the ancestor here?" the three under the tree said cautiously. "We have no other choice but to bring him here now."
“He has powerful weapons,” someone suggested.
"He couldn't possibly be carrying new weapons with him. If we're quick enough, we can bring him here."
Once you capture him and force him to offer his skills, you can support him indefinitely.
Emperor Dongli did not think it was disrespectful to the "Ancestor". They had done so much work, planted spies for generations, and so many good men of Pyu had died. What would it matter if the Ancestor sacrificed himself?
It was decided that Matsushita would lead a team to request an exchange activity with Living Buddha Yuanji.
At the same time, they followed the top assassins of Dongli, preparing to knock Chen Di unconscious and bring him back.
Various details were discussed in Dongli Kingdom.
After agreeing on the terms, they presented their credentials.
In the third month of the fourth year of the Jade Dragon reign, Zhou Shaoyu, seeing that the Eastern Li Kingdom had applied to come to the Jade Dragon Kingdom for Buddhist exchanges, wrote with a flourish: "Living Buddha Yuanji has gone on a pilgrimage and will not accept visits!"
Emperor Dongli: ......
Matsushita was dumbfounded. "No, you're busy, can't you arrange for someone else to receive you?"
Therefore, the Emperor of Dongli sent another letter, wanting to arrange a Go match between the top Go player of Dongli and the master Go player of Yulong.
Yulong replied: Sure, may I ask which city in your country?
Emperor Dongli slammed the memorial on the table in anger. "What are we doing, inviting you to a competition? And then having to entertain your chess players?"
A month later, another letter arrived from the Kingdom of Dongli, this time making no attempt to conceal their intentions: We wish to visit and learn from your country.
This reply... it's been so long since I last replied!
Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao were really busy, and all the officials in the court were also very busy.
The profits generated in one year of reform and opening up trade in Changhe Town, Lizhou, exceeded the income of two years of hard work.
