Chapter 1518: Once in 150 years

This is not entirely flattery. He Xiao, a foreign businessman, had no power and no money in the Yao Nation. To be able to collect massive wealth in just one month, wasn't it relying on the Yao King's power?

The Yao King hummed and muttered: "Nothing."

The old palace servant Qiu Long stood behind him, knowing that the monarch was a bit unhappy.

He Xiao indeed relied on the monarch, otherwise he would have been pressed to death by Qingyang with a finger long ago.

Officials spent money to show loyalty to the King, and the King had to reward them properly in return, but He Xiao took 40% of every penny! 40%! The monarch didn't care about him earning a little money, but 40% of 3 billion in huge funds was also a shocking number.

The palace construction in the last two years didn't cost that much money.

Qiu Long whispered: "He Xiao is a smart man, perhaps he will come to report to you tomorrow."

If He Xiao didn't know the joy of sharing, then he wasn't smart enough.

Perhaps the monarch was right, this kid was too greedy.

"You Rongzhi, among the millions he earned, there is your money." The Yao King said to You Rongzhi, "You must supervise him to build Youhu Villa obediently, don't let him play tricks and run away."

"Yes." You Rongzhi also knew the matter was of great importance, so he accepted the task.

After he retired, the Yao King stood up and walked a few laps, and subconsciously looked towards the direction of Yuquan Palace.

This was a habit formed over many years, and it was only when he turned his head that he remembered that the old pear tree was gone.

Abominable! "In the last few days, why hasn't the Qingyang Regent made any moves?"

The old palace servant said carefully: "Indeed not, the Regent has been living in seclusion in Youhu Cottage recently. But her subordinates have been active in Tianshui City."

"Who did they contact?"

"Some went to the homes of princes and ministers, some often went to temples, and some went in and out of the market to buy food and supplies."

The Yao King rubbed his temples. This subtext meant that no useful intelligence had been gathered, after all, the Qingyang Regent couldn't really cultivate her heart in Youhu Cottage from now on.

She must be plotting something in secret.

"Speaking of which, He Xiao's actions in Tianshui City exceeded my original plan." The Yao King summoned He Xiao to the Yao Nation mainly for Qingyang.

Of course, he wouldn't think that He Xiao could do anything to Qingyang. But the idea of Youhu Villa forced the officials to take sides, which immediately beat down the arrogant momentum Qingyang had accumulated before.

The pressure brought by the "Regent" to the entire Yao King Court dropped by a large margin within a few days.

Tianshui City was known for its talents, but in the past year or so, why hadn't his capable people and ministers come up with such an idea?

Qiu Long bowed: "It's all because the King uses people well."

Why does the monarch need to do everything himself? The greatest ability of a superior is to know people and use them well.

The Yao King smiled: "He Xiao's actions cannot exceed the plan anymore."

As a chess piece, He Xiao was excellent... too excellent.

If a chess piece can suddenly make decisions and walk by itself, then what is the chess player for?

The situation was beyond his control, and the Yao King didn't like this feeling.

Youhu Cottage.

"Palace Master."

A light call outside the door, and the lights in the Warm Heart Pavilion lit up.

The red door opened by itself, and Qingyang's voice came out, very plain:

"Come in."

Yuan Xuan walked into the Warm Heart Pavilion and saw Qingyang curled up on the couch, supporting her chin, looking up at the bright moon outside the window.

On the small table, the pink teacup was placed.

After He Yang died, Yuan Xuan was promoted and took over the heavy responsibility of the Left Commander of the Qing Guards.

Qingyang didn't look back: "Is the Red Fortress auction over?"

"It's over, the residences that the one surnamed He brought out tonight were snatched up." Yuan Xuan didn't dare to sell the secret, "The last residence sold for 120,000 taels."

"He really has his ways. A piece of muddy land sold for millions of taels of silver. I underestimated him before." Qingyang smiled faintly, "But if he were really smart, he would know that even if he earned these millions, he wouldn't be able to take them away."

Yuan Xuan replied: "Yes."

Qingyang looked at him. If He Yang were still here, he wouldn't hide it and would ask why.

She had been fighting with people all her life, and didn't want the people around her to be winding and each having their own thoughts.

Alas, what a pity.

"Why do you think?"

Yuan Xuan thought for a while: "Wealth moves people's hearts?"

"His previous moves were beautiful, but if he really knew people's hearts, he should have figured out what kind of temper the Yao King has." Qingyang said leisurely, "Working for someone like the Yao King, heh, be careful of the bird being shot when the bow is hidden."

Fighting for almost a year, she knew the Yao King's temperament too well. If He Xiao only earned a hundred thousand taels, the Yao King could close his eyes and pretend not to know; but He Xiao collected wealth too ruthlessly, suddenly getting millions.

The Yao King himself couldn't get the money of corrupt officials, but the one surnamed He did it easily.

"Yes!" So the Palace Master hasn't made a move recently, just waiting for the natural estrangement between the Yao King and He Xiao? But having said that, the monitoring of Youhu Cottage and the subordinates of these Palace Masters is still as strict as before.

Qingyang asked him: "Anything else?"

"Honglu sent a message." Yuan Xuan reported, "They plan to come to Tianshui City."

Dawdling! Qingyang frowned: "The Yao King's Longevity Ceremony is over, Tianshui City is no longer under martial law, it's a good opportunity for them."

"Yes."

Just then, the gold bell on Qingyang's wrist suddenly moved, ringing without wind.

Her expression changed, and she ordered Yuan Xuan to retreat.

Afterwards, she closed the doors and windows herself, placed a statue on the long table against the wall, and inserted a few sticks of incense.

The smoke floating in mid-air stopped, condensing into a blurry face.

"True Monarch Tongming."

"Three months later, the Imperial Flowing Pulp will be flourishing!" True Monarch Tongming didn't be polite with her.

"I just heard about it too." Qingyang stood with her hands behind her back, "Divine Realm conflict, one True God fell, nine Subordinate Gods fell, and forty-seven Attendant Gods fell. More than eight hundred God-people without divine positions died."

There are only thirty-six True Gods in total, and the fall of one is a major event that shakes the Divine Realm.

"This is the most serious conflict in 150 years, just for a few Punishment Dragon Pillars!" There are only 3,600 Attendant Gods in the Divine Realm, and even fewer Subordinate Gods, only 128. This time, 7% died, "No matter which side fell, it is a loss that the Divine Realm cannot bear!"

Qingyang was expressionless.

This means that the Imperial Flowing Pulp that descends to the world three months later will be the most abundant in 150 years! What a blessing for the world.

"So?"

"Lingxu Saint Venerable is furious and demands that the spiritual energy of the two realms be rebalanced." True Monarch Tongming said, "But in the past year and a half, the Nightmare Qi in the Shining Gold Plain has been too little, and several Main Gods believe that you have achieved almost nothing in the Yao Nation." ===== CHAPTER 1519 =====
