"All the civil and military officials of Tianshui City have surrendered to me, and all the elite soldiers and generals have also submitted to me." Bai Tan said seriously, "I hope that Chongwu can also make the right choice."
Thanks to his thunderous methods, those who refused to obey in Tianshui City either fled or died.
Those who surrender to him first will be immediately given important positions.
He then added: "Zhongwu is not a Yao person after all, and now he is leading Yao soldiers. He can't stand on his own here."
Chongwu is a Pisha native, an outsider, and his subordinates are not from the Pisha army. He has no qualifications or name to form his own faction within the Yao Kingdom!
Now that Yao Ting was finished, why was he still staying? Chongwu's situation was different from Luodian's. His current situation in Yao State was actually very embarrassing.
"You want him to be attached to you?" Qingyang laughed, "Do you know why he brought his troops back to the capital?"
Bai Tan pursed his lips.
Qingyang gave the answer for him: "Serve the king."
General Chongwu had been sent to the northern border to lead the troops for only three months, and he had not yet established absolute authority in the minds of the northern border soldiers. This was very different from veteran generals such as Xue Zongwu.
When Luodian launched a massive attack on the border, his army was able to return without a fight because he raised the banner of "serving the king".
If he dared to join the murderer who killed King Yao, wouldn't his army be in chaos?
"I know. I just want him to turn north and fight against Luodian!" Bai Tan took a deep breath, "Resisting foreign aggression, there shouldn't be any problem with that, right?"
Bai Tan killed King Yao and occupied Tianshui, causing unprecedented chaos in Yao State. Even if Chongwu led the troops to attack, he would not be sure of winning, but would instead make things difficult for others.
In this case, it is not a bad option for Chongwu to start maneuvering within the territory of Yao State and then attack Luodian to recover the lost territory for Yao State.
This guy is quite considerate. Qingyang broke off a branch casually.
It looks very thick, but it is actually very brittle and will make a "snap" sound when you fold it lightly.
But the new snow on the branches was not shaken off at all.
"By the way, Lord Bai came to my Youhu Cottage. Why did he bring so many people with him?"
Her residence was the highest on the island, and she was sitting under a tree, so she could see that Bai Tan had brought an entire army, at least 500 strong, with elite soldiers and good armor. From her angle, the swords and spears were cold and reflected, and the main entrances and exits of Youhu Cottage were all controlled.
Bai Tan sighed, "The situation is not stable today. I encountered an assassination attempt when I went out this morning, so I had to increase the number of guards. I was only worried about my own life, but I made the Palace Master laugh at me."
The situation is so chaotic. At this moment, there are countless people in Tianshui City who hate him as the culprit. Shouldn't he be careful?
"I thought Lord Bai wanted me to speak carefully." Qingyang smiled, "I am seriously injured, my men are all dead, and now I am just an old woman who can be manipulated by others."
The four words "at the mercy of others" were emphasized.
"I dare not, I absolutely dare not, Old Bai is really afraid!" Bai Tan shook his hands like wave drums, and the expression on his face was indeed very terrified, "My current status and achievements were given by the gods and the palace master, how dare I have the idea of disrespecting the palace master?"
He was furious: "Why did that old fellow Yao Wang commit crimes against so many countries? First, he offended the goddess, and second, he opposed the Palace Master everywhere! With him as a lesson, I have only twelve points of respect and twelve points of gratitude for the Palace Master!"
This old woman is really outrageous. She is so sharp even after being seriously injured!
Bai Tan immediately turned around and ordered, "Come on, present it!"
Three carriages slowly approached, each carrying three large copper-inlaid chests. Whatever was inside, the chests themselves were magnificent, with a taotie carved on the interlocking rings.
"Palace Master, this is a small gift from Bai, please accept it!"
Qingyang glanced at Yuan Xuan, who immediately stepped forward and casually opened two boxes, one large and one small.
Precious light shot up into the sky, so dazzling that people around wanted to close their eyes.
One box contained gold, plain gold, without even any extra styles. It was just pure gold bricks, each of which was enough to kill a person. They were stacked one on top of the other with no gaps between them.
The contents of the other small box were even simpler, with a dozen pieces of high-quality black crystal as the base, and a short brass staff on top. The top of the staff was inlaid with four animal head carvings, each holding a treasure in its mouth.
"It is a pity that your staff was damaged during the battle against the Thousand Illusions Master. This is a treasure hidden in the Yao Palace. It is the Huangtian Staff, the life weapon of the ancient Huangtian Immortal. It is said to have many magical uses. I think only this staff is worthy of the Palace Master's great magical power!"
Qingyang didn't even look at the red crystal in the box. He picked up the Huangtian Staff and shook it twice. The snake head on the staff suddenly moved and crawled out of the staff. The whole golden snake circled the staff twice, pointed its head at Bai Tan and spit out its tongue. The ruby snake eyes revealed an evil light.
"Nice staff." Qingyang praised softly, "Well maintained too."
Three thousand years have passed since ancient times, and it takes a lot of effort to preserve the immortal treasure in such good condition.
Time, energy, and a huge amount of money. As a treasure of Yao Palace, the value of this staff is inestimable.
Bai Tan saw her brows relax, and he knew that he had passed this test, and he felt relieved. He knew that Beijia's Qing Palace collected rare treasures from all over the world, and the old palace master had an absurdly high standard, so how could he be interested in ordinary good things?
Needless to say, the other boxes are filled with rare treasures.
Bai Tan took over the Yao Palace yesterday, and when he casually opened the Yao King's treasury, he was so frightened that he almost took two steps back.
The six large warehouses were packed to the brim, and the doors could barely be closed.
The glittering jewels and precious stones were so dazzling that even Bai Tan, who was used to big scenes, was stunned. He cursed the old man Yao Wang for competing with the country for profits and plundering the people's wealth.
The treasury was only used by the king and the court. Thinking about the past years, the king always complained that the treasury was empty and the treasury was tight, calling on his ministers to live frugally and asking officials and businessmen to find ways to make money, Bai Tan felt that his death was not unjust.
Fortunately, the treasures that King Yao had collected throughout his life now belonged to Bai Tan. The treasures he gave to Qingyang were just a generous gift from King Yao.
Qingyang lowered his hand, and the Huang Tian Staff was put into the ring, and his expression relaxed.
She didn't lack these treasures or wealth, but the fact that Bai Tan gave her such a generous gift represented his respect for her.
"Okay, then you and Chongwu can meet at my Youhu Cottage."
Bai Tan was relieved that she was willing to act as the middleman. He hesitated for a moment and asked again:
"I went to ask Liang Zhushi about this earlier. He told me that the goddess does not plan to hold a blessing ceremony in Tianshui City in the short term."
Every once in a while, the gods would bestow their grace on Tianshui City, allowing those who received the blessing to have sharp eyes and ears, and all their hidden diseases would be cured. On the one hand, this demonstrated the power of the gods, and on the other hand, it could win people's hearts.
Of course, the blessing ceremony is usually not performed by Miaozhan Tian himself, but by his subordinate gods.
