Desjarda often toasted to Helian carefully, and they had a good time talking to each other.
It was not only because Helian was cautious of the strength of his own clan, but also because of the closer relationship he had with Da Xi.
He wanted to let West Qiang continue expanding their territory, but this didn"t just depend on the power of West Qiang"s own country, but also on Da Xi"s att.i.tude.
To put it simply, other small countries like the shepherds of Da Xi were sheep.
The shepherd would not let the sheep fall off one at a time, but he would let the sheep attack each other.
It doesn"t matter how thin the sheep are, it doesn"t matter how they fight, but don"t kill them.
If West Qiang wanted to develop, they couldn"t do so from the west.
Although there are three thousand Buddhist kingdoms in the Western Regions, there are many small nations.
Moreover, the Buddhist Sect basically does not interfere in the wars between nations, so the national extermination is not a rare event.
However, West Qiang was different …
West Qiang is not the supreme power of the G.o.ds.
In the three thousand Buddhist kingdoms of the Western Regions, the Buddha occupied a higher position than the monarch.
Not only the Buddha, but the most powerful monks of the Buddhist sect in all the countries also had more power than the monarchs.
But Dechyadah did not want this to happen in the West. He introduced Buddhism, but he would never let divine power prevail over his imperial power.
Buddha was introduced because in the West it was necessary to do so or else it would be difficult to deal with other countries.
However, if he wanted to move towards the west, the Buddhist Sect would definitely intervene.
He would not allow the Buddhist Sect to be above him, and the Buddhist Sect would certainly not allow such a state to reign supreme in the west.
Therefore, if the West Qiang wanted to continue developing, the only direction would be to the east.
However, if it was to the east, he had to get permission from Da Xi.
Dehayada looked at the corona outside and smiled, ""It has already been at least an hour. I wonder how much money the protector of the Yan Country has earned.""
He hastily smiled and said, ""No matter how much money he earns, I will accompany him.""
Dehayada laughed heartily. ""Of course. With the Helian family"s strength, it wouldn"t be difficult for them to destroy the Yan Country.""
""I heard that the Yan Kingdom is in a complete mess right now. The empress dowager has been killed and a ten-year-old child has become the King of Yan. The Yan Kingdom isn"t that far from the end of the country.""
He Lian frowned carefully. ""Is the matter of the Yan Country related to this protector?""
Because he had always wanted to advance to the east, De Jiada knew about the various countries of Yan Zhao.
He had helped the Mu Clan defeat Empress Dowager Su and elected the Mu Clan"s sole legitimate successor.
""Although the Yan Country is plagued with external and internal troubles, it is still a good thing for the Yan Country if things calm down.""
He sighed. ""So, I have some appreciation for this person.""
The country of Yan has eroded, and the struggle is the knife that gouged out the rotten meat.
""I don"t know why he came west. After all, at this crucial time, it is the most important thing for him to stay in Yan Country.""
Helian Lie was a little curious. ""Such a person should have great talent. Why is he so ignorant of his affairs?""
""I have befriended him because I think he is a talent,"" he said.
It was not easy to persevere in such a situation.
""If such a person can be used by me, I naturally won"t treat him unfairly.""
He hurriedly moved closer to him and said, ""I"m afraid that the King"s intention is not to drink wine, right?""
If the King were to head east, the first person he would move against would be the State of Zhao.
""Yan Guo is an ally of Zhao. If nothing goes wrong and the country of Zhao is in danger, Yan Guo will definitely give its full support.""
""However, if the King is able to win over the Kingdom of Zhao, then when the Qiang attacks the State of Zhao, they only need to make the State of Yan stand still. Then, the State of Zhao will lose its reinforcements, and the King will take the State of Zhao in one go …""
""Am I right?""
Dehayada didn"t feel embarra.s.sed after being pointed out the reason. He laughed out loud, ""Therefore, I think it would be best if Young Master Helian is kind enough to give him a few people.""
Helian looked into De Jiada"s eyes and said seriously, ""But I don"t want to.""
He straightened up. ""Do you know why I can just say I don"t want to?""
Because I"m not afraid of you.
Whether you want to go east or not isn"t up to you, it"s Da Xi.
Do you think that if the Helian Family stood up against them, the Sacred Emperor would make things difficult for the Helian Family because of you? ""
De Jiada"s expression immediately became somewhat unsightly. ""Young Master Helian, it seems rather impolite of you to say something like that.""
Helian laughed. ""Polite?""
Do I need it?
I respect you as a king because this is your home.
""Of course, you can also show off your might as a master, but you must see how careful I am.""
He stood up and said, ""Time"s up. I"d like to see how much money that An He can earn.""
De Hjada stood up and said, ""Does Young Master Helian think that if you die in the Big Qiang, the Da Xi will fight against our Big Qiang because of you?""
Helian hurriedly shook his head and said carefully, ""Idiot, of course Da Xi will fight against you.""
If you don"t tell me that I am the eldest son of the Helian family, I will inherit the Helian family in the future.
Even if I"m just an insignificant n.o.body, if you kill me, the Divine Emperor will order a war, because in the eyes of the Divine Emperor, it doesn"t matter if we have enough weight. The important thing is, we can"t lose face for Da Xi.
Not to mention...
""Even if Da Xi doesn"t send out troops, my family will fight for me until all of my family members die, or you die.""
The expression on De Jiada"s face kept changing. In the end, he did not flare up.
After a moment, he laughed out loud: ""Hahahaha, it"s just a joke. Why must Young Master Helian take it seriously?""
""I"ve known you for a long time and made some harmless jokes.""
Helian hurriedly shook his head carefully. ""No, no, no. I"m not friends with you at first sight. I"m not in the mood to joke with you.""
I still say that today"s matter is a matter for me and An An. No one is allowed to interfere.
If anyone from outside comes and s.n.a.t.c.hes those female disciples from me, I will kill one of them.
""No matter who it is, aside from fighting for peace, whoever kills the other party will be the one to do it.""
""Oh.""
Of course, I can also be killed, but as long as I die in your country, I promise that your country will have your corpse buried thousands of miles away after I die.
He waved his hand and said, ""Seal the gates to the palace for King Qiang, only An An An can fight for them to enter.""
His subordinates all dispersed, then stood shoulder to shoulder at the entrance of the imperial palace.
Those who had been waiting to partic.i.p.ate in the auction were all stopped, and the scene instantly turned chaotic.
De Jiada"s expression was extremely ugly to behold, but he actually tolerated it. ""Subordinate, tell us that the auction will be postponed to a later date.""
All of his generals were so angry that their necks had become thick. Some of them couldn"t help but want to draw their sabers.
But Dehayada held back, and they knew it.
It was the first time that someone had bullied the people in the palace.
Additionally, the one being bullied included was King Qiang.
The karmic force of the general moved in close to Desjardins ear and said, ""But what about the people outside?
""If they come again tomorrow, without the female disciples of the Heaven Hao Palace, they will mostly be from the Da Xi family. If they start a ruckus, it won"t be good for them to stop.""
""What are you afraid of?""
They don"t know how many female disciples of the Heaven"s Primordial Palace are in my hands.
Since the Helian Clan"s kid bought them today, we"ll just have to take quite a few silver and spirit stones.
The Holy Emperor of the Great Xi actually promised that he would do us a meritorious service by capturing the traitors. That would be a reward from the Da Xi …
Could it be that the Helian family"s kid dared to not pay?
""Tonight, go catch some young and beautiful Chinese women and continue selling them tomorrow.""
Karmic Scholar laughed, ""Your majesty is wise after all.""
As he spoke, the noisy crowd parted to make a path for themselves. Then, they saw a horse-drawn carriage coming in from the outside. The carriages stretched out into the distance, with no end in sight.
The people driving the carriage seemed to be locals, so it should be their first time entering the imperial palace, so they were all terrified.
After a rough count, there were at least seventy or eighty carriages.
An Zeng and Du were sitting in the front of a carriage. Du was waving a small flag and looked very happy.
When these seventy or eighty carts entered, the scene became even more chaotic.
Some people wanted to sneak in, but they were beaten up by the Helian Family until they looked for their teeth on the ground.
The Helian Clan was truly domineering. No matter who it was, as long as they wanted to come in, they would beat them up.
The people outside began to get irritable. If there weren"t those sinister and terrifying Ghost Guards standing there, it was likely that even the local families of West Qiang would start quarreling with them.
After the carriage entered, the gates of the palace creaked shut again.
Helian carefully walked over with his hands clasped behind his back. He looked at An Zeng and the carriages. ""I"m impressed. It seems that these carriages are pulling gold and silver right?""
An Zaidao shrugged his shoulders. ""Your luck is pretty good.""
""Let"s begin. I"d like to see how much money you"ve made.""
""My King, I don"t think the auction will be held today. Leave everyone to me.""
""Although I believe that the spirit stones and gold and silver that young master Helian has brought with him are definitely not small, but he is still not qualified to compete with me.""
He Lian was careful not to let An Xin get too worked up. He said, ""Today, you let me experience what it means to boast shamelessly.""
An Xuan asked, ""My King, how many female disciples are there in Skywater Palace?""
""More than three hundred.""
""How much?""
""Ugh …""
De Jiada looked at him carefully. ""This …""
""You mean the total?""
Helian hurriedly said carefully, ""It"s also good to say the total. I have no interest in s.n.a.t.c.hing them one by one. I"m wasting my time.""
""Let me put it this way. No matter how much An Zaiyue struggles, I will still be 30% more than him.""
An Zaiyue smiled brightly. ""Then you have to be careful.""
He waved his hand. ""Open the car!""
The coachmen opened the doors of the carriages, and there were huge chunks of gold ore inside!
Seventy or eighty carts, all of them that sort of thing.
Although gold ores couldn"t compare to gold, there were too many of them.
""Is that all?""
He Lian could not help but laugh out loud: ""These seventy to eighty carriages are only worth one gold grade spirit stone.""
Do you really think that I can"t even take out a single gold grade spirit stone? ""
An Zeng shook his head, ""I just went out and found a gold mine under the sand in about an hour.""
""This is only to prove that I have found the gold mine. If you hand all of the Heavenly Hao Palace"s female disciples over to me, I will tell you the location of the gold mine.""
""That"s the gold mine of my Big Qiang!""
""I have arranged some things in it. If the king does not hand him over to me, then I will destroy the entrance to the gold mine.""
It should be a gold mine that had been excavated a long time ago. However, due to some unknown change, if the entrance were to be destroyed, even the most powerful of cultivators would not be able to enter.
I reckon the gold is enough to double the king"s army. ""
The expression on De Jiada"s face kept changing. ""An Zou, you"re going too far.""
An Zhan rubbed his nose and said, ""If it weren"t for me, you wouldn"t have been able to find that gold mine.""
""A friend of mine stayed at the entrance. If I don"t leave with all of the female disciples within two hours, then he will seal the gold mine.""
He turned to look at Helian Lie and asked carefully, ""I have brought a gold mine, how about you?""
Helian"s cautious face instantly turned the color of a pig"s liver."
