It is conceivable that it is not impossible to chase swifts while riding a tiger Kui.

What's more, the momentum of Hu Kui when he entered the royal court, the tiger's might that looked down on everything and treated everyone as if they were no one, and his huge body with shoulders more than ten feet high, were far beyond his understanding of Hu Kui!

"King of Nanzhao, please stand up!"

As the King of Nanzhao stood up, the ministers who had been kneeling on the ground slowly stood up, staring at the tall and slender figure in disbelief.

Because of Hu Kui's existence, no one doubted Li Shouxi's identity.

What's more, the battle report also reported that Li Shouxi appeared on the battlefield.

It didn't seem unusual for him to return home with Zhao Ling'er at this time. The two of them were an extremely loving couple.

“This time, I came here with the intention of heading to the Southern Wilderness Swamp.

In addition, there are also the resettlement issues of Jiufang City and the subsequent recruitment plan, which need to be discussed by everyone. "

Li Shouxi sat directly on the tiger's head and looked down at everyone.

"The resettlement of Jiufang City? The recruitment plan?"

Everyone looked at Li Shouxi in confusion, and Li Shouxi did not hide much and continued:

“I didn’t want Ling’er to return to Nanzhao back then, because Nanjiang is the destiny of Nuwa’s lineage.

In addition, Nanzhao was a mess at the time. In order to eliminate the conflict, I also proposed a plan for divine kingship to Baiyue to control southern Xinjiang.

Unfortunately, Baiyue is too arrogant and values ​​the power in his hands too much.

Otherwise, before Ling'er comes back, he will have the final say in Nanzhao."

Gulu!

Everyone gasped when they heard this.

The Divine Right of Kings?

Although they didn't know the specific plan, it was just a name and everyone was not stupid, so they naturally understood its meaning.

“Later, Ling’er came back, and I made a plan to fight against Baiyue in the court.

After all, you are in high positions, so you naturally don't want the Moon Worship to dominate, and you don't want your life and death to be completely controlled by the Moon Worship Cult. Therefore, uniting with you to fight against the Moon Worship Cult is an absolutely feasible plan.

In the Central Plains, this is called forming alliances and forming alliances!"

fizz

At this time, the back of the King of Nanzhao was covered in cold sweat.

Because he knew that these were all true, Zhao Linger deliberately told him all this after she came back.

Over the years, the results have been good.

But he had long forgotten that this was Li Shouxi's advice.

Looking back, Li Shouxi had already anticipated everything that was about to happen here.

Is this what the Central Plains calls the Thirty-Six Strategies?

Make plans from thousands of miles away.

“Next, I hope you can assist Ling’er and jointly develop Southern Xinjiang.

After all, if Southern Xinjiang prospers and grows stronger, you can live a more comfortable life; if Southern Xinjiang does not develop well, you will not have a second Baiyue who can resist the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty.

Jiufang City is what I left behind in southern Xinjiang, a base for trade between the south and the north.

All tribes in southern Xinjiang can trade goods in Jiufang City, and then spread them to other places from Jiufang City. Your family can do the same.

After all, you should know how much profit there is in doing business."

Everyone thought about it in their hearts after hearing this, and then their eyes brightened.

This is a good thing!

For example, porcelain, silk, and iron products from the Central Plains can be brought here through trade routes. Then, as long as these goods are distributed from Jiufang City, the profit can be more than tripled.

Wholesale and sale, the price is not the same.

Merchants from the Central Plains also did not want to go deep into southern Xinjiang.

After all, the most terrifying dangers are not people, but poisonous insects, poisonous miasma, and ferocious beasts.

“As for recruiting workers?

I am planning to rebuild the official road between the north and the south, and recruit hundreds of thousands of workers in southern Xinjiang, providing them with three meals a day, both meat and vegetables, and a monthly salary of one or two taels of silver.

You should also know the treatment and promises of the New Tang corvée. These are definitely not mirages given to you by me alone."

"Your Majesty, the Great Tang Emperor, is so gracious. On behalf of the people of Nanzhao, Zhao Tuo would like to thank Your Majesty for his generous gift!"

Zhao Tuo had heard about the treatment of corvée labor in the New Tang Dynasty.

Three million people, building a royal palace and an imperial capital in one year, that is truly amazing speed.

Moreover, the remuneration was just as Li Shouxi had said, which was why the project was completed in one year.

If you give money, the simple people will naturally work hard for you.

It is impossible to expect a horse to run without giving it grass to eat.

"In that case, I will discuss the specific matters with you. Afterwards, I will write a letter myself and you will hand it over to the parties."

"Your Majesty, please!"

At this time, the officials in southern Xinjiang were extremely enthusiastic.

After all, this is a good thing.

Zhao Linger's governance of the country, the Jiufang City trading point, and the construction of official roads by 100,000 corvées are all absolutely major events.

But as long as Zhao Linger is there, basically nothing will happen to Nanzhao, or it will be assassinated by the Tang Dynasty, because they are a family.

As for the King's Choice?

Zhao Linger, the saint of Nuwa's lineage, may not be suitable, but they can completely recommend Zhao Linger's two princesses and princes in the Tang Dynasty to take the position.

It was considered high for them to marry a prince of the Tang Dynasty to serve as the King of Nanzhao.

Thinking of this, everyone became even more enthusiastic.

This is definitely a good thing.

The better Nanzhao developed, the more benefits they would naturally get, and they could even be sent as envoys to the Tang Dynasty and become Tang citizens.

In their eyes, the Tang Dynasty is the superior country and the Celestial Empire!

Not to mention anything else, just based on the battle reports from the front line, 50,000 Tang Dynasty soldiers can sweep across Nanzhao.

However, the Tang Dynasty had a real million soldiers, and the twelve Tiance generals were all ninth-rank masters of martial arts, comparable to the super masters of the Moon Worshiping Sect, and they all had one - Tiandao Song Que.

He is a super master right at their doorstep in southern Xinjiang, the Lingnan Song clan.

In the next three days, Li Shouxi discussed cooperation matters with the King of Nanzhao while reading the information about the Southern Wilderness left by Baiyue.

After all, in addition to the one thousand soldiers, the trading base also needs the intervention of other forces in southern Xinjiang.

The recruitment of corvée labor also required the intervention of the King of Nanzhao.

These are not just 100,000 people from the Central Plains. Recruiting 100,000 people in southern Xinjiang is not a small number.

Even the entire main force of the Moon Worshiping Cult only has 150,000 soldiers.

The peasant uprising in the thirteen continents of the empire was not a scale of hundreds of thousands of people.

Huang Chao gathered millions of people in a short period of time.

Chapter 404: First Visit to the Southern Wilderness

The vast swamps in the southern wilderness are boundless.

Even if you go straight south along the sea area of ​​southern Xinjiang, there is no end in the end.

At least Li Shouxi had never heard of a ship that could bypass the Nanhuang Swamp. Even in the Central Plains, there were very few mysterious legends about the Nanhuang Swamp.

After all, Southern Xinjiang is a forbidden area for ordinary people in the Central Plains, not to mention the Nanhuang Swamp in the south of Southern Xinjiang.

Li Shouxi found many records about the Southern Wilderness Swamp in the secret room of Baiyue, which were not originally found in the Central Plains.

So after reading it, Li Shouxi sealed the collection and had it sent to the imperial court.

In this regard, the King of Nanzhao had no intention at all.

After all, it is just a bunch of ancient books about the Southern Wilderness Swamp. That place is also an extremely dangerous forbidden area for ordinary people in Southern Xinjiang.

Li Shouxi can go because he can kill the Moon Worshiper's forces in one move.

There is also the terrifying monster Hu Kui. When a tiger enters the mountains and forests, it is naturally the king of beasts!

Zhao Linger is also a top master.

Especially because of Zhao Linger's blood, some ferocious beasts are still very friendly to Zhao Linger.

Unless it is a particularly vicious being!

After leaving the capital of Nanzhao, Li Shouxi headed straight for the Nanhuang Marsh.

With the classics collected by Baiyue, Li Shouxi can avoid many unnecessary traps.

Zhao Linger is also a dual-realm grandmaster and has the bloodline of Nuwa. She can restrain some ferocious beasts to a certain extent, and she is also a nutrient for some ferocious beasts.

In addition, there are thunder bombs made of white phosphorus.

This is Li Shouxi's trump card to deal with those powerful monsters.

The most terrifying thing about white phosphorus is not its toxicity, but its burning properties. With a temperature of over a thousand degrees, it cannot be extinguished by water and will burn as long as the flame is close to it. It can directly burn through the skin, muscles, and even bones, and any terrifying defense is no exception.

After all, no matter how strong the scale armor defense is, it is not truly as strong as King Kong.

What's more, the huge damage caused by the burning process is far greater than that of ordinary poisons.

Therefore, it is easy to use this thing to deal with the powerful monsters inside, or even the monsters in the water.

In addition, there are some beef jerky, candied fruit, compressed food

Soon, Hu Kui carried the two people to a continuous mountain range shrouded in clouds and mist.

This is a natural barrier, and there are no mountain strongholds within ten miles around.

Even if any animal escapes from this area, it will not go too deep or stay too long.

“My dear, there are a hundred thousand mountains ahead.

Behind the Hundred Thousand Mountains is the Southern Wilderness Swamp, the real forbidden area of ​​the Miao Territory. Even a ninth-rank master would not dare to go a hundred miles deep into it."

Zhao Linger told the news she knew, and she also knew that since Li Shouxi was going in, it must not be just a simple stroll.

Fortunately, she was extremely confident in Li Shouxi's strength, not to mention that Hu Kui was also a top-level ferocious beast.

"Take it with you. This is a Youlan silk scarf made by Rong'er. It can cure all kinds of poisons."

Li Shouxi knew the risks in the forbidden area. This Youlan silk scarf was not a simple silk scarf, but a treasure woven from natural silkworm silk, soaked and infected with various strange medicines. Its effect was far better than the previous Youlan silk scarf.

This was configured by Li Shouxi to prevent the poison inside.

"Thank you husband!"

The fragrance of exotic flowers and plants and the cool touch of natural silk made Zhao Linger reveal a touching smile.

The hazy beauty of the upturned red lips that was faintly visible under the silk scarf was so beautiful that even Li Shouxi couldn't help but bend over to savor it.

After the two of them had been getting bored for a while, Li Shouxi let Hu Kui enter the Shiwan Mountains.

Although the lush and dense bushes, the tall and vigorous ancient trees that blocked out the sun, and the rugged mountain roads seemed to be very dangerous, but with the roar of Hu Kui, Li Shouxi basically did not see any danger.

What's more, Li Shouxi's perception is such that he can detect any disturbance.

Moreover, all the clothes worn by Li Shouxi were brocade clothes woven with natural silk, even the colorful feather skirt worn by Zhao Linger was no exception.

"Roar!"

Suddenly Hu Kui stopped and stared ahead vigilantly with his tiger eyes.

Li Shouxi also looked around. He didn't notice any danger within a hundred feet, but seeing Hu Kui's current state, Li Shouxi couldn't help but be curious.

But soon, Li Shouxi noticed something and smiled slightly.
