Chapter 421 An act of subjugation

"So you are saying that Duke Netherworld is cheating on you?" Guo Kai turned to Duke Netherworld with a cold eyebrow.

"Ha, I didn't say that, I was just seeking truth from facts." Zhu Tianhao sneered, not hiding his disgust for Guo Kai in his words.

In other words, all the important ministers loyal to the Star Luo Empire hated Guo Kai.

What kind of person is Guo Kai? He is a flatterer, a treacherous and greedy person. He has no cultivation, neither learning nor skills, relying on the favor of Emperor Dai Tianfeng, taking bribes and perverting the law, and doing evil.

But he also knows Yin people very well, and those who have offended him are rarely able to escape his persecution.

The reason why Zhu Tianhao dared not to throw away Guo Kai's face was that in addition to the generations of marriages between the Zhu family and the Dai family, there was also a daughter who worshiped Moon God Douluo, the vice president of the Soul Master Guild, as his disciple. It can be said that he was born to be invincible. Look down on these idiots.

Guo Kaiwaner said, "At this time, Yi'er, for such a big thing as army expansion, money and food must be prepared in advance. Duke Netherworld can send people to Tiandou Empire to inquire. If what Kai said is true, Duke Netherworld only needs to release half of the military power." Just hand over your majesty's new promotion to come. On the contrary, I am willing to resign from the position of prime minister and come to my door one day to apologize."

"What did you say?" Zhu Tianhao was furious. Once he had acquired military power, if he wanted to take it back, he would have to cut his flesh with a knife.

Although Dai Tianfeng has now recovered most of his military power and handed it over to his cronies, his Netherworld Legion's one hundred thousand troops are the foundation for his livelihood and have been passed down from his ancestors.

No matter what, he didn't want to deliver it.

Of course, if Dai Tianfeng forced him, it would be difficult to say.

Without him resisting, the Xingluo Empire would be in chaos first, because in addition to the Zhu family, there were several other families that controlled the military.

"Okay, Prime Minister, Duke of Netherworld, there is no need to argue anymore. Don't cause chaos on your own just because of a trivial matter. And Duke of Netherworld, the Netherworld Legion will always be led by the Zhu family, so you can rest assured."

Dai Tianfeng comforted the two of them.

"No!" Guo Kai responded respectfully and stood back at the front of the civil servant row.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhu Tianhao bowed slightly and saluted, but he was already on guard. Could it be that Guo Kai's move was authorized by His Majesty?

Dai Tianfeng continued: "Now that Tian Dou is expanding its army, it is intended to plot against our Star Luo Empire. I wonder if you have any good ideas?"

After hearing this, a minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Lao Chen has heard about the expansion of the Tiandou Empire's army. The old minister feels that the Tiandou Empire's move may not be aimed at our Xingluo Empire, but Wuhun Palace. I don't know. Your Majesty, do you still remember the commotion in Shrek Academy some time ago?"

"Isn't it just that he was seized by Wuhun Palace for harboring the wanted criminal Zhao Wuji? Then Zhao Wuji did a lot of evil in the realm of our Star Luo Empire in the early years, and he was not unjustly accused."

Dai Tianfeng said impatiently.

"The key is this. Shrek is in the Balak Kingdom, and the one who seized Shrek was also the Balak royal family, but they were ordered by the Wuhun Palace. It can be seen that the Wuhun Palace has reached out to the Tiandou Empire. It is a subordinate kingdom, so it is not difficult to understand that the Tiandou Empire is busy expanding its army to defend against the Wuhun Palace."

The minister expressed his guess.

Dai Tianfeng stood up and paced back and forth in the court hall. After a while, he sat down again, nodded slightly and said: "Ai Qing is right, but our Star Luo Empire cannot expect the enemy to act as we imagined. Is the Yitian Dou Empire trying to be mysterious?"

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. It is the veteran who lacked consideration." After hearing this, the minister also felt that it was reasonable.

It was just Dai Tianfeng's next words that shocked him, "I am determined to start raising arms and food and pay from now on, and expand the army to three million in two years. Prime Minister, I will leave all this to you, whether it is raising taxes or not , just pay taxes in advance as you mentioned to me last time. I only care about the results and cannot bear the process. Funds for military expansion must be raised within two years."

"Opening a meeting will fulfill the mission." Guo Kai agreed without giving any chance to others to object.

Everyone, including Zhu Tianhao, was stunned. When the minister heard that Dai Tianfeng wanted to expand the army and asked Guo Kai to raise funds, his eyes darkened. He felt dizzy and his mind went blank.

Dai Tianfeng was so wise in his mind before, but now he is so stupid, and he casually leaves such important matters to a villain like Guo Kai. This is the rhythm of the country's destruction!

The new location of Shrek Academy.

Late at night, a one-armed black figure sneaked into Tang San's room.

"Who is it?" Tang San was immediately frightened. When he saw the person clearly, his eyes flashed with surprise, "Dad, didn't you follow Chang Gongmiao? Why are you back so early?"

Since losing his arm, Tang Hao has never left Tang San again, and has been following him secretly from a distance.

In order to shock Tang Hao to the outside world, Tang San didn't tell anyone about this matter.

After Chang Gongmiao suddenly asked to go back home during the day, Tang San sensed something was wrong. Shortly after Chang Gongmiao left, he found his father and asked him to follow Chang Gongmiao secretly, wanting to see this sudden appearance. Whatever the guy who comes out wants to do, it's best to kill him quietly.

Now seeing Tang Hao come back so early and with a very happy look on his face, I almost asked Tang Hao if he had succeeded.

"As long as that guy Mo Crow is here, once Chang Gongmiao dies, Mo Crow will push him on us regardless of whether we move our hands or not. I didn't kill him. But this time there is an unexpected surprise."

Tang Hao said, taking out the five fairy grasses he stole from Chang Gongmiao.

"The strange velvet blue chrysanthemum, narcissus jade muscle and bone, eight-petal fairy orchid, cockscomb phoenix sunflower, and Qiluo tulip are actually fairy grass, and there are five of them. Oh my God, Dad, where did you get these?"

Looking at the familiar fairy grass in front of him, Tang San's breathing suddenly accelerated, and the excitement and joy on his face was almost beyond words.

Tang Hao smiled and said: "Haha, I got it from Chang Gongmiao. That kid didn't leave Tiandou City at all. Instead, he found a hotel to secretly check in and refine the fairy grass. When I went there, he had already taken two doses. The plant looks a bit like the Star Anise Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot Jiaoshu you told me about."

"Damn it, how dare he, those two fairy grasses should obviously belong to me." The smile on Tang San's face froze, and he instantly became cold, and his eyes were about to burst.

Tang Hao continued: "Since you told me that Mo Ya didn't recognize Xiao Wu's identity as a transformed soul beast after seeing him, I noticed something was wrong. At first, I thought it was Mo Ya who did it on purpose. But after I personally checked it, I found that I couldn’t see through Xiao Wu’s true identity. As expected, there is some treasure on Xiao Wu’s body that can cover up the soul beast’s aura. Xiao San, I hope you can be mentally prepared.”
