Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

After the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, the princes of the world were enfeoffed, with a total of more than 100 large and small vassal states.

The titles of various princes include duke, marquis, uncle, son and male, a total of five levels.

The king of the Lu Kingdom was a count, and the Sui Kingdom was a marquis. Among the various princes, they were considered relatively scumbags.

Moreover, the two small countries of Lu and Sui were located on the edge of the Zhou Dynasty and had almost been ignored by the Central Plains people.

If we hadn't mentioned it deliberately, everyone would have almost forgotten that there are still two vassal states.

Recently, citizens in the Central Plains region, especially in the metropolitan cities, suddenly heard many people talking about these two small countries.

It is said that these two small countries have been invaded by demons. In a few months, the demons will send large armies to occupy these two small countries.

This makes many Central Plains people even more puzzled.

"Didn't the demons be wiped out by King Ping ten thousand years ago?"

"Where are Sui and Lu?"

"These monsters are so bold that they dare to come out and cause trouble if they don't hide well."

"..."

As the center of the Zhou Dynasty, Dadu City, where everyone lived at the feet of the emperor, usually liked to pay attention to gossip news from various places.

Although they didn't know where Lu and Sui were, the news of the demon's massive attack still filled them with indignation.

In the center of the capital city, there is a group of majestic and towering buildings. This is the highest point of power of the Great Zhou Dynasty - the Great Zhou Palace.

At this moment, in a majestic and magnificent hall of the royal palace, the young King Zhou is sitting at the top, with his civil and military officials standing in the east and west below.

A civil servant walked out of the class and bowed as usual:

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Wu sent an envoy yesterday to pay tribute to 30 thousand-year-old elixirs and 100 third-level spiritual stones. Please ask my king to grant the land of Yue Kingdom."

"Hmph! The Wu Kingdom has a good plan. He disobeyed the king's orders and annexed the Jushan Kingdom without permission. Now he only wants to be canonized by your majesty by giving him only a small amount of wealth."

A military general wearing armor and a fleshy face muttered dissatisfiedly.

"General Meng, what can you do if you are dissatisfied? This is the case in all countries now. If you have the ability, you should raise troops to fight!" Another civil servant mocked.

The King of Zhou, who was sitting at the top, looked solemn, but he was very unhappy in his heart. Now the princes from all walks of life disrespected the royal family and attacked each other. They did not pay attention to him as a king at all.

If you win a battle, it's like paying tribute to some property and asking him to be canonized.

But now that the power of the royal family has declined, it no longer has enough power to restrain these princes.

The young King Zhou is gritting his teeth now, trying to quietly accumulate strength and prepare to make a comeback, so that he can look good to these princes when the time comes.

It's just that developing strength requires a lot of money and cannot be separated from resources. Now countries no longer pay tribute, or they only pay a small amount of symbolic tribute.

Although the royal family also has some resources, it is already a bit stretched to maintain the current operation of the court.

So he could only accept small gifts from various places in humiliation, and earn as much as he could. He couldn't even give away money for the sake of dignity.

We can only wait until we have strength in the future to regain our dignity.

"The Solitary King has agreed to this matter. Yan Deng, you draft a canonization document and issue it tomorrow.

Dear friends, do you have anything else to do? "

"Your Majesty, there is news recently that the demons of the Western Wilderness are going to attack Lu and Sui in a large scale. What should the dynasty do?"

In fact, everyone present had heard about this news, but no one had mentioned it in the court yet. They all pretended not to know, but now it was revealed by an ignorant person.

King Zhou had naturally heard of this matter, but the royal family had limited power and had to deal with various internal intrigues, so it was hard to spare.

As for the little bit of power he had accumulated secretly, it was not suitable to reveal it now.

The major princes are attacking each other, and they do not take him seriously because he is weak and unable to restrain the princes.

Similarly, the royal family has always been able to stay out of the situation and remain unharmed because of his weakness.

If the royal family is weak, it will not pose a threat to everyone. There is no need to care about the existence of the royal family, just serve as a mascot.

Anyone who openly attacks the royal family will lose his reputation and become an excuse for others to attack him.

But if you are not willing to be a mascot, then it is difficult to say. After all, no one likes to have a king looking after them all day long.

"This matter is of great importance. Do you have any opinions?"

"Your Majesty, please allocate 2,000 flying cavalry. I will definitely lead the troops to wipe out the demon army." It was the Mongolian general who spoke.

"The royal family has a total of 5,000 flying cavalry troops. General Meng will take away 2,000 with just one mouthful. Who will be responsible for the safety of the royal family?"

The so-called flying cavalry army is the elite force of the royal family.

All the soldiers in the Flying Cavalry Army must have at least Foundation Establishment Cultivation, the Centurion in the army must have at least the Golden Core, and the Thousand Commander must have at least the Nascent Soul.

This is the military power in the hands of a declining royal family.

As for the strength of the major princes in the Central Plains, it is unimaginable for a borderland like Lu State.

"Also, have you figured out how many troops there are in the demon army? How dare you shout to wipe out the demon army!"

Civil servants and generals have never dealt with each other very well. They don't like each other. Whenever they find an opportunity, they always have to exchange a few words to feel happy.

However, the civil servants in the Zhou Dynasty were also masters of cultivation, but they did not lead troops and were only engaged in civilian work.

"The demons were expelled from the Central Plains ten thousand years ago and are hiding in a barren land like the Western Wilderness. How powerful can they be? The 2000 Flying Cavalry already looks up to them."

In the eyes of the Central Plains forces, the fighting power of the demons and the Sui and Lu kingdoms was similar to that of children playing house. Even a declining royal family had the confidence to win.

"The journey to the Sui Kingdom is long and the consumption along the way is huge. Now the treasury is empty and it is not worth sending troops for the royal family."

The civil servants and generals in the palace each had their own opinions and refused to give in to each other. They argued for a long time with no result.

"This matter is of great importance, and the current situation is unclear. We will discuss it later, and the court will be dismissed today.

Master, please stay for a while! "

Now that King Zhou had ordered the court to disperse, all the civil and military officials bowed and retreated, leaving only an old man with a white beard walking into a small hall under the guidance of a waiter.

There are tables and chairs in the small hall, and the King of Zhou and the old man with a white beard sit opposite each other.

"What do you think of the invasion of demons?"

"I think we can send troops!"

The white-bearded old man was the grand master of the current dynasty, his name was Min Yu, and his cultivation had already reached the state of becoming a god. He was considered an important minister of the Zhou royal family.

"Oh! I would like to hear the details."

King Zhou knew that since the grand master said so, there must be a feasible reason.

"The royal family can send troops, but not now."

Taishi Min stroked his long beard and said: "If the royal family sends troops now, it will be nothing but a waste of effort and nothing will be gained.

You can wait until Sui and Lu are completely defeated..."
