I, who only wanted to be a foolish king, became an emperor through the ages?

The three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River.

With the jurisdiction of King Qin.

for a while.

The whole Jiangnan.

A thriving.

Countless sects took refuge in the imperial court and became affiliated sects of Great Xia.

Gathered countless assets.

However, all of this was secretly manipulated by King Qin, intending to surprise Xia Jiuyou.

"My nephew probably never thought that I would go so smoothly!"

Xia Taian looked proud, sitting high on the chair, crossing his legs, with a smile on his face.

Right now.

A soldier hurried in from outside the hall, it was Xia Taian's personal bodyguard.

"Report to King Qin, a letter from the palace!"

"A letter from the palace, pass it up for me to have a look?"

Xia Taian heard this.

Immediately sat up straight.

The bodyguard quickly handed over the envelope.

Xia Taian looked at it seriously.

a long time.

Only then did he take a deep breath.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Seeing Xia Taian like this.

The bodyguard couldn't help asking.

Xia Taian shook her head.

"I thought that what I did in the Jiangnan area was shocking to heaven and man, but I didn't expect my nephew to be able to calculate it first. It turned out that all of this was in my nephew's calculations. I It's just a move he made!"

Xia Taian sighed.

The surprise mood that was originally prepared for Xia Jiuyou.

He was also completely uninterested in being disturbed by this letter.

Hear Xia Taian's words.

The bodyguard couldn't help asking:

"How do you say this, you are here, governing the gentry, accepting the sect, no matter what, if you change someone, I am afraid that you will not have your strength, let alone your courage. Your credit, no matter who it is , cannot be replaced.”

"That's right, that's right, but my nephew also valued this point, so he sent me here. If not, do you think I can come here because of me as a martial artist?"

"Thinking about it, everything here is based on my nephew's calculations, and everything is preparing for the follow-up. Now I am more and more curious about what kind of person my nephew is. Existence actually makes me somewhat unable to see through it!"

Xia Taian murmured.

He defended Xia Jiuyou.

At this moment.

The contents of the envelope are simple.

There is only one thing about collecting business taxes.

But being able to collect commercial tax means.

It meant that Xia Jiuyou already knew about his activities in Jiangnan.

Or rather.

He foresaw all his actions in Jiangnan.

"Before, I was still curious about how my nephew increased the national power of the entire Great Xia by six times in one month. Now it seems that I have underestimated him after all!"

"He has broadened his horizons a long time ago and has seen through the future development trend!"

"Good thing, good thing!"

Xia Taian sighed.

The personal guard beside him listened.

But it still feels a little weird.

Couldn't help but said:
"You can't say that, after all, your strength..."

However, Xia Taian himself was too involved in the drama.

Can't listen to it at all.

Just waved his hand:

"Okay, don't need to say more, let's sum up the gold, silver and jewels that have been sorted out in recent days, and people from the capital will come and take them away in a short time!"

"But those things are princes..."

"That's Daxia's stuff!"

Before the bodyguard questioned.

Xia Taian looked at the bodyguard with a cold gaze.

Originally, he thought that those things could be suppressed, and he could take some of them.

But when the order from the capital was issued.

In his heart, apart from loss, there was more excitement.

Excited about the rise of Great Xia.

Excited about Xia Jiuyou's wisdom.

"Nowadays when Daxia is building the city wall, resources are already in short supply. My nephew sent me here to manage the three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. He has absolute trust in me. Naturally, I can get some benefits from it, but if I take a little, my Nephew will be worried!"

After hearing this, the personal guard shook his head helplessly.

He looked at Xia Tai'an.

"However, there are rumors that even if the city wall is built, it will be useless. The mere defense of the country is just a small place!"

Xia Taian heard this.

Did not refute.

Although he is a warrior.

But also understand.

As the bodyguard said.

The walls themselves are a burden to the mind and the people.

Even if the construction is successful, it will not have much effect.

After all, Daxia and Weiguo have been fighting for decades, and it is not a small city wall that can stop a real war.

But even so.

Xia Taian didn't think much about it either.

"Since my nephew thinks it is useful, then the city wall must be useful!"

"Let me ask you, when my nephew sent me here, did you ever think about the situation here?"

The more he talked, the more Xia Taian felt this way.

The sharpness in his eyes also flickered secretly.

"This……"

The personal guard listened.

Did not reply.

"It seems that I still need to increase my strength!"

Xia Taian murmured.

……

in the palace.

Xia Jiuyou was not idle either.

these days.

He is studying the golden pattern ink of the avenue.

Previously.

Tried to smear a little on the skin.

soon.

It is to be able to get out of the golden ink on the avenue.

Feel the slightest mysterious atmosphere.

through the skin.

wander over his body.

And with the movement of these breaths.

Xia Jiuyou felt it.

At this moment, the realm of his first-rank Martial God has also climbed a few points.

in between.

above his body.

There was a dragon shadow.

looming.

This is the Holy Body of Nine Dragons, in the state of divine dragon protection.

Prior to this, even Xia Jiuyou had never felt the shadow of a dragon when he entered the Martial God.

But at this moment, with the avenue of golden ink entering the body.

Xia Jiuyou actually felt a trace of magic.

at the same time.

A system message.

It also reached Xia Jiuyou's ears.

[Tested that the avenue golden pattern ink tempers the body, swallows luck, national luck -10! 】

This……

Consume national luck.

Refining the body?

Cool!
This is waiting for a good thing!
Although there is no reward.

The reduced national luck is only a pitiful ten points.

But this is only one drop!

Xia Jiuyou, who had tasted the sweetness for the first time, did not stop.

Immediately smear the golden ink on the whole body.

for a while.

A mysterious stream of air.

Started to surge wildly.

At first it was just a brook.

And over time.

This brook-like airflow gradually turned into a vast ocean.

In Xia Jiuyou's body, he roared and walked.

Wash the marrow and cut the tendons.

The system's news also reminded me crazily.

[Tested that the avenue golden pattern ink tempers the body, swallows luck, national luck -20! 】

[Tested that the avenue golden pattern ink tempers the body, swallows luck, national luck -50! 】

……

[Tested that the avenue golden pattern ink tempers the body, swallows luck, national luck -500! 】

……

Look at the numbers that keep beating.

Xia Jiuyou burst into tears.

No way, this feeling is really cool.

Increased strength.

The fate of the country is ruined!

and.

Xia Jiuyou's body was tempered with this avenue of golden ink.

Xia Jiuyou could clearly feel it.

in one's own body.

It seems that there is a phantom of a dragon.

Is quietly awakening.

It kept wandering around his body, devouring the fortune of the country around him.

on the skin.

A series of dragon scales.

quietly emerged.

this moment.

Above the Xia Kingdom Palace.

A looming dragon shadow.

I don't know when it quietly appeared.

The Li Mansion who was walking seemed to have noticed something.

Looking up between.

Heart trembled.

"That is!!!"
