The Emperor Summoning System - Chapter 664

[Chapter 664: The arrival of the New Year]

Usually, the subordinate country cannot refuse the orders issued by the suzerain country to the subordinate country.

It can be said that if you are asked to die, you can only die.

What is even more tragic is that the vassal country needs to pay tribute to the overlord country every year and constantly dedicate its own national resources to the overlord country.

And like Liu Huangyin, the vassal country must also offer the monarch’s heir as a hostage to stay in the suzerain’s country to prevent the vassal country from rebelling.

It can be said that once it becomes a client state, the fate of the country is no longer in its control.

Hearing that Liu Ling was willing to pay such a high price, the civil and military officials in the palace could no longer remain calm. They breathed heavily and turned their eager eyes to Li Shi.

Of all the people present, perhaps only a few people such as Li Shi and Fan Li could remain calm.

Because these are actually part of their calculations!

Ordinary people in Taotang didn’t know much about what happened in the northern countries, but how could Li Shi, who was in charge of Dark Star’s intelligence department, not know?

Today’s Dark Star, since the meritorious service in Five Elements City, has already extended its minions to Taotang and secretly sneaked into the surrounding countries.

It can be said that the moment Liu Ling was chased out of Zonghan’s capital, Dark Star fully grasped this information.

Therefore, before Liu Ling arrived last night, Li Shi and Fan Li had predicted various possible situations.

Liu Ling’s bargaining chips are already extremely rich in the eyes of civil and military officials, even a bit exaggerated.

But in the eyes of Li Shi and Fan Li, this is not enough!

Li Shi coughed dryly and lifted Liu Ling up with force that could not be resisted: “Grandpa Liu, you must be too tired from traveling and your head is a little unclear.

I think you should go and rest first.”

Liu Ling said.

Ling was dumbfounded immediately. He had humbled himself to this extent. Li Shi was still not satisfied?

“Duke Li,”

Liu Ling’s face was filled with eagerness. He wanted to say something, but was directly interrupted by Li Shi: “Come here, please settle down the troops of Zonghan Principality. In the past few days, let Mr. Liu experience the customs of our Taotang Dynasty and let him Relax and relax.”

Two teams of halberd-wielding guards stepped directly outside the hall and “invited” Liu Ling out.

Liu Ling opened his mouth, and finally sighed heavily, leading the men and horses out of the hall.

Li Shi and Fan Li, a pair of sinister monarchs and ministers, immediately looked at each other tacitly.

In the next few days, Liu Ling visited Li Shi almost every day, but Li Shi refused to visit them all for various reasons.

The bad news coming from the north made Liu Ling unable to eat well, sleep well, and lost several pounds.

Another month passed in such calmness mixed with turmoil.

Within a month, the southeastern part of the mainland was still the most chaotic place in the entire Xuanhuang Continent.

Among the Southeast Alliance, the Yinsa Alliance has completely captured the territory of Zonghan Principality.

Without the Grand Duke Liu Ling, the Zonghan Principality was completely unable to resist, and had to become food in the mouth of the Yinsa Alliance and be cannibalized.

The Lingqi Principality and the Muyan Principality also felt the threat from the Yinsa Alliance, stopped attacking each other, and began to guard against the Yinsa Alliance.

The Yinsa Alliance, which originally only had two cities, grew in strength after swallowing up the Principality of Zonghan, becoming the most powerful force in the north, threatening Lingqi and Muyan and having to turn their hostility into friendship.

At this time, the last month of the 1000th year of the Xuanhuang Calendar has also turned.

The New Year bell rang in the year 1001 of the Xuanhuang Calendar, and Li Shi also turned 19 years old.

Just half a year has passed since he traveled through time, and there are still one year and ten months until the next phase of the main mission is completed!
