"call!"

After exhaling a long breath, Xu Jin slowly opened his eyes and ended his practice.

While feeling the subtle increase in mana in his body, Xu Jin stood up, and at the same time couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Yunshangjing is indeed the capital of Dasheng, a place like a divine domain, with very rich spiritual energy, and it has great influence on cultivation.

Help, I practiced half a night, and the effect of increasing my magic power was very obvious.

It's a pity that they are leaving today. I don't know when they will come to Yunshangjing next time.

After standing up, Xu Jin neatly tidied up and then waited outside for Chen Shou and others to set off.

Today's Yunshangjing is still very beautiful, especially the clouds in the sky. Today they are spread out in ladder-like shapes in the sky. At a glance, it gives people a feeling of the vastness of the world. And because of the height of Yunshangjing, it is still very beautiful.

It makes people feel that the white clouds spreading like stairs are not out of reach. It seems that if you work harder, you can climb the stairs of the white clouds and step onto the boundless sky.

After admiring it at the door for a short time, Chen Shou and others walked out. Then, Chen Shou, who was still in a good mood in the morning, came to the door and said to Si Bu and others beside him.

"We are going back soon. If there is anything you haven't had time to do, please do it as soon as possible. If you miss the opportunity, the next time you come back will be three years later!"

As the capital of a prosperous country, Yunshangjing is not only as beautiful as a fairyland, it is also one of the most prosperous places in the world. It is home to all the rare treasures in the world. It is said that most of the treasures in the world can be found here.

Xu Jin actually wanted to see some things in his heart. Even if he didn't have much and couldn't afford any of them, maybe it would be good to see some things.

It's a pity that after arriving at Yunshangjing, they were only allowed to see the scenery of Yunshangjing at the door, and there was no chance to look around in Yunshangjing.

After Si Bu and others heard this, they all said that their matters had been dealt with and they could leave directly now, so everyone officially started their way home.

All the way to the edge of Yunshangjing, just like when they came, two figures in white appeared in front of them, and then a cloud of mist appeared at their feet.

At the moment when the clouds were about to rise, Xu Jin suddenly felt something strange happening around him. After he quickly turned his head, he saw a group of light flashing not far from him, followed by two grand masters.

officials showed up there.

"Lord Chen, stay!"

After hearing the words of the two Dasheng officials, Xu Jin and others immediately stopped, and then Chen Shou spoke.

"You two call me, sir, but what are your instructions from His Majesty the Emperor?"

When the two Dasheng officials heard this, they looked at each other, and then one of them spoke.

"His Majesty Sheng Huang asked me to give this to Lord Chen, and asked me to tell you that I hope you will come back with this thing in three years!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another Dasheng official next to him immediately spread his hand, and a box appeared in his hand.

Xu Jin glanced at the box in the opponent's hand, and then he immediately recognized it. It was the box where the earth energy crystals paid tribute by Chen State were stored.

Chen Shou and others looked at the box in the official's hand, and obviously recognized that the box was the tribute they sent, but they still reached out to take the box and opened it to confirm.

After seeing what was inside, Chen Shou and others finally confirmed that what was inside was the earth energy crystal.

"I actually sent back the tribute items!"

After confirming the items in the box, Xu Jin felt very surprised at the moment and couldn't figure out what Dasheng's action of sending back the tribute items meant. Chen Shou and others were also confused for a while.

What the official said just now sounded like encouragement. Asking him to send the tribute items again in three years was an agreement that placed high hopes on him. However, Chen Shou and others had just received the gift from Emperor Sheng.

Not long after receiving support, how could verbal encouragement be compared to actual support? Chen Shou had already received actual support, and it seemed unnecessary to encourage him like this at this time.

Moreover, the things sent back were tribute items from Chen State. The problem of returning the tribute items is not that simple.

After a moment of silence, Chen Shou looked at the box in his hand and suddenly asked the two Dasheng officials.

"I would like to ask you two, His Majesty the Emperor met with the heads of state of various countries last night. How long did he last until he took a break?"

When the two Dasheng officials heard this, they looked at each other again, and then one of them thought for a moment before answering.

"His Majesty the Emperor will not rest until dawn this morning!"

"Thank you!"

After hearing this answer, Chen Shou's eyes flashed, and then he thanked the two Dasheng officials in front of him. Sibu, who was standing behind him, stepped forward with a smile and bowed to the two Dasheng officials.

After a salute, he took out two small cloth bags in his hand and handed them to the two Dasheng officials in front of him.

"Thank you two adults for coming here to inform me. I would like to express my feelings before you say goodbye. I hope you two adults will not dislike it!"

Seeing this, the two Dasheng officials took the two small cloth bags without hesitation, put them into their sleeves, returned the gift with a smile, and turned around to leave.

Xu Jin looked at the two Dasheng officials leaving, then looked at Chen Shou who was still holding the box in his hand, and his thoughts started to work.

As the leader of the Chen Kingdom, Chen Shou asked the question very cleverly. He did not directly ask the two Dasheng officials why they returned the tribute items to him, but instead used a sentence that seemed to care about Emperor Sheng.

If so, I asked about my guess about this.

In this way, the two Da Sheng officials did not need to hide anything out of scruples, and he could also verify his suspicions and confirm the Emperor Sheng's intention to return the items he paid tribute to.

Based on what Chen Shou said just now and the answers given by the two Dasheng officials, Xu Jin also had a guess about this.

When Chen Shou and others came back yesterday, they undoubtedly received support from Emperor Sheng. From this, it can be seen that Emperor Sheng was on Chen Guo's side.

As for Jingguo, who had already left, there were also some powerful vassal states standing behind them. Chen Shou could get help from Emperor Sheng, and those powerful lords of the vassal states could also provide help to Jingguo.

Now it is basically certain that some princes and princes also met Emperor Sheng after Chen Shou yesterday. They may not necessarily be those princes and princes standing behind Jing Guo, but because of them, Emperor Sheng's attitude towards Chen Guo

, there have been changes to a certain extent.

The tribute items were returned. According to Xu Jin's understanding at the moment, this was a very interesting signal.

Not accepting this tribute means that Dasheng, as the co-owner, has no obligation to help Chen Guo in the future, and asking Chen Guo to come back to send this tribute three years later is not only an encouragement, but also a message to Chen Guo

, Dasheng did not abandon Chen Guo.

Based on all of this, Xu Jin now had a rough guess in mind about Da Sheng's behavior of returning the tribute items.

Emperor Sheng may be telling Chen Shou that Dasheng has already given help to Chen Guo, but will not continue to provide help unconditionally, but needs Chen Guo to show his value.

In the next battle with Jing Guo, if Chen Guo cannot support the next three years, then Chen Guo's own value will not be much, and it is not worth Dasheng's efforts to help Chen Guo.

"Let's go!"

Passing the box in his hand to Si Bu behind him, Chen Shou turned around and said in a low voice.

Xu Jin knew that Chen Shou's good mood may no longer exist at this moment. Next, the pressure will return to him. He must think carefully about how to deal with Jing Guo's attack after returning.

When the two figures in white heard the words, they silently moved the white clouds under their feet, flew up with Xu Jin and others, and slowly left Yun Shangjing.

Standing on the white clouds, Xu Jin looked at Yun Shangjing, which was gradually disappearing in his field of vision. Of course, he felt a little bit of reluctance in his heart for this beautiful place like a fairyland, but this reluctance was just out of a love for beautiful things.

appreciation.

The white clouds under his feet slowly descended, and Xu Jin's sight gradually lost sight of the scene on the clouds. Not long after, the clouds landed steadily, and two figures in white took a step back and faced Chen Shouxing.

After a salute, clouds appeared again under their feet and took them flying back to Yunshangjing.

After everyone landed, Chen Shou got on the chariot again. Xu Jin noticed that Chen Shou looked very serious when he entered the chariot.

Continuing to walk along the way they came, not long after, everyone arrived at the entrance of Shenxing Road. During this short journey, Xu Jin was still thinking about what had just happened.

He had already thought of Sheng Huang's intention to return the tribute before. Although it may not be correct, this is what Xu Jin could analyze for the time being. But now Xu Jin is thinking about other things exposed by Sheng Huang's behavior.

Dasheng adopts a feudal system. As the co-owner of the world, Dasheng is nominally the ruler of the entire world, but in fact, the princes of various countries have the highest authority in their own countries.

For people in various countries, many people only know about the monarch of their own country, but do not know about the existence of a prosperous emperor.

To maintain such a system, in addition to constantly strengthening ties with various countries, Dasheng also needed to have absolute strength and be able to suppress all vassal states.

But now, those powerful princes and kings began to provoke Dasheng. Emperor Sheng's original plan to help Chen Guo also changed after meeting some princes and kings. This implicitly exposed one thing, that is

Today's Dasheng may no longer have the strength to absolutely suppress these vassal states.

If not, for this matter between Chen Guo and Jing Guo, Da Sheng could completely rely on supporting Chen Guo to allow the weak Chen Guo to quickly defeat the relatively powerful Jing Guo, in order to demonstrate its strength.

At the same time, these princely states were shocked.

Everyone quickly arrived in front of the Shenxing Road. This time, Wu Xing stepped forward to open the Shenxing Road. Before entering the Shenxing Road, Xu Jin turned his head and looked at Yunshangjing again. It was still as beautiful as a fairyland, but at this moment Xu Jin
