No one had ever thought that the arrival of the Mingzong people would bring such explosive news, which made them dizzy and unable to speak for a long time.

"His Majesty,"

Qi Lu left the line at this time and bowed his hands and said, "I have something to say."

His eyes were gathered on him, but he was not afraid. He said shamelessly. Since he came to the capital, he has been watched every now and then, and he is still a little uncomfortable...

I have been used to it for a long time, and the saying "habit becomes nature" is not something I can say casually.

"speak."

Ji Tianxing's forehead jumped, and he really didn't know what Qi Lu would make in such an occasion. But after a brief shock, the other party's words were filled with great comfort.

"Now that ghosts are invading, we assume that it is going to happen. With this as an argument, Qiguo cannot be spared. However, even if the sects in the cultivation world can leave behind their heritage, they will definitely be damaged, and they may be in a slump from now on. Now is the time when we need to work together to eliminate other entanglements of interests and unanimously to the outside world... I wonder what someone said is correct?"

While Qi Lu was speaking, his eyes were always on Lu Xiangsi, and the other party did not let him go, looking at him with bright eyes.

"Should this be the case."

After receiving the response, Qi Lu nodded with satisfaction and said, "The sect has made great efforts, and Qiguo is naturally doing his best. In order to allow us to make more timely preparations, then... can this year's tribute be exempted appropriately?"

There was a lot of discussion in the hall. Although it was still against Qi Lu, civil and military officials rarely agreed with his words in this matter.

You should know that the annual tribute is not just a small part, but it accounts for 30% of Qiguo's annual income! Among these 30%, most of them are precious items such as spirit stones. If this annual tribute was not suppressed every year, Qiguo would not have become much better, at least it would be a little more relaxed.

I want the horse to run away, but I don’t give it to the horse, and I even more exploited the horse. I said that it was to assist the cultivation world in investigation, but to put it bluntly, I just want to be cannon fodder!

As we pinched our noses and became cannon fodder, but you didn’t have any other statements. You really don’t have any more fire when you are a clay man!

"Your Majesty, I will discuss it."

The one who stood up to express his agreement was Cao Feng from Pingtian Mansion. With his departure, Ji Wuli, Ji Wuyi, Wang Yan'an, Wang Xianzhong and other officials also all showed up to express their agreement.

One after another, someone looked around, sighed and walked out of his sleeves. The sound gradually gathered from the original sparseness to a torrent, causing the disciples of Mingzong to change their colors slightly.

"Your Majesty, I will discuss it!"

...

Lu Xiangsi looked at Qi Lu, who was standing in the middle of the hall, with a tall and straight body like a long pine tree, and an unknown smile appeared in her eyes.

"If you don't tell me about this, I'm actually talking about it."

Lu Xiangsi stood up slowly, with a remarkable figure. He just walked forward a little while and said a word, and the forced aura gradually calmed down in the hall.

"This year's annual tribute may not be collected, but starting next year, it will increase by 15% annual tribute every year for ten consecutive years on this basis."

‘Baba…bha!’

Qi Lu applauded with his hands and exclaimed: "Your Sect really has a good plan. After all, you will not lose money anyway."

"Please decide."

He wanted to fight back directly, but in this case, he had to leave the problem to Ji Tianxing to decide. After all, this is not his country, and he can't play with it at will according to his own requirements.

Ji Tianxing's expression kept changing, and everyone was waiting for his response. I don't know how long it took, maybe dozens of breaths, or one or two hours, and even when time and space seemed to have already stagnated, he returned to the appearance of Wubo of the ancient well.

"The envoy can report back to the sect, and the tribute will be exempted this year, and the value will remain unchanged next year. In this way, I am willing to devote all the power of the country to exert our power."

As he said that, he stood up and looked at Lu Xiangsi standing upright, and said in a deep voice: "Otherwise, I would rather resist the invasion of ghosts alone."

He said it firmly, but during negotiations, this statement was just a bluff. He was actually betting. Who would be the first to bet between the two parties and then make compromises and concessions.

"Your Majesty's words are too much. If Emperor Mingzong had not supported and protected Qiguo with his own power and blocked the sects located in other countries, how could Qiguo have peace at this time?"

"Hahahahaha!"

When you are extremely angry but cannot get angry, using laughter to cover it is undoubtedly a very excellent choice. Ji Tianxing's laughter was so cheerful that he was not abnormal. He was like an old man who cared for his juniors and said, "Why don't the messenger go back to the sect and say with a sound, and will the head and elder in the sect agree to say something else?"

If it was really a ghost attack, he believed that the other party would definitely consider it carefully. If it wasn't for a ghost attack, at worst, he would give them the tribute that should have been sent out.

"You really think that all of my Mingzong is successful? Although we are just passing on the identity of a disciple, we are not allowed to be kneaded by ordinary people at will! If you don't want to pay the tribute in the year? Yes, after my Mingzong takes action, we will definitely bring the power of the entire sect to ask Qiguo for advice."

The man who had a conflict with Qi Lu had a long body at this time, and his voice was loudly scolding the surroundings. The toughness with the backstage support made Qi Lu very envious.

This is a unique experience that he will never experience.

"Can you represent Mingzong?"

Qi Lu took a step forward and looked directly at the other party, but the other party refused to give in and said coldly: "Disciples walk around the world, and every word and action can represent the sect."

After saying that, he blurted out his sarcastic words: "Can you represent Qiguo?"

If what you say doesn't count, then what qualifications are you to talk to me?

Qi Lu laughed and said, "This is Your Majesty's Qiguo, but it has a close relationship with me. My family, my relatives and friends all live in this country. My words and deeds are not like you, but every word I say can represent myself. As a subject of this country, I am qualified to speak for myself."

His words attracted a lot of applause. He thought he was forced into a dead end and could not extricate himself, but he did not expect that Qi Lu would argue so much that he could say that he could live!

"You are quibbling!"

The man glared at the tiger's eyes and his aura burst out from all over his body!

Qi Lu moved his muscles and looked at him contemptuously, turned around and stepped out of the Political Affairs Hall, but his voice echoed in the hall for a long time:

"Get out and get beaten up."
Chapter completed!
