Chapter 346: Heavenly World: Selfishness

Zheng Qiu hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no! Her talent is too poor! It would be a waste of time to accept her as a disciple."

"The reason I asked you to come here is to ask why your country relies on a woman's marriage to maintain stability. If you don't have the talent to manage the world, why don't you hand over the country to others and be happy and at ease?"

Ji Ju's face suddenly changed: "You must be joking, Immortal! We must defend our ancestors' territory to the death and not give even an inch of it to others!"

Zheng Qiu looked at Ji Ju in confusion: "Aren't you going to cede the three counties? Where are you going to defend it?"

Ji Ju just bowed slightly and said, "My Lord, there is nothing we can do about this. Our Yan State only has fourteen counties. Giving up three counties would be enough to cause us great pain, but we have no choice."

Zheng Qiu became interested: "Tell me in detail!"

Ji Ju said without further ado, "Although Yan State only has fourteen counties, in fact, the cultivated land area is not much! This time, Yan State and Zhao State have been fighting for years, and it should have ended in a draw, but a natural disaster affected the northern border and the capital area of ​​Zhao State. If the war continues, it will probably hurt our vitality!"

"We have no choice but to make the marriage, in order to have three years to recuperate. One day, we will take back the three counties and avenge today's shame."

Zheng Qiu nodded: "That's quite courageous. It's not wrong to say that. It's a good deal to exchange one person's life for the lives of millions of people!"

Seeing that Zheng Qiu did not refute, Ji Ju said directly: "I think the immortals can see the constitution of my niece! She is the body of the Dragon Mother. On the day of her birth, there were strange phenomena in the world for a long time. It is said that the body of the Dragon Mother will definitely give birth to a real dragon. If there is a slight possibility, I would not want him to marry. But there is no other way. I can't harm the people today for the sake of an empty future!"

Zheng Qiu nodded again: "You are right!"

Seeing that Zheng Qiu had been persuaded by him, Ji Ju's initial gloom disappeared, and he put on a smile as warm as spring breeze: "My Lord, I also know that in the eyes of immortals, mortals are like dust, but I am the king and my uncle. She was born in the royal family and lived a glorious life. She eats and lives with the people's fat. It is her destiny to contribute to the people!"

Zheng Qiu interrupted directly, "I can understand what you said, but I have traveled to various worlds and have seen some outstanding emperors in the ancient times of a certain world. That person once said that the emperor guards the country's gates and the king dies for the country. This saying has benefited me a lot. I wonder what you think?"

Ji Ju's eyes lit up, then turned dark again: "I also want to die on the battlefield, but I am the king! The king cannot make mistakes! If anything happens to me, the people of Yan will suffer!"

Zheng Qiu smiled slightly: "Do you know martial arts?"

Ji Ju nodded: "Although I can't say that I am unrivaled in the world, I can still be considered to be proficient in hundreds of martial arts."

Zheng Qiu laughed: "You talked to me about your noble character, but to be frank, you just can't bear to give up the throne!"

Ji Ju was slightly stunned, and his face instantly turned red with shame: "The Immortal is joking!"

Zheng Qiu laughed: "Yes! Very funny! You are looking at the vast mountains and rivers. I also took a rough look when I passed by just now. You have fourteen counties in Yan State, six counties are in the mountains, two counties are in the desert, and the remaining six counties are used as capital for negotiations. In other words, after you divide the country, only three counties are suitable for farming. You use the land of these three counties to feed the other eight counties. Haha, it is indeed funny. By the way, why don’t you laugh!"

At this moment, Ji Ju's face was extremely ugly: "Sir, please don't torture me!"

Zheng Qiu looked at Li Rubi who was kneeling on the ground and asked: "Why are you running away?"

Li Rubi kowtowed quickly, and the veil on her face fell off, revealing her stunning face: "Please forgive me, Immortal! I... I don't want to. Why should I be responsible for the life and death of others! Defending the border and expanding the territory is a man's duty. It is shameless to be cowardly before fighting. Why should you sacrifice the happiness of a little girl like me? I want to ask the king, if we lose the war next time, who will stand up and marry? Will it be the princess? If that Ji Bo falls in love with the queen, will the king be willing to let her go?"

Ji Ju was immediately furious: "Asshole! Your Li family is a branch of the Ji family. Everything you have is a gift from the Ji family. Your aunt also regarded you as the apple of her eye. How can you humiliate her like this?"

Li Rubi stiffened his neck and said, "I can't say a word, but you easily decided my life! You are so selfish!"

Ji Ju glared at him fiercely: "Ru Bi! You have to marry me today even if you don't want to. If you don't marry me, your three clans will be in danger! Can you bear to let your father, who has been honest and careful all his life, lose his integrity in his later years?"

Li Rubi stiffened his neck and said, "My father naturally wants me to be happy!"

Zheng Qiu slapped his head and said, "Look at what happened! I forgot to arrest your father!"

When Li Rubi heard what Zheng Qiu said, his face suddenly changed: "Please...please let my father go, I am willing to work like a cow or a horse to repay your kindness!"

Zheng Qiu shook his head: "What do I need you for? I don't seek mortal power, and you are of no benefit to my cultivation, so what do I need you for? If you were in the mortal world, your appearance would be second to none, but if you were in the fairy world, your magnificent appearance would be nothing but ordinary!"

Just as Ji Ju was about to say something, Zheng Qiu stretched out his hand and interrupted him: "I have figured it out! A family of selfish bastards! I thought it was the incompetence of the soldiers, but it turned out to be the incompetence of the monarch. I thought there was another hidden reason, but it turned out to be selfishness. It seems that the world ruled by the Lord of Morality is not that great!"

Ji Ju's face changed: "You said you know the Three Pure Ones?"

Zheng Qiu nodded slightly: "I just met them, the three of them are quite powerful, you guys are a bit useless."

Ji Ju shook his waist and knelt on his knees: "Please show me a way!"

Zheng Qiu thought for a moment and said, "How about this! I will cut down the high mountains in one county for you, so that you can have another county to cultivate?"

Ji Ju looked a little disappointed: "I wonder which county you want to cut off for me, Senior."

Zheng Qiu looked at Ji Ju's expression with some surprise: "You don't seem to want me to do this! So put it this way! What do you want me to do?"

Ji Ju kowtowed directly and said: "If the Immortal can help me kill the King of Zhao, I am willing to build a monument and a temple for the Immortal, and my descendants will worship him for ten thousand years!"

Zheng Qiu was speechless: "Wait for me here for a while!"

Zheng Qiu disappeared into the forest in an instant. Ji Ju quickly stood up and said, "Golden Armor! Where did this immortal go?"

Jin Jia's face was pale. He had just heard a lot of things he shouldn't have heard. He was afraid that he would lose his life. However, he had to answer the king's question. His voice was trembling: "Reporting to the king, I'm afraid this senior has gone to Zhao State!"

Ji Ju was a little puzzled: "Go to Zhao State? Did he agree to my request?"

Jin Jia said tremblingly: "I'm afraid they are going to capture the King of Zhao to confront you!"
