Peerless Taoist

He did not want to make a scene here. After all, he was currently in the Great Zhou's territory. It would not be appropriate for him to come here.    

"Don't worry. The Marquis of the Mountain has already sealed the news. No one else knows that you have come." Chu Tianxiong said, "Only my spies know about your arrival. However, these spies are all old people in the Heavenly Network. They are very conservative when it comes to information."    

"Mm..."    

Lu Yu knocked on the table, his face showing no emotions.    

"Why did Ji Wenchang seal the news? What does he want?" Lu Yu's heart sank.    

In the Heaven Realm, there were very few people who could make Lu Yu feel uneasy. One of them was Emperor Li of the Great Tang, and the other was Emperor Ji Wenchang of the Great Zhou.    

Whether it was the Great Tang or the Great Zhou, they had long disappeared in the river of time. Their dynasties had already collapsed, and their karmic luck had been extinguished. They had long disappeared from the world, but they had quietly appeared in this chaotic world.    

Be it Ji Wenchang or Li, their traces could be found in the ancient times. They were like people from the past who had passed through time and space to appear in the present. They had reestablished their immortal foundation.    

"When I went to the Divine Capital, did I see Li? I was already at his doorstep, but he still avoided me. What are they doing?" Lu Yu was suddenly alerted.    

Of course, Lu Yu did not think that these two emperors did not come out because they wanted to avoid fighting. Experts who could cultivate to their level all had an invincible heart. Otherwise, they would not have been able to reach their current level.    

"Do you know where Ji Wenchang went?" Lu Yu asked.    

Chu Tianxiong shook his head. "Forget about us, even the bad guys of the Tang Dynasty, and even the officials of the Great Zhou, I am afraid that they don't know."    

"When Ji Wenchang suddenly disappeared, no one knew where he went. Fortunately, Ji Wenchang's life token has not shattered, so the Great Zhou Empire is not in chaos because of this."    

"But there is something else that is strange."    

"What is it?" Lu Yu's eyebrows slightly raised.    

Chu Tianxiong said, "Previously, the Great Zhou Empire had locked down the Great Qin Empire, but now, they have already opened up these locks. They don't even need to pay extra taxes to enter the pass."    

"Many large chambers of commerce found a chance to enter Kunlun and Heavenly Imperial Galaxies. My Da Yuan Bank took the opportunity to expand its power. It could be said that we have gained a lot. However, this matter is a bit strange..."    

Seeing that Lu Yu was still drinking tea, Chu Tianxiong continued, "My Great Qin Empire is vast, and I have the most chambers of commerce. Countless merchants flocked here to increase our trade. My Great Qin Empire's strength has increased the most. However, the Great Zhou Empire has always been conservative, so they usually choose to lock down the pass and not let my Great Qin's power seep in. Now, they suddenly open up, I don't know why..."    

"You are right. This kind of thing cannot be decided without Ji Wenchang's final decision. However, since he knows what to do, then I won't be stingy. Since you are in Kunlun, then you will be the person in charge of the General Administration of Asset Management in Kunlun. Tell those merchants not to think that Kunlun and Heavenly Imperial Galaxies are not within the territory of Great Qin. They will be deceived, swindled, and forced to sell. You will supervise these things. The business of Great Qin's merchants has to be done with conscience. If anyone dares to cause trouble, then don't let him continue to do so. "    

"In addition, Great Qin's industrial development has been very fast. In recent years, the Bureau of Industry and Construction has also added the Divine Technique Division, the Machinery Division, and the Production Division. If all the products are sold in Kunlun and Heavenly Imperial Galaxies, it will definitely squeeze out the livelihood of the people there. You all should not go too far. You should also start to teach the people of the two Galaxies the skills that they should know. This is a good thing for the Heaven Realm. "    

"I will do as you say."    

Chu Tianxiong nodded, but there was a glimmer in his eyes as he hesitated.    

"If you have something to say, just say it." Lu Yu immediately understood that Chu Tianxiong probably had something to say.    

"Your Majesty is so understanding of the people of the two Galaxies. I'm afraid that you have long wanted to take over the two Galaxies, right?" Chu Tianxiong cupped his hands and said, "I have a plan that can help Your Majesty to take over Great Zhou."    

"Tell me." Lu Yu said indifferently.    

"My Da Yuan Bank is now the number one force in Great Zhou. In Great Zhou, from the government to the sects and holy lands, they all owe the Da Yuan Bank money. There are many officials in the Great Zhou Imperial Court, and they are pawns arranged by the Da Yuan Bank. Even among the Zhou army, there are a number of generals that are controlled by the Da Yuan Bank."    

"All these years, the Da Yuan Bank has been secretly plotting, and has already completed its plan. We only need Your Majesty's order to take the Zhou Territory without bloodshed."    

As Chu Tianxiong spoke, his eyes flashed with a light that could not be concealed.    

This was a feat of expanding the territory.    

Now, in the Twelve Galaxies of the Heavenly Realm, Great Qin had already taken eight of them, and more than half of Great Yu's territory had been restored. Lu Yu had already agreed to a bet with Emperor Tang Li to decide the ownership of the Tang Territory. Therefore, the eyes of the generals of the Qin army all fell on the territory of the Great Zhou.    

Achievements in battle were the basis for promotion.    

Although Chu Tianxiong was born in the Heavenly Network, he was still part of the Lu party, and he had a good relationship with Li Si, Zhang Baoxiang, Qin Luoshan, and the others. His current words were actually representing the power behind him, asking Lu Yu to fight.    

"Is it them who asked you to pass on the message?" Lu Yu smiled faintly. "There's no need to consider this matter. The Kunlun and Heavenly Imperial Lands cannot be used for battle."    

"Your so-called bloodshed is simply impossible. The Ji Family of the Great Zhou has been planning in these two places for many years. They are interconnected, and I don't know how many people are their spies. Just based on the few years of business of the Da Yuan Bank, you want to shake the foundation of the Ji Family? Don't be delusional."    

Lu Yu rejected this request decisively.    

Even if the Da Yuan Bank had arranged many chess pieces behind the scenes, the Zhou army still had more than thirty million people.    

Such a huge army, if they were to clash head-on with the Qin army, they would probably suffer countless casualties.    

The great calamity was coming. Lu Yu would not allow another intense war to erupt in the Heaven Realm and cause internal strife.    

"If Ji Wenchang is here, I can challenge him to a battle to determine the future." This thought flashed through Lu Yu's mind.    

His gaze had long since shifted away from the Heaven Realm and into the vast sky beyond.    

As for the Heaven Realm, Lu Yu planned to use the shortest amount of time to settle the matters here and complete the unification as soon as possible.    

"Let's put this matter aside for now and talk about the matter I asked you to investigate." Lu Yu suddenly said in a deep voice.
