The days resumed in peace.
As time went on, the people of the whole village of Galhe Lok Shan got to know Di Jiu’s nature. Not a talkative outsider, he would go for a walk around the village after a while and stayed in his hut most of the time.
The only drawback was that he never went out to work.
After knowing that Di Jiu did not like to go out to work, every once in a while someone would send some food to Di Jiu. Although some people looked down on Di Jiu’s laziness, most of the villagers did not care much about it.
As far as these villagers were concerned, Di Jiu was after all missing a leg, and Di Jiu was brought back by the Sea of Return, and even brought good fortune to the Gahar Village.
Any villager who sent something to Di Jiu would simply deliver it to a small wooden warehouse outside Di Jiu’s house and no one could ever see him while Di Jiu closed the gate to heal.
In the view of the villagers of Ghahe Lok, Di Jiu was also very knowledgeable and he never took the initiative to ask the villagers to send things to him. If someone sent something to his hut, he would not send it back either. If someone gave something to Di Jiu and felt some regret afterwards, they could always go in and take it away, and Di Jiu never said anything.
The one who gave Di Jiu the most things was Guihai, but the one who came to look for Di Jiu the most often was Ganrou, the most beautiful flower of Gajiahe Lu.
However, no matter whether it was Guihai or Ganrou, the number of times they could see Di Jiu was very few. Only when Di Jiu came out to walk could they see Di Jiu and have a few words with her.
In any case, after Di Jiu’s arrival, the quality of life in the small mountain village of Gahe Lu has obviously improved a lot. The illnesses were gone and the food was guaranteed.
Not only that, but the fruits in Gaher Lok were all better than anywhere else.
Some of the more active villagers collected and sold the fruits of Gaher Lok to the market a hundred miles away.
Many of the villagers even made a small fortune from this, and then bought large quantities of cotton and silk, and some even started to buy some luxury items that only people in the city would buy.
Di Jiu naturally did not know all this, it had been more than a year since he had come to Gaher Lok. In more than a year, he had recovered quite a lot. Although one of his broken legs was still broken, his broken leg could be recovered whenever he wanted.
However, Di Jiu knew very well in his heart that this kind of recovery was not the recovery he wanted.
What he needed was that after his broken leg recovered, the Dao would not be affected in any way, which meant that his physical body and Dao thoughts had to recover together in order to do so.
It was also because he could not do that now that Di Jiu was not in a hurry to recover his broken leg.
In Low Gathering’s mind, his Dao idea was still lacking, the rule dao was not perfect, if his Dao idea was perfect, he could definitely recover his broken leg extremely easily.
The peaceful and calm life of the Gaher Lok made up for his Dao, yet there was still something missing, perhaps these would take time to replenish, not something he could get just by wanting it.
……
In Zexing, the Chang Yuan Empire is the most powerful empire.
The Chang Yuan Empire is powerful not only because of the strength of the Chang Yuan Empire’s army, but more importantly, the Chang Yuan Empire has an omnipotent state master.
Anything that could not be solved, could be easily solved if the State Master stepped in. Even in times of drought, one can ask the State Master for rain.
All the kingdoms around the Chang Yuan Empire are required to pay tribute to the Chang Yuan Empire every year.
Not only that, but the va*sal states or state cities attached to the Chang Yuan Empire are also required to pay tribute every year. The good thing is that the Chang Yuan Empire is so rich that it does not care how precious the tribute is, as long as it is new and unique.
Today is the day when the va*sal states affiliated to the Chang Yuan Empire pay tribute. The ruler of the Chang Yuan Empire, Sen En, is sitting in the Golden Palace, his face mostly covered by colourful ta*sels.
If anyone had looked up, they would have seen the unhealthy pallor of his face exposed by the ta*sels of the emperor’s coronet. Not only that, but his cheeks were deeply sunken, evidence of over-indulgence.
No one dared to look up in the golden palace of the Chang Yuan Empire, with the exception of one person, the State Master Naphthalene Ising. It can be said that Naphthalene Yisheng is the one who has contributed the most to make the Chang Yuan Empire what it is today. The ruler of the Chang Yuan Empire, Sam En, trusted him and obeyed his words.
At this moment, he is sitting beside him, not even above all others, but on an equal footing with him.
He nodded to him. Only then did Sen En sweep his eyes over the many prostrate courtiers, and only after a long time did he speak with satisfaction, “All the ministers should be pacified, visit the line, and have the tributary ministers offer their gifts.”
“Yes.” A white-faced, beardless eunuch standing below hurriedly bowed in response, and then said aloud, “Please ask the tributary ministers to present their gifts in order!”
As the voices spread one after the other, the first minister to present his gifts came to the bottom of the main hall, led by the little yellow door.
The sharp voice of the visiting line followed, “Shah King Koxha under the Chang Yuan Empire presents a hundred catties of purple gold, a hundred catties of extremely fine salivary incense, and a piece of extraterrestrial meteorite iron ……”
As the visitation line was read out, the gifts were instead carried around behind the visitation line before being carried out of the Golden Palace.
The visiting line read for a dozen breaths before the gifts were finished.
Seeing the emperor sen’en nodding, the visitation line continued, “The gift has entered the palace, King Shah has travelled far and hard, please take your seat in the king’s palace.”
Hearing this voice, the man kneeling on the ground hurriedly called out three times of great thanks and stood up to follow a eunuch out of the Golden Emperor.
After King Shah left, another man came in and knelt down, and the visitation line continued to read, “King Pak Bak, King of Wing Yong under the jurisdiction of the Chang Yuan Empire, presents a pair of twin fragrant daughters and one hundred and eight pearls of the deep sea ……”
When he saw the two beautiful maidens walk in, he immediately laughed and said, “King Yiyong has a heart, there is no need for the pair of beauties to go down, come, sit beside the widow.”
The two maidens said yes in a very good manner and then curled up to the left and right of Sen En.
Sen En smelled the faint scent and became more and more pleased, even reaching out to take the two maidens in his arms.
The visitation line was still being sung, and the gifts were still being pa*sed around the golden palace. But none of this drew Senator’s attention anymore, now his full attention was on the two fragrant maidens by his side. The faint scent coming from them was a little soul-crushing to him.
“Lord of Gaju City under the jurisdiction of the Chang Yuan Empire wishes to slant a gift of ten Sunset Peaches ……”
Even Visit himself was surprised, he had been singing gifts for years and it was the first time he had heard of someone just giving ten sunset peaches. He was tempted to think that he had not read it from the back, but after these ten sunset peaches, there was really nothing left.
“Hiss!” The visitation line all sucked in a cold breath backwards, did this not know what to do with death? Not only the visiting line who sang the salute, but also all the ministers in the main hall were silent. This was clearly a man who was looking for death. But even if you are looking for death, don’t come here, just kill yourself, the ruler of the Chang Yuan Empire won’t let you die fast and furiously.
“Hmm!” Seemingly sensing the silence around him, Sen En raised his head, “What is it?”
Dare I say he hadn’t heard the chanting of the visiting line clearly just now.
“Your Majesty, a city lord just gave away ten sunset peaches.” One of the fragrant maids snuggled up to Sen’en replied in a low voice.
“What?!” Flames rubbed off from Sen En’s heart.
Even the neighbouring countries did not have the courage to send this kind of peach, but a subordinate city under their jurisdiction had the courage to send it. He didn’t care how many sunset peaches were given to him, but only ten of them were given to him.
It was one thing for him not to care about the size of the gift, but it was another thing for him to be slapped in the face with such a tribute.
