C38 On national affairs at night

"From the Profound Nation? Is your surname Liu? " Eneru stared at the two of them, although he was weak, he still struggled to sit up.

Wan Qing did not understand why Jing Tian said that, she turned to Jing Tian, and saw Jing Tian nodding to her. Wan Qing was very smart, even though she was still confused, but she knew. There must be a reason behind his brother's words.

Jing Tian replied: "We are not surnamed Liu, we are just a small family in Xuan Country. We are not ranked in the country."

Alley's expression softened, but he still frowned and asked, "Then why did you come to us?" From what I know, the Profound Nation is also in the western part of the continent, but it is still very far from our Ten-Thousand Trees Country. Moreover, if you want to enter the Ten-Thousand Trees Country, you need to enter from the big forest. How did you do it? "

"Actually, my sister and I accidentally picked up a teleportation talisman. I don't know why we activated the teleportation circle among the Symbol paper, so we came here." He answered truthfully.

After hearing what she said, Eneru nodded his head in satisfaction and laid back down on the bed.

"Since the two of you were sent here by the teleportation rune, it can only be an accident. Furthermore, you have taken care of me, so you should stay in Wang Guo Town for the time being. "

Eneru then turned to his daughter and said: "I just heard that you wanted the two of them to go to Imperial City to look for someone, you wouldn't be thinking about that brat Shumpert, right?"

Emma lowered his head and whispered, "Father, I really like Shumpert. And you're sick here, so I want him to come back and help us. "

"Hmph, no way. I rejected Arthur's request for a marriage, it was just because I don't like his arrogant appearance, don't think that I am silently admitting to the relationship between you and Shumpert. " Eneru laid on the bed and scolded his daughter, but he had forgotten that he was still sick.

Emma hurriedly helped him up again, and used his hands to constantly pat his father's back. "Let's not talk about this matter anymore, the most important thing for you to do now is to recuperate from your illness."

After his daughter's slaps, Eneru slowly got better.

At this time, Jing Tian took a step forward, "Mayor Eneru, I heard the two of you discussing the question of offering worship to the gods from outside the door. My sister and I are both curious, why do you both have other beliefs than that of Great God Bloodjade? "

Eneru stared at Jing Tian for a long time, he did not directly answer, and instead indifferently asked a question: "Your name is Jing Tian, right? "Jing Tian, do you know who your Xuan Kingdom's founder was?"

Even though Jing Tian claimed that he was from the Profound Sky Continent, he was still able to answer such a common knowledge question, "Our founding ancestor was the supreme of the Life and Death Profound Realm, Liu Kaishan."

Although Liu Kaishan was not his ancestor, and even had some enmity with Hun Mingdong after the founding of the dynasty. But Jing Tian still used a proud tone in response. On one hand, there is definitely a part of the performance, and on the other hand, Liu Kaishan's and his ancestor's fighting strength is truly worthy of his respect. "

Hearing his reply in such a tone, Eneru believed even more in his heart that they came from the Profound Nation.

He asked another question: "What sort of existence do you all have in mind for Liu Kaishan?"

"He is a great hero. With his help, the Emperor Blood Jade created an everlasting foundation of dynasties." Jing Tian seemed to understand what he meant as he continued to follow his words.

"Since he has such a lofty position in the hearts of the people of Xuan," Eneru's blue eyes were dry from being sick, but that did not stop the light in his eyes from shooting out, "Then why don't you all make him a god and worship him?"

"This ?" Jing Tian rubbed his nose. "I don't know about that, probably because the dynasty has a rule that other than the Emperor Blood Jade, no one is allowed to worship any founding hero as a god."

"Why not?" Eneru said in an increased tone, "More than four thousand years ago, if not for the support of the people of the world, even if the Blood Jade had an earth-shattering ability, it would not have been possible for it to establish such a large empire. What right does he have to force all the credit onto himself? Such centralization of power is such a hegemony. "

Even though he had been ostracized when he was young, he was still a prince of a country. Even if there is very little involved, there is still far more political awareness than the average person. Furthermore, he had once discussed this god's problem with his sister Qing Qing. Therefore, he had already come to this conclusion in his heart.

"If any country dares to seal their own gods, the elite troops of the dynasty will take this opportunity to attack. "As far as I know, in the history of the dynasty, this did not happen only once or twice." The answer was simple, but it was undeniable.

Eneru also agreed with this point, and said: "In terms of military strength, in the entire continent, there are probably only three Duchies that can resist the empire, the rest of the Small States s are indeed weak."

Then he changed the subject and said proudly, "But our Ten-Thousand Trees Country is different. Although in terms of land area, we are just a Small States. But our geographical position is extremely special, with one side surrounding the sea and the other three sides surrounding the mountain. There were countless trees growing on the mountain, forming a vast forest. If an army wants to attack my country, it can only march from the forest. The various deadly traps in the forest, as well as our powerful field forces, will be a head-on blow to the attackers. "

Jing Tian laughed and said: "If what you said is true, then the Ten-Thousand Trees Country should be able to break away from the dynasty's rule."

Eneru nodded his head: "That's what we did. The Ten-Thousand Trees Country has already become independent."

This time, Jing Tian was completely stunned: "You guys really broke away from the control of the empire. Even the three Duchies couldn't do something like this."

"It's not that the three Duchies are unable to do so, it's that they don't want to." Eneru earnestly corrected the shocking grammatical errors, "The dynasty has long since lost its former glory days, and there is no time to care about other people, both internally and externally. Although the three duchies are still considered to be subordinate to the Imperial City, they are being treated as an independent entity. "

He took a deep breath and continued, "They don't have to pay taxes, and they can even collect Small States's offerings, so there's no need for them to be independent. But our Ten-Thousand Trees Country does not have such treatment, every year we attack countless rare trees. But even so, the dynasty felt our offerings were too few. Why should we serve such an unsatisfied and oppressed master? "

Jing Tian had more or less understood the current situation of Ten-Thousand Trees Country, so he spread out his hands. "Political matters are not things that I can understand, the Mayor said too much, I don't understand either."

"Young man, there is no need to be modest. You already know a lot of things. " Eneru said in an indifferent tone.

Jing Tian pretended that he didn't understand what he meant, then yawned and said, "It's already very late, and the mayor is also tired. Everyone should rest early. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow. "

Eneru nodded, "Mn, everyone rest. There are indeed things to do tomorrow. "

With that, he closed his eyes. Jing Tian turned and walked out of the room. The two girls looked at each other. There was no place for them to interrupt the previous conversation. Having been in the audience for a long time, he had long since felt bored. After saying good night to each other, the two of them fell asleep on the table.

The night passed by in a flash. When the sun shined upon the broken shack, the four of them were already standing in front of the door.

"Father, your body hasn't completely recovered yet. You should rest here for a day or two before returning." Emma advised his father while supporting him.

Eneru stubbornly shook his head: "This minor ailment is nothing. I've been holed up in this shack for two nights, and I don't know what's going on in the town. If I don't hurry back, then this town would probably be made into a complete mess by that brat Arthur. "

Emma really didn't want to go back, because she didn't know how to face the knife-scarred man, Arthur. But she couldn't change her father's mind, and that dear Shumpert still hadn't appeared. What could a weak girl like her do to resist?

Supporting his father, Emma could only step by step towards the direction of the Wang Guo Town. Behind her followed the silent Shocking Sisters.

Jing Tian lowered his head, thinking about last night's conversation, and also thinking about what he should do in the future.

Wan Qing was no longer so sad, her red and swollen eyes were slowly fading away. She was looking around. Everything around her was a novelty. Although she had seen many pine trees in the valley, none of them were as tall or as tall as the others.

The towering trees could not wait to pierce through the clouds. From Emma, he found out that the names of these big trees were spruce.

Further up along the spruce, was the blue cloth called the Sky. The jade plate that had been hanging on the large cloth the night before and which was emitting a gentle light was now gone. In its place was a giant fireball, which radiated a blinding light. That thing seemed to be called the sun.

Wan Qing watched the sun closely. The blinding sunlight hurt her eyes and unknowingly, another tear fell from the corner of her eye.

In an old house in Wang Guo Town, a bald headed young man was kneeling in a room. In the center of the room, there was a spirit tablet. On it was written: Father's position as Adams. There were a few kids in the lower right corner: Unfilial son Arthur.

The baldy heavily kowtowed a few times before raising his head. A scar extended from the right side of his forehead all the way down to his left cheek. If not for the precise angle of the knife, at least one of his eyes would have been blinded.

He was the person who had captured Emma last night, Arthur.

Arthur knelt in the middle of the hall and looked at the spirit tablet. The fierce gaze from last night had disappeared, and now his face was filled with gentleness.

"Master Father, Arthur has come to see you. It must be lonely for you to be alone in your old house, your son is here to accompany you. " This gentle voice appeared from the mouth of a bald youth who was over 1.8 meters tall. It gave off a feeling of separation.

Arthur took two steps forward with his knees touching the ground, and his voice began to become ruthless. "Shumpert, that coward, is actually avoiding me, he seems to have seen through my tricks. Did he think that if he didn't want to start a fight with me, I would have no other choice? "He's wrong. Even if he doesn't accept my attack, I will definitely cause a huge ruckus."

Arthur said unwillingly: "It's a pity that I wronged Emma. Father, I really love her. She's the little girl who used to come to my house to play with me. But why does she have to be Eneru's daughter? "

At this moment, a bald man ran in from outside. He stood behind Arthur and said softly, "Boss, Eneru and Emma have returned to the town. A man and a woman, both wearing furs, followed behind us. "
