Chapter 110 Did I hear that right? Japan is asking me for protection money?
Reading Settings
You can never imagine what kind of trump cards Liu Fu has up his sleeve.
You can't even imagine what Liu Fu was thinking. Did he really want to destroy you, or was he just trying to toy with you?
Destroying you will mean death.
But dying quickly can sometimes be a good thing.
If you are manipulated by Liu Fu, it is often not so pleasant; being cut by a dull knife is very painful.
The most typical example of this fate was that of the Liao emperor.
After suffering numerous blows, the Liao emperor has lost half his spirit. He has gone from an ambitious man to an old man on his deathbed, with no trace of his former ambition left.
Liu Fu is no longer hiding anything; he now has eight three-star Vajra, one Qiongqi, and one Suanni under his command, all of which are three-star mythical beasts.
In addition, there are 10 treasure-hunting rats, leading their army of rats. The total number of beasts now exceeds 20,000.
At this time, Liu Fu's points in the points mall had exceeded one million, and the points had begun to circulate positively, with some points already becoming inexhaustible.
Reputation value?
Since arriving in Liaodong, from being granted the title of king to his incognito visits and exposing the Grand Commandant Chen Jiulin, Liu Fu's reputation has spread throughout the Later Han Dynasty.
The arrival of Hai Rui, Bao Zheng, Song Ci, and Di Renjie led to the redress of numerous wrongful convictions, and Liu Fu's reputation reached new heights once again.
The destruction of the Bai and Huang families, the availability of food for the people, and the resolution of the famine all contributed to his renewed fame.
Liu Fu now has over 9 million reputation points, enough to upgrade two alien beasts to 4-star level.
The transformation from a three-star to a four-star beast is not simply a matter of a dramatic increase in size and strength, nor is it merely a matter of doubling the number of recruited beasts.
The biggest advantage of upgrading to a four-star beast is that its defensive capabilities will reach a whole new level.
Liu Fu now prefers King Kong.
The two giants in front of him, Xingqi and Xingba, each wielded a 20-meter-long, hundreds of thousands of kilograms-weight spiked club.
The other hand wields a giant 24-meter-long battle axe. These two, one with a spiked club and the other with a giant axe, are more terrifying than two door gods combined when they stand in front of the door.
Liu Fu wants to upgrade his two King Kongs, but it seems unnecessary to upgrade them now, and he doesn't know what to do with them.
"So having too much reputation can be a real headache, huh?"
When Xiaoshan City was breached, the appearance of the colossal Vajra immediately shocked all the people in the city...
This was the first time Liu Fu had publicly shown this guy, and the sensation it caused was so great that it sent shockwaves through the entire Liaodong region!
In the Han capital.
At this moment, Liu Laowu encountered a situation that made him curse the other party in his heart, almost bringing the other party's ancestors back to life from their graves.
"Damn you, you little dwarf, these Japanese bastards are like a bunch of leeches, they're never going to stop, are they?"
Just now, Liu Laowu received a report that his seventh brother, Liu Jia, the Prince of Ping, had his fiefdom in the southeast, which was the very place where the Japanese had repeatedly invaded, burned, killed, and looted.
Liu Fu, this seventh brother, was someone who started leading troops into battle more than ten years ago when Liu Laowu rebelled.
Before leaving, Liu Fu bought a copy of General Qi Jiguang's anti-Japanese battle formation, the Mandarin Duck Formation, from the points mall and gave it to his seventh brother, Liu Jia.
Liu Jia had always disliked the Japanese pirates. After arriving in the southeast, he discovered the wonderful use of the Mandarin Duck Formation after a battle, and immediately raised troops to fight against the Japanese pirates.
In the past few months, three waves of Japanese pirates landed in succession, but all of them were defeated and killed by the elite troops led by Liu Jia.
In addition, when Liu Fu was still in the Han capital, the Japanese soldier Shi Chen caused trouble in the Later Han court and was dragged out and beheaded by Liu Fu.
These accumulated grievances made the Japanese emperor arrogant and once again sent an envoy with a declaration of war, joining forces with the Later Jin and the Linren Kingdom to pressure the Later Han.
At this moment, the envoys from the three kingdoms were waiting outside, wanting to see Liu Laowu.
In the past, Liu Laowu would have been extremely troubled and would have spent half a day frowning, not knowing how to resolve this matter.
But things are very different now.
Ever since Liu Fu showed him the exotic beasts from the animal breeding ranch, Liu Laowu is more confident than ever before. He's become more confident in being the emperor, and he's full of confidence every time he goes to court. He dares to speak his mind, and people he wouldn't have dared to offend before, he now dares to offend them all.
Today at court, Liu Laowu acted all high and mighty as usual.
As soon as he sat down in the Golden Palace, he immediately gave the following orders:
"What matters do you officials have to report?"
"Your Majesty, envoys from the Later Jin, Japan, and the Linren Kingdom are waiting outside the palace, carrying their official documents and golden books. They request that Your Majesty grant them an audience first."
Old Liu was furious:
"What the hell are they? Who do they think they are?"
"Leave them for last. If there are any matters of state to discuss today, please submit your memorials first."
The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Lord Zhang, what's wrong with His Majesty lately? Why does he suddenly seem so confident?"
"Who knows? She's not as gloomy as before."
"My lords," I said, "I think His Majesty looks more like this now, truly embodying imperial majesty. He suffered far too much before."
"Yes, we all lived a very stifling life in the past, from ordinary people to us ministers. Not to mention us ministers, even our emperor lived a very stifling life!"
"Now we can finally hold our heads high!"
…………
Liu Laowu listened silently to the whispers of the officials below. If it were any other time, he would have stopped them long ago.
But today, these words feel so satisfying!
Where did the courage come from?
My son gave it to me!
Liu Laowu was secretly pleased. He spent the entire day dealing with court affairs, from morning until noon.
The envoys from the three kingdoms had been waiting there for a long time, and inevitably their hostility grew. In addition, Liu Fu was no longer in the court. As long as Liu Fu was not there, who were they afraid of?
Even if it were Emperor Liu Laowu, they wouldn't be afraid. This emperor would just sit on the throne all day with a gloomy face, sighing and complaining.
After discussing it, the three envoys decided not to wait any longer and forced their way into the Golden Palace, just like the first time the Liao envoys came to demand that the Later Han Dynasty submit and pay tribute. They pushed open the guards outside the palace gates and forced their way in.
"You're always discussing politics, what about our business?"
"Yeah, are we going to do it or not?"
"Let us tell you, the emperor of the Later Han Dynasty has delayed the important affairs of the Three Kingdoms. We will raise an army to jointly attack the Later Han Dynasty, so you better watch out!"
Seeing that these envoys from the three kingdoms were so arrogant again, Liu Laowu, who had previously lacked confidence, had indulged them.
This time, with Liu Fu's support, they couldn't bear it!
"Fuck you, I'm over fifty years old, and I can't even handle you three bastards?"
Liu Laowu immediately gave the order:
"Someone, sew their mouths shut first, then cut off their ears and sew them onto their buttocks!"
