Chapter 214: Xiao Yu's Ambition

Xiao Yu sneered in his heart, it seems that the city lord of the three states in the southern region is not a good bird!

Tao Zheng said helplessly: "These merchants basically come to the southern region from the capital to do business, and many good things will be transported to the capital. I have even heard that the green-grade spiritual skills flowing out of the black market are even There are quite a few young people, but all of them have returned to the Southern Region, so now people from other regions dare not come to the Southern Region."

Xiao Yu sneered in his heart, no wonder the royal family wanted to conquer the Southern Region.

Just imagine, the capital is the center of the dynasty, but the Southern Region secretly did these things that harmed the royal family. How could the royal family be willing?

If those high-grade spiritual techniques, treasures, and other cultivation resources were exiled to the capital, they would definitely enhance the overall strength of the capital, but they were swallowed up by Nanyu himself.

Southern Domain is Yanran's own independent place!

Tang Ling'er frowned, and said, "They don't dare to be so blatant, do they? What about offering?"

"It's easy to make offerings. The city lords of the three cities spend only one-tenth of the merchants' property that they raid every year, which is enough for them to hand over for a year."

"Isn't the Southern Region rich and invincible?" Xiao Yu said suddenly.

"Yes, the royal family once increased the amount of consecration in the Southern Region, but during that time, as long as the merchants who came to the three states of the Southern Region to do business, all of them were trapped. They robbed them as soon as they came. The city lord is also cooperating with bandits and villains of some small powers. As long as the royal family increases taxes and offerings, the three states will increase their robbery. I remember that in a year or two, the royal family directly increased the amount of offerings by 50%. The city lords of the three states were forced to secretly send people to burn, kill and plunder other places outside the Southern Region, and those local officials jointly reported it, which forced the royal family to compromise and resume tax collection, and it has continued until now."

"Boom!"

Xiao Yu's face was very cold, and he smashed the table into powder with one palm.

"The so-called city lords of the three states are actually a gang of robbers! They are so powerful that they can force the royal family to compromise. No wonder the royal family is afraid of the Southern Region!"

It's not right to send troops, it's not right not to send troops, that's why they were sent here to clean up this mess.

If it is successfully cleaned up, the royal family will eliminate a hidden danger.

And if he is unsuccessful, Xiao Yu will bring about a murderous disaster and help the royal family get rid of Xiao Yu in a disguised form.

Of course Xiao Yu was not helping the royal family, he just didn't expect people from the Southern Region to do such a thing, because the injured were ordinary people.

Tang Ling'er was not interested in governing these dynastic matters, but when she heard Tao Zheng say that, she was filled with righteous indignation.

"Guard Tao, it's getting late, prepare food for us, I'll tell you later if I have something to do." Xiao Yu said.

Seeing Xiao Yu's anger just now, Tao Zheng was a little surprised at the latter's strength, but he still took the order.

"These guys absolutely need to be governed, but not too much." Tang Linger analyzed calmly.

"That's right," Xiao Yu also took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, "The purpose of the queen is to use my hand to control this place, but if it goes too far, it will offend them, and I may be punished by the queen." They kill, and I cannot do what the Queen wishes."

"Then what are you going to do?"

Xiao Yu's heart moved, his eyes narrowed, and he said, "There is only one way to make the queen's plan come to nothing, and at the same time let me have the strength to fight against the queen."

Tang Ling'er was stunned, and said, "You want to rule the three southern states?"
