The bald dragon's words were so jumping that Yao Yun didn't react for a while.

Seeing this, Wu Tong said slowly:

"According to previous regulations, the barbarian tribes must pay regular tribute to Xidu, and their hunting income also needs to pay a certain tax. Last year, King Xuan exempted their taxes before his departure, and this year he needs to pay taxes."

When Yao Yun heard this, he also understood what was going on.

No wonder last year the barbarian tribe couldn't wait to test the reality of Xidu. It turned out that it was not to leave Xidu, but to not pay taxes in the coming year!

Yao Yun was quite proud before, and he successfully attacked the Barbarian Tribe, but now it seems that the Barbarian Tribe is not stupid, at least they have achieved their goal.

Xi Du did not send powerful Qi Refining Men, and the army taught them a lesson. This undoubtedly gave the barbarian tribe a signal. Xi Du's strength was indeed much worse than before. The news that Xi Du Xuan King and his elite troops were all lost was extremely credible.

"Second Elder, what do you think?"

Yao Yun did not express his opinion, but asked Wu Tong back.

Wu Tong smiled: "Now the barbarian tribe must know that Xidu is not as strong as before. They will not rebel for the time being, but they will not be as obedient as before."

Yao Yun nodded: "In other words, if the order is released from Xi, it will be useless? These barbarian tribes will definitely disobey the situation, and there is no question about paying taxes."

“That’s exactly that!”

Yao Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head. When Xi was strong before, his father gave the order, and all the barbarian tribes must be obedient and follow their orders. When he was just in charge, he would be nothing.

After all, it's a matter of strength.

The bald dragon suddenly said again: "Criminal, don't think too much. You can send Cangman to small and medium-sized tribes to collect taxes. The big tribe will turn a blind eye!"

Yao Yun was quite unwilling to accept it: "Wouldn't that lonely man's prestige be greatly reduced?"

Bald Dragon: "Do you have prestige?"

Yao Yun: "..."

Yao Yun was speechless, bald dragon, very bad.

However, Yao Yun's thinking is very jumpy and does not care about the bald dragon. Instead, he remembers the battle in the mine and suddenly said: "Second elder, I think that when fighting, it is the Qi Refiner who decides the trend of a battle. The ordinary armored soldiers have a little effect. Since that's the case, why do you have to raise so many troops?"

The second elder looked at Yao Yun in surprise: "The king has good opinions. Qi Refiners can indeed decide the outcome of the battle. It seems that the army has no effect, but in fact there are differences between the army. A truly powerful army does not dare to collide easily, and it can accidentally take the life of Qi Refiners."

Yao Yun's pupils shrank and he said anxiously: "There is also such an army! We Xi doesn't have it? Logically speaking, Xi wasn't quite powerful before."

The bald dragon interrupted at this time, "Yes, but King Xuan took it away."

Yao Yun was speechless, the bald dragon was really annoying. He was forcibly interrupted by the bald dragon before he could lift it up. Yao Yun did not give up and asked, "Then how to train such a powerful army?"

Wu Tong nodded and said, "Formation, an army that has mastered the military formation. Even if the soldiers are just ordinary warriors, they can still communicate the vitality of heaven and earth. At that time, the combat effectiveness of this army soldier will be quite similar. Qi Refiners must consider their strength alone."

Yao Yun nodded repeatedly, feeling that it made sense. He also had speculations in this regard at the beginning, but now it has been confirmed, and he was ecstatic: "Since this is the case, why didn't the second elder say it earlier? I've been worried about Gu for a long time. What about the formation? Let Gu see."

When Wu Tong heard this, he immediately smiled awkwardly, while the bald dragon smiled disdainfully.

Yao Yun had an unknown premonition in an instant.

Wu Tong said slowly: "I have a formation, but it is not a military formation for training troops. Military formations are quite rare. They have always been good at Wu Heng, but I can't do it!"

Second Elder, you are too salty fish, you are even more salty than me!

Yao Yun was about to cry without tears, but he didn't give up and asked, "Has the army formation for the great elder general trained to stay?"

Wu Tong shook his head apologetically: "How can such a precious secret technique be left at will? If they succeed, everything is easy to say. If they fail, the prince will not be of great use. Keeping it will be a waste, and introducing covetousness..."

The confused second elder Wu Tong recalled the past and unknowingly used the original words.

But it became embarrassing to say it in front of Yao Yun.

This is too true! Yao Yun smiled bitterly with an awkward look on his face, and the bald dragon was already in a state of fury.

The second elder also reflected in a daze, his old face turned red and he was extremely embarrassed.

"King, I didn't mean that. I meant that I didn't know that the prince was promising at that time, and I felt very sorry."

Yao Yun waved his hand, not wanting to care, and couldn't care: "Forget it, forget it, the second elder, I understand!"

Yao Yun was a little disappointed. He wanted to use training to expand Xidu's strength, but unfortunately his hope was shattered.

Yao Yun suddenly remembered the magical power of "Ten Thousand Ghosts Come to the Banner" again, as if this magical power is quite suitable for practicing the ghost army.

At present, there are a hundred ghosts who surrender in the banners that come to pay homage. A hundred ghosts form an army, and their combat power is comparable to first-class Qi Refiners. If there is a military formation for training, then the power will be even greater and the future will be promising.

The only pity is that without the formation of training, neither Xidu's army nor the army of ghosts could be practiced.

The barbarian tribes paid tribute and taxes undoubtedly ran aground. Yao Yun was relatively a bachelor, and there must be a way before the car arrived at the mountain. Just take one step at a time.

According to Bald Dragon, he had no prestige at all. If he lowered his posture, he would be able to say anything. When he had trained troops in the fields and trained troops, he would directly beat all the barbarian tribes. If he didn't believe that they could still go to heaven, but he would not succeed.

Until the end of the talks, Yao Yun did not tell the story of "Ten Thousand Ghosts Come to the Banner" to both of them. He was a steady person and never boasted about things that were not sure about.

Although with his order, the ghosts in the mine would come to hear the news and fight for him, no one knew whether these ghosts and monsters had the combat power of powerful Qi Refiners. Yao Yun didn't want to speak nonsense, but just regarded this as a trump card.

You must have a trump card at all times, and you need it even more as a king.

January passed, and Xidu was peaceful. The nine-tailed fox monster was indeed as the second elder said, and did not join forces to invade the iron mine and Xidu.

Yao Yun has never been lazy in this winter. He practiced diligently every day and his cultivation has steadily improved. Now he has reached the realm of the power of his mind and spirit outlined the nine great witches, only one step away from the realm of great success.

After taking this step, Yao Yun will be qualified to attack Qi Refiner, and by then, a new world will be opened for him.

Even the barbarian tribes are powerful qi refiners as leaders, and only the king who becomes a qi refiner is the king who stands tall and speaks the same.

Yao Yun has been looking forward to this for a long time.

Last year, Yao Yun's goal was to achieve the cultivation of "The Ten Witches of Lingshan" after the beginning of spring, and it is expected to impact the realm of Qi Refiner. Although it has not been completely achieved, it is still considered unsatisfactory, and at least half of the goal has been achieved.

Spring is coming quietly, snow-capped mountains melt, glaciers thaw, everything sprouts, the whole world is completely renewed, and Xidu has also ushered in a new year.

Yao Yun has a vague expectation for many new changes, and life will not be so boring.
