That afternoon, Xie Yuhua, the most successful female businessman in the Shang Kingdom, personally organized the wedding of the young master of the Golden Winged Dapeng and the Phoenix Princess. The wedding scene was magnificent, with several newly rising stars leading the grand theatrical performances, and the cheerful and festive music filled half of Anyang City.
In addition, phoenixes danced, golden rocs flew into the sky, and the demons sent their blessings one after another—even the Purple Light King who once admired the Phoenix Princess and the powerful eagle could only send happiness at this time. If he didn't send happiness, the Thunder King next to him would make him lose his life. The world of the demons is sometimes simple and direct.
Of course, Xie Yuhua was a businessman and would not do business at a loss. Just the items sent by Thunder King made Xie Yuhua a lot of money.
In addition, the holding of this wedding has brought huge opportunities to the Zizhu Group, allowing the Zizhu Group to gradually catch up with the Pengcheng Wanli Group in terms of influence.
The wedding was lively for the entire afternoon, bringing a bit of festive cheer to the war-torn Shang Kingdom.
But while the Shang Kingdom was celebrating, there were dark clouds in Tang Valley where the Jinwu tribe lived.
And in Shao Kingdom, west of the Shang Kingdom, the situation was even more desolate.
In Shao Kingdom, the Emperor of Shao Kingdom looked around at his ministers; not only ministers, but also envoys from surrounding countries. Everyone looked solemn, and they were all discussing one thing, which was to attack the Shang Kingdom, or even destroy it.
However, when looking around, Emperor Shao's eyes twitched when he saw the envoy from Wu.
After the Cai Kingdom was defeated and occupied by the Tang Kingdom and the Zheng Kingdom, the Emperor of the Cai Kingdom resolutely decided to flee alone and fled all the way to the Wu Kingdom. As a result, the Emperor of the Wu Kingdom was also a clever man. After discussing with the Emperor of the Cai Kingdom, he disappeared with the elite troops of the Wu Kingdom overnight. Afterwards, the power of the Wu Kingdom actually fell into the hands of the Chen people who had surrendered to the Wu Kingdom.
In other words, the current Wu State has "changed its heart" and the regime has been controlled by the Chen people.
The world is so wonderful that many changes are probably difficult to predict even for prophets—if there really are prophets in the world.
Emperor Shao paused for a moment to look at the representative of Wu, then continued to observe the representatives of the surrounding countries, and finally nodded slowly, "A total of 36 countries have come here. I thank all countries for their support and appreciate their wisdom. The Shang Kingdom has no longer concealed its ambitions. Now the Shang Kingdom has even raised the banner and excuse of "human justice" to annex the eastern part of Yingzhou. If the Shang Kingdom is determined to resist the demons, we will certainly support it; but if the Shang Kingdom wants to use this to cover up its ambitions, we disagree! We must use practical actions to tell the Shang Kingdom that we don't need ambitious people!"
"Yes, Your Majesty is right." Voices of agreement immediately arose from the surroundings.
The Shang Kingdom's recent series of actions, especially the successive swallowing of Jin, Liu, Lu, and Xing, have made the surrounding countries feel fear.
The Tang Kingdom, which was on the same front as the Shang Kingdom, had also been making moves recently. Not only was the Zheng Kingdom almost completely controlled by the Tang Kingdom, but the former territories of the Cai Kingdom and the Chen Kingdom were also all occupied by the Tang Kingdom.
Now the Shang Kingdom has a territory of about 15,000 miles and a population of at least 300 million; the Tang Kingdom has a territory of about 9,000 miles and a population of about 150 million. These two countries are like two fierce tigers appearing in the environment of the east of Yingzhou.
