Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, he asked softly, "What's going on outside? What do those people want to see me for?"
"They want to use the teleportation array!" Qingyan replied, "The teleportation array is guarded by General Zou, and they don't have His Majesty's warrant."
"Zou Yun is doing things, I'm quite at ease." Zhou Lihua looked at Qingyan combing her hair in the bronze mirror and said, "Wait a few days, you can go to Zhongyu first!"
"Your Majesty, what about you?"
"Zhen?" Zhou Lihua said hesitantly, "Let's wait a little longer!"
"Your Majesty, don't count on Zhongyu's support!" Qingyan persuaded, "The leaders of those aristocratic families have seen through it. After so long, if Zhongyu really wanted to help us, they would have sent someone over a long time ago. Yes, Sister Qinyu has already told you to come over early."
"Um!"
Zhou Lihua responded in a low voice.
Anyone could hear the depression in her heart.
"If your majesty doesn't go there, your majesty should stay for a while longer! Sister Qinyu is gone. If your majesty leaves again, your majesty won't have any useful people on hand!"
"I really don't lack those few people!"
Qingyan smiled and said nothing more.
After finishing her bun, Qingyan carefully modified it again: "Your Majesty, what do you think?"
"Very good! Are you the first one to help me brush my hair? You really put your heart into it!" Looking at the woman in the mirror, Zhou Lihua was very satisfied, but then she had doubts, "Did Qin Yu teach you?"
"Yes! Sister Qinyu taught me before leaving!"
"I think your method is very familiar."
Zhou Lihua stood up, Ye Qingyan hurriedly opened the door curtain, and there were densely packed tents all over the sky, near the outer edge of the Nanjue Mountains, probably nearly ten million people gathered.
Moreover, many people continue to come here.
Coming to the temporary palace, Zhou Lihua met the heads of those aristocratic families.
Of course, the temporary construction of the palace is not gorgeous and exquisite, and Zhou Lihua didn't care too much about it. Now they are fleeing.
The main hall is a bit cramped, and more than 300 people crowded it to the brim.
Everyone wisely arranged the order according to the level of strength and influence. When Zhou Lihua came in, many people saluted Zhou Lihua.
But many of them don't have much respect in their eyes.
Maybe, in their eyes, Zhou Lihua is a lost dog!
If it wasn't for Zhou Lihua's strength to still have some deterrent power, these aristocratic families might not even pay attention to her.
Sitting on the dragon chair, Zhou Lihua looked at them and asked, "Why are you here this time?"
The dragon chair she was sitting on was the one that Zhou Lihua brought out from the palace hall.
"Your Majesty, we need the teleportation array to leave the Southern Region!" Someone stood up and said loudly.
As soon as someone spoke up, others followed suit.
"Your Majesty, the royal family has been using the teleportation array for a long time, now it's time for us to use it!"
"That's right, the demons are about to attack, Your Majesty must think about us, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, please open up the right to use the teleportation array!"
…
Zhou Lihua thought about it, and she had no reason to stop them.
For so long, the teleportation formation has been under her control. Many Zhou families, as well as families and sects loyal to the Zhou family, have sent many people to the central region.
However, other forces that had nothing to do with the Zhou royal family were rarely able to leave.
When disaster loomed, of course she chose to save her own people.
Of course, even if this is the case, there are only more than a thousand people who have been able to leave the southern region through the teleportation array for so long.
Among the more than 1,000 people, most of them are young children with good martial arts talents, and a small number of masters in the family and sect. If they want to gain a firm foothold in the unfamiliar Central Territory, they must have strength.
However, even if more than a thousand people have left, the number is still too small.
Many slightly larger families with a slightly longer inheritance have more than a thousand people.
For those few places, there were countless open and secret struggles among the clans close to the Zhou royal family.
Why didn't Zhou Lihua send away people from the Southern Region in large numbers
The reason is very simple, that is, the burden of spirit stones is too great!
Once the teleportation array is activated, only three people can be teleported at a time, and tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones are needed, which is not something ordinary families can afford.
This kind of consumption is already very abnormal.
But this is not something the formation masters of the Southern Territory can solve.
According to the records of countless array mages in the Southern Region, for thousands of years, the consumption of spirit stones needed to start the teleportation array has been increasing, probably because the teleportation array has been damaged and has not been repaired and maintained.
The remaining array mages in the southern region simply don't have the ability to repair the teleportation array!
Zhou Lihua said lightly: "Okay, you guys go, 20,000 spirit stones are sent once, three people at a time!"
"Your Majesty, isn't the price...too high?" the head of the Kamikaze Sect said in embarrassment.
Almost every top power knows the cost of teleportation leading to the central teleportation array.
Because some of their elders went out from there.
The price is directly doubled!
No top power can withstand it.
Even if it costs 10,000 spirit stones to teleport, they can only bring a small number of important people in the trend force. Now the teleportation price is doubled, which means they have to choose to give up half of the people again!
Half of the elite...they can't afford it anyway!
Zhou Lihua stood up slowly, drew out the red blood sword and said, "I don't accept a counter-offer!"
There was a sudden silence in the hall.
Faced with this kind of robbery, the leaders of many forces looked at each other, but none of them dared to speak out.
"Master Qu is in the ruins, they just hand over the spirit stone to him!"
After finishing speaking, Zhou Lihua left directly, no one blocked Zhou Lihua's way.
After leaving the temporary palace, Zhou Lihua glanced at the tent in the sky again, but did not speak.
She knew that on the outskirts of the camp, there might be countless civilians gathered there.
But Zhou Lihua didn't dare to visit them.
I'm afraid they will be very desperate!
No one wants such a disaster to happen.
But what can she do
Kill all the demons by one person
Zhou Lihua is a rational person and never dreams.
She is not only the queen of Zhou, but also the patriarch of the Zhou family.
She can't save everything, she can only choose to save herself and as many clansmen and subordinates as possible.
Zhou Lihua didn't care about the issue of who would send first and who would send later, and they would naturally make an order.
As long as they hand in enough spirit stones, that's fine.
After stepping on Yuzhu, Zhou Lihua still felt more comfortable here.
The space is small, and it gets dark when the curtain is closed.
For some reason, she suddenly likes this dark and claustrophobic environment recently.
At the same time, on the edge of the real southern region of the mainland, an uninvited guest ushered in a relic cave near the central region.
The moment the two of them stepped into the cave, Jiang Qinyu was alerted!
Jiang Qinyu came out of the cave and asked vigilantly, "Who are you?"
"This is the senior of the Seven Absolute Sects!"
