"Master, Zhao Hai is already preparing gifts, but when I first told him about this matter, I saw that his face was a little gloomy, and then although he didn't show any anger, it seemed that he was still a little dissatisfied. "Chen Xiwang stood in front of Wei Xiaode and talked about his meeting with Zhao Hai. Of course, it was impossible for him to tell the truth.

Wei Xiaode nodded and said, "Okay, then has he said what kind of gift he is going to give this time?"

Chen Xiwang shook his head and said: "Zhao Hai didn't say this, and the disciples don't know either." Wei Xiaode nodded, then waved his hand, and Chen Xiwang withdrew.

As soon as Chen Xiwang left, Wei Xiaode immediately called Ma Degong into the room. After Ma Degong arrived, Wei Xiaode said: "Degong, there won't be any mistakes in Shensha Lake, right? I'm the one this time. I have already told His Majesty that there will never be any problems there, and if there is a problem there, then I will be embarrassed."

Ma Degong said quickly: "Master, don't worry, there will be no problem. Master, these are gifts prepared by the Crocodile Clan. Look, these are the same as those presented to His Majesty, except that I asked them to prepare two copies and one for us." Keep it for yourself and dedicate the other one to His Majesty." After speaking, Ma Degong took out a space bag and handed it to Wei Xiaode.

Wei Xiaode couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard what Ma Degong said, and then he nodded immediately. Then he took the space bag directly, opened the space bag and took a look, and then tied the space bag. , and then said to Ma Degong: "Very good, the Crocodile people are still very capable, just prepare according to this, don't make any mistakes, it will be time to give gifts in a few days, don't lose anyone. "Ma Degong responded, and Wei Xiaode waved his hand.

Soon, it’s time to give gifts. This gift is a process of giving gifts to the Immortal Emperor every year from local officials and military generals. Everyone has to give gifts, and sometimes, what is the meaning of the gifts you give? Or the degree of preciousness may directly affect your status in the heart of the Immortal Emperor. This is also an old habit here in the Immortal World.

To be honest, Zhao Hai really doesn't understand the significance of this habit. In order to give this gift, officials at all levels need to spend a lot of thought on this gift, and this gift cannot be less, and the value cannot be low. Some For this gift, officials must collect money. Where does this money come from? Of course it came from ordinary people, so besides adding burdens to ordinary people and giving the Immortal Emperor some face, he really couldn't see what other benefits this gift had.

But this is already the practice in the fairy world, and he can't say anything. This time, Zhao Hai is not going to come up with anything too good. He is only going to come up with twelve fruit core armors as gifts. This fruit core armor is The armor has now been upgraded and is better than the fruit core armor in the virtual world. This fruit core armor can now transmit spiritual energy, and the transmission speed of spiritual energy is very fast. It is also more effective for strengthening the monks' power. It's so strong that it's absolutely no problem to use it as a gift.

On the day of the gift presentation, Zhao Hai also returned to the Immortal Capital from the Twelve Guards, but he did not bring too many people with him, and he did not come back on behalf of the Twelve Guards, he came back on behalf of the Blood Killing Sect. Yes, this time he only brought ten disciples of the Blood Killing Sect and returned to the Immortal Capital. Moreover, he also had his own place to live in the Immortal Capital, so he was not in a hurry.

Wen Wenhai and the others did not come, and they did not need to come. Although Wen Wenhai and the others are now considered independent leaders, they are actually still members of the Blood Killing Sect, so Zhao Hai can come alone to represent him, and others do not need to. Come back.

As soon as Zhao Hai returned to Xiandu, Chen Xiwang came to the manor. This time it was Wei Xiaode who sent Chen Xiwang. Chen Xiwang came here mainly to tell Zhao Hai some gift-giving procedures and let Zhao Hai know what to do.

In fact, the process of giving gifts is very simple, and the gifts also vary in size. Some people give a lot of gifts, like the Crocodile tribe, because they control Chensha Lake, and there are many specialties in the water in Chensha Lake. They present these things every year, so the gifts they give are limited to quantity.

As for some officials, the gifts they give are not about quantity but quality. The gift you give should be good. It doesn’t necessarily have to cost more or how expensive it is. It is okay if it is novel enough. In this regard, it is There are no hard and fast rules.

But in recent years, a bad trend has arisen in the fairy world. No one cares about whether the gifts are novel or not. Maybe they have given out all the novel gifts, so now they have no choice but to give them away, so they can only give them to Guigui. We have worked hard on this aspect, so now every year we give gifts to the Immortal Emperor, it is a competition to see who gives the most valuable gift, and nothing more.

Although it is said that the Immortal Emperor is at odds with He Tuizhi and the others above the court, gifts must be given because it is an ancestral system. If something goes wrong when they present the gift, then the Immortal Emperor can If you deal with them directly, even He retreat will not be able to protect him.

Today is the time for the annual gift giving. Zhao Hai also went to court today. There were more people giving gifts today, but some local officials sent the gifts to the Immortal Palace in advance, and then went to present the gifts. At that time, they were meeting, and the official read the gift list and that was it.

There are not many officials who are truly qualified to stand in the lobby, or directly enter the lobby with gifts, and Zhao Hai is one of these people. Don't forget, Zhao Hai now also has the title of Minister of War. And even if you don't mention this title, he is still the commander of the Twelve Guards and the Four Guards City Army. Although no one takes this position seriously now, this position was very important at the beginning, and there was not even a single person there. In terms of commanding the Twelve Guards, the generals of the Twelve Guards can all be ranked in the imperial class, so no matter from which aspect, Zhao Hai is qualified to stand in the hall, and his position is very high, standing right in front of him. Behind the two prime ministers and Samurai Ying, the Minister of War.

Before Zhao Hai and others entered the hall, they would give their gifts to the internal officials, who would check them and then record them. These gifts were held by the internal officials. They could not take them directly to the hall by themselves, but they could shout When they are here, the eunuchs will deliver their gifts directly to the hall for everyone to see, and then they will be taken into the palace.

Zhao Hai has now stood in the hall and has begun to give gifts, but now the gifts are all officials from various places. They give all kinds of gifts, some are based on quantity, some are based on quality, and the gifts are There are all kinds of things, but generally speaking, they are all common things, but some are more expensive and some are more numerous.

The crocodile clan members also sent gifts. The gift list was very long. It was obvious that the Immortal Emperor was very satisfied. Yue Zhuo was also slapped on the head by the Immortal Emperor and then exited the hall. Because there were many people giving gifts, they continued for two rounds. After more than an hour, the gifts from the landlords were finally over.

When the local officials' gifts were over, it was time for the people in the court to begin to give gifts. The gifts started with some low-level officials, and finally it was the turn of people like the left and right ministers, so Zhao Hai had to continue to wait. He looked at those people Most of the gifts sent were flashy things. Even if those things were presented to the Immortal Emperor, they would probably only be left in the warehouse to eat dust. But it is impossible to say that these gifts are not valuable. These gifts are still very valuable, but they are not practical.

Zhao Hai also understood that this might be what He Tuizhi and the others did intentionally. If the gifts they gave to the Immortal Emperor were all valuable and useful things, wouldn't that mean they had increased the Immortal Emperor's strength in disguise? They would not do such a thing, and precisely because of this, the gifts they gave were all these flashy things.

Of course, from this point, we can also see how far they have restricted the power of the Immortal Emperor when they retreated. They have even thought of using this method to limit the power of the Immortal Emperor. It can be said that There really is no limit to what you can do.

However, Zhao Hai just watched quietly. He was a lonely minister in the court now, and no one would pay attention to them. Zhao Hai also knew that there must be officials in the court who belonged to the Immortal Emperor. People from the first line, but these people have not shown it, so now Zhao Hai is the only one who publicly reveals his identity as an Immortal Emperor in the court.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Hai stands here. No one talks to him or pays attention to him. Everyone treats him as nothing. Zhao Hai does not care, just stands there quietly, even His eyes were closed, as if he was asleep. Without saying anything else, just this mentality was enough to make people admire him.

Soon, the officials of the court came forward one by one to offer gifts, and the last remaining ones were all senior officials. At this time, the internal official loudly said: "Secretary of the Ministry of War, Commander of the Twelve Guards and the Four Cities Guards, Zhao Hai presents as a gift, twelve pieces of fruit core armor." Following his voice, Zhao Hai went out of duty and paid homage to the Immortal Emperor. This is a procedure that everyone must follow.

At this time, a chamberlain also walked in. He was holding a tray in his hand. On the tray, there was a piece of yellow silk. On top of the yellow silk, there were twelve cyan. Fruit pits, these fruit pits are not big, and they are all listed. There is really nothing good about them.

Just after Zhao Hai paid his respects, he heard the voice of the Immortal Emperor: "Zhao Hai, this thing you gave is called the Fruit Core Armor? What is its use?" After saying that, the Immortal Emperor waved his hand, and the chamberlain immediately He held the tray up to the high platform and gave the tray in his hand to Wei Xiaode. Wei Xiaode took the tray and placed it in front of the Immortal Emperor.

Zhao Hai said: "Replying to your majesty, this fruit core armor is a magical weapon. It is made of a kind of wood that I accidentally obtained before. This kind of wood has a strong regeneration ability, and it is good for spiritual energy. The conductivity of the armor is also very strong. I used this kind of wood to make this kind of fruit core armor. As long as I input spiritual energy into the armor, I can activate the armor. The height of this armor can reach about two feet. After wearing this battle armor, your defense will be strengthened, and this battle armor also has the ability to strengthen your strength. Wearing this battle armor will also greatly enhance your spells and save a lot of spiritual energy. It is a A kind of armor that is very suitable for combat."
