After Yu Chen's story was finished, the atmosphere couldn't help but fall into a long silence.

Yu Ling thought of Nan Yanhe's heartless appearance, as if nothing mattered, and it was difficult to overlap him with the child who was crying and laughing. From him, outsiders can only see the mask of drunken gold and indulgence in enjoyment, but cannot see the heart that burns with the fire of revenge and is torn bloody.

It wasn't until this handsome face was integrated into his instincts and into his blood and bones that he was able to survive with great difficulty in the cracks of the princes to this day. And during this period, the slightest hint of hatred, the slightest hint of disobedience, will cause him to be destroyed.

After all, his father and grandfather were so powerful, once the princes did not like it, they would change it if they wanted to, and how could he be in the south of the Yanhe? Even if he was humbly surviving, as long as he lived, there was hope.

"Lord Yunmeng, His Majesty the King of the South trusts you, and I am willing to tell you the truth frankly, I am very pleased that you have chosen the royal family between the princes and the royal family, Your Majesty is a person of great gratitude, as long as the situation improves in the future, he will definitely do his best to repay you." Yu Chen said slowly.

Yu Ling understood what he meant, and said in a deep voice, "I will also do my best to help the royal family." However, I hope you can be cautious about the matter of the seventeenth generation of the Southern King, after all, the location of the mountain gate of the Fire Refining Sect is already secret, and they have at least three powerhouses in the Immortal Realm, how to say that they are also first-class great sects in the Northern Realm, I am afraid that they are much stronger than any of the twelve great dukes. ”

"I have already advised Your Majesty, but ...... Is there really no chance?" Yu Chen looked at Yu Ling with blazing eyes.

"Yes, but we have to wait. Yu Ling said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister Yu should have heard that Xue Feng is the sworn enemy of the Fire Refining Sect. I have already told them how to enter the Great Wilderness Star, and when the time is right, they will attack the Fire Refining Sect in a big way. After all, the current northern border is like a tight string, as long as a little force is added, it will completely collapse. ”

Yu Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "If that's the case, then it's acceptable." Your Majesty is not afraid to wait, and I don't care about the past ten or eight years. It's just that...... Seventeen generations of southern kings have suffered. ”

His voice was full of helpless melancholy, Yu Ling could understand Yu Chen's mood, considering that the other party had revealed many secret things, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Maybe Senior Nan can get out of trouble on his own, he ...... The first half of the recipe has been derived, and once it is completed, it may be beyond the imperishable and above the true path. ”

Yu Ling is not good at saying that the ancient desolate secret is in his hands, after all, he and Yu Chen have met for the first time, although the other party has no reason to sell him, but it is impossible for Yu Ling to tell such a big secret to a person who is not very familiar.

"I hope so. Yu Chen was stunned for a while.

"Prime Minister Yu should have something else to do with me, right?" asked Yu Ling again.

Yu Chen bowed slightly: "I wonder how well the Cloud Alliance Lord understands the situation in the southern realm?"

Yu Ling smiled faintly: "I've been doing my homework for the past few days, it's almost over, and the situation is as bad as I thought, so Prime Minister Yu doesn't have to worry about me being hit." ”

Yu Chen couldn't help but laugh and said: "The Cloud Alliance Master is really humorous, anyway, you are still young, it doesn't hurt to do more challenging things, it's a big deal that I will let out this old bone to toss with you young people." ”

After the dull atmosphere eased slightly, Yu Chen continued: "I ask a straightforward question, I hope the Cloud Alliance Master doesn't mind, for everyone's sake, you are too tired and I am tired." ”

"Prime Minister, please speak. Yu Ling vaguely guessed something.

"How are you and your people going to help?Or, in what ways can you help?" Yu Chen looked directly into Yu Ling's eyes, although his demeanor was still gentle, he had a little more majesty that had been in a high position for a long time.

Yu Ling said calmly: "If you rely on the strength of a few of us alone, it will naturally be useless, but according to what I have learned, the treasury of the Great Southern Kingdom seems to be a little tight at present, right?"

Yu Chen smiled bitterly: "It's not now, it's been like this for hundreds of years, the royal family is poor and white, but it has fattened those princes, it can only be said that from the beginning of the founding of the country, the position of the Southern Emperor was reduced to the Southern King, and it was already doomed." In the past two years, the financial situation has improved slightly, and there is a surplus of 17 or 8 million yuan a year, but it is a drop in the bucket at all, so where can we attract talent?"

Yu Ling was speechless for a while, more than 10 million star coins sounded like a lot, but if you think about it, this is the annual treasury income of a country, even if it is as closed as the Fire Refining Sect, it will not be so poor, I am afraid that any prince is much richer than the royal family.

"The stars with a little bit of resources have all been occupied by the princes, and only the Southern Phoenix Star and the surrounding planets have been squeezed clean by them are left to the royal family, and the big chamber of commerce in the south is basically under their control, and it is almost impossible to open up the financial route. Yu Chen said a little tiredly.

"But there shouldn't be many chambers of commerce that do business with the North, right?" Yu Ling said at the right time.

Yu Chen was stunned, and immediately understood what Yuling meant: "Is the Cloud Alliance Lord trying to help us open up this road?"

"Yes, it's good for both of us, I can expand the market further to the south, and you can get out of the current situation. Although there are many martial artists in the northern realm, what is needed is Xuan power resources, and there are many qi refiners in the southern realm, which require spiritual power resources, but in the western realm, both resources are available, and they are very abundant. Yu Ling smiled slightly.

"That's a feasible solution...... Yu Chen stroked his long beard and thought.

"Of course, Prime Minister Yu may think that I am just an emerging force, and I may not have the ability to turn the tide, but since the operation of the Western Passage, the income of Western Union has been climbing every day, and we made a profit last month...... That's about 40 million net gains. Of course, as soon as the salary is paid, there is not much left on my hand, but this is at least a testament to the potential of Western Union. I don't think there's a second northern force that can go straight to the west for the time being. Yuling said lightly.

When Yu Chen heard "40 million", his eyebrows couldn't help but tremble, and he subconsciously asked, "You say...... Is this a month's worth of your earnings?

"Yes, the net profit after deducting the operation and maintenance costs of the teleportation array, as well as the cost of commodity production, and so on. ”

"This ......" Yu Chen really didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Yuling couldn't bear to tell him that people like Huayun Valley and the six major families had a monthly income of at least hundreds of millions, but this was too cruel for the royal family, which only had an income of more than 10 million per year.

Yu Ling could only change the topic quietly: "If the royal family needs the support of star coins, I can withdraw 20 million now, but I suggest that if there is no urgency, it is better to slowly expand cooperation, so that you can get more stable income, and when the time comes, when the funds are sufficient, many things will be able to show your strength." ”

He thought for a while, and then said: "But far water can't quench the thirst of the near, what I said above is a long-term plan, as far as the current situation is concerned, let's prepare for the Spirit Array Exchange Meeting first, and strive to win the first place in the rookie group." I have a friend who has 'created' many exquisite formations, if Lin Shu doesn't mind, he can actually use her ...... directly."

Yu Ling thought of Xue Qingling as he spoke, the formation from the Daoyu Galaxy would definitely be able to crush the Southern Realm, and it only needed to be slightly modified to ensure that others would not recognize it. Although Xue Qingling herself was not a master of formation, she brought the relevant jade slips, and threw out two of them, which was enough to amaze the people of the south.

Lin Shu's thoughts...... I don't know, why don't you go back and find a time, and the Cloud Alliance Lord and His Majesty will talk to her together?" Yu Chen muttered.

"It's fine. As soon as Yu Ling nodded, a hurried knock on the door interrupted the two of them's thoughts.

"Come in. Yu Chen removed the noise barrier and said lightly.

Yu Ling looked up at the guards who hurriedly walked into the main hall, and inexplicably had a bad premonition.

The guard didn't even finish the salute, so he said anxiously: "Prime Minister, something has happened! Lin Shukeqing has been poisoned by an unknown poison, and now his life hangs by a thread......"

Yu Ling didn't expect that as soon as he talked about Lin Shu, the other party was assassinated, and Yu Chen also got up suddenly, his face became gloomy as water: "Where is he now?
