Chapter 56: Encounter with Uncle Jian
Even though the ability to heal itself is super strong, and the aura in the secret room is extremely rich, it still took Feng Lian more than half a year to repair his body.
During this period, Dongfang Hongge and others came to visit him from time to time, and all kinds of precious medicinal materials and spiritual materials were given to Feng Lian without hesitation, and he did not mean to be polite, so he accepted them all. He also asked for a lot of high-level spiritual materials, so that every time Dongfang Hongge left the secret room, he had an extremely painful expression.
The experience of Baihua Valley allowed him not only to overcome his fear of pills, but also to find a way to refine spiritual herbs that would never burden his body, so that he could recover so quickly.
Every time the three of them came over, they consciously or unconsciously inquired about the divine sense. This time, Feng Lian learned well, and his answer was foggy. Let them have the same mood as when they smashed the sea to chase the black earthworm, knowing that the light was in front of them, but they couldn't get close. The more they felt the mystery and power of the divine master, and the more they feared it.
During this period, a far-reaching event occurred in Lucheng, the three empires suddenly cooperated, and a total of hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed outside the boundaries of Lucheng, nominally to prevent the war in Lucheng from spreading to their territory, but in fact, it was to deter the perpetrators such as the Difu and the War Alliance. The three empires will not watch the chaos in Lucheng continue.
What surprised Feng Lian even more was that the commander of the Three Kingdoms Alliance was actually Jiang Shangyu, who had just been promoted to the seventh elder of Muyun Academy. This is also the first time in the history of the three empires that the commander of the fairyland has appeared on the surface, and it is also the peak of the Martial Emperor.
However, these three empires are also very strange, and the war on the border is still in full swing, and they are very happy.
Feng Lian was concerned about Amen's affairs, and felt that his body was fine, so he immediately urged Lin Yichen to get the money. Dongfang Hongge smiled sincerely and happily this time, and finally sent away this plague god.
After walking out of the Shensun Forest, Lin Yichen still didn't take the teleportation array, but his speed had obviously increased a lot. Straight towards the territory of the Nebula Empire.
Feng Lian saw Lin Yichen wearing a mask, and also took out the mask, dressing himself up as a middle-aged cultivator like Lin Yichen.
As soon as he entered the Nebula Empire, Lin Yichen's footsteps slowed down again. He kept talking to people, asking them about their living conditions, being dissatisfied with the policies of the imperial court, and so on. Live like an elegant scholar who cares about the lives of the people.
Feng Lian seemed to have some understanding from Lin Yichen's conversation, but when he wanted to catch it, he felt that it was just nothingness.
Suddenly, more than a dozen soldiers in disheveled clothes and carrying large bags and small bags came over. Seeing that the aura fluctuations on Feng Lian's two bodies were extremely weak, they immediately set up a battle formation, and a light shield covered Feng Lian and Lin Yichen. A soldier shouted to Lin Yichen: "We are arresting treasonous fugitives, you open the ethereal ring, we have to check." ”
Lin Yichen looked at Feng Lian, and he had the posture that Feng Lian was the boss. The soldier shouted at Feng Lian, "Hurry up and open the Ethereal Ring and get it checked." ”
Feng Lian asked casually: "The military discipline of the Nebula Empire is the strictest among the three empires, but how many of you are so disheveled, like words?"
The soldier glanced at Feng Lian and said, "There's a lot of nonsense, hurry up and open the Ethereal Ring." Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind. ”
Feng Lian sneered: "Why are you welcome, is it just like this?"
"Slap!", the soldier led by the incorruptible general slapped his palm. Then chase after a few of them and fight. The highest level of those people is the level of the Divine Court, where can they hide from the incorruptible cloud copyers, and they were beaten one by one to the point that their skin was blue and their faces were swollen. With more than a dozen of their Jade Mansion level soldiers, they also want to trap him and Lin Yichen with the battle array?
"Let's talk about it, what's going on, if you're not honest, I'll continue to smoke until you're honest. ”
Feng Lian waited for a few of them to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy before stopping. Those people have been beaten so hard that their parents can't recognize them, where do they dare to lie.
This group of soldiers belonged to the city guards. More than ten years ago, the imperial court had cut off their salaries, and they didn't dare to come to the city, so they took turns to go to such remote places to get some food.
"What I know is that the Nebula Empire's military spending doesn't seem to have decreased, right?" Feng Lian asked.
"I don't know if it's reduced or not, anyway, we haven't received military pay here for more than ten years. Not only us, but the city guards of several cities did not receive their salaries. ”
"Your general's name is Tian Yuqing?" Lin Yichen asked.
"It would be nice if General Tian was still here, he would be the best for us. However, he had already been transferred to lead the infantry army. Our general is Zhou Qiwu, and he is not bad to us. We often use our own military salaries to help us, so that we can survive to this day. ”
Lin Yichen sneered: "Yes, there is such a good general, and you still do such a thing, isn't it embarrassing for your general?"
The soldier shouted aggrievedly: "But we have old and young, how can we rely only on General Zhou's help?"
Lin Yichen said in a low voice: "Okay, get out of here." If only I would see you oppress the people again and abolish your cultivation. ”
When these people saw Lin Yichen letting them go, they quickly kowtowed and thanked them, and slipped away in a panic.
In the next few days, Lin Yichen shuttled through several towns with Feng Lian, and the more he looked at it, the more gloomy his face became.
"Let's go, let's go to Kyoto. Lin Yichen was no longer calm, and after pulling Feng Lian into the city, he immediately took the teleportation array to Zhongtian City, the capital of the Nebula Empire.
Zhongtian City is prosperous and lively, but it reveals a hint of chill. The chill came from the heavily armed and stern-looking armor soldiers who kept walking through the streets. It makes ordinary people shudder when they look at it.
I asked a lot of people before I got a little bit of news. The battle for the throne of the royal family of the Nebula Empire finally broke out, and the six strongest princes fought fiercely. If it weren't for the fact that the city guards of Zhongtian City were loyal to the military department, and the military minister did not choose a position, the situation in Kyoto was stabilized.
Another reason that did not intensify the civil strife was that the prime minister controlled the military rations and supplied them to the troops once every half a month, so that they did not dare to rebel. The current battle is limited to the palaces of a few princes.
"What is your purpose in establishing Amen?"
After entering a high-end restaurant and having a full meal, Lin Yichen suddenly asked.
Feng Lian replied: "Of course, it is to give family and friends a place to live." A place to retire. ”
Lin Yichen asked again: "Then how many years do you think it will take you to build Amen into the Amen you want?"
Feng Lian pondered for a long time before he replied: "I don't know, maybe a thousand years, maybe ten thousand years." More on the future. I feel like having a goal and then going out of your way to fight for it is something to be proud of, no matter how it ends. ”
Lin Yichen nodded slightly and asked, "If you are given a stable, already formed city, plus tens of millions of people, are you willing to ask for it?"
Feng Lian didn't think about it, and replied directly: "Nonsense, it's not what you don't want is a fool." ”
Lin Yichen looked at Feng Lian and said seriously: "Now that the Nebula Empire is in such chaos, I will help you lay down two or three cities for you." And then you promise me one thing, okay?"
Feng Lian's expression immediately became serious, and he asked, "What's the matter?"
Lin Yichen chuckled: "Anyway, it's a good thing for you, and it won't violate morality." Is that okay?"
Feng Lian still asked, "You have to tell me what is going on." Another point, I know people from the royal family of the Nebula Empire, if they just take their city, it feels like stealing something from a friend, and they don't feel very comfortable. ”
Lin Yichen asked curiously: "You still know people from the royal family, it's amazing." Who do you know, let's hear it. ”
Feng Lian shrugged and said, "I can't say that." How I feel like you're digging a huge hole for me. ”
Lin Yichen looked at Feng Lian playfully and said, "If someone in the royal family you know is happy to give you the city, are you willing to promise me something?"
"If you can do it, I can think about it. But only if you can't dig a hole for me. ”
You don't need to think about it. Whether it is Lin Xueyi, Yu Qiongxin, or Yu Chaojiang, they cherish their home and country incomparably, and his relationship with Lin Xueyi is not as good as it seems. If it weren't for the fact that they had common interests, they would have been facing each other long ago. How could she be willing to give her family property to Feng Lian.
"It's a deal. Lin Yichen threw a jade plate to Feng Lian, and said, "You are waiting for my news here, if I can't find you when I come back, you don't want to get the money." ”
"You ......" Feng Lian hadn't thought about how to refute him, Lin Yichen had already left.
Feng Lian went out to hang out alone, and bought some medicinal herbs and spiritual materials by the way. When Amen was first built, these things were indispensable.
Suddenly, he was attracted by a shout. Looking at the past, it was a Martial Ancestor Intermediate Cultivator with a look of more than fifty years old, and he was shouting for spiritual materials.
Feng Lian rushed over, hugged each other tightly, and shouted with tears streaming down his face: "Uncle Jian, Uncle Jian, I see you again." ”
Ren Jian only saw a figure rushing towards him, and before he had time to dodge, he was hugged by the other party, and after a period of surprise, he heard that it was Feng Lian's voice, and it was already old tears.
"Little madman, is it really you? Is it you?"
"Uncle Jian, it's me, it's me. ”
"Old fellow, hurry up and pay the protection fee, or I'll kick you out. ”
Before the two could talk to each other, they were disturbed by a roar.
Feng Lian looked back unhappily
The Martial Emperor Intermediate Cultivator, named Yell, asked, "How much?"
The man said, "According to the level, the Martial Ancestor level is ten immortal crystals. ”
Feng Lian learned from Lin Yichen that there were all kinds of gangs and local snakes in Zhongtian City. Earn a living by collecting protection money. As long as the materials are sold, regardless of the quantity or the value of the materials, all taxes are levied according to the level of the seller.
Feng Lian took a look at the things placed in front of Ren Jian, and it added up to the price of fifteen or sixteen immortal crystals, and the other party actually wanted to charge ten immortal crystals for the protection fee?
Feng Lian shouted unhappily: "What if I don't give it?"
The man sneered, "Then you just wait to die." ”
"Do you dare to do it in the city?"
The man said, "I don't dare to do anything in the city, but if you don't go out in the city for the rest of your life, I can't do anything about you." If you want to leave, you have to pass us first. ”
"Okay, I'll go out of the city now, see what you can do to me?" Feng Lian pulled Renjian and walked in the direction of the outside of the city.
Renjian grabbed him and said, "Little madman, you can't go out of the city, even I can't protect myself when I go out of the city." Their Tianji Society has a god-strong person in charge. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to be so rampant. ”
When Feng Lian heard this, he stopped and asked, "Then take the teleportation array, I'll send you out first." ”
The man sneered, "The teleportation array of Zhongtian City is in our hands, do you think you can leave?"
Feng Lian said to the man, "I'll fight with you, and if I lose, I'll give you a hundred immortal crystals." If you win, you kowtow and make amends. ”
"It's just you, a senior martial immortal, dare to challenge me?" The man sneered, and shouted to everyone as he spoke, "It's this kid who doesn't know what to do, so I have to abuse him." Let's prove it, it's not that I, Tianji Society, bullies the small, it's that the other party doesn't know what to do......"
"There's a lot of nonsense, do you want to say yes?" Feng Lian interrupted him.
"Little madman, don't be impulsive. I can solve my own problems. Ren Jian pulled Feng Lian and persuaded.
Feng Lian grabbed Renjian's arms and said, "Uncle Dao, I was young before, and you were protecting me. Now that I'm older, it's time for me to protect you. Rest assured, I'm sure I won't even know him. ”
"Arrogant, go this way, see how I hit your grandma and you won't recognize you. ”
Feng Lian pulled Ren Jian and followed the man to the martial arts arena, where there was a ring where he could compete.
Ren Jian told Feng Lian that the Martial Emperor Intermediate Cultivator in front of him was called Yi Chunxing, and he could only barely be regarded as a middle-level cultivator in the Tianji Society.
There are three god-sealing powerhouses on the surface of the Tianji Society. Therefore, the royal family of the Nebula Empire also gave them enough face, as long as they did not touch the bottom line of the empire, they rarely asked about many things about them. The area just now belonged to the territory of the Tianji Society, and all cultivators who went to sell materials had to pay a certain fee, which was a rule that had lasted for hundreds of thousands of years.
There are three major forces in Zhongtian City, and the Heavenly Pole Society is one of them. It is said that hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Nebula Empire was almost destroyed by the Lone Moon Country. It was the three major forces of Zhongtian City that sent a large number of powerhouses to save the Nebula Empire. Not only that, but he also took the opportunity to destroy the Lonely Moon Country. Only then did the Nebula Empire truly stand tall in the Western Continent.
In order to thank the three major forces, the later emperor divided Zhongtian City into three major areas, which were managed by them, and the empire did not interfere. Only two requirements were mentioned, that is, not to do anything that would damage the image of the empire and harm the interests of the empire. The second is that there are certain regulations for the cultivators stationed in the city, and the number of people cannot exceed the limit of the empire.
Originally, everyone had a tacit understanding that the well water did not interfere with the river water. However, since more than ten years ago, the three major forces began to expand wildly, and some high-level powerhouses from outside have entered Zhongtian City one after another. Renjian estimates that the three major forces have been involved in the battle for succession.
If the imperial court does not control it well, there will be a big war in Zhongtian City. At that time, it will definitely spread to all parts of the country, and whether the Nebula Empire can be saved is a question.
At this time, Yu Qiongxin of the Zangyu Empire was about to marry the Zhongli Empire. Become the wife of the current emperor Li Entropy and become the queen of the world.
Her brother Yu Chaojiang also benefited from this incident, and served as the general of the Ninth Army to defend Kyoto. There is a good chance that he will become the new emperor. If their two empires add fuel to the fire, they will definitely be able to eat away at the Nebula Empire.
When Feng Lian heard this, he was shocked. Yu Qiongxin is finally going to marry Li Entropy, and there are still more than three months before the wedding. Golden Blood would be heartbroken when he knew about this. But now that he is in control of the Shadow Hall, it is impossible to hide this matter from him.
Feng Lian was a little worried that Jin Blood would do something drastic because of this, which would be a catastrophe for both him and Yu Qiongxin.
Feng Lian quietly left a sign and asked the people from the theater to meet him in the restaurant tonight. He has to stabilize the golden blood, otherwise Jile City may be in chaos.
