Chapter 140: Seeking Skin with the Tiger

What the six empires value most is not the strength of the Jinling Kingdom, but the golden cemetery of unknown origin, which they regard as the safest and most reliable guarantee. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

After solving their worries, they will be able to give it a go with more peace of mind, so the choice of Jinling Kingdom is the most critical.

The black-robed middle-aged man was not in a hurry to ask, and gave Emperor Jinling enough time to think about it.

After being silent for a long time, I saw Emperor Jinling's lips move, and said, "If I Jinling Kingdom promises you, what benefits will this have for us."

"Benefits?"

The blurred face frowned slightly, and the black-robed middle-aged man said: "In such an incident, don't forget to fight for your own interests in front of me, just by this point, your Jinling Emperor's courage and mind are beyond the reach of the Seven Emperors of the Seven Great Empires, and you make me feel even more potentially dangerous."

The voice of the black-robed middle-aged man was cold, but Emperor Jinling treated him silently, and his attitude was very stable and calm.

"Compared with the six empires, your Jinling Kingdom does have the bargaining chips to negotiate with me."

The black-robed middle-aged man seemed to have expected Emperor Jinling's approach, so he said clearly: "Say, what do you want?"

"I want you to help me improve the overall strength of Jinling Kingdom." Emperor Jinling decided to go authentically.

"Same as I thought."

The black-robed middle-aged man said: "Yes, but the other six empires have a strong background, and you had that accident thousands of years ago, so it is impossible for your Jinling Kingdom to catch up with them in a short period of time, and what I can help you is only to let your Jinling Kingdom try to shorten the gap with them as much as possible."

Emperor Jinling thought for a moment and said, "Then it's decided for the time being."

Emperor Jinling also knows that the development of their Jinling Kingdom has been tortuous, although they have struggled to catch up over the years, but if there is no special, if they want to catch up with the six empires, it will take at least three to five hundred years, and it is useless to be in a hurry.

"Any questions?" The black-robed middle-aged man asked.

"We need a long time to secretly prepare everything." Jinling Emperor Road.

"It's not a problem, but it will take half a hundred years, and we don't want to wait too long."

The black-robed middle-aged human, they have been waiting for hundreds or thousands of years, and they still have the patience to wait for decades.

"Decades should be enough, there are no other problems." Emperor Jinling agreed.

"Okay, then I'll give you a month, and I'll come here again then, hoping that you can convince the other principals of Jinling Kingdom to make this trip worthwhile."

Seeing that the matter was initially completed, the middle-aged man in the black robe did not stay much, and before leaving, he made a specific promise, saying: "As long as you agree, I can immediately provide the resources you need to help your countrymen improve their realm."

"Then the junior will thank you in advance." Jinling Emperor Road.

"By the way, by the way, let me tell you one thing, Sun Ao, the founding ancestor of your Jinling Kingdom, is often a character, perhaps... He didn't fall. ”

The black-robed middle-aged man turned around and left, his figure gradually disappeared, and in just a few breaths, he walked out of the Jinling Imperial Capital and left, but the dull voice left behind in the end made Emperor Jinling's heart tremble!

This is earth-shattering news for Emperor Jinling, and he can't calm down in his heart!

Sun Aochang, the founder of Jinling Kingdom and a wizard of martial arts, is definitely an absolute spiritual leader in Jinling throughout the ages, no matter how long the time is, it cannot be forgotten!

Such a character deserves to be the founding ancestor of Jinling Kingdom, and his status is unshakable!

But according to the ancient books of Jinling Kingdom, their ancestor Sun Aochang suddenly and mysteriously disappeared more than 7,000 years ago, and has never appeared since, and even his news has not been circulated.

To this day, middle-aged men in black robes say that their ancestors may still be alive.

Of course, what the middle-aged man in the black robe said was only possible, indicating that he was not sure.

Moreover, he only said one sentence without going into details, which made people even more suspicious of his words.

It is also undeniable that the middle-aged man in the black robe deliberately said this, so that Jinlingguo could agree to the purpose of his trip.

It is rumored that Sun Aochang, the ancestor of Jinling Kingdom, had entered the golden cemetery in Houshan before he lost his news, and there was no news about him after that, which over time, the world thought that something had happened to him and he had already died.

After hearing the news, after calming down in his heart for a long time, Emperor Jinling's face didn't seem to be very happy, and surprisingly, there seemed to be a slight worry between his eyebrows.

I don't know how he feels at this time?

The breeze was blowing slowly, only Emperor Jinling was left in the same place, and the surroundings were very quiet, and finally, not long after the black-robed middle-aged man left, he also walked to the back of the palace, came to the depths of the forbidden land, and entered the underground palace.

In the depths of the underground palace, Sun Zhi, the great-grandfather of Emperor Jinling, and his two imperial uncles were in the main hall, sitting cross-legged in front of the crystal jade coffin lying horizontally.

"How's it going?" As soon as he saw Emperor Jinling coming, his great-grandfather Sun Zhi asked.

The stakes are very high, involving the safety of Jinling Kingdom, and his two imperial uncles also listened cautiously.

Emperor Jinling did not hide it and told the matter one by one, but he did not reveal half a point about the ancestor Sun Aochang.

"You want to promise him?" Sun Zhi asked.

"Yes." Jinling Emperor Road.

"That person's origin is unknown, we don't know his details at all, if you make a rash choice, it will put our country in danger, you have to think about it carefully." Sun Zhidao.

"Uncle Huang is right, we have to think twice." Emperor Jinling's two imperial uncles also said in unison.

"He's going to help us improve our overall strength." Jinling Emperor Road.

When Sun Zhi and the others heard this, they hesitated slightly, secretly thinking about how to choose.

"This is an opportunity for us in the Jinling Kingdom, in fact, we don't have to be enemies of the Temple." Emperor Jinling suddenly said again.

His thoughts were interrupted, Sun Zhi was slightly startled, his thoughts flashed, and he said, "What do you mean by this......"

"Take advantage of the wind to make the ship stronger." Jinling Emperor Road.

"You want to use that man's power to increase the strength of our country, and then abandon the contract and join forces with the Temple." Sun Zhi finally understood.

At the same time as he realized it, he also trembled in his heart, shocked that Emperor Jinling dared to have such an idea, what a deep city and courage it needed.

Suddenly, Sun Zhi felt that handing over the future of the Jinling Kingdom to the Jinling Emperor was equivalent to taking it on a tortuous road, paved with dangerous thorns and full of infinite unknowns.

I don't know where Jinling Kingdom will go under his leadership.

"That person's strength is very high, and listening to what you just said, there seems to be an even more powerful person behind him, who is not afraid of the existence of a supreme figure like the Holy Lord." Sun Zhi said heavily.

"From the moment he first arrived, my Jinling Kingdom was destined to be mixed in the whirlpool of strife, if there was no power to protect himself, he could only choose one of these two forces." Emperor Jinling said calmly.

"That being said, but..."

Sun Zhi wanted to stop talking, and couldn't find a reason to refute it, how could a person like him not understand the truth in this old man, but the matter was too important, and there would inevitably be concerns.

"If they could really overthrow the Temple, they wouldn't have come to us to sow discord with the Temple, this is to weaken the Temple."

"So I'd rather choose the temple side than his one-sided words."

Emperor Jinling continued: "The golden cemetery in the back mountain is our greatest reliance and guarantee, if we don't make enemies of the temple, the other six empires may not continue to fulfill the contract."

"Go on."

Hearing Emperor Jinling say this, Sun Zhi also vaguely guessed his inner thoughts.

Emperor Jinling said: "The temple and the underworld have always been at odds, and now there is an enemy on the side of the black-robed man, if there is a division internally, wouldn't it be embattled?"

"Therefore, we should take the opportunity to form an alliance with the six great empires, and declare that we want to be equal to the Temple in this vast land."

"This is the most sensible move for my Jinling Kingdom."

Emperor Jinling's words really made his two imperial uncles heartbroken and a little apprehensive.

Only Sun Zhi can calm down a little.

"Does Great-Ancestor still think there's anything wrong?" Emperor Jinling asked.

Sun Zhi came back to his senses, thought about it and thought about it, but he was still a little hesitant.

"I know that doing so will definitely attract the revenge of the black-robed people, but I also emphasized just now that the golden cemetery in the back mountain is our greatest guarantee, and even the Holy Lord is afraid of it, so they naturally have some scruples."

"Besides, if we join forces with the Temple, we won't necessarily be afraid of them."

"You don't have to worry, since the six empires have all promised the black-robed people, it means that they are not willing to condescend to one of the temples in their hearts, our purpose is the same, unite and form an alliance, and it will come naturally!"

"In the face of the overall situation, I think the temple should also know what to do, and in the face of external threats, they can only compromise and make concessions."

"If my prediction is correct, some of the agreements they have secretly reached with the Yan Empire are already the first steps towards a compromise."

"And since the first step has been taken, there may be a second step."

Emperor Jinling said: "If it happens, it will be even more difficult for the temple to rule over us again, and we will no longer have to continue to pay tribute to them every year for most of the resources, which will greatly increase the speed of our national strength."

Emperor Jinling's analysis is straightforward, and it sounds really recognized, as he said, this is the most conducive to the development of their Jinling Kingdom.

Of course, it also comes with a high risk!

And it was precisely because the risk was too high that Sun Zhi and the others hesitated for a long time.

"Great ancestor, Uncle Huang, if you are afraid of wolves and tigers, even if I have no fear, I am destined to be difficult to make a difference!" Emperor Jinling said in a deep voice.

Sun Zhi's three faces were complicated, his lips squirmed, and he said, "Okay, we also agree with you doing this, but it's better to inform your Yuan Great Ancestor of this matter."

"Great Ancestor Yuan is in the temple at this time, so it is inevitable to inform him in advance, but not during this period." Jinling Emperor Road.

"I understand that." Sun Zhi nodded.

"Okay, then great-ancestor, you should think about it in the dungeon first, and I'll go out first." Emperor Jinling retired.

"Go ahead." Sun Zhi waved his hand.

To the southwest of the Imperial Capital City, hundreds of miles away, here is a secluded and dense forest, and a gray figure stands among them, it is the black-robed middle-aged man who has left from the depths of the forbidden land of Jinling Kingdom.

"What did my predecessors do to me?"

A slender figure walked out slowly, and came behind the black-robed middle-aged man, and in the dim light, that familiar face was the eldest prince of Jinling Kingdom!

"You're here."

The black-robed middle-aged man turned around and looked squarely at the eldest prince.

"Let's talk about business directly, how about it, if you cooperate with me, I will help you advance to the real emperor realm within three years, and help you ascend to the throne of God in the future." The black-robed middle-aged man is humane.

Judging from the tone of the black-robed middle-aged man, it was not the first time they had come into contact.

"The kindness of the seniors, the juniors have understood it, but I have enough confidence in myself for the promotion to the emperor realm in the future." The eldest prince smiled slightly and said.

"Yes, the tiger father has no dogs, and like your father, he is quite courageous."

was politely refused, and the black-robed middle-aged man was not angry, and said: "Don't rush to give a reply, you have a long time to think about it, if you are interested in what I just said, we can talk about it again in the future."

The eldest prince smiled faintly, nodded vaguely, and said, "If the seniors have nothing else to do, then the juniors will leave first."

As he spoke, he retreated, and the black-robed middle-aged man watched him go until he was far away, and he did not stop him.

"If things really come to a certain point, even if you don't want to be the emperor of Jinling Kingdom, I will find a way to make you do, no matter what means."

"Human nature is greedy, as long as the slightest deviation from the original track, even just a little, will go further and further."

"And what I will do then is to open the door of your desires and guide you on the right path that belongs to us."

The eldest prince was far away, and the middle-aged man in the black robe stood in place and whispered.
