Chapter Nine: The Scheme (I)
In a border city in the kingdom of Ardley, which doesn't even have a name, the dilapidated houses look shabby. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but there are a lot of people on the street, and it's quite lively.
It's rare to see a small town like this, even at the border. As for the reason, it's very simple, it's too close to the abyss.
And the abyss is the place where demons appear, which is not only dangerous, but also not very good. If it weren't for the fact that demons have not appeared again in the past thousand years, I'm afraid there wouldn't even be such a small city here.
Among the small cities, the only one that can be regarded as eye-catching is the central city government.
The original city lord didn't know where he had gone, and he probably heard that something had come out of the abyss and fled.
Therefore, the current city has been occupied by hundreds of people in the entire Heavenly Master Palace.
And the Heavenly Master Palace, as the authentic state religion of the Adley Kingdom, has a lofty status. Those who can come to the abyss this time are all people above the Yuanying realm, all of whom are richly dressed and can walk against the wind.
Therefore, when the people of the Heavenly Master Hall arrived in this small city, the people in the city were all surprised. They all gathered at the gate of the city government, intending to pay homage to the demeanor of the heavenly master.
It is precisely because of this that the whole town is more lively than ever.
"Heavenly Master! Heavenly Master! ”
"What a heavenly master! It's still two! ”
"However, how can another Celestial Master look a little different?"
“……”
The dense crowd exploded for a while. For people like them, who may never see the world, it is really a happy thing to be able to witness the dignity of the Heavenly Master.
"Great Heavenly Master, Elder Simon has returned. He also brought envoys from the Qin people. "In the main hall, a Heavenly Master in the late Yuan Infant period respectfully reported to the Great Heavenly Master at the top.
"You're back, and you've brought back the envoy of the Qin people?" The Great Heavenly Master's face showed a look of joy.
Since Simon can bring back a Qin person, it means that there is a possibility of cooperation between the two sides.
"You settle them first, gather the elders, and I'll be there in a moment!"
"Yes!" The Celestial Master, who had received the order, immediately walked out.
However, although the Great Heavenly Master said this, he was not in a hurry to go out.
"The Qin people are here?" An old voice rang out in the hall.
"Yes, teacher!" The Great Celestial Master replied respectfully.
"Ahem!"
In the air, there was a coughing sound, and after a moment of silence, there was a sound again.
"This is a rare opportunity, you have to take advantage of it. As for their details, you don't have to worry. In the temple, there are still records about them, and they will not be demons. ”
The Great Heavenly Master nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Teacher, I'm not worried about whether they have something to do with demons. What worries me is ......"
The Great Heavenly Master's words were only half spoken, and he did not continue.
"I know what you mean." A voice in the air said, "You don't care about that. Although they have strength, there are only more than a hundred giant ships in the sky.
Come to think of it, their strength is just the same as our Heavenly Master Palace. And, even though they are human beings, they also come out of the abyss.
As long as we use a little bit of rhetoric at that time, the people of the whole continent will definitely reject them, and they will not want to gain a foothold on this continent! ”
After hearing this, the Great Heavenly Master smiled and said, "What the teacher said is reasonable, but the student has not thought it through. ”
"Hehe, go for it......"
The voice in the air, a somewhat hoarse smile, then faded and faded.
The Great Heavenly Master paused for a moment before heading outside.
In the main room, Chen Ping and Simon, who were envoys, and two monks from the Tribulation Realm were already waiting here.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Before I saw anyone, the voice of the Great Heavenly Master had already arrived in this room. The tone also seemed a little guilty.
Chen Ping smiled, and then said, "It's Yu who disturbs ......."
Looking at the beautiful Chen Ping, even if he was a great celestial master, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
There is still a gap between the Qin people and the people of this world. However, no matter how big the gap is, whether it is a man or a woman, the Great Heavenly Master can still distinguish it.
After all, on that day, he also met a herald of the Qin State. He was born mighty and tall, not much worse than the people here.
However, the person in men's clothes at the moment does not look like a man at all, but like a woman.
However, these scaries were only in an instant, and the Great Heavenly Master who came back to his senses still asked with a pleasant face, "Are you the envoy of the Qin people?" ”
"Exactly." Chen Ping arched his hand and saluted towards the Great Heavenly Master.
Well, it's a man.
A trace of doubt in the Great Heavenly Master's heart was resolved, but then he exclaimed, "You are really beautiful. ”
The corners of Chen Ping's mouth stiffened slightly. Although he is handsome, saying that a man is beautiful is tantamount to humiliating people in the hearts of the people of Great Qin.
"Thank you, Great Heavenly Master, for the compliment." Chen Ping still said with a pleasant face. It doesn't seem to have taken this to heart.
"This is the letter of state brought by His Majesty the Emperor, and it is specially presented to the Great Heavenly Master." As he spoke, Chen Ping once again took out a paper national letter from his cuff and handed it to the Great Heavenly Master.
"Huh?"
The Great Heavenly Master sighed lightly, but did not rush to read the contents of the national book, but looked at the light thing in his hand with great interest.
"It's fun, it shouldn't be cheap." The Great Heavenly Master asked while looking at the national book.
Chen Ping glanced at the three elders around him, but saw that they also had a hint of curiosity.
"What the Great Heavenly Master said is good, this thing is called paper, and each one requires a lot of manpower and material resources to be produced, and it takes a long time to complete it."
"Hmm." The Great Heavenly Master nodded, obviously not doubting the truth of Chen Ping's words.
Like paper, especially the imperial paper used by Ying Zheng, the appearance must be good. But in fact, the cost is not expensive. Especially as the skills become more and more proficient, even ordinary people in Daqin can afford to use them.
A moment later, when the Great Heavenly Master read the contents of the letter, he couldn't help frowning.
The letter is not short, but in order to facilitate the reading of the Great Heavenly Master, in addition to writing it once with the small seal of the Great Qin, it also poured out the oracle bone inscription that was only used during the Zhou Dynasty.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, do you want to exchange the loot you got from the demons for food and supplies?" The Great Heavenly Master asked with a calm expression.
"Exactly!"
Hearing this, not only did the Great Heavenly Master's brows furrow, but in addition to Simon, the other two elders also showed a trace of displeasure.
They brought in the Qin State to cooperate, but they didn't expect it to be just a transaction.
