Chapter 30 Transactions
Chaos Three Kingdoms Plane, Dragon City, Chaotian Palace.
"Your Majesty, Gongsun Chan has started an all-out war with Yuan Shao, Gongsun Chan is like a bamboo, Bai Ma Yicong is even more long-lasting, Yuan Shao's troops are retreating one after another, and a large area of Jizhou territory is lost." A civilian official solemnly released the information he had gathered.
At present, although Da Yan has not yet officially established a state in the Chaotic Three Kingdoms plane, the background is enough, and most of the officials in the DPRK and China are shrewd officials selected from other planes.
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused countless officials to discuss, Su Xinghe looked at the few civil and military officers who stood at the forefront with indifferent faces, hesitated for a moment and stepped out, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, this fierce battle will determine the ownership of Hebei, although Yuan Shao is in decline at the moment, but it can't last long, Gongsun Chan talks about the background, compared to Yuan Shao, it is too much worse, and the minister thinks that I Dayan can now start to take over the preparation of Youzhou, just wait for the two sides to divide the victory and defeat, and then send troops to occupy the land of Youzhou!" ”
"Reconsideration!" Another official stepped forward and bowed.
"Your Majesty, time is running out, but now is the best time for our army to go south." With Su Xinghe's proposal, more and more officials came forward to reconsider, after all, it is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the eleven counties of Youzhou, even if Gongsun Chan was at its strongest, could not occupy them all, but Da Yan had this background and ability.
In recent years, with Li Xuan occupying the grassland, opening up the trade road between the grassland and the Central Plains, and using the war horse and slave trade, he extended his tentacles to Youzhou and even the entire three counties of Hebei. Once Da Yan makes a move, and even without Da Yan sending troops, there will be at least more than half of the cities in the counties of Youzhou. will take the initiative to open the city and surrender, this is the foundation that Dayan has accumulated over the years, and it is by no means comparable to a Gongsun Zhan.
"Not enough." On the dragon chair, Li Xuan's dragon qi clone's slightly closed eyes slowly opened and said indifferently.
"Uh......" The officials looked at Li Xuan in amazement, isn't it enough? What's not enough? Does it mean that I don't have enough great flame background? This...... Unlikely, right?
Downstairs, Liu Ji smiled slightly. stood up at the right time, looked at the group of civil and military officers with a smile and explained: "Your Majesty's meaning is to say that it is just a secluded state. Far from enough. ”
Zhou Yi and other local officials couldn't help but twitch their cheek muscles violently when they heard this, what do you mean? What does it mean to be a secluded state? If you let Gongsun Zhan, who has worked hard for half his life for this 'melancholy' state, hear it, I don't know if he will be killed directly by anger.
"Wenhe?" Ignoring the expressions of the officials, Li Xuan looked at Jia Xu, who was standing silently on the side, and said, "What I want you to do." What's going on? ”
Jia Xu heard this. He took a step forward and bowed down and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Hebei Shangjia, headed by the Zhen family of Zhongshan, the minister has secretly contacted the head of his family, and the Zhen family has promised that as long as my Dayan army enters Jizhou, he will raise the flag to support my Dayan to enter Jizhou, but ......"
"Speak!" Li Xuan glanced at Jia Xu lightly and said.
"Yes." Jia Xu nodded. He bowed down and said, "Zhen Mi, the youngest daughter of the Zhen family, has already reached Yan this year. has admired His Majesty for a long time, and the Zhen family hopes to be able to marry His Majesty. ”
When the hundred officials heard this, they were all stunned, after all, although they knew the background of Da Yan, it was definitely not comparable to any of the princes nowadays, but at present, Da Yan could only be regarded as a local tyrant in the Three Kingdoms plane, and the jurisdiction was no more than a grassland, in the eyes of many Central Plains people, it was simply a barren land, and they really didn't understand why the other party would put such a heavy bet on Li Xuan.
However, if you think about it deeply, it is not difficult to understand that the status of Shinong industry and commerce, businessmen and businessmen in this era is extremely low, and in the eyes of those families, it is a tool to collect money, the Zhen family does this, if Li Xuan succeeds in the future, he has the identity of a royal relative, and he does not have to worry about being slaughtered as a fat sheep by someone with a heart in the future, but he is a little surprised by the Zhen family's eyesight.
I couldn't help but look at Li Xuan, although it is a state affair, but once it involves Li Xuan's family background, it is not something that courtiers can discuss and decide, Yu Gong, political marriage is not a new word, although the Zhen family is a family of businessmen, but the connections are all over the world, in Jizhou, it is almost the economic lifeline of Jizhou, if it can be married, it may not be a good thing for Dayan, but Li Xuan's strong image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, related to Li Xuan's family affairs, before knowing Li Xuan's true thoughts, no one dares to comment.
"Oh?" Li Xuan looked at Jia Xu with some surprise, Zhen Mi, that is a peerless beauty called Luo Shen in later generations, in terms of fame, it may not be under Diao Chan, thought about it and said: "Accurate! But we must place the manpower I arranged in all parts of Jizhou as soon as possible, and there must be no mistake! ”
"Yes." Jia Xu nodded and retreated to his place.
"Wu Yunzhao!"
"The minister is here!" Wu Yunzhao strode over to His Highness and bowed.
"Just then it is easy to break, Gongsun Chan will lose this battle, and the time will not be too long, the boundary bridge is the key to this battle, Gongsun Chan is the hero of the anti-Hu Dynasty, it is a pity, you lead five thousand flying eagles to ride to the boundary bridge, protect Gongsun Zhan's life, at the same time, Yuan Shao will be stopped outside the boundary bridge, this trip is a little dangerous, Xiong Kuohai, Wu Tianxi will go with you, help you!" Li Xuan said in a deep voice.
"Minister, obey!" Wu Yunzhao said loudly.
"Berwyn." Li Xuan looked at Liu Ji again, and said in a deep voice: "This battle is related to the luck of our army, you personally preside over the overall situation, the day of the return of the deity is the day when our army occupies Hebei, during this period, the dark thousand islands are at your disposal." ”
"Command!"
Liu Ji retreated, but the ministers were shocked, at this moment they finally knew what Li Xuan said was not enough, in this battle, Li Xuan wanted not only a Youzhou, but the whole of Hebei, including Yuan Shao, who is now the strongest in Jizhou, is actually in Li Xuan's plan, this ...... Is it possible?
The local ministers were incredulous for a while, but the military generals who were summoned by Li Xuan from all walks of life were indifferent, and there was no surprise at Li Xuan's decision, Yuan Shao's character, during this time, had already been understood by the top strategists of these major planes, maybe he had some ability, the reputation of the fourth and third dukes, if Li Xuan did not appear, he might have flourished for a while, but he had a resourceful and indecisive character. is destined to become a qualified monarch, and sooner or later he will be destroyed, what Li Xuan is doing now. It's just a matter of bringing the process forward.
……
One Piece World, Navy Headquarters.
"Daddy, we're ...... now What to do? Marco and Ace both looked at the battlefield in front of them blankly, the space collapsed, and the spatial cracks carried terrifying tearing sounds, and many seamen who couldn't dodge were directly swallowed by the terrifying spatial cracks, and endless sword qi shrouded the range. Even the ships that approached were turned into powder in an instant, not to mention the ordinary navy, it was the rear admiral-level combat power. In such a battlefield, even survival is an extremely difficult thing, even if it is a natural powerhouse, the terrifying sword qi seems to be domineering in every way. Department of Nature. I don't dare to use elementalization here, because once it is deployed, it also means that the attack surface is greatly increased, and in this kind of battlefield, it is definitely an act of seeking death.
Pirates, who can't intervene at all, haven't you seen the miserable end of those soldiers trapped on the battlefield? Not swallowed by a spatial rift. It is to be divided by the sword qi that escapes, or to be shocked to death by the energy generated by the strong fight. Even if you want to escape, in such an environment, there is no way to escape.
"Wait." Whitebeard sighed, others may not be able to feel it, but he clearly felt that the current battlefield is by no means as simple as it seems, and the spatial cracks around him that are cracked and constantly filled without warning prove that outside the battle group in front of him, there is a war that ordinary people cannot see is going on silently, and its danger is even far above the battle that can be seen in front of him.
Although he couldn't understand the battle at this level, it didn't hinder his judgment, and now, it was difficult to retreat.
In the center of the Navy Headquarters, outside the main hall, Li Xuan felt the pressure on the space, and his brows rose slightly, not because this pressure from the pirate world was too strong, on the contrary, it was too weak.
Of course, this weakness is relative, at least this pressure is enough for Li Xuan to give up the idea of doing it, and use all his strength to support the Netherworld to fight against the world power of this pirate world, but it is precisely because of this that Li Xuan feels that the power of this world is too weak.
The Netherworld is just a nascent, not only is the space scarce, the rules are also extremely unstable, it is not a complete world at all, and the One Piece World is a perfect world with complete rules, compared with the Netherworld, it does not have the qualifications to fight at all, if it is crushed by the power of the entire plane, the Netherworld is not much stronger than a bubble, but now, it is in a strange stalemate.
Li Xuan raised his head and looked at the void sky, and the corners of his mouth suddenly pulled up a smile, in other words, this will that can manipulate the power of the world is only able to mobilize some of the rules of the pirate world, and it is a small part of the rules, but being able to stalemate with his own netherworld through the air is enough to show that it is powerful, at least stronger than his current self, but it is also absolutely limited.
One step of footsteps, the next moment, it appeared on the whitebeard pirate ship.
"Hey, what do you want to do?" The pirates immediately looked at Li Xuan vigilantly, and Whitebeard also looked at Li Xuan solemnly, although he didn't know why the other party suddenly came here in this situation, but Li Xuan's strength also made Whitebeard dare not despise it.
"Heaven and man are declining, and their lives are short." Li Xuan raised his head, looked at the man who claimed to be the strongest, and smiled.
"I don't know why Your Excellency came?" Whitebeard frowned, looked at Li Xuan, but didn't care about Li Xuan's words, although he didn't know the meaning of the five decays of the day, but he could still understand the sentence of life.
"Shock the fruit, burn the fruit, in exchange for Edward's recovery from his injuries and return to his heyday body, what do you think, how about this deal?" Smiling slightly, Li Xuan looked at Ace, and now all his strength is surging to resist the will to suppress the Netherworld, and he can't forcibly take the fruit, yes, Li Xuan can only choose this way in exchange for what he needs, if the master agrees, it doesn't take much effort to extract the fruit.
"What do you say? Bastard! The faces of the pirates changed greatly, and they suddenly protected Whitebeard, looking at Li Xuan vigilantly, even though Li Xuan showed great strength, even above Whitebeard, but at this moment, no one flinched.
"Hey, hey, I'm just talking about a deal, so I don't need to be so nervous." Li Xuan waved his hand, for people who are not from his own forces, enemies, he will call himself me to show contempt, but for friendly forces or neutral forces, he will not call himself me, which is easy to arouse the disgust of other forces, this has nothing to do with the strength of the strength, but an attitude, even if he has absolute strength, there is no need to make the world an enemy.
Looking at the expressions of Marco and the others, Li Xuan pointed to the eye-catching wound on Whitebeard's chest and said, "He has a short life, so he won't even be able to see this, right?" ”
"Then how can we believe that you can heal Daddy's injuries?" Ace stared at Li Xuan tightly, without giving way.
"Next!" Li Xuan flicked his fingers, and a pill turned into a streamer of light and shot at Whitebeard.
"This is ......" Whitebeard stretched out his hand, and the pill the size of a pigeon's egg looked a little small in his huge palm, but a faint medicinal fragrance spread out with Whitebeard's palm, diffusing from the palm, just the medicinal fragrance, it made people feel refreshed, and the whole body was comfortable, and Whitebeard looked at Li Xuan with some curiosity.
"Eat it, and your injuries will heal quickly." Li Xuan said, this is an elixir made of the essence blood of the demon dragon and the refining of the twenty flavors of heaven and earth, although it cannot live human flesh and bones, but as long as it is not a soul injury, and there is still a breath, it can pull people back from Lord Yama.
"Oh?" Whitebeard didn't immediately swallow the pill, but looked at Li Xuan curiously: "You're not afraid that after my injuries are healed, I will refuse your request?" Since you didn't forcibly deprive you, then you shouldn't have the extra ability to exert your magical ability now, right? ”
"The three words of Whitebeard, I want to believe, the most important thing is ......" Li Xuan looked at Whitebeard, with a sense of imperial arrogance in his eyes, and said indifferently: "In this world, anyone who owes me something, has to pay it back, I don't think anyone can escape, just like them." ”
Whitebeard looked at the five old stars in the fierce battle and the corpses all over the Navy Headquarters, sighed, nodded and said, "My fruit ability, I can give it to you, it's just Ace ......"
Fire Fist Ace, which can have today's prestige, half of it is built up by the ability to burn fruits, and there is no burning fruit.
"I promise you!" Ace said flatly.
"Love and righteousness, it's a character, in this case, I can't be stingy, after this battle, you can come to Nine Snake Island to find me, I will teach you something." Li Xuan smiled with satisfaction.
"Haha, okay, the old man's ability, if you want it, take it." Hearing this, a flash of sparkle flashed in Whitebeard's eyes, Li Xuan's strength is obvious to all, if he is willing to teach Ace, it is definitely comparable to ten natural fruits, and he no longer hesitates at the moment, and swallows the pill in his hand in one gulp.
It melted in his mouth, followed by a stream of heat in Whitebeard's surprised expression, instantly flowing through his body, and the power that had been gradually exhausted due to aging was strangely restored and grew, and at the same time, the wound on his chest was also healed at an incredible speed under the incredible gaze of everyone.
"Daddy!" The pirates watched in surprise as the wounds healed, and even the white beards on their faces seemed to be much less wrinkled.
Strength!?
Whitebeard looked at his hands in a daze, his body, which was gradually overwhelmed, was filled with an explosive force at this moment, even if he didn't have the ability to fruit, Whitebeard believed that his punch at this moment was enough to smash a top naval warship!
Turning around, Whitebeard looked at the man in front of him with some incredulity.
"The deal is done." Li Xuan smiled slightly, stretched out his hands, and stuck them on the two of them, Whitebeard and Ace felt that a force was constantly draining into Li Xuan's body at the same time, and with Li Xuan's movements, the netherworld space suddenly became unstable, endless cracks were born at the edge of the space, and continued to spread inward, and the palace in the distance began to tremble slightly, as if it might collapse at any time.
Li Xuan's face was solemn, looking at the two devil fruits in his hands that were getting clearer and clearer, and a trace of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.
"The power of fire, scatter!" The burning fruit was the first to take shape, Li Xuan's eyes lit up, and the fruit in his hand was thrown into the sky, and then it dissipated in an instant, turning into boundless heat, and swept around the entire netherworld. (To be continued......)
