Chapter 31: The Empire's Aid to Ansu
September 22, 2505. Fourth Field, Heavy Karma, Beta-4 C27Β· F591, known planet Antija.
The Blue Purple Xuanming Dragon asked Yi Juefei what realm it was, and Yi Juefei smiled and didn't answer. Just say that he is a knight who focuses on swords.
The first official goodwill visit of the Holy Empire to the Ansu Empire ended, the first and last. Because from today onwards, above Antigia, there will be no Ansu Empire.
The next day, early in the morning, the foreign minister of the Ansu Empire, on behalf of the emperor, announced to the whole continent: from now on, the Ansu Empire will be renamed the Ansu Kingdom and establish a strategic partnership with the Holy Empire.
Holy Empire? When most people hear this name, they subconsciously think of the other three empires other than the Ansu Empire. Think about it quickly, there are four major empires in Antigia Continent: the Ansu Empire in the northwest, the Gar Empire in the northeast, the Tyrs Empire in the southeast, and the Welsh Empire in the southwest. There is no Holy Empire among them.
Now that the extraterritorial evil clan is approaching the sky, the emperors of several major empires are as anxious as ants on a hot pot. When this strange news was released from the court of the former Ansu Empire, a whimsical idea flashed through their minds.
The name of this Holy Empire is familiar!
Slammed his thigh, and suddenly remembered that the phantom that had suddenly appeared in the sky earlier. Among the many muttering and obscure words spoken, there was one that could be understoodβthey were from the Holy Empire!
The Ansu Empire has reached an agreement with the Extraterritorial Evil Clan! This is Antigia's traitor, a lackey of the Alien Cult!
The Gal Empire, the Tiles Empire, and the Wells Empire contacted each other almost immediately to confirm some key information. In the verbose diplomatic rhetoric, they all have only one purpose, to confirm that they are not the only ones who have been betrayed.
This short diplomatic statement on this day caused an uproar in the continent of Antigia. At noon that day, the gossip had spread all over the sky, and Bing Lanxin finally arrived in the imperial capital.
What Ansu betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy, what Xiao Youzhen traitor leader and so on.
Bing Lanxin couldn't help but be annoyed when she listened to these inexplicable messages. Annoyed is annoyed, but there is nothing to be done, and the three of them become tigers. It is normal for Foreign Minister Ansu's statement to be rumored to be what it looks like.
Thinking of this, she once again urged the spiritual power in her body and plundered towards the palace. At a speed of forty kilometers per hour, she couldn't help it, she was really tired.
Bing Lanxin has hardly rested in the past few days, and after she left Shangjing, she first went back to the sect. The stakes are too high to take a child's word for it. She returned to the sect and persuaded the elders of the sect to join forces with her to go down to the spiritual spring to check the condition of the spiritual veins. The truth is that the condition of the spirit vein is even worse than what Long Qicong said.
The phantom that suddenly appeared in the sky yesterday also made Bing Lanxin faintly feel bad. She guessed that the royal family of the Ansu Empire had been controlled by the Holy Empire. In the worst-case scenario, they may have all been killed.
Binglan entered the palace with apprehension. As she flew over the palace wall, the strong man defending the city nodded to her. Everything is as usual. Binglan's heart fell outside the imperial study of Emperor Ansu, and the guards went in to invite Emperor Xiao Youzhen.
When Bing Lanxin was called, she was faintly a little uneasy. However, the scene that Bing Lanxin saw with her own eyes was a strange scene in the imperial study.
On the original wall, there are calligraphy and paintings of celebrities. The curtains around the door were made of silk satin, and the incense burner was made of fine spices. Now, the walls are covered with military maps with interspersed curves, useless silk and satin have been removed, and the smoke of gunpowder in the air has obscured the spices.
In the middle of the study, a large metal table was placed abruptly. On the table, the entire continent of Antigia was projected into the air, constantly changing with the operations of the officers on the side. Next to the metal, there was a large circle of people, including officials in court uniforms and foreign soldiers in uniform uniforms.
Field put his arm around Xiao Youzhen's shoulders like an old fellow.
"Brother, this is our carefully selected Prussian package for you. Within three years, you are guaranteed to double your military strength. Event special, 20% off. Within 10 years, the guarantee of safety and improvement will be improved. Look at this again, Beihai Ming package, the main focus is on industrialization, and the whole army will be mechanized within six years......"
The problem is that Xiao Youzhen still looked very interested, staring at the brochure that Field gave him, and only when he saw Binglan put it down, he took two steps forward.
"See His Majesty the Emperor." Bing Lanxin nodded slightly, the strong are privileged.
Xiao Youzhen smiled awkwardly and said embarrassedly: "I am the king now, not the emperor." Bing Aiqing, just feel free. β
Bing Lanxin stared at Xiao Youzhen for a long time, and she didn't see anything unusual on him. It should be said that the current scene, the current emperor, is strange enough in itself. But she couldn't tell how weird it was.
"What is this?" Bing Lanxin pointed to Xiao Youjian and asked.
Xiao Youzhen mistakenly thought that Bing Lanxin didn't know Field, and said, "This is the representative of the Holy Empire, Field. β
"I didn't mean that, I mean, what are you doing here?"
"Oh!" Xiao Youzhen suddenly realized, "The Holy Empire is formulating a specific plan for us to unify the continent. β
As he spoke, he pointed to the table in a circle. Looks like those people are just busy with this. Binglan asked, "What about Mr. Field?" You used to know each other. β
"No, Field is Ansudi...... No, a good friend of Ansu Country. He was introducing me to the customized service of statecraft. β
Selling statecraft? How does this look like a bunch of charlatans. As if sensing this malicious speculation, Field immediately jumped up and said.
"We are definitely not the kind of unscrupulous merchants, the empire will provide technical guidance and resource support throughout the process. If you are not satisfied, you can also return it at a discount. β
"No, who understands what you say."
Bing Lanxin found that there were many possibilities for the appearance of the world, maybe this way, maybe that, but she never thought that it would be like this for the Holy Empire.
Field also scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "It's the first time I've done this job, and I don't know the rules." Maybe I'm a little weirder. β
"By the way, do you know how to repair the spiritual veins?"
The playful expression on Field's face disappeared in an instant, and he waved his hand in a serious one. The projection equipment installed in the imperial study received the action command and projected the appearance of a planet in front of him.
The planet gradually faded, revealing the intricate spiritual veins inside like the old roots of a large tree. With a wave of his hands, Field zoomed in on the image, gradually revealing the center of the vein.
There appeared to be a sphere shattered into several pieces, floating and spinning.
"How do you describe this? Should it be called 'Heavenly Dao Collapse'? β
"Is there a way?"
"Yes, yes, but it's not cost-effective. Quite not cost-effective. β
When Bing Lanxin heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little lost. She lowered her head and muttered in a low voice, "Is Antigia cultivator really at the end of his rope?" β
Field said: "It's not the end of the road, a breath of true qi can still be practiced, and it can strengthen the body." That's not a bad thing either. The infinite expansion of unbridled personal power is the greatest enemy of order. Chivalry is a taboo by force. Everyone is an ordinary person, and the country is not managed. β
Bing Lan understood the truth, but said so, but she had been cultivating since she could remember. The elders around her have been saying since she was a child that if she can't cultivate, she has no value, and she is just useless waste. Now he suddenly told Antigar that his aura was going to be gone, and the era of cultivators was about to come to an end. She is somewhat reluctant, and in addition, I am afraid that it is more of a pervasiveness of suddenly losing her life purpose.
If you really don't want to give up, try modern theology. Give up what you have cultivated before and start learning. I'm here to apply for a place for you to study modern theology at the Empire's University of Modern Theology, and maybe you will have the opportunity to become a knight and become a citizen of the Empire! β
"Knight?" Bing Lan thought of what Long Qicong said. Cultivators of the Imperial Federation are called samurai, where the Federation calls samurai who serve in the military despair samurai, and samurai who serve in the empire are awarded knightly medals and become knights.
"Yes, the Imperial Knight will be accompanied by honor and iron blood for the rest of his life! The treatment is also excellent. Field said, looking at Yi Juefei. Yi Juefei also noticed the gaze cast by him, and smiled back at Field.
Since the meaning of life has been lost, it would be good to pursue it again. The greatest meaning of life is the process of discovering the meaning of life.
"Please help me apply for study abroad opportunities!"
Field nodded in agreement. Bing Lanxin turned around and said to Xiao Youzhen, the king of Ansu: "I resign as the guest secretary of the Ansu Empire, since the world is so big, I want to go out and have a look." β
Xiao Youzhen is very depressed, the strong are already becoming rarer, and now they are still being framed in front of others. He was in a heartache, but he couldn't show it.
"Since you've decided, I'm not going to stay. I will keep Ansu's position for you, and you will be Ansu's guest when you come back. β
Bing Lanxin bowed to King Ansu. Field asked the head of the household department to handle the matter, and the education matter belonged to the Ministry of Rites, and there were no officials from the Ministry of Rites in the team that came this time.
Which one of the Ministry of Industry is studying the capital, they originally came for Antiga's rich marine fishery resources. The city of Kamigyo was originally a harbor city, but now it is in ruins and is waiting to be rebuilt. Officially, they are a good place to play in the Ministry of Engineering. Field himself wants to work out the future statecraft of Ansu with Xiao Youzhen as soon as possible. Therefore, the matter of contacting the Ministry of Rites can only be shoehorned into the household department members who are currently quite idle.
After all, Ansu paid his first taxes to the empire a year later.
The Rites team was also slightly taken aback when they received the news. The matter of the F591 star area of the constellation has long been spread. Why is it that this time it is an international student? What's going on?
As an international student, of course, there is no problem. They will not refuse applications that are completely in line with the rules. Other provinces don't dare to say it, it's no problem to pick any first-class university in the Heavy Industry Empire. Of course, if you apply for a government-funded scholarship, there will be more restrictions.
However, the people who are in the Ministry of Rites have slowly pondered the taste. Chongyezuo was attacked, this was a slap in the face of the governor and the general secretary, these two feudal officials, must have wanted to behave well and remedy it afterwards.
At least don't fall into the name of incompetence, dismissal is a trivial matter, and disgrace is a big thing. After coming back to the experience, the Ministry of Rites immediately arranged for manpower to put the development of an educational aid plan for Antigia on the agenda.
How can an international student be enough, if you want to directly get a study abroad group. How can the talents cultivated by the empire also come in handy. If you don't do anything, just help Antija build a school.
Fueled by the inexplicable dignity of the people of the Empire, Ansu of Antigia may be the happiest vassal state of the Empire in history. Happiness is that they will soon forget the fact that they were forced to be vassals.
