Chapter 622: Pass
"Guogong will naturally be greeted when he goes in, and the slave can only send you here. ”
Looking at the smile on the face of the attendant, Xiao Chen's eyes flashed slightly, nodded directly, and strode towards the hall without saying a word.
When I entered the main hall, I saw that the first person to sit was the lord of Rong State. Although he had expected it in his heart, Xiao Chen's face still showed surprise, and he bowed and said, "The minister doesn't know that the lord of the country is here, and if there is anything rude and offensive, please don't blame the lord of the country." ”
Lord Rong shook his head with a smile, "Coming here in solitude and not letting people tell you, what is wrong with you, get up and sit." ”
"Thank you, Lord of the country. ”
Xiao Chen got up and sat down in the next place.
The duke is in the body, and there is a seat in front of the lord, which is normal.
"Today, the Lone King named you the Duke of Qingyun, is Xiao Qing satisfied?"
Xiao Chen arched his hand and said, "The minister originally didn't have the extravagant hope of being a prince, and it was a great reward to be able to get the marquis. I have received the great grace of the lord of the country now, and I will do my best to share the worries of the lord of the country in the future. ”
The Lord of Rong nodded with satisfaction, extremely satisfied with Xiao Chen's calm and respectful attitude, but at this moment, his face showed a little worry, and he did not continue to speak for a while.
Xiao Chen faintly guessed in his heart what he was doing here, and he had already prepared a countermeasure in his heart, and sat down calmly, waiting for the Lord of Rong to ask.
After half a ring, the lord of Rong Guo coughed lightly, and then slowly spoke, "Xiao Chen, the assassination of Yan Mingyue in the Liuyan Pavilion that day, but you planned it single-handedly? ”
Xiao Chen's face changed, and he directly got up and saluted, "Lord of the Kingdom, Xiao Chen's visit to the Liuyan Pavilion that day was a whim, and it was definitely not planned in advance, otherwise why would he be severely injured by the corpse of that Great Qin and almost lost his life, all this can only be said to be a coincidence." ”
The face of the Lord of the Rong Kingdom remained unchanged, and his gaze fell on Xiao Chen's face, "With the current state of the Rong Kingdom, how can it really be so stupid." Plotting to assassinate Yan Mingyue was tantamount to digging their own grave, and they never thought that they would have a reason to do so. ”
"The lord of the country, maybe the envoy of the state of Qian, like the minister, is the victim of this matter, whether it is the corpse of Qin or the dead of the Wei state, the real target is Yan Mingyue, otherwise the minister will not be able to think of a reasonable explanation. ”
"Yan Mingyue passed on Emperor Yan's edict to stop the two countries from fighting, cut off the road to the promotion of our Rong State, and have nothing to do with Qin and Wei, why did they send them to assassinate him at this moment?"
This is not something that the minister can know, and perhaps there is a secret that the minister and the lord of the country have not been aware of. Xiao Chen frowned slightly, his face showed a look of concern, and he slowly spoke after half a sound, "The lord of the country thinks that Yan Mingyue's dignified creation consummation monk, and he was assigned by Emperor Yan to come to my Rong country to preach the decree, will really be a prodigal Great Yan clan relative like him, wandering around in my Rong country to collect benefits? Perhaps it is precisely because of this that it will attract the assassination of Qin corpses and the dead soldiers of Wei. ”
The face of the lord of Rong changed slightly, Yan Mingyue wandered around Rong Guo and refused to leave, he was not without suspicion in his heart, and he also sent someone to secretly monitor but found nothing, today I heard Xiao Chen mention it, and he didn't feel a little more dignified in his heart.
Yanhuang Angel.
The corpse of Great Qin.
Dead soldiers of the Wei State.
If it is really as Xiao Chen said, they are secretly entangled and hiding some kind of secret, then this matter must be extremely important!
Able to work, the three empires sent monks to come, even at the expense of killing each other... The Rong Lord's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly thought of a legend from a long time ago, about the ancient immortal realm that had disappeared for a long time...
If it is really related to this, then this time, maybe he really thought about it too much.
And from beginning to end, he had been observing Xiao Chen's expression in the news, although there was a shock, there was no panic at all, his eyes remained absolutely calm, and he could still think calmly when mentioning Yan Mingyue's suspicious place. This kind of performance proves that he is open in his heart and has nothing to hide.
As soon as he thought of this, the Lord of Rong's heart was slightly relieved, and his solemn face was slightly resolved, and he said: "The matter may be as Xiao Qing said, if this is the case, I am afraid that the Lone King will also send someone to investigate." ”
"Today's inquiry, not only to solve the confusion in my heart, but also to prepare in advance, in case Emperor Yan is suspicious of this matter and sends an angel to investigate, Lone is also worried that this matter will implicate you. ”
Xiao Chen's face showed gratitude, "Lord Lao is worried, the minister has a clear conscience, even if Emperor Yan sends someone to investigate, the minister is not afraid at all." But he was greatly relieved in his heart, he had expected that there would be today, and now he can barely pass the test. As for the so-called Yan Huang sending people to investigate, it is just a rhetoric. Now that the whole world thinks that it is the Rong State that has framed the State of Rong and taken the opportunity to annex it, if Emperor Yan does not want to completely intensify the contradiction with the State of Rong and force the Lord of the State of Rong to raise an army, at most he will reprimand him a little on this matter, and he will definitely not do more.
"Hehe, today is lonely, Xiao Qing said these things that destroyed the interest on his happy day. A gentle smile regained on the face of the Rong Lord, "You sit down, and talk to Xiao Qing about some serious things, it is related to your fiefdom." ”
"All the fiefdoms of the heroes have been divided, only your bad decision, the cabinet ministers have discussed several times and have not come up with a practical charter, and I want to ask you what you mean today. ”
Xiao Chen sat down, and when he heard the words, he arched his hand and spoke, "I don't know what makes the lord of the country so embarrassed?"
"I thought about it again and again, and I felt that with your merits, even if I gave fifteen Xiuzhen Stars as my territory, it would not be too much, but after all, I had to take into account the feelings of the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, as well as Hulei's face, so I had to reduce your fiefdom by one level to twelve. The territory was reduced, and Lone already owed something to Xiao Qing, so he ordered the cabinet to select twelve medium-grade cultivation stars as Xiao Qing's fiefdom as compensation, but this is where the matter became. ”
"Annexing the Qiang Country Galaxy, there are a total of one hundred and six cultivation stars under the control of my Rong Kingdom, of which only eighty-seven are medium-grade, and only three of them can barely be connected together to make up for twelve at the moment. One is Ling Yuanxing, the old capital of Rong Kingdom, and the surrounding eleven Xiuzhen Stars. One is the old capital of the kingdom, Tianyuan Wang, and the surrounding eleven Xiuzhen stars. The three are on the edge of the Karma Kingdom, near the area of the Desolate Alien Star Domain, there is a small galaxy of ten medium-grade cultivation stars, among which there are four low-grade cultivation stars and some unmanned waste stars or mineral planets, which can barely be worth twelve medium-grade cultivation stars. The Lone King's courtiers can't decide which one to give you, so Lone wants to know what you mean. ”
The Lord of Rong slowly spoke, his face embarrassed.
Xiao Chen was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking quickly about the gains and losses, and only after a moment did he speak, and said: "Lord of the country, if you let the minister choose, the minister chooses the fief on the edge of the kingdom near the desolate alien domain. ”
The tone was solemn, and it was clearly a deliberate decision.
Lord Rong's eyes flashed slightly, and he reached out and tapped the back of the chair gently, "Tell me your reason?"
Xiao Chen saluted and said in a deep voice: "Ling Yuanxing is the old capital of my Rong country, no matter what, it was once the land of the lord of the country, and I am afraid that there will be many inappropriateness in giving it to the ministers, and it will attract criticism from the ministers of the DPRK and China." And the old capital of the kingdom of Qian, almost for the same reason, if the minister really chooses this fiefdom, it will definitely cause twists and turns in the country. Even so, the minister could only choose a third fief. ”
"These words have been said countless times by the cabinet people, and Lone doesn't want to hear it again, what Lone wants is what you really think in your heart. Lord Rong waved his hand, and his face faintly showed a little dissatisfaction.
Xiao Chen smiled slightly bitterly and arched his hand to speak, "In this case, the minister has no choice but to tell the truth." At the beginning, in order to completely control the Xiao Zi Department, the minister had to take tough measures to pull up all the forces of the domestic forces into it, and now although the minister is the duke of the country, no one dares to confront the minister, but the secret calculation is inevitable. If Ling Yuanxing and the surrounding Xiuzhen Stars are really used as the territory, I am afraid that the minister will not want to live a peaceful life. As for Tianyuan Wangxing, this place cannot be chosen, although now that the Kingdom of Xuan no longer exists, some of the old forces will still remain, and the ministers can be regarded as having made a great contribution to the collapse of the Kingdom of Yuan, and when they get there, the end may be even more miserable than in Ling Yuanxing. Of the three places, only the asteroid system close to the desolate alien domain is the best choice, although it is remote and barren, but the old forces left behind by the country are the least, and it is easier for them to gain a firm foothold. ”
Lord Rong nodded slightly, "That's all?"
Xiao Chen's face instantly turned solemn, and he saluted respectfully, "The first thing I said is also the reason, presumably the result of the discussion of the adults in the cabinet department is most likely to let the minister go to this remote galaxy, maybe the lord of the country has not made a decision because he can't bear it, but the minister has no complaints!"
"If there is no edict from the lord of the country, the minister will not be able to join the army smoothly, and there will be no today's meritorious deeds, all of which are given by the lord of the country, and the minister is willing to guard the frontier for the lord of the country! If there is a chance, he can even invade the desolate alien realm, open up a new star field, and continue to expand the territory for the lord of the country, in order to repay the great kindness of the lord!"
This statement was firm and powerful, and Xiao Chen's face was sincere, and the image of a loyal and patriotic minister jumped out.
The lord of the Rong Kingdom was suspicious, and he couldn't help but be slightly moved at this moment, and his face softened a little, "Xiao Qing, you have to think clearly before making a choice, the Wild Star Domain is extremely dangerous, not only there are all kinds of fierce beasts, but also extraterritorial cultivation is rampant." Although the quality of the galaxy here is good, it has been harassed by the desolate alien domain since the Qiang Kingdom took over, and it has not been developed at all, and it has to be stationed in a large army all year round, and it is tired. If you really choose this place, I'm afraid you won't be able to enjoy it at all. ”
"The matter of being loyal to the monarch, the minister is the minister of the lord, so he should share the worries and solve the problems for the lord. Since the border is unstable, the minister cannot choose to retreat because of this. ”
"Please allow the lord of the country to give this far star domain to the minister as a territory! The minister guarantees that as long as the minister is in one day, it will be a barrier for the kingdom, and it will definitely prevent foreign forces from entering the territory of my Rong country for half a step!"
Xiao Chen opened his mouth in a deep voice and saluted deeply.
The lord of Rong pondered for a long time before he nodded slowly, "Okay! I hope that Xiao Qing can be diligent and self-reliant, and don't let down today's arrogance and the weight of the lonely king!"
"The minister will do his best!"
"The fiefdom matter has come to an end for the time being, now that the time has been delayed for a long time, there is not much time before the luncheon, and the lonely one will leave first, after Xiao Qing changes into the Guogong Chinese clothes, there will naturally be a close attendant waiting for you to go to the banquet hall. The lord of Rong got up and walked away.
Xiao Chen saluted respectfully and said, "Congratulations to the lord of the country." After a pause, after the lord of Rong was completely away, he slowly raised his head, his expression was calm, but his heart was solemn, and his palms were slightly wet.
#####
Regarding the setting of the Great Thousand Worlds, seeing the dissatisfaction and disappointment of many Taoist friends, I think I should say a few words.
The setting of the "country" of the Great Thousand Realms was thought of by Baozi a long time ago, which can be seen from Xiao Chen's inheritance of the bloodline of the Doro Naga clan and the appearance of the word Great Song Kingdom.
In the world I conceived, the Great Thousand Realms were far more magnificent and vast than the Small Thousand Realms, and with the Cultivation Star as a unit, it was an incomparably vast world! In this world, the various cultivation resources were countless times higher than those of the Small Thousand Realms and the Mayfly Realm, and with the addition of almost endless territories, countless powerhouses could emerge. In this world, longevity, bottlenecks, and moods are not enough to become the key to restricting the improvement of cultivation, and the only thing that matters is resources!
The path of cultivation is becoming more and more difficult, and further requires the consumption of extremely terrifying cultivation resources, so Baozi came up with the path of "killing life to seek the Tao" and "creating the kingdom of God". Killing and seeking the Tao does not need to be explained, and the creation of the Kingdom of God is to sit on hundreds of millions of territories in the vast worlds, hold hundreds of millions of lions in the palm of your hands, absorb endless beliefs, and gather cultivation resources for your own use. And to do that, you need to go through war. That's why buns added a considerable amount of war scenes in this part.
Because in the war, Xiao Chen can happily kill and seek the Tao, and only then can he gain a firm foothold in the shortest possible time and create his own kingdom of God. Perhaps, as some book friends have said, this is not like the fantasy text they want to read! But the fantasy text does not have to be a fight and competition between individual monks, at least in the vast thousand realms I set, the strength of individual monks is not the strongest before reaching its peak.
This month's dismal monthly pass has proved that everyone is not very acceptable, as a writer, I will try to consider the opinions of book friends, so Baozi will try to compress the link of the war. However, in the great world, the only word in the path of cultivation is "fighting" and "seizing", and war is an indispensable part, which can only be simplified.
This month is already at the end of the month, and I hope that the new month can get out of the low ebb and continue to write a story full of ups and downs for everyone.
Ps1: This section is not included in the charges.
Ps2: Ask for a monthly pass again, give some motivation to change.
