Volume 4 Chapter 229 Strange Requests, Changing Heavens
Although it was well deserved, it was impossible for Long Chen to pretend not to see him waiting in the room to wait for Ning Changde to go upstairs in person, and after noticing that Ning Changde and his party had appeared, he immediately went downstairs, and when he reached the entrance of Jiahe Palace, Ning Changde raised his hand slightly, and the elders who followed him also stopped in time.
"I've seen Chang Degong and all the elders. β
Long Chen hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully, regardless of Ning Changde's identity, his age and strength alone were enough to make him feel awe.
"You're in a hurry, aren't you?"
Ning Changde smiled slightly, his face was full of red light, the joy of his mood at the moment was completely overflowing, he whispered to let the elders wait outside the Jiahe Hall for a while, then stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull Long Chen's arm, and said softly with a kind gaze: "Let's go, go upstairs and talk." β
The thirty elders who came over were naturally hung outside the Jiahe Palace, in fact, Ning Changde has never liked to follow a group of people behind, but this is the rule set by the Ning family's guard, and he can't change it even if he is the head of the family.
Xiao Yun, Xiao Long Ling, and Qiangzi left the Jiahe Hall with Ning Jiying half an hour ago, and now in the entire hall, Long Chen was the only one.
On the way upstairs, Ning Changde suddenly spoke: "You have lived here for so long, I'm afraid you don't know the purpose of this Jiahe Palace, right?"
"Could it be some special use?"
Long Chen asked with some curiosity, he still remembered that when he first came, he was told by Tong Yuan not to leave without permission at night, obviously the area where the Jiahe Hall was located should belong to a more important place in the Ning family's inner mansion.
Ning Changde stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "This Jiahe Hall is actually a place where my Ning family has been grounded and retreated after punishing the members of the inner room for committing crimes. β
Long Chen couldn't help but be stunned.
Then, Ning Changde added softly with emotion: "When I was young, I often lived here. β
β......β
Long Chen blinked, he really didn't know what to say.
Entering the house, Ning Changde walked to the chair by the window and sat down, and after motioning for Long Chen to sit down, he groaned slightly, looked at Long Chen Zhengse and said: "Those words that praise you, I won't say more, you are quite clear about the importance of this Xuandou Conference, and my Ning family can get the first choice of the six continents this time, all the credit is on you, in other words, you let my Ning family is expected to return to the top of the six families in the next hundred years, such a credit, even if I have been the head of the family for more than 30 years, it can't be compared." β
Long Chen bowed his head slightly and said: "Changde Gong, you are serious, I just met this kind of opportunity at the right time, and then did some things that should have been done, how can it be compared to Chang Degong's hard work for the Ning family for more than 30 years." β
If someone else said this kind of modesty, Ning Changde might have been regarded as the wind in his ears, but this sentence came out of Long Chen's mouth, which made him quite useful.
Long Chen is not a pure sycophant, looking at the current head of the six families, he can really be approachable and misbehaved, it is estimated that only Ning Changde is the only one, but it is conceivable that Ning Changde, who often patronized the Jiahe Hall when he was young, can be regarded as a problem young man, and after serving as the head of the family, the temperament of the whole person has completely changed, isn't this a kind of dedication?
Ning Changde's style of treating people for more than 30 years after serving as the head of the family naturally also affects the top and bottom of the Ning family, the reason why Long Chen is willing to join the Ning family is because of Ning Zhiying's kindness and kindness, and Ning Zhiying's character, how can it not have anything to do with Ning Changde?
Just imagine, if Ning Zhiying's personality was the same as Gong Yue's, it would be impossible for Long Chen to work for the Ning family.
At this time, a waitress brought tea, and when the waitress left, Ning Changde took a sip of tea, looked at Long Chen and said, "You should have thought about what you want my Ning family to promise, right?" You don't have to worry, you can say whatever you want, as long as my Ning family can satisfy you, I will definitely not shirk." β
Speaking of this, Ning Changde smiled slightly, put down the teacup, and hooked his lips: "Even if you want to take charge of the Xuanzong Hall of the Zhongzhou Continent in the future, there is no problem. β
Hearing this, Long Chen was stunned.
Ning Changde was able to say this, which showed the importance of the things that the Ning family could promise to Longchen, and the Xuanzong Hall in charge of the Zhongzhou Continent meant that he could involve the Divine Ding that could refine the Guluo Pill, which was definitely the most core position for the Ning family, who had just taken charge of the Zhongzhou Continent.
There is no doubt that the Ning family really values Long Chen, especially Ning Changde, although Long Chen is only seventeen years old now, and his strength is only at the middle level, but in Ning Changde's heart, he is no less important than a sect-level elder of the Ning family.
It's just that from Ning Changde's words, Long Chen learned an additional very important thing.
The control of the six continents of the six masters of the Heavenly City is not really out of the matter, above the sect masters of the Xuanzong Hall of the various continents under the management of the six families, there are obviously cronies from the six families in charge, but this kind of control is not known to anyone, but it really exists.
The Xuanzong Hall in charge of the Zhongzhou Continent, this is indeed a temptation that is difficult to refuse, but after all, it is difficult to escape the fate of the chess pieces, the power system between the Xuanzong Hall and the six families on each continent, since it has existed for so long, it must be quite solid, and it is impossible to infiltrate, except for the head of the six families, as well as the six emperor-level garrisons that the dragon has no end in sight, it is estimated that no one will really want to control it.
However, the request that Ning Changde assumed was somewhat consistent with the request that Long Chen wanted to make.
"Thank you Chang Degong for your trust, it's just that I don't want to go to the Qingzhou Continent. β
Long Chen replied gratefully, and then, after a little silence, he looked at Ning Changde and said, "Don't hide it from Changde Gong, I have already decided to return to the Hainei Continent." β
"I see. β
Ning Changde didn't seem surprised, and said with a smile: "So, the request you want to make should be related to the Hainei Continent?"
"Yes. β
Long Chen nodded, sorted it out a little, and said the words that he had already thought of: "Presumably Changde Gong, you also know that my grandfather Fan Jingyun is the head of the Fan family in the Hainei Continent, and now the Fan family is in trouble with the soldiers of the Dayu Kingdom, but due to the lack of help from the Venerable Xuan, the war has been lost again and again, and the situation is very sinister, I can't sit idly by, therefore, I want to go back to the Hainei Continent to help my grandfather." β
"I know this very well. β
Ning Changde nodded, stroked his beard and said, "It is reasonable that you want to help the Fan family." β
"It's just that I've been thinking that even if I help the Fan family succeed in an incident one day and successfully establish a country on the domestic mainland, it is difficult to guarantee that one day it will be destroyed again because of some things. β
Speaking of this, Long Chen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "So, I dare to make a request to you Changde Gong, I don't know...... Can the Ning family give the Fan family a thing similar to the gold medal of the Xuanzong Palace, after the Fan family establishes the country and demarcates the territory, the Fan family can enjoy a hundred years of inviolable rights, including the Xuanzong Hall on the mainland of the sea. β
Hearing Long Chen's request, Ning Changde couldn't help but pause, and said with a smile: "Your request is really special." β
In fact, it is more appropriate to describe it as strange, let the Ning family go to protect the peace of an ordinary country for a hundred years, this is simply a bit of a knife to kill chickens, and it is difficult for Ning Changde to understand why Long Chen took the opportunity that was hard-won to protect the Fan family's peace for a hundred years.
Seeing that Ning Changde didn't show any embarrassment, Long Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he still made a cautious appearance and asked, "Is my request a bit excessive?"
Ning Changde smiled and said, "Why do you ask that?"
Long Chen thought for a moment and said, "I remember that Gong Changde said last time that the Ning family would choose the Zhongzhou Continent this time. β
Ning Changde smiled and asked, "Could it be that the Ning family chose the Zhongzhou Continent, so they don't have any right to speak in the Hainei Continent?"
Long Chen didn't reply, but looked at Ning Changde curiously.
Ning Changde took a sip of tea and said slowly: " You should still remember the special features of the six continents that I told you last time, therefore, the control of our six major families over them is also based on those things that are beneficial to us, and the establishment of the Xuanzong Hall in the six continents, on the one hand, is to avoid vicious competition between the six major families, which will bring ruin to the ordinary people of the six continents, and on the other hand, it is also convenient for the other families to take over in the shortest possible time when the control is changed once in a century, which is the main reason why the sect master and deputy sect master of the Xuanzong Hall of the six continents do not know who the six major families they serve areγ β
Ning Changde explained in such detail, of course, Long Chen could understand it at once, showing a look of sudden realization, and doubted: "So, as long as the Fan family does not infringe on the interests of the six major families in charge of the Hainei Continent, the Ning family can meet my request just now?"
"Yes. β
Ning Changde nodded and said: "The other continents are a little more complicated, and the existence of the six major families in the sea continent is only the six major domains and the Troubled Stone Sea, among which the Troubled Stone Sea is the most important, so as long as the Fan family does not involve the Troubled Stone Sea, my Ning family can meet your requirements." β
Speaking of this, Ning Changde paused slightly, looked at Long Chen and asked, "It's just, are you sure you want to make this request?"
Long Chen didn't answer immediately, but asked tentatively, "This matter shouldn't be easy to do, right?"
If it was really easy to achieve, Long Chen felt that he might have to reconsider.
Of course, Long Chen's mind can't escape Ning Changde's discernment, but this is also a very normal thing, if Long Chen really doesn't care about gains and losses, it would be strange, because in Ning Changde's opinion, Long Chen is not an irrational person, if such a person makes some irrational choices on important issues, there will definitely be some secrets behind it.
"It's not easy. β
Ning Changde shook his head and said: "Because this involves my Ning family must reach a binding agreement with other family heads who will control the Hainei Continent in the next hundred years, no matter who violates it, they will be punished as they deserve, and at the same time, they also need the other four family heads to be present at the same time to witness, this matter is not difficult to handle in terms of severity, but the process is very complicated, and my Ning family must also make certain concessions elsewhere, I say this, do you understand?"
"Yes. β
Long Chen nodded, it was obvious that if he didn't pay the "right of promise" that he had obtained by helping the Ning family gain control of the Zhongzhou Continent for a hundred years, it would be impossible for Ning Changde to rely on him alone, and it would be impossible to fulfill the request he made, because this matter had reached the level and height of requiring the heads of the six families to come forward to agree.
After Long Chen thought for nearly a minute, Ning Changde asked, "So, what is your final decision?"
Long Chen smiled slightly and replied, "That's it." β
Now that Long Chen has decided, Ning Changde naturally didn't say anything more, in fact, Long Chen's avoidance of the important is also a good thing for the Ning family, and it also makes Ning Changde breathe a sigh of relief, although Long Chen has great potential, but his current age and strength are still too low, if he really puts forward a similar request to take charge of the Xuanzong Hall in the Zhongzhou Continent, he is really a little difficult to do.
"When are you going to go?"
When he arrived at the gate of Jiahe Palace, Ning Changde turned around and asked.
Long Chen replied softly, "Tomorrow." β
Ning Changde ordered, "Let Elder Zhong accompany you to the Hainei Continent." β
"Thank you Chang Degong. β
Long Chen immediately said gratefully, Ning Changde's move was obviously for the sake of his safety after returning to the Hainei Continent, as long as he was accompanied by Elder Zhong, he could virtually avoid a lot of trouble from the Heavenly City, and this was also a substantial support for the Ning family to build the Fan family, and it was also a kind of deterrent and restraint for those who helped the gold medal holders of the royal family of the Yu Kingdom.
Of course, after returning to the Hainei Continent, it would be impossible for Long Chen to let Elder Zhong follow him all day long, but if Elder Zhong was in charge of Shangjing City, the Fan family would no longer be threatened by the words released by the two clan-level powerhouses of Koulong.
Regarding the agreement that no one can invade for a hundred years after the founding of the Fan family, Ning Changde promised that it would be completed within one month, but the premise is that it is built on the basis of the founding of the Fan family, which also means that the day of the founding of the Fan family is also the time when the "Fan Family Centennial Agreement" really takes effect.
Therefore, Long Chen must rush back to the Hainei Continent as soon as possible, but the purpose of his trip is not to make the Fan family's territory more extensive, but to let the Fan family move to the northern principality!
There is no doubt that the Baofan family has been invasive for a hundred years, and the ultimate goal is actually to find a new vitality for the two pavilions and three halls!
This is the proposal of the white fox, the plan of the dark warehouse.
It is impossible for Long Chen to ask the Ning family to come forward to protect the two pavilions and three halls, so the only feasible way is to protect the Fan family in the open, and secretly protect the two pavilions and three palaces.
When the agreement is reached and comes into effect, the two pavilions and three halls only need to retreat to the border of the Fan family, and at that time, the Xuanzong Hall may only be able to clear the two pavilions and three halls outside the border of the Fan family, and the two pavilions and three halls will also get a new chance to survive for a hundred years.
Although, the two pavilions and three halls will have to give up the interests of the chaotic stone sea and fall into a period of hibernation completely, at least they don't have to completely perish, and they don't have to become a pure puppet.
After spending the last night in the Jiahe Palace, in the early morning of the second day, Long Chen and Elder Zhong left the Ning Family's Inner Mansion together, and after seeing the Tao to his mother, he immediately went to the location of the teleportation stone platform leading to the Tianhai Floating Island.
Three days later, Zhu Zicheng finally got the gambling money after a few days and nights, and returned to the Hainei Continent with Qiangzi, and returned on the same day as the two of them, as well as the Sect Master and Deputy Sect Masters of the Xuanzong Hall of the Hainei Continent.
The countermeasures for the mutation of the Six Domains City seem to have already had results.
In the domestic continent, it is finally time to change the sky.
