In the city of Xianwan, Wu Jian sat Ye Xi around his neck, followed by Gao Han, enjoying rare comfort and warmth.

A piece of news from Asahi Island made the sting of the huge expenses of Lieqi City much less. Lan Qianye reported that after losing two ships and killing more than 100 people, he finally found a route to Beizhou.

The route was quite difficult, with no supplies along the way, and ended up in a country called Gumo. This country is located in the northeast of Beizhou, far away from the Zhao State.

No wonder this road has been unnavigated, it is really too difficult to walk. But after all, they have found a way, and in the future, the dreadnought army will not have to go around Tianyuan Continent, and then they can go straight to Beizhou.

With such a long journey, the consumption of the army along the way can be described as staggering. If a large city such as Lieqi City followed, it would be equivalent to an additional flying island, which could supply the fleet all the way.

After discovering the importance of Feicheng, Wu Gen asked Sun Hong to loot the public treasury again and restarted the construction of the city.

Due to Teng Jian's reappearance in other provinces, a large number of abandoned Terrans poured into the city. Coupled with the special location of Liangsha Road, more and more merchants from other provinces passed through this place.

With people, this city hidden in the mountains quickly became prosperous, and there was a rare phenomenon of traffic and horse congestion on the streets.

Walking in the city, Wu Gen was like an ordinary passerby, walking in the alleys of the city at will, buying some snacks from time to time and throwing them to Ye Xi around his neck.

"Eh, little bunny, you dare to pee without saying hello." Wu Yan was so angry that he tore Ye Xi off his neck, and his back was already wet.

Gao Han took the giggling Ye Xi, glared at Wu Qian, and carefully wiped his buttocks.

"The owner of the village, the princess has a letter, saying that Queen Murong of Ji Kingdom has arrived." Sun Hong hurriedly found Wu Gan, who was shirtless and scolding the street, and informed Murong Yuqiang of his arrival.

"Why is she here?" Wu Qian couldn't help but be a little surprised, Murong Yuqiang was also a country, how could the people of the world go to the mountains in vain.

"I heard that I came to visit Princess Ji Yan." Sun Hong's expression was a little strange.

"I've seen the Queen." In the Governor's Mansion of the Late City, Wu Yan gave a salute to Murong Yuqiang, who was dressed in palace clothes.

"Master Wu Zhai doesn't need to be polite, it's rude for me to disturb rashly this time." Murong Yuqiang smiled and bent down to give Wu Gen a salute back, without half of the royal reserve.

Wu Gan's expression moved, his official identity was the governor of Ji State, and this Murong Yuqiang was called the owner of the village, which was very strange.

The two humbly sat down with each other, and Ji Yan was on the side with an indifferent face. Although the three of them were very familiar with each other, time has passed, and they are more unfamiliar and polite to each other when they see each other at this time.

"Wu Gan, you and I have known each other for a long time, so it's better to call them by name." Murong Yuqiang gently put down the tea in her hand and smiled lightly. Now she has long since faded away from her previous youthfulness, and her demeanor is more calm and solemn.

"Oh, I don't know why the queen came to my poor country." Wu Yan was noncommittal to Murong Yuqiang's words, and for this, thinking about what her sister had done, she couldn't help but be vigilant.

"This time I came to Xianwan City, one is to see the princess, and the other is to talk to you about something." Murong Yuqiang put her hands in front of her and looked at Wu Yan calmly.

"The queen should just say it, don't make fun of me." Ji Yan fiddled with a few mountain flowers in the plum vase next to the table and glanced at Murong Yuqiang.

Murong Yuqiang didn't care about Ji Yan's attitude, and nodded at Wu Yan with a smile, "There is indeed something going on here this time. Although the road of Liangsha and other roads is hung under the name of Ji Kingdom, it is no different from other countries, I think, I might as well write to the Heavenly Palace, and simply establish a new province or country, in line with the truth. ”

Wu Yan thought about it, but he didn't agree with the other party's opinion. Now with the fame of the Dreadnought, some families in Kuntianzhou have begun to be dissatisfied with Wu Gan. At this time, if he broke away from the Ji Kingdom and Bailing Province, wouldn't he put the dreadnought army on the fire and roast it, and the pressure on Wu Gen would also increase suddenly. Besides, sooner or later, he would have to withdraw the main force from Kuntianzhou, and at that time, the five roads under his own jurisdiction would become the target of public criticism. It's better to hang under the names of Ji Kingdom and Bailing Province, and there can be some places to maneuver.

Seeing that Wu Gen didn't want to break away from Ji Kingdom, Murong Yuqiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she was testing Wu Gen's tone, and she didn't want Liang Ge to wait for independence in her heart. After all, it is a nominal territory, and it is convenient for its own family to intervene, just like at the moment, Liangsha Mountain can come if you want to, and others have no reason to stop it.

"Since the lord of Wu Zhai is unwilling to stand on his own, let's maintain the status quo." Murong Yuqiang straightened her hair, hesitated for a moment and then spoke: "My Ji country does not have a good port, I don't know if I can borrow Hengmen Port." Of course, the rent will of course be paid.

This time I went to Xianwan City, but I also heard that the dreadnought army was strapped for support, and Ji Guo could pay ten years' rent in advance to solve the urgent needs of the dreadnought army. It's just that the dreadnought army has to open up the trade routes of Liangsha, Haidai, Jiameng and other roads, and the Ji country caravan can go directly to Hengmen Port from here, of course, the customs duties also have to be paid, you see how it is. ”

Wu Gan was moved when he heard this, and he was unconsciously overjoyed, and now what he lacks most is money. Due to lack of money, the shipyard has been suspended, and even the construction of Xujing Island has been affected, "Very good, the queen's move is really a charcoal in the snow, then I am not welcome." ”

Murong Yuqiang smiled slightly, lifted the lid of the cup with her orchid fingers, and brushed away a piece of tea that rose and fell in the hot water, "There is one more thing, Lord Wu Zhai, my Ji Kingdom wants to make a private alliance with the Dreadnought Army, the two sides will not invade each other, if one side is in trouble, the other side must be fully supported." ”

Wu Yan groaned slightly, and said with a smile: "The queen is a little too careful in this move, I think you also know that my fearless military ambition is not in Kuntianzhou." Besides, Ji Guo has Ji Ye, I will definitely do my best to assist, so why do I need this paper covenant. ”

Ji Yan glanced at Murong Yuqiang, and sighed in her heart, her sister-in-law obviously didn't believe in the dreadnought army, and she was afraid that the army would go north and enter the Ji country, so she mentioned the Laoshzi Covenant. With Wu Qian's temperament, as long as Ji Ye is here, it is impossible to invade Ji Kingdom. Besides, if something happens to Ji Ye, will he sit idly by, this move is really a bit raw.

As if he saw Wu Yan and Ji Yan's thoughts, Murong Yuqiang's expression became more serious, "If Lord Wu Zhai has been staying in Kuntianzhou, I won't be worried." But sooner or later, you are the one who will leave, and it is difficult to say whether the person who is in charge of this stay still remembers this feeling. The brothers still settle the accounts, and some things seem to be a little hurtful, but it is better to take precautions, so as not to have any changes in the future. ”

Wu Yan let out a sigh of relief, and Murong Yuqiang finally explained the purpose of her trip. With the growing strength of the Dreadnought, it does have the strength to subvert a country, which will cause some people in the Ji Kingdom represented by Murong Yuqiang to worry. If you make an alliance, you can make an agreement, so that the dreadnought army has a solid rear.

"Just let Ji Yan and Ye Ziming be responsible for this matter, if there is nothing else to do, please ask the queen to move and go to Xianwan City to have a look, it is the first time you have been here." Wu Gen didn't want to entangle with him in the details, so he got up and invited.

"Very good, I haven't traveled with the princess for a long time, just to see how the scenery of this good mountain is." The purpose of this trip was achieved, and Murong Yuqiang's mood also improved.

Not to mention that Wu Gen and Murong Yuqiang traveled together late, in the middle of Tianyuan Continent, there was a mountain more than 10,000 feet high. The top of this mountain is shining with golden light all year round, and the sky that reflects it is also gorgeous, like a sea of fire, magnificent and extraordinary.

This is the sacred mountain of the Divine Sect, and it is also the holy place in the hearts of the people of Tianyuanzhou.

This mountain did not hide its own mountain gate in the clouds and mist, hidden under the formation, and hidden in a small space like some sects, but stood upright between heaven and earth, confidently displaying its miracles.

Over the years, countless worshippers have left their footprints and bowed down at the foot of the mountain, and although they cannot climb the mountain, as long as they look at it in their lifetime, this life is also complete.

The Divine Cult, according to a continent, has hundreds of millions of believers, this is his self-confidence, this is its confidence. As long as it issues an oracle, the soldiers and horses of the entire continent are also used by it, and countless cultivators can be driven by it. This rolling torrent is enough to destroy everything in the world. The shepherds have been with them for many years, but they have not been beaten back obediently.

If a certain little monkey jumping around in the Kuntianzhou Mountains saw such a grand scene, I am afraid that it would be difficult to have the idea of competing with the Divine Sect.

And on the side of this holy mountain, there are seven peaks hanging in the sky, arching and guarding this holy mountain.

In the blue sky, there was a cold crane chirping, and a white crane was spreading its wings and flying towards the largest mountain.

On the back of the crane, Zhao Ling greedily looked up at the majestic holy mountain. The aura here was so abundant that her face was dyed red.

Although she has seen the holy mountain from afar many times, every time she sees it, she can't help but have a different mind. After looking around cautiously, Zhao Ling opened his arms to the holy mountain, his eyes slightly closed, and his face was full of intoxication, as if he wanted to embrace this mountain in his arms and become a man in his heart.

She is an ambitious woman, since she arrived at the Holy Mountain, looking at such a magnificent pattern, surrounded by romantic characters, she felt that what she did in Zhao Guo was really a bit of child's play, as if she was tossing in a chicken coop.

When I first came to the Holy Mountain, because I was born in a small country on another continent and blasphemed the gods and lawless, I naturally suffered a lot of white eyes. But with his intelligence and skill, Zhao Ling quickly gained a firm foothold in the Holy Mountain, won praise from all over the top, and then entered the eyes of the high-level of the Divine Sect, and his status soared. The previous time was to inspect the temples of various countries as an envoy, such an honor, for a woman from other continents, it can be described as a great creation.

But Zhao Ling also knew that because of her rise in status in the sect, she would definitely attract the jealousy and exclusion of some colleagues from Tianyuanzhou, so she had to find the shelter of some powerful figures in the sect, and the one she visited today was one of her chosen targets.

While he was pondering, there was a slight shock under him, and the white crane landed on the top of the mountain. Zhao Ling quickly returned to normal and tidied up his clothes a little.

This peak is called Chengshen Peak, the scenery is extremely beautiful, the auspicious clouds are shrouded in all directions, the aura is like water, the clouds rise and fall with the wind, there are large and small unknown spiritual objects in the sea of clouds and mountain streams whistling and tumbling.

There are countless strange flowers and plants on the green and verdant mountain peaks, ancient trees and strange vines are coiled, and there are even more waterfalls hanging to the sky, like a white practice falling down, breaking through the flowing clouds and mist.

Walking in the mountains, Zhao Ling respectfully followed behind a divine servant, and the corner of his eyes quietly looked at the scenery that did not look like the world, and he couldn't help but secretly feel a little jealous. When will I be able to have such a strange peak?

"The Holy Son is not in the prayer temple, but is still practicing at the Wangchen Cliff." Seeing that Zhao Ling was suspicious, the divine servant explained slightly, and glanced greedily at the whiteness on the other party's chest. Every time this woman comes, it will be refreshing, and every time she goes, she will attract a lot of admiring or blasphemous eyes.

Zhao Ling wore a plain white dress with a very low neckline today, although he had already given birth to a son, but he still had the charm under the careful dressing, and there was more of the fragrance of alcohol between his demeanor, which was unforgettable at a glance.

"I'm tired of my lordship." Although the other party was a divine servant, Zhao Ling did not dare to underestimate it at all, if he could be a divine servant on this peak, his status in the Divine Sect would not be too low in the future.

All the way through the stream and across the bridge, the flowers and willows, the two finally came to a cliff halfway up the mountain. The waterfall in front of the cliff floats down, like a ribbon of snow dancing gracefully in the air, and the splashing water sprays like countless pearls erupting out, reflecting the sunlight and shining brightly.

In front of the cliff, a man is sitting cross-legged in front of the waterfall. A faint halo is emitted from his body, because he is refracted by water droplets, and the surroundings are full of colors, which is as rich as jade, not like the turbidity of the world.

When he arrived here, the divine servant did not come forward to report, but lowered his head and eyebrows, not daring to make a sound, for fear of disturbing this person's cultivation.

Zhao Ling also bowed his head and waited quietly at his side, and even his breathing was lighter. The man in front of him was Bu Linchen, the Holy Son of the Divine Sect, and every time he saw him, Zhao Ling felt a little ashamed of himself.

"God has made it hard." The halo around the man gradually disappeared, and he slowly turned around, but he was a young man who was fresh and handsome, and his eyes were as clear as a galaxy.
