Chapter 239: Inauguration—Chapter 240: The Banquet
Chapter 239 Three years after taking office, the spaceship docked on time at the interstellar port of Yanjing in the Celestial Empire in the center of the Fengxuan Continent, and Yang Tong and the others stepped off the spaceship.
More than 300 years have passed, and I feel that I have changed a lot, and my emotions are quite complicated. I don't know if this counts as a homecoming?
"Brothers, we have broken up here, and I wish you all success. Yang Tong looked at Bai Ying, Duanmulei, and Ren Pingsheng, who came back with him, and said with their fists.
"Okay, we'll see you later. The other three were not arrogant, but echoed in unison, for each of them had their own tasks, and each was different, and the heavens were different. You can't help each other, and you can't communicate with each other.
Yang Tong did not delay, and after getting off the spaceship, he directly took his escort team to the teleportation site as quickly as possible, and teleported to Wuxuan City, Yanjing, Wuxuan Empire.
The Wuxuan Empire is an empire located in the westernmost part of the Fengxuan Continent, and the lord of the empire is the Wuxuan Shenhou, Yang Tong also knows that this Shenhou does not belong to the Mercenary Guild, but a scattered cultivation Shenhou, and after becoming a marquis, he was rewarded by the upper echelons of the human race, and he established a country here and enjoyed endless glory and power.
Wuxuan Empire, under the royal family Wu clan, with the strongest five families, the first Zhang family known as the prime minister's family, the ancestor of the Zhang family is the founder of the Wuxuan Empire, at the beginning of the establishment of the empire made a lot of contributions, but also the first prime minister of the Wuxuan Empire, since then the Zhang family has laid a deep foundation in the Wuxuan Empire, has been passed down to the present.
In the long inheritance, the Zhang family has produced a total of seven prime ministers and thirteen auxiliary ministers, with great power and profound heritage. The flower family in the Xuanqin Inland Sea is also a demigod family, but compared with the Zhang family, it is far inferior.
The second, the Wang family, the current head of the family is the Minister of Finance of the Wuxuan Empire, the inheritance is not as long as the Zhang family, but the strength is also not small, and the most important thing is that the Wang family is the richest family among the five major families.
The third, the Tang family, is also a family with a long heritage, the head of the family, Emperor Wu Xuan's [***] minister, and his power in the military is quite strong.
The fourth, the Song family, is a demigod family in the south of the Wuxuan Empire, this family does not serve above the court, but controls more than half of the commercial share of the Wuxuan Empire, and is also a fairly wealthy family, but the history of this family is not as good as the Wang family, and the background is not as strong as the Wang family.
The fifth, the Murong family, is a well-rounded family, some of its children are mixed in the military circles, and some are mixed in the political circles, and their business ability is also not weak.
The division of authority of the Mercenary Guild is actually very simple, and the Mercenary Guild established here in Yanjing of the Central Celestial Dynasty is the general association that governs all the other branches of the entire Fengxuan Continent.
The continental state (Central Celestial Empire) governs the empire, the empire governs the kingdom, the kingdom governs the first-class city, and so on.
In the three years that Yang Tong has been on the spaceship, in addition to cultivating, he is collecting this information, and the power of he, the head of the empire-level mercenary guild, is still quite large, and the seventeen kingdoms west of the Wuxuan Empire are all within Yang Tong's jurisdiction.
The Mercenary Guild occupies a large area in the eastern area of Wuxuan City.
At this time, on the side of the Wuxuan City Mercenary Guild, the president and the three vice presidents who had not yet left were waiting at the door with twelve deacons, and the welcome ceremony was also ready.
"Who is coming, so many guild bigwigs are standing at the door to greet them. These words were all in the crowd of onlookers, and most of the staff of the Mercenary Guild knew that a new boss was about to take power.
"I don't know, but it's definitely a big man. ”
"Nonsense!"
.................., "President, when will Lord Yang Tong arrive?" "The one who asked was the first vice president of the guild, the old man in the mirror, the demigod powerhouse!
"It should be almost there, I received news that Lord Yang Tong has arrived in Yanjing of the Celestial Empire, and he came from the teleportation array, and it is almost there. Eclipse replied.
Just when everyone was talking, Yang Tong rushed to the eastern region with his escort team.
"President, here you are, here you are. A young man ran up from a distance and shouted excitedly.
When everyone heard this, they immediately shook their spirits and prepared to greet them.
Everyone saw a young man wearing a tight cyan robe, with an ordinary face but an extraordinary temperament, walking towards this side, and behind him was neatly followed by twenty masters dressed as guards.
The masters glanced at it, and suddenly all of them changed color, and they gasped, because they found that these twenty people were all demigods, and with a full twenty demigod powerhouses as guards, this young man's identity must be amazing, even in the mercenary guild, he is definitely a noble person.
As the leader of the guard, Zong Yue was hidden beside Yang Tong, and with his cultivation, no one present could see through his stealth technique.
The honor guard at the scene was almost uniformly lined up at the same time, waving the honor guard in their hands.
After walking through the guard of honor, there were two rows of waiters, and they bent down in unison and said, "Greetings." ”
A total of four demigod powerhouses greeted the real person, the old man who asked the mirror, the real person who changed the law, and the ancient real person.
"Lord Yang Tong, welcome to your arrival, please forgive me for missing the distance. The four of them seemed to have practiced countless times, and said in unison.
"You are all my seniors, you are welcome, let's go in and talk again. Yang Tong said with a smile on his face, it was too lively here, and Yang Tong was a little uncomfortable.
"Okay, inside, please. Several demigods greeted warmly.
Yang Tong led people into the hall of the Mercenary Guild, and did not stop in the hall, but went directly to the president's office on the top floor.
"Lord Yang Tong, where the responsibility lies, please also go through the handover procedures. Eclipse took out something that looked like a compass, "This is the general controller of all the core formations and powers of the guild, and each president must use his own soul mark to insert it into this groove with the Divine Void Ring when handling the handover." ”
"Well, okay. Yang Tong inserted the ring into the groove, and then infiltrated his divine sense into the compass.
"Di, the verification begins, the latest controller data transmission, the soul mark is verified to be correct, the divine void ring is verified to be speechless, the controller data is verified to be correct, and the new controller is confirmed, Lord Yang Tong. "This is the intelligent core of the compass, which is quite advanced.
And this compass-like controller can not only control all the formation prohibition mechanisms in the Mercenary Guild, including opening the defense system and attack system. It also controls the network terminals of all mercenary guild branches in the Wuxuan Empire, queries all the information in the Wuxuan Empire, and can also call all the forces of the mercenary guilds in the Wuxuan Empire with this authority.
The guild leader can even use it to issue tasks to all the internal disciples who wear auxiliary spirit tools, and the power can be said to be quite huge.
"Okay, Lord Yang Tong, you will be the official president of the Mercenary Guild of the Wuxuan Empire in the future, and tomorrow I will be transferred to the Central Celestial Empire. "Seeing that there is no problem with the formalities, his duties will end here.
Immediately afterwards, the real person of the bamboo eclipse introduced the three vice presidents of the old man, the real person of the law, and the real person of Yigu to Yang Tong.
Under the introduction, Yang Tong also understood the power management model of the Mercenary Guild. The power of the president is very great, but usually all affairs are entrusted to the three executive vice presidents, and everything is voted on by a show of hands between the three of them, and major matters that cannot be decided will be brought to the president.
Therefore, the president of the mercenary guild is not a toiler, and the greatest power held by the president of the mercenary guild belongs to the executive power of the guild, which is commonly known as "military power".
Of course, if a person with great management and power becomes the president, he can also do everything himself.
After the handover of the formalities, all that remains is to scrutinize the accounts and so on.
However, this work cannot be completed in a short period of time, so I will simply put away all the ledgers and take a look at them when I have time in the future. "After a long time in the boat, these accounts are going to be read again tomorrow. ”
Seeing this scene, several people glanced at each other smartly, stood up and said goodbye.
"Okay, Lord Yang Tong, you can rest first, in the palace at night, the reception banquet held by the royal family in person still needs your attendance, so we won't bother. ”
"Yes, yes, Lord Yang Tong, have a good rest. ”
"Come on, take Lord Yang Tong to rest. "Fa Changzhen called a deacon," Deacon Chen, take President Yang to rest. ”
"Thank you for your concern. I'll take my leave first. Yang Tong thanked him kindly.
Yang Tong led people to follow Deacon Chen out of the president's office.
There are only four people left in the president's office.
"Eclipse bamboo, do you think this Yang Tong will seriously check the accounts?" asked the vice president of the law change.
"Well, we've done a perfect job on the books, so there shouldn't be a problem. Yigu Vice President said.
Actually, it doesn't matter whether the accounts are checked or not, what matters is the attitude of the new president, if he is willing, there will be no problem, and if he is unwilling, no problem will become a problem. The old man said lightly.
"Hehe, it depends on whether this new young man is smart enough, but don't worry too much. "Eclipse Bamboo is the most relaxed, because he has already handed over and officially stepped down, and the matter of the Mercenary Guild of the Wuxuan Empire has nothing to do with him.
Chapter 240 Banquet "You were able to get out safely, it's really good luck, sure enough, it was the young master who was sent down by the top to gild, and he didn't understand anything, so he handed over to you directly." Several vice presidents said with great envy.
"Hahaha......" Ezhu laughed.
Under the leadership of Deacon Chen, Yang Tong came to the residential area of the guild, he is the president of the guild, and the place where he lives is naturally different, a large mansion covering an area of 7,000 square meters, this mansion has only been renovated for a short time, and it is also the residence of the guild presidents of previous generations.
The mansion is built in the shape of a ring, the outer part is the place where the guards live, and the inside is where Yang Tong lives.
Yang Tong's escort team was divided into four directions, each looking for its own room, and faintly formed a three-layer protective circle.
Zong Yue also showed his figure and said, "Little uncle, I will live next door to your room, you can rest assured." ”
Yang Tong nodded.
"Actually, Uncle Junior, you shouldn't have taken over the chairman's authority so quickly, according to the procedure, you should check the accounts and files first, and then take it after confirming that they are correct. Zong Yue couldn't help but speak.
"Hehe, why don't I know? It's just that there are some things, you can't take it too seriously, besides, I don't have so much energy to intrigue with those old guys, so it's better to pretend to be ignorant than the surname Suo, if they were smart, they wouldn't bother me, and at the same time, it's better to be at ease under my rule, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless." Yang Tong shook his head and smiled.
Yang Tong is not good at it at all, and besides, if the accounts are fine, it is called strange. In that case, it is better to turn a blind eye.
When the water is clear, there is no fish, how can Yang Tong not understand.
Yang Tong entered his room, closed the door, and released Lin Yueyin and Guan Yuqing with a wave of his hand.
"Young Master (husband). The second daughter exclaimed affectionately.
"You've worked hard for hundreds of years, and you can go out shopping at will in the future. Yang Tong sighed.
"The young master's words are out, we are all monks, hundreds of years, a few retreats have passed, it's nothing. Lin Yueyin shouted dissatisfied.
"Well, whatever you say is what you say. ”
"By the way, which of you will read these account books?" Yang Tong took out a piece of jade slip and asked.
"I will!" the two girls replied in unison.
"Then you two will help me deal with it, don't take it too seriously, I guess this account should have been tampered with. Yang Tong casually threw the jade slip to the two girls, and then turned around and went into the bathroom. The bathroom is also very good, connected to the fire of the center of the earth and the construction of an underground cold spring, which can accommodate more than a dozen people to soak in the hot springs.
After a while, Lin Yueyin and Guan Yuqing also came in to wait.
The three of them soaked in the hot spring, and Yang Tong asked, "What are your plans to come back this time?"
"Where the young master goes, where I go. Lin Yueyin has no worries, and she is completely identical.
Guan Yuqing wanted to speak and stopped.
"Hehe, it's okay, anyway, come to Fang Chang, after a while, I'm going to the palace for a banquet, you stay and wait for me. Yang Tong opened his mouth and said, how could Yang Tong not see Guan Yuqing's unspeakable secret?
This banquet was hosted by the royal family, and it was Yang Tong, the honored guest, who was entertained.
Yang Tong must attend, in the past, Yang Tong, a casual cultivator, didn't need to pay attention to these entertainments, but now that you are the head of a party's forces, the necessary entertainment cannot be refused, this can be regarded as an alternative birth experience, right?
This wash is a few hours, and the scene of goblin fights is naturally indispensable during this period.
After Yang Tong took a bath, he changed into a formal dress, the so-called formal dress is the kind of aristocratic robe used for banquets, and Yang Tong has never worn that kind of complicated aristocratic robe.
It took half an hour just to put it on.
"Your Highness, the flying car is ready to go. A familiar voice came in from outside the door.
"Hey, Xuankong, when did you come?" Yang Tong unexpectedly saw Xuankong, the housekeeper of his residence in the Divine Void Space.
"Back to His Highness, his subordinates have just arrived, and now they have officially taken over the position of housekeeper, and the guild has sent his subordinates out this time in order to better serve His Highness's living and diet, and not to let the young master be distracted by these trivial matters. This time, the subordinates brought fifty carefully selected servants, all of whom were innocent and professionally trained. Xuankong replied respectfully.
When Yang Tong heard this, he immediately understood, why there was no arrangement for such a big mansion, it turned out that the guild had already made arrangements.
As night fell, the banquet hall of the palace was already full of nobles and several powerful families in the capital of the Wuxuan Empire.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the new mercenary guild leader, I heard that he was sent down from above to train, so we have to make good friends. ”
"I have heard that His Highness is a man of great genius. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, I have also heard that His Royal Highness Yang Tong is also a super genius among our human race, young and high, I heard that it is absolutely not a problem to become a god. ”
.................. In the area of the banquet hall close to the main throne, there are all the real powerful families of the empire, including the five major families of Zhang, Wang, Tang, Song, and Murong.
And they are all heavyweights at the head of the house.
At this time, the patriarchs of the five major families gathered in one place.
"Zhang Xiang, what do you think of this His Royal Highness Yang Tong?" asked the head of the Murong family with a glass of spirit wine and squinted his eyes.
"What else can you think? This master is not something we can afford to provoke, it is a super genius selected by the human race from hundreds of millions of geniuses, a big man who is 100% a god in the future, I heard that the background of His Royal Highness Yang Tong is extremely not simple, this news is still from the royal family, otherwise, do you think the royal family will be so enthusiastic about working so hard for an empire-level mercenary guild president?"
"Okay, this new mercenary duke, it's not something we can afford to offend, even if we don't want him, the necessary good karma still has to be concluded. The head of the Wang family said.
"Hmph, old fox, don't you want him to do anything, why did you bring your precious granddaughter?" said the head of the Tang family.
"Hey, can you manage it? My precious granddaughter, talented and beautiful, well-known in the national capital, you are not convinced, you can take out your granddaughter and compare it." The head of the Wang family unceremoniously pushed back.
At this moment, Yang Tong's flying car had already landed, and twenty demigods were guarding beside him, and an old man dressed as a ninth-level housekeeper of the Holy Domain respectfully opened the door for Yang Tong.
Yang Tong, who was wearing a noble robe, stepped out of the car and immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
On the royal family's side, a true god-level prince was greeted by several princes.
"Welcome to His Royal Highness Yang Tong, Prince Xiaqing, these are the sixty-third prince, the sixty-seventh prince and the seventy-first prince, come, please inside. The royal prince greeted him warmly.
Before Yang Tong came, he already knew that there were only a few true gods in the Wuxuan Empire, don't think that in Shenwei City, true gods seemed to be worthless everywhere, but in fact, in the mortal world, true gods were extremely rare.
Wu Xuan Shenhou has been a god for more than 70 million years, and he has given birth to not one thousand but eight hundred, which can be regarded as the most capable master among the true gods of mankind, but his descendants have the blood of the true god and have a god-level Laozi, but there is only one who has become a true god, and it is not a son, but seven generations of grandchildren.
This person is Prince Qing!
The so-called sixty-three princes, sixty-seven princes, and seventy-one princes refer to the ranking among the still living princes, not the total ranking.
On the surface, these princes are the grandparents of Prince Qing, but in fact, in terms of identity, the prince's grade does not worship the emperor, and his identity is far above the prince.
Because in the kingdom opened up by the true god, there is no prince and succession, there is no throne to fight for, the prince is just a noble identity, no real power, and is subject to the jurisdiction of the Zongren Mansion.
If you want to have more power, you have to exchange it for cultivation.
Yang Tong somewhat understood the meaning of the phrase "true god ruthlessness", because the true god has an endless lifespan, this kind of true god kingdom is as stable as a mountain, there is no blood of the prince taking the heir, everything is spoken by cultivation.
Like these three princes who followed the prince to greet Yang Tong, they were the three most promising among the hundreds of princes, all of whom had a cultivation of about the seventh level of the Holy Domain, and they were almost demigods.
For Sacred Realm monks, the lifespan is at least 10,000 years, and the lifespan is increased by 1,000 yuan for each level of cultivation. Don't look at Yang Tong and the other geniuses, all of them have risen to the peak of the Holy Domain in a short period of time, and that is because of the Nine Heart Immortal Apricot.
And the Nine Heart Immortal Apricot is an extremely rare elixir in the Divine Realm, even the Divine Marquis of Wuxuan can't match one for every prince, so it is extremely difficult for the Sacred Domain Cultivator to ascend to each level, and he can reach the seventh level of the Sacred Realm, and his appearance is still extremely young, which is already quite rare, and the possibility of these three people being promoted to demigods is great.
The main master came, and the banquet officially began.
Sitting on the throne chair high above, suddenly a figure descended from the void, sat on it steadily, and saw that its face was like jade, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his face looked not angry but mighty.
"See the lord of the kingdom!" the nobles saluted.
(To be continued)
