Chapter 175: The New Qin Empire
A few days later, the Qinglong Kingdom completed the shortest interval of imperial power change in history.
At this time, Qin Li had already embarked on the road to the new Qin State.
From the Qinglong Kingdom to the New Qin Kingdom, there is a Great Qi Country in between, Qin Li hired a carriage very low-key, the road was smooth, the carriage was comfortable, Qin Li was recuperating all the way, just like that, more than 20 days later, Qin Li finally appeared in Shangyuan City, the capital of the New Qin State.
Walking on the road of Shangyuan City, it feels fundamentally different from Qinglong City, it can be said that this is the most prosperous city that Qin Li has ever visited in this world!
There are countless businesses on both sides of the street, and the smooth road paved with huge bluestones is crowded with people, shouting and selling, one after another.
There are many luxuriously decorated restaurants and inns, and the wealth of this country can also be seen from the clothes of the people who come and go.
All aspects converge into two words - strong country!
That's right, this is the most powerful emerging country in the east of the Tian Yuan Continent, the New Qin State!
Why is it called the New Qin State, it is because the Qin State a hundred years ago was a weak and small country with a territory area less than half of the Great Qi State, the national resources were scarce, the land was barren, and the royal family was arrogant and extravagant, greedy, weak and incompetent externally, and forcibly seized internally.
More than 90 years ago, a mysterious force appeared, with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying, instantly destroyed the royal family of the new Qin State, and then the leader of that force, Cui Hong, established himself as the emperor and changed the name of the country to the New Qin State, and then in the past ten years, a crazy war of territorial expansion began!
Until today, three or four surrounding countries have been destroyed by him, and it is precisely because of the deterrence of this powerful force that Qinglong and other five countries will sign a five-nation alliance, and what I am afraid of is that the new Qin State will come to the door one day!
In the past five years, the new Qin State has been recuperating without any war, and it seems to be very calm on the surface.
However, according to the news reported back by the secret agents of various countries, the new Qin State has never stopped its ambition to expand its territory!
Although other countries hate and fear the New Qin State, for the New Qin State's own people, they have a strong sense of national honor, because their emperor has turned their lives upside down from the past!
In addition, taxes are very light, and all kinds of businesses have a strong vitality here.
Now the common people of the entire New Qin State almost do not say that the emperor is bad, which can be regarded as the ultimate for a regime.
In the past ninety years, the new Qin State has only rotated four generations of emperors, and each emperor has a long lifespan. And there is a legend that Emperor Cui Qi's strength has reached the heavenly level!
Of course, there are even rumors that there is a powerful mysterious force behind the royal family of the New Qin State, supporting them to annex the surrounding countries, and making the forces behind those countries dare not make any revenge at all!
This shows that the power of the New Qin State is very strong, and among their army, the number of heaven-level masters has exceeded three thousand! And in the royal family of the New Qin State, there are dozens of powerhouses in the Heaven Breaking Realm!
An insider even revealed that the royal family of the New Qin State was actually a superpower in a mysterious place! Otherwise, how could they have cultivated so many heaven-level powerhouses in just a few decades? How could there be a warrior who broke through the heavens and appeared in the royal family in a grand manner? How could it be possible for the forces behind the destroyed countries to dare to be angry and dare not speak out?
All of this actually illustrates a problem, that is, this new Qin State is definitely not simple!
And this country, so far, also has all the ingredients to become a super-empire, and it seems that becoming that kind of super-giant is also a matter of waiting.
This point, up and down the New Qin State, all think so.
Cui Qi, who is in his fifties, can't see it at all from his appearance, and he doesn't know, he thinks that this elegant-looking emperor is a person less than forty years old!
Cui Qi's upper lip, with a mustache, a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, some sunken eye sockets, a hooked nose, a straight waist, broad shoulders and a narrow back, gives people the first feeling that this emperor is a shrewd character, not easy to fool.
His marriage with Zhao Qianqian, the princess of the Qinglong Kingdom, is still three days, it is a new Qin country's zodiac auspicious date, but at this moment, Emperor Cui Qi's mood is not happy.
Because he received a message that shocked him very much, and he was angry!
First, it was the narration of the two Heaven Breaking Realm martial artists who had just rushed back, and then they got a message from the letter falcon, the Qinglong Kingdom...... It's changed hands!
For Cui Qi, who is ready to start a new round of battle after marrying the princess of Qinglong Kingdom, this is really not good news.
"Two senior brothers, are you saying that that young man is the young man with a high status in the eyes of the people of the Blue Dragon Kingdom, Qin Li, from his body, exudes that kind of momentum that is stronger than you?" Cui Qi's calm face didn't show any expression, but his words still made the two Heaven Breaking Realm martial artists feel a little embarrassed.
Indeed, two powerhouses who were almost deified in the eyes of secular people were actually frightened away by the momentum exuded by a young man.
This matter, no one will feel good.
In particular, when the world knew the identities of these two people, and after the two left, Zhao Xinghe, the emperor who was vigorously supported by the New Qin State, died mysteriously like his father Zhao Yuanli.
After the Second Highness Zhao Xinghai ascended the throne, he couldn't wait to announce the re-signing of the five-nation alliance agreement, and would give justice and explanation to the other four countries for the mistakes made by the Qinglong Kingdom before, and then openly condemned the New Qin State, sent people to attack and kill the royal family of the Qinglong Kingdom, as well as his father, and declared the princess and relatives invalid, and asked the New Qin State to return the princess of the Qinglong Kingdom as soon as possible, and not to let an innocent girl be involved in the political whirlpool!
This is actually equivalent to the defeat of the New Qin State before it has even set out on the expedition. I was slapped in the face!
Cui Qi squinted his eyes and sneered in his heart: Give it back to your princess? Okay! When I marry her openly and use it once, I will return it to you immediately!
At this time, one of the two Heaven Breaking Realm martial artists who were sitting at the bottom with a somewhat ugly face nodded and said, "Your Majesty, what you said is right, it is that young man, alas, I am ashamed that I failed to complete the task assigned by Your Majesty...... We're going to go back to the master and be punished!"
At this time, Cui Qi had a gentle smile on his face, waved his hand, and said: "What are the two senior brothers talking about, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, who can guarantee that they will not lose the battle in this life? Before, he won over Zhao Xinghe just to reduce some trouble, who would have thought that Zhao Xinghe was so bad, and the mud couldn't support the wall! I'm afraid that even if there is no Qin Li, once the two of you leave, he will be replaced by his second brother sooner or later, but then the Qinglong Kingdom will fall into a civil war, and the situation will be slightly better than now......
Cui Qi said and said with a slight smile: "That young man named Qin Li, but I was surprised, how old is he? Sixteen years old? Seventeen years old?"
The two Heaven Breaking Realm martial artists said with an embarrassed expression: "There is definite news, saying that Qin Li is only sixteen years old this year!"
Hiss!
There were other people in the room, and they couldn't help but gasp when they heard this.
One of them lost his voice and said, "This ...... Sixteen years old...... With just momentum, you can suppress two Heaven Breaking Realm martial artists?"
Of the two Heaven Breaking Realm martial artists who were already holding back the fire in their bellies, one of the old men said with a pale face: "What does Senior Brother Huo mean, we are lying?"
The old man known as Senior Brother Huo smiled faintly, shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that, I just thought it was a little incredible, sixteen years old...... Tsk, this strength is really admirable!"
"What do you mean, surnamed Huo? Don't think that you are older than our brother and a little stronger, so you can point fingers at us! Your master is not stronger than ours! Also, if you were in Qinglong that day, maybe you would not be as good as our brother!"
"Not necessarily. The old man surnamed Huo smiled proudly, and then said: "If the old man meets that kid, he will definitely be told that there will be no return!"
"The surname Huo, if you don't accept it, let's try it now!"
"Hey, just compete, I'm afraid you won't succeed? If not, let you two brothers together!"
"You're looking for death!"
"You're just looking for death!" "Okay, okay, don't quarrel!" Cui Qi frowned and sighed: "Let's say a few words!" I believe that the two senior brothers of the martial arts family will never lie, but they are a little lamented that the young man is so young but has such a high strength, and is a little curious about his origins, we people, gathered together, for the same purpose, which one of you has in your eyes? My father, my grandfather...... Alas, haven't they all been emperors for decades, and they can't wait to go back to retreat and practice?"
The old man, surnamed Huo, snorted lightly, and then said: "The two junior disciples of the martial family, didn't you say that that kid would come to rescue their princess? The old man is waiting! I want to see how a sixteen or seventeen-year-old doll cultivated to the realm of heaven!"
In the room, another old man played a round and said: "This, I can't tell what treasures that the young man is carrying on his body, which can release a powerful momentum......
The two martial artists of the Heaven-Breaking Realm of the Martial Family were not so angry at this time, and they all sneered: "You don't trust our two senior brothers, it's okay, it really doesn't matter! We don't care, that young man will definitely come, maybe at this time, he has already arrived in Shangyuan City! You ...... Sooner or later, I'll meet him!"
"I'm looking forward to it!" the old man surnamed Huo, with a touch of disdainful ridicule on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of pride.
