The crisis caused by the demon tide is solved. Since then, jellyfish have been stationed in territorial waters, and most of the demons dare not attack.

The safety of the people living by the sea is guaranteed, and the country can develop better. All cities are open to trade, and they are moving towards prosperity and strength together.

All kinds of gadgets that used electricity were brought by merchants and gradually accepted by the common people.

lived and worked in peace and contentment, and Zhu Qinghong, accompanied by Su Rui and Fang You'an, inspected the cities.

The city lords served carefully and devoted themselves to the people. Zhu Qinghong is very satisfied with this, and everyone has a reward.

In the blink of an eye, the sun is scorching in the middle of summer.

When Zhu Qinghong was leisurely enjoying the shade under the grape trellis in the palace, news came from the army patrolling the seaside.

A small boat entered the territorial waters with only a ten-year-old boy on board.

This matter is very strange, and it is deliberately reported to the authorities.

It is difficult for a child to survive in these troubled times, unless he has the power of a priest. She departs for the city by the sea, where she meets the unconscious boy in the barracks.

It is true that he looks about ten years old, but his white hair hangs down to his ankles. looks handsome, and the clothes are not ordinary materials.

Ono carefully scanned it, and the boy had no external injuries all over his body. The reason why he is in a coma is more like a deep sleep.

Because of the shortage of food, consumption is reduced.

Zhu Qinghong nodded and walked out of the tent: "Good life to take care of." When people wake up and bring me to see me, be polite. ”

"Yes." Xu Junzhi and two deputies accompanied him to lunch together.

Halfway through, someone came to inform him that the boy was awake and was waiting outside.

The boy came in and knelt down: "Meet His Majesty the Emperor." ”

He was neither humble nor arrogant, even when he knelt, he spoke as if he were ordinary. He looks like a child, but his posture, expression, tone of voice, etc., all show that he is an adult.

Zhu Qinghong understood, it seemed that time was suspended in this person's body. Maybe it has something to do with your own power, or maybe it's someone else's infliction.

Self-control and upbringing are good, obviously hungry enough to need to live on sleep.

When he came in, he didn't even look at the food on the table. If you didn't know about him, you would really be hidden.

Zhu Qinghong smiled: "It's just the right time to come, let's sit down and eat together." ”

Immediately someone went down and prepared.

The boy sat down and didn't look around. When the food came, he ate slowly.

The moment he tasted it, the boy moved. Then he continued to eat quietly, and he didn't see anything wrong with it.

After eating, come up with fruit after meals.

It's hot, and it's chilled watermelon. Cut into small pieces and place on a plate and eat with a toothpick.

Zhu Qinghong said while eating: "I have seen the navigation lines you have drawn, and minerals have been found on two of the islands. ”

Coal mining is an important resource for industrial development, and there is no reason why it should not be developed since it has been included in the territory of the dynasty.

"A large number of demons have been expelled, and the original demons on the island need to be sent to exterminate them. Xu Junzhi, clean it up as soon as possible. The development of minerals is urgent, and troops and ships are not to be dispatched. Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, you should also move. Zhu Qinghong commanded.

"Yes."

The jellyfish drive away the demons, and only a few native demons remain on the island. The danger is greatly reduced, and it is useless to raise them if it is not solved yet.

Zhu Qinghong immediately summoned Su Rui and Fang You'an: "You two should go shopping with this one." ”

The two were commanded.

The boy hung his head and followed them out of the barracks. There were cars and horse-drawn carriages that went to the castle, but this time I chose a car.

The boy was in a car for the first time, and he was shocked. He looked out the window, wondering what kind of country it was.

Cars are only allowed to drive on the main street when they enter the city. The boy was arranged in the inn, and Su Rui and Fang Youan stayed together.

Their task is not as simple as accompaniment, one is to set intelligence, and the other is to be vigilant. A priest, no matter how harmless he looks, should not be taken lightly.

Those who know nothing are best received by the two of them. In the event of conflict, it can also be suppressed.

At night, the boy stood out the window and looked out at the bright lights. He was in a trance, and he had the illusion of a dream.

How many times have I dreamed of peace and tranquility, full of warmth and abundance.

Isn't everything in front of him really a vision of him wandering on the sea and starving?

The next day, they wandered the streets. Listen to the small talk of the people and feel the comfort of the people under the bustling and lively situation.

"My son was drafted to study in the national capital, and he wrote to me that the whole city was like a fairyland. Don't say that you can't eat enough food and clothes. The toys that the children played, the pen, ink, paper, inkstones used by the students, and the tools made by the craftsmen were all things that we didn't have. ”

"I want to see it, and I don't know if I have a chance in this life. It's hard to settle down and live a down-to-earth life. ”

"Who said there was no chance. The road leading to the capital is almost finished, and you can go if you have money. There are two buses per day. ”

"Really? Oops, there's a lot going on at home. The days are just a little better, and there is no spare money. ”

Several women sighed.

The boy had the thought of going and seeing, "Can I go to the capital?" ”

The seaside city has suffered a disaster and is still rebuilding.

Tianchongcheng is completely different, and has long become the political and economic center of the entire country.

Su Rui and Fang Youan immediately arranged and went by car in the afternoon of the same day. A smooth concrete road through lush mountain forests.

There are post stations and other buildings built on the roadside, so you are not afraid of being trapped in the mountains halfway. They were not in a hurry to enter the city, and stopped for a night's rest.

The sea breeze blows into the forest with a salty taste. The night is quieter and there is no loud noise.

I got up the next day and continued my journey with breakfast.

Su Rui and Fang You'an took turns driving, and they were the first to get their driver's licenses when the vehicle was built.

Walking to the edge of the volcano, there is a checkpoint to stop the car. The fire python, which has turned into a small snake, floats over and checks the passtoken.

Su Rui held up the token and reached out to avoid the head of the silent little snake. It's really not allowed to be touched by anyone except my sister.

After the inspection, the fire python turned and got out of the way.

As the car drove away, the boy who was so nervous that he clenched his fists said with palpitations: "That's a demon." ”

"Of course, the fire python is a demon, and it is also the protector beast of our dynasty. It is ordered by His Majesty to guard the checkpoint, and it will not be released without a token. If you don't accept the trouble, you can't complain about others if you are eaten. Rest assured, as long as it's honest, it won't mess around. Fang Youan didn't know whether to appease or scare.

Out of the forest, all the way to Tianchong City. The road is wide, and the buildings on both sides are full of people.

When they went to the city gate to check, the three of them got out of the car and walked.

There is a rule in Tianchong City that no one is allowed to enter except for the car transporting goods. Horse-drawn carriages can be rented outside to enter the city.

Walking through the city walls, it suddenly became enlightened.

The traffic is busy and the voices are boiling. The people are all well-dressed and have a leisurely posture.

It can be seen that they are not troubled by the plague of demons, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. Bicycles are available in the city, and scooters are available for children.

Sugar gourds, steamed buns, pastries......

The incense floats a few streets.

Children laugh and play, or crowd in front of the stalls to buy food.

If the money is not enough, the two of them buy and eat together. They were so carefree and enjoyed a wonderful childhood.

Su Rui went to an inn: "Let's find an inn to stay in first." Tomorrow I will enter the palace again to meet Your Majesty. ”

The boy stopped, his eyes firm: "Miss Su, can you take me to see Your Majesty now?" I have something to say. ”

Fang Youan and Su Rui looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Entering the palace was not as difficult as imagined, and they led the way unimpeded.

It was noon, and Zhu Qinghong was preparing for dinner. The three of them came to meet her, and she had to postpone lunch: "Xuan." ”

Walking into the imperial study, Su Rui saluted. In the rear, An and Su Rui stood aside.

The boy lifted his robe and knelt down and said earnestly: "My name is Qiandan, and I am a priest. I come from the land of priests, and I have been adrift at sea for two years to get ashore. Thank you, Your Majesty, for the rescue. ”

A Priest's Country?

A country where the whole country is rumored to be priests? Why did you go to sea and drift for two years?

Zhu Qinghong pondered for a moment: "I heard that the country of priests has god-level priests in charge, is it true?" ”

"It's true." Qian Dan raised his eyes slightly, "I'm one of them." The Elder of the Priesthood Nation, Qiandan, pays a visit to His Majesty the Emperor. ”

Is he a god-level priest?

Su Rui and Fang Youan were surprised.

Zhu Qinghong discovered the seriousness of the situation in an instant, and he was a god-level priest of an elder of a country, and he left the country and drifted on the sea for two years.

Why? It was only possible that the kingdom of the priests was in danger, and he came out to ask for help.

It can be seen that the power of the catastrophic-level demons has evolved to the point that god-level priests cannot fight against them.

And it was two years ago.

Zhu Qinghong frowned slightly.

Qian Dan continued: "The kingdom of priests has long since lost its former glory, and the growing demons are no longer beyond the strength of one country. The elders collectively sent me out for help. But in two years, I have not found anyone to trust. ”

He has traveled to many places, large and small, and has seen a lot.

Self-sufficiency at most, precarious at worst.

After two years of drifting at sea, he finally came to the Yunhong Dynasty. The neat and orderly army and the peaceful people in the prosperous world all demonstrate their ability to govern the country. It's been two years, and he can't wait any longer.

Is there still a glimmer of hope in this world?

Attack the center of the mutation and completely eradicate the demon plague. Zhu Qinghong has this idea, but ......

She hooked her lips and smiled: "I work hard to help, what is the benefit?" Say something realistic, I'm interested. ”

Qian Dan was stunned for a moment, lowered his eyes and made up his mind: "What Your Majesty wants, I will never refuse." ”

"Refreshing. My long-cherished wish is to dominate the world. If the kingdom of priests is willing to be submitted, how can I forsake my own people? Zhu Qinghong got straight to the point.

Bring the kingdom of priests under your command and eradicate the root of demons. The world is at your fingertips.

She had thought that there would be a tough battle with the priestly kingdom, and that it was just what she wanted.

Descend or die, choose.

Qian Dan leaned over and kowtowed: "Your Majesty sent troops to rescue, and Qian Dan is willing to lead the people of the priest's country to submission." ”

"Good. Fang You'an, Su Rui, you two go down first. Zhu Qinghong stood up, "To express your sincerity, come with me." ”

Su Rui and the two bowed and retreated.

The door of the space opened, and Zhu Qinghong took the first step.

Qian Dan got up and walked towards the space door step by step, fearless and calmly accepted.

Inside the space door was a sight he had never seen before, and the large room was filled with all kinds of strange instruments.

Zhu Qinghong pursed his lips and smiled: "Your body is stuck at ten years old, but your actual age is far exceeded." I want to see if I can make a successful transformation. ”

The robotic arm is stretched out, eager to try.

Genetically modified people, the best effect for minors.

Once all aspects of the body have matured, genetic modification is not worth the cost.

Zhu Qinghong wanted to know how to calculate Qiandan's situation and whether there were any side effects after the transformation.

"Okay." Qiandan's jaw.

The robotic arm stepped forward, stripped off his clothes and sent him into the culture tank.

[Genetic modification begins.] 】

Zhu Qinghong waited, if it succeeded, it would be a big breakthrough. She was looking forward to the results.
