Chapter 306: The First Emperor of the Ages
In the private room of an inn in Xingping County.
Jiang Chengdao sat opposite a young man dressed in linen clothes who looked extremely ordinary.
In the face of the dignified Holy King, it must be false to say that there is no pressure at all.
Although the young man's face looked a little calm on the surface, his hands under his sleeves were clenched tightly, his breathing was a little faster than normal, and his body was tense, obviously unable to completely exempt Jiang Chengdao from the powerful coercion that Jiang Chengdao unconsciously exuded.
"Alright."
Jiang Chengdao raised his hand, supported his side face with one hand, and put the other hand on the table in front of him, and his five fingers wearing armor tapped the table back and forth, making a series of rhythmic light sounds.
"Without further ado, Holy Envoy Qiu, didn't you say that His Royal Highness the Holy King of Qingxuan has something important to discuss with this king? Where is he? β
Qiu Ming swallowed his saliva and arched his hand towards Jiang Chengdao.
"Your Highness, please wait a moment."
After speaking, he suddenly reached into his arms, took out a jade green dragon token engraved with countless inscriptions from his arms, and then closed his hands suddenly, closed the green dragon order in front of his chest, and recited words in his mouth.
Swish!
With the activation of the unique technique of the Holy Realm, the Green Dragon Order gradually disappeared, and a layer of turquoise light appeared on the surface of Qiu Ming's body, covering his entire body in just a moment.
"Oh?"
Jiang Chengdao observed the changes on Qiu Ming's body with great interest, but there was not much surprise under the mask.
"Is it the unique sΓ©ance technique of the Qingxuan Saint King?"
Obviously, he was familiar with the technique.
As soon as the words fell, Qiu Ming put down his hand, opened his eyes at the same time, and looked at Jiang Chengdao.
At this time, his expression was extremely calm, and his gestures were natural, without the slightest nervousness and crampedness, as if he had changed a person.
After a moment, he spoke slowly.
"It's been a long time, Cangming Holy King."
The words spoken, whether it was intonation, timbre, or the aura that was revealed, were completely different from Fang Cai.
Jiang Chengdao's face was still as usual.
"Long time no see, Qingxuan Saint King."
That's right, Qingxuan Saint King.
One of the Four Great Saint Kings of the Central Continent, the Lord of the Qingxuan Realm, like Jiang Chengdao, is the strongest person standing at the peak of the trillions of living beings in the Central Continent.
Although he is still Qiu Ming's appearance on the outside, he is one of the few existences on an equal footing with Jiang Chengdao on the inside.
It was extremely rare for the Holy King to meet outside of the Holy Realm, and it had only happened once in the countless years of the Middle-earth Continent.
Jiang Chengdao personally poured a cup of tea for the Qingxuan Saint King.
The Qingxuan Saint King stared at his face armor and spoke again: "After so many years, you still don't want to look at people with your true face, this king is a little curious, what was your identity before you were chosen by the Nine Shadows to become the Saint King?" Why hide it until now? β
Hearing this, Jiang Chengdao's eyes under his mask narrowed slightly, and instead of answering, he asked: "You specially sent Qiu Ming to look for me, and used his body to launch a spirit descent technique to find this king, just to ask about the king's past identity?" β
"Of course not."
Qingxuan Saint King said indifferently: "This is just a casual question on the whim of this king, if you don't want to say it." β
Jiang Chengdao shrugged his shoulders.
"Let's get down to business."
He obviously had no intention of continuing to talk on the topic of identity, but said straight to the point: "I don't know what Your Excellency is looking for this king?" β
The meeting of the Holy King is a great event in itself.
Even if it's not outside the Holy Realm.
After all, no Saint King would be idle and go to other Saint Realms to hang out.
Therefore, the moment Jiang Chengdao's words fell, the atmosphere between the two suddenly became extremely serious.
The Qingxuan Saint King pondered for a while before he spoke: "Cangming Saint King, before you get down to business, can you tell this king why you are serving the Great Xia Emperor wholeheartedly?" For this reason, he even did not hesitate to mobilize more than half of the combat power of the Holy Realm, so that the great array of suppressing evil was loosened, and it almost caused a catastrophe. β
Hearing this, Jiang Chengdao immediately raised his eyebrows.
Before he could speak, the Qingxuan Saint King said again: "Although the Supreme has the qualifications to command the Saint King, as far as this King knows, before you intervene, she was just a puppet emperor who had no power and was about to be deposed, and she had no ability to force us to obey orders, and we had no obligation to serve her. β
At this point, he paused inexplicably.
Immediately after, his gaze suddenly froze, and he stared at Jiang Chengdao's eyes with a solemn expression.
"As the Holy King, our duty is to maintain the Great Array of Suppressing Evil Spirits built by the Saint with supreme holy power, suppress all the evil in the Great Array, and completely eliminate the possibility of it causing disasters to the world, so as to ensure the peace of Zhongzhou, as for the change of governance in the Central Plains Dynasty, what do we have to do?"
"Have you forgotten our mission and responsibility?"
Jiang Chengdao picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"The saint's legacy, this king will not forget, and he will not dare to forget, otherwise, Jiuyou would have abandoned me a long time ago."
Hearing him say this, the Qingxuan Saint King immediately said, "In that case, why don't you collect your troops and return to the Holy Realm as soon as possible while the catastrophe has not yet been caused and the emperor has not yet accomplished?" β
Hearing this, Jiang Chengdao smiled.
"I see, the Qingxuan Holy King came this time to persuade this king not to get involved in worldly affairs again, and to withdraw his troops back to the Holy Realm to ensure the stability of the Great Array."
"Sort of."
The Qingxuan Saint King did not deny it.
"The four holy realms are related to the safety and fate of hundreds of millions of living beings in Central Continent, and there is no room for the slightest mistake, if the Cangming Realm is lost, the other three realms will be difficult to ensure that the great array is not lost even if it is impregnable, and if the countless ancient evil cults completely break through the evil suppression array, Zhongzhou will usher in a catastrophe in an instant, compared to it, the secular dynasty is insignificant, why care? Not to mention."
Da.
The teacup landed on the wooden dining table with a muffled sound.
"The Supreme Coming to the world is not a good thing for Zhongzhou, Cangming Holy King, you must not forget, ten thousand years ago, the so-called First Emperor of the Ten Thousand Ages, after receiving the help of the four Holy Kings, what a cruel catastrophe it brought to the common people in the world."
"Behind his extraordinary achievements, there are countless white bones, you have spared no effort to serve the Great Xia Emperor, aren't you afraid that after she is full-fledged, the catastrophe of 10,000 years ago will be repeated again?"
At the same time that the conversation between the two Holy Kings that would determine the fate of Great Xia in the future was on the right track.
Xipingfang, in Ward No. 7.
Lu Chen frowned, looking at Cangyue who was lying unconscious on the bed, his face was inexplicably a little ugly.
"That is."
He turned his head to look at Liu Ruowei and Liyue, who was operating the instrument with both hands.
"Although the root of the blood plague in her body has been removed, the symptoms have gradually disappeared, and she has not been infected with the blood plague again, but due to the severe erosion of the blood plague in her body, the spiritual veins are extremely damaged and almost exhausted, and her internal organs have also been damaged to varying degrees, and she cannot heal herself on her own?"
Liu Ruowei nodded.
She hesitated slightly, then glanced at Jiang Chengwan who was standing beside Lu Chen inexplicably, and then said: "Yes, Lord Lu, with the experience of humble duties, if you want to completely cure this girl, you must use the heavenly and earthly treasures to nourish and repair the spiritual veins in her body, and you must also supplement the injuries of the five internal organs with precious medicinal materials such as Ganoderma lucidum and Shou Wu. β
When discussing the condition of the blood epidemic, Jiang Chengwan would not interrupt her at this time, even if she looked at Liu Ruowei unpleasantly.
Whether it's right or wrong, or the score is clear.
And after listening to Liu Ruowei's story, she almost understood in seconds.
To put it simply, it's about money.
Healing can definitely be cured, after all, the biggest threat to the blood plague has been stabbed by Lu Chen, and the rest is pure healing.
It sounds like healing is much simpler than healing, but. Can it be a small amount of money that Liu Ruowei can specifically mention?
The imperial court spent such a big price to save a little warrior who might not even be considered a loose cultivator?
Is it worth it?
Well, if there is only one ugly girl, although the current treasury is still not very sufficient, this little money still doesn't matter.
However, she is not the only one who has contracted the blood plague
The number of people infected with the blood plague in Xipingfang is surging every day, and even many Qingning guards have been recruited, let alone ordinary people.
At this rate, it is estimated that in another day, this temporary control area that can accommodate tens of thousands of people will be full.
Even if ordinary people don't need many resources for a single treatment, and the combined consumption is extremely terrifying, no matter how generous Jiang Chengwan is, he directly takes all the money in the inner pocket to Lu Chen with a big wave of his hand, and he may not be able to fill this hole.
Because of this, after verifying that the surgical removal of the diseased tissue in the patient's body can stop the blood epidemic from eroding the human body, Lu Chen's hanging heart still has not been able to let go.
Saving is able to save but this cost. It's too big, isn't it?
Tens of thousands of households in Xingping County, so many people are all treated, and the ghost knows how many resources will be consumed.
At least enough to fight a medium and large battle, such a huge amount of resources to save the people. In the eyes of the vast majority of people, it is completely a blood loss, and it has no meaning at all.
This is Liu Ruowei, or the biggest dilemma that the Green Capsule Bureau is currently encountering.
On the one hand, there are hundreds of people who have been tortured by the blood epidemic, and on the other hand, there is a bottom-tight treasury, how will the empress with an unstable foundation choose, she doesn't know, all she can do is to raise the question, as for whether to save it or not, how to choose, that is the matter of the imperial court.
Jiang Chengwan didn't respond immediately, but looked at Lu Chen.
"Lu Qing, what do you think?"
After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen replied in a deep voice: "Let's save those sick people first." β
I'm still busy today, so much more first, and the rest will be as busy tomorrow as possible
