434 This black pot is beautiful (Four Thousand Chapters, Mid-Autumn Festival)
"You are patrolling around the cold Iceland for 300 miles, and no outsiders are allowed to approach. If someone comes, you need to notify it in advance. ”
Su Chen commanded lightly to dozens of foundation-building monks such as Chief Manager Xie of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Yes, Deputy Alliance Leader Su!"
Chief Manager Xie hesitated for a moment and gave up his hand.
He originally wanted to persuade a few more words to try to avoid offending those northern Jindan families. But looking at Su Chen's indifferent look that didn't take the Jindan family in his eyes, he still couldn't bear it and didn't dare to say it.
That's it, the lord of the Su Vice Alliance is high and powerful, and the owners of Jindan Island don't dare to do anything with him, so they can toss as much as they like.
Anyway, they are just small officials who work in the city lord's mansion, and they don't need to guess the intentions of the upper echelons.
The Zhuji monks of the City Lord's Mansion immediately received the order, replaced the disciples of the Jane family, and began to guard and patrol within a radius of three hundred miles on the outskirts of Cold Iceland.
...
Su Chen and Anu flew into cold Iceland.
This island is indeed extremely cold.
Entering the island, Su Chen immediately felt a bone-chilling chill hit him, and he could almost freeze the low-level cultivator easily.
Fortunately, both of them were Jindan monks, and they were highly resistant to the cold air, so they would have no problem staying on the island for months.
Su Chen carefully inspected the island, but did not find a fierce demon beast lurking.
These snow clams raised on the island are all low-level spirit beasts, with a low grade, and they can only spit weak ice arrows from their mouths, and there is no threat.
However, Su Chen still instructed the monks of the City Lord's Mansion to empty and dispose of all the tens of thousands of snow clams raised on the island, so as not to threaten the hatching of the eggs.
The small officials and monks of the City Lord's Mansion were overjoyed, a second-order top-grade snow clam could sell hundreds of spirit stones, and these snow clams alone could make them a windfall.
...
Su Chen ordered someone to empty Cold Iceland, and then took out the large Kun egg and put it into a frozen lake in Cold Iceland.
He, Anu and Tao Yao, the three Jindan monks, and Zhuang Luyi, the Yuanying monk, lived together on the shore of the Ice Lake, personally taking care of this extremely precious Kun egg, which could not be lost.
Su Chen used his divine sense to probe the movement inside this Kun egg every day.
After only a few days, there was a faint vitality reaction in the egg, which seemed to be a little more active, and the embryo showed signs of awakening and growth.
It seems that the Kun eggs are satisfied with the environment here and are ready to start condensing and taking shape.
This is a good sign that has never been greater!
Su Chen couldn't help but be surprised, "It really has a good effect on this cold Iceland, let the Kun eggs stay here for three or five years, and they should be able to form embryos and hatch a young Kun out." ”
Anu was happy for Su Chen.
But she also had some other worries, and said: "Childe, when we first came to the north, we recruited the Han Iceland of the Jane family and offended the Jane family. Although Childe is not afraid of Jane's revenge. But I'm afraid that it will be more difficult to get the support of these northern families in the future, and it will be difficult to deal with the invasion of northern demon cultivators, how can this be?!"
Su Chen couldn't help but smile indifferently, shook his head and said: "Since ancient times, those who have done great things have not been informal, and if they want to do things, how can they not offend people." If I don't occupy this cold Iceland, it will be difficult to hatch the eggs. If you can't hatch the eggs, you can't practice the Yuan Infant Exercises. So there is no need to think about these things, the tiger is afraid of the tiger and the wolf.
Besides, I summoned all the island owners to come to discuss a few days ago, giving them the opportunity to cooperate with me, but none of these great families came, which has already shown their uncooperative attitude and will not give me any support. In that case, I don't need to worry about their attitude!"
"But... What if they go to the General Alliance to complain and find the leader of the Wang Ziyang League to complain?"
Anu worried.
"Then they're going to be disappointed. Wang Ziyang's alliance leader set up the Northern Defense Region and handed over the Northern Defense Region to a deputy alliance leader with full authority, because he didn't want to distract himself from the mess in the north, so that he could deal with the huge threat of Demon Emperor Jiao Ao with all his might.
If this is not the case, why would the leader of the Wang Alliance take such a step and give the deputy alliance leader to sit alone in the north. As long as the northern defense area does not erode and is not captured by the demon clan, the rest is a trivial matter, and the leader of the Wang Alliance does not want to care about it at all. Their complaint is also mud and rock into the sea, to no avail.
Anu, don't worry about this, just live in seclusion and cultivate here with peace of mind. I'm not in a hurry, they're in a more hurry than we are. ”
...
Su Chen also did not deal with the government affairs of the Northern Alliance in the Northern Regions City Lord's Mansion, but directly lived in seclusion in Cold Iceland to concentrate on incubating his Kun egg.
Flash.
More than half a year has passed.
In addition to expropriating a cold Iceland in the name of the deputy alliance leader, Su Chen did not do anything out of the ordinary of "embezzling the private property of the family and boiling the people's resentment".
But he didn't care about anything.
The heads of the top ten families in the north observed Han Iceland for a long time, and they were all a little confused and puzzled.
They originally planned to wait for the deputy leader of the Soviet Union to "expropriate and extort money everywhere in the north, so that the people's resentment boiled", and after collecting a large amount of ironclad evidence, they jointly went to the general alliance to file a complaint, overthrowing the deputy alliance leader in one go, and replacing them with their people as the deputy alliance leader.
But they waited for more than half a year, and what they were waiting for was Su Chen's retreat in Cold Iceland, and there was no other movement.
Just by "conscripting" a cold Iceland, the weight is too light, and it is not enough to overthrow Su Chen, the high-powered deputy alliance leader. Moreover, Su Chen had a good reason, and still occupied this island in the name of "preparing for war", so that Jane's suffering had nowhere to say.
"Hmph! Sure enough, he is another corpse vegetarian, mediocre and incompetent person! Occupying the high position of the deputy alliance leader in vain, he is alone in the northern seas, but he is huddled in the cold Iceland all day long, and he doesn't pay attention to any government affairs. ”
"Don't while you occupy the pit!"
"What do we want him for? It is better to change to a respected head of a northern family to serve as the deputy leader of the alliance and resist the invasion of demon cultivators. ”
Under the secret encouragement of the top ten families in the north, among the markets of the Northern Immortal City, the new deputy alliance leader is still being scolded.
The waves are rough and the dark tide is surging.
But after scolding for a long time, the monks also found it quite boring, and gradually died down.
Although they scolded happily, they couldn't rely on abuse to overthrow the deputy alliance leader, and they couldn't hurt the main leader in the slightest.
The Lord was in retreat in cold Iceland, deaf to the scolding of the outside world.
...
The monks of the city lord's mansion patrolled around the cold Iceland day and night, bored and had nothing to do.
There were not many people in the City Lord's Mansion, less than a hundred.
After transferring dozens of foundation building monks to Cold Iceland as patrol guards, the city lord's mansion immediately lost almost half of its manpower, and it seemed to be overstretched.
Originally, the Northern Regions City Lord's Mansion was responsible for handling some minor chores in the north, such as collecting taxes, reporting various local emergency military situations to the General Alliance, liaising with the local Jindan Island Lords, and conveying the orders of the General Alliance to the various island owners, etc.
But after Su Chen, the deputy alliance leader, came, he took away nearly half of his manpower as the guards of Cold Iceland, and the city lord's mansion was almost in a state of semi-paralysis, and he didn't do anything.
There was no order from the side of the general alliance, and it seemed that it was completely delegated and handed over to Su Chen, the deputy alliance leader, to deal with.
The military information of the northern defense area was no longer sent to the General Alliance without Su Chen's permission.
Under Su Chen's "inaction", the Jindan Island Lords in the entire northern sea area have fallen into a state of scattered sand, and they are in a state of exhaustion under the attack of the northern demon cultivators.
"Strange, what have we been doing for most of the year?!"
"He didn't leave when he came to Iceland, and he stayed here for half a year, and there was no other movement. ”
"In the past half a year, more than dozens of spirit islands have been attacked by demon cultivators, and the owners of Jindan Island have suffered a lot of losses. Many island owners ran to the city lord's mansion and cried and begged for support from the deputy alliance leader. We little officials are all anxious to become ants on a hot pot, and as the deputy leader of the alliance sitting in the north, he is not in a hurry at all?"
"You say, what is our deputy alliance leader thinking? Is it really like those great northern families said, he just came to the north for a few years and then left?"
All the foundation building monks in the City Lord's Mansion looked very anxious and talked about it.
Before, Su Chen ordered them to empty all the snow clams in Cold Iceland, and they took the opportunity to sell all the snow clams, and received huge benefits from them, so naturally they would not speak ill of Su Chen.
In the market of the Northern Regions Immortal City, there are many rumors that the deputy leader of the Su League came to the north to "make a windfall".
The small officials and monks of the City Lord's Mansion were dismissive of these rumors and refuted them bitterly.
Because of the cold Iceland, tens of thousands of snow clams were emptied, and the large sums of money sold were all rewarded to them by Su Chen. This move made them, the small officials in the foundation building period of the city lord's mansion, from being poor to becoming rich overnight, earning more than they had worked hard for decades.
The deputy leader of the Su Alliance only retreated and cultivated in cold Iceland, and he didn't get any spirit stones at all, so he couldn't talk about making a windfall.
Moreover, they often had contact with Su Chen, and knew that this deputy alliance leader was actually very easy to get along with, and he was also kind to them, the little officials of the City Lord's Mansion, and had never done anything evil.
They are grateful to the Su Deputy Alliance Leader, and they can't wait to carry all the infamy by themselves and clear this black pot for the Su Deputy Alliance Leader.
But the deputy alliance leader of Su himself ignored these black cauldrons flying out of thin air.
They were all anxious for Su Chen, and they didn't want to see the deputy leader of Su Chen removed from his post because of inaction.
"You see, our Su Deputy Alliance Leader is definitely not a character to be messed with. His wrist ...... I've been working in the City Lord's Mansion for decades, and I've never seen anyone more ruthless than him. The black pot is beautiful, and the trick of driving away the wolf and the tiger is even more clever! Those families want to bring him down, but they are thinking in vain. ”
Chief Manager Xie shook his head, but his expression showed awe.
"Chief Manager Xie, why do you say that?"
All the foundation building monks were amazed.
Mr. Xie couldn't help but think back to it, and he had seen many things in the past six months with his own eyes recently.
It is rumored in the market that the deputy leader of the Su alliance is making money in the north, which is a fictitious thing, and there is no ironclad evidence at all, so this reason naturally does not stumble on this deputy alliance leader.
Only the crime of "inaction" may affect Su Chen's status.
But Deputy Alliance Leader Su has already easily dumped this black cauldron to others.
In the past six months, the war situation in the north has continued to deteriorate.
In just half a year, dozens of spirit islands in the northern sea area were attacked by demon cultivators, and those Jindan Island owners suffered heavy losses, so they came to the City Lord's Mansion to ask for support, and even scolded the deputy alliance leader for inaction.
Chief Xie sent these urgent military information to Cold Iceland for Su Chen to see.
Su Chen glanced at this information, then put it aside, indifferent, and did not say anything.
Mr. Xie was also puzzled at first, this is inaction!
Later, some Jindan Island owners were angry and came to Cold Iceland in person to ask Su Chen for an explanation.
Su Chen just replied lightly, "In the past, this deputy alliance invited Your Excellency to come and discuss the strategy of dealing with the attack of demon cultivators. Your Excellency will not come. In the future, I will convene all the island owners to discuss countermeasures, and I will help whoever comes. If you don't come, don't complain to me again.
If you are not satisfied, just write to the General League to complain.... By the way, the Federation will send your complaint back to me for review, and I will see how you file a complaint. ”
Those Jindan Island Lords were suddenly dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, and they couldn't tell their bitterness, and they knocked out their teeth and even swallowed blood in their stomachs.
Last time Su Chen summoned them to discuss matters, they couldn't shirk it with their own excuses, and the seven or eight hundred island owners only came to more than ten old and decayed island owners, and now something happened, who is to blame?
Mr. Xie can also be regarded as an old fritter who has been in the alliance for hundreds of years, and when he saw Su Chen's wrist throwing the black pot, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Since then, he has been impressed by this seemingly gentle and polite deputy alliance leader, and he does not dare to have the slightest disrespect.
"Unknowingly, I put on small shoes, or someone else's own fault, Su Deputy Alliance Leader is beautiful in this pot. ”
"No wonder Deputy Alliance Master Su is not in a hurry at all, and he is sitting firmly on the Diaoyu Tai in the cold Iceland!"
The foundation building monks were all deeply shocked when they heard what Chief Manager Xie said.
It turned out that the last time Su Chen convened the Jindan Island lords to discuss the matter, he had already laid the groundwork, so he shirked all the responsibilities. The big black cauldron of "inaction" let the Jindan Island owners carry it themselves.
"Chief Manager Xie, you said that the leader of the Su Vice Alliance drove the wolf, what does this mean?"
There are monks who build the foundation and doubt.
With this hand, it can be seen that the methods of the deputy leader of the Su Alliance are ruthless, and they are by no means an ordinary role. ”
Chief Manager Xie sighed: "The leader of the Su Alliance is an outsider, even if the northern defense area is a mess, he will not lose much if he stays here for a few years, at most he will hang up the crown and leave, pat his ass and leave." It was the local islanders in the north who suffered heavy losses.
The top ten families in the north are strong, and the guards are strong, so their losses are naturally not large. But they were only enough to protect themselves, and it was impossible for them to disperse their forces to help hundreds of other Jindan Island Lords.
The real losses were still seven or eight hundred ordinary Jindan Island Lords. They were weak and unable to get support from the General Alliance, and they were unwilling to obey the dispatch of the deputy leader of the Soviet Union, so they fell into disarray.
Those island owners are also really, one by one, arrogant, dissatisfied with this new deputy alliance leader, and actually followed the top ten families in the north to disobey the Su deputy alliance leader. When they have endured enough hardships, they will come to their senses and obediently ask the deputy leader of the Su League for help and seek countermeasures.
Therefore, for most of the past half a year, the deputy leader of the Su Alliance simply went to retreat in cold Iceland.
With the help of demon cultivators, he forced all the Jindan Island Lords to ask for help from the City Lord's Mansion. The deputy leader of the Su Alliance has been in retreat in cold Iceland for half a year, seemingly doing nothing, but in fact, he is waiting for the Jindan Island owners to come and ask for help. ”
"We, the deputy leader of the Su Alliance, seem to be doing nothing, but in fact we are doing everything! Those ten great families in the north want to take advantage of him under his hands, it is simply self-inflicted. ”
