Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 367: It seems not difficult
Lin Qianxing looked at Zhuang Ji with a half-smile and said, "Brother Zhuang, am I right?"
"It's really too accurate." Zhuang Ji said with a wry smile.
He really didn't expect that for such a big thing, Lin Qianxing could actually predict the result, and so accurately.
"This is a serious matter, so please don't speak it out casually." Zhuang Ji said to Lin Qianxing.
"I'm curious about what you are doing. Do you need my help?" Lin Qianxing said.
Zhuang Ji showed a delighted expression and said, "Brother Dao, are you serious?"
"Really?" Lin Qianxing said with a smile.
"Well, I will introduce you to him tomorrow." Zhuang Ji raised his glass and said solemnly.
Lin Qianxing also raised his hand and raised his glass to show his agreement.
…
The next day.
A luxurious flying ship in Zhuangzhou took off and headed straight for the imperial city of the Shen Yao Dynasty.
As a huge dynasty that has existed for tens of thousands of years, its imperial capital is naturally luxurious, magnificent, and shining with light everywhere. Even the floor tiles are not ordinary.
As one of the seventy-five pillars of the country, Zhuang Ji's status was equivalent to that of a feudal king, second only to the monarch.
So his flying boat was able to sail all the way through the no-fly zone in the imperial city and directly to the stop inside the imperial city.
As soon as he got off the flying boat, the palace guards and attendants lined up to greet him.
This is not an inherent etiquette in the palace, but something they did spontaneously.
Each national pillar represents the expansion of territory for the Shen Yao Dynasty and the establishment of a more magnificent dynasty.
Their existence is the greatest value of the entire country, so the people have great respect for the national pillars.
After getting off the flying boat, Lin Qianxing and Zhuang Ji rode the palace's animal carriage and drove straight into the palace.
Looking at the giant beast that was over ten feet tall pulling the cart forward, Lin Qianxing showed a smile on his face.
The Shen Yao Dynasty had already achieved a high level of technology in every place, but in this palace, they actually had to use animal power to pull vehicles.
Zhuang Ji saw Lin Qianxing's expression and understood his thoughts. He said, "Speaking of this beast carriage, it's an interesting story. The Ministry of Works originally planned to build a long track in the palace to build a super-speed carriage for people to ride. The Ministry of Agriculture insisted that the ancestral system could not be abolished. The two sides could not reach an agreement, so Your Majesty simply built a track and placed wild-horned beasts here to pull the carriage..."
"You want all of them?" Lin Qianxing suddenly realized and said, "Then we can take the Speed Car when we go out."
"Brother, if you want to ride it, of course you can," said Zhuang Ji.
As they talked, the two of them had already arrived outside the meeting hall in the palace.
The ceremonial officer led Lin Qianxing and Zhuang Ji inside, arranged seats for them, dressed them in scented clothes, prepared fruits and snacks, thirst-quenching liquor and tea, and arranged for two good-looking attendants to stand quietly behind them before taking their leave.
They didn't say anything about etiquette.
After all, with Zhuang Ji's status, meeting the king is just like meeting a brother, so it is unnecessary for him to say too much here.
Lin Qianxing and Zhuang Ji did not have to wait long. Soon, the monarch of the Shen Yao Dynasty entered the council hall led by his attendants.
The man was wearing a blue robe with gold edges. He looked to be about thirty-five or thirty-six years old. There was no special aura about him. If you ignored his clothes, he would look like the uncle next door.
Zhuang Ji and Lin Qianxing stood up and bowed slightly to show respect.
"Please take a seat, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." After Ao Quan sat down at the head of the table, he looked at Zhuang Ji and said, "Yesterday I heard that Zhuang Guozhu had recovered from his serious illness, so I wanted to visit him. Unfortunately, I was busy with state affairs and was unable to go. I hope Zhuang Guozhu will not worry."
"I naturally know what your majesty means." Zhuang Ji nodded.
"I guess this person is the miraculous person who cured Zhuang Guozhu?" Ao Quan looked at Lin Qianxing and said, "What should I call him?"
"Lin Kong." Lin Qianxing said.
"Mr. Lin, by saving Zhuang Guozhu, you have eliminated a chronic disease for our country. Please accept my greetings." Ao Quan stood up and saluted to Lin Qianxing.
"Your Majesty, you are too polite." Lin Qianxing nodded in return.
"Mr. Lin, what kind of reward do you want? Just tell me directly. As long as I can give it, I will never refuse." Ao Quan asked.
"I am not talented, but I may be the 76th pillar of the Shen Yao Dynasty." Lin Qianxing said.
As soon as these words were spoken, even the breathing in the entire meeting hall stopped.
Zhuang Ji also seemed a little surprised. He didn't expect Lin Qianxing to say such a thing.
Ao Quan looked at Lin Qianxing carefully. At first glance, he felt that this person was extremely mysterious and he could not find out any information about him no matter what.
But from the fact that he was able to save Zhuang Ji and asked him to make an introduction, we know that he has at least made extraordinary achievements in medicine.
After two breaths of silence, Ao Quan said to Lin Qianxing: "Sir, if you want to become the pillar of our Shen Yao Dynasty, it is not enough to just know some medical methods. If you don't have the merit of expanding the territory and intimidating millions of troops, how can you be called a pillar of the country?"
"It seems not difficult." Lin Qianxing said with a smile.
"That's not difficult." Ao Quan laughed loudly and said, "Mr. Lin's words really make me happy. Come, bring me my treasured fine wine. Just because of your words, I want to drink a cup with Zhuang Guozhu and Mr. Lin."
Not long after, a servant brought a pot of Ao Quan's fine wine and poured full glasses for Ao Quan, Lin Qianxing and Zhuang Ji respectively.
The wine was deep red in color, with a light rising from it that was visible to the naked eye. It was obvious at first glance that it was not an extraordinary thing.
[Sunset Wine [Level 5 Lower]: This wine is brewed from the essence of the morning glow, and has the effect of strengthening the body and soul.]
To Lin Qianxing, this thing was not considered precious, but to Ao Quan, it was definitely not an ordinary thing, so he was really generous.
Hearing Lin Qianxing's nonsense, he was not angry. Instead, he took out the precious wine and drank it with Lin Qianxing.
Lin Qianxing smiled. With such personal charm, it was no wonder that Zhuang Ji was willing to work under him.
"You two, please!" Ao Quan raised his glass.
Lin Qianxing and Zhuang Ji raised their glasses and drank the wine.
After a glass of wine, Ao Quan dismissed his attendants and said to Lin Qianxing, "Mr. Lin, since you said it's not difficult, I do have a few worries now. Mr. Lin, just solve one of them for me, and the position of the Seventy-Six National Pillars will belong to Mr. Lin."
"Please speak." Lin Qianxing said.
“The Qianqiu Holy Land has occupied three large purple spirit mines of our dynasty.
The Lin Clan lives in a dangerous area south of our dynasty, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. They often harass the people in the south, making them suffer terribly.
The Tianli Palace, relying on its strength, demands tributes every year. Our dynasty has been fighting with it for many years and has suffered heavy losses.
In the southwest of our dynasty, there are hundreds of feathered tribes. The terrain they live in is dangerous and their relationship with the human race is bad, and disputes often occur between them.
"Mr. Lin, if you can make Qianqiu Holy Land return the mineral veins, or make the scale tribe stop harassing our people, or make Tianli Palace stop asking for tribute, or make friends with the Hundred Feather Tribes so that they don't have disputes with each other, if you can do any of these, Mr. Lin's achievements will make you worthy of the title of a national pillar." Ao Quan said slowly.
None of these four things is a simple matter.
The Qianqiu Holy Land is powerful and overbearing, and there are also fifth-rank great monks in charge. It is for this reason that it dares to occupy the mineral veins of the Shenyao Dynasty.
But it's a bit of an exaggeration to say it's an invasion.
After all, the rules of this world are set by humans.
They are stronger than you, so even if you discovered the mineral vein first, you have to hand it over if they ask you to, right?
The Shen Yao Dynasty is very powerful, but its business is too big to manage everything. Faced with these things, it can only compromise.
As for the Scale Clan, they are located in the mountains that stretch for thousands of miles in the south. The area is filled with miasma, has complex terrain, and contains countless poisonous creatures. Moreover, their ancestor has already broken through to the fifth level and is very powerful. In addition, they have the means to poison people, and in an instant they can spread poisonous fog that stretches for thousands of miles, making it impossible to defend against.
Zhuang Ji had already verified this point.
Tianli Palace was also a powerful force with a fifth-level powerful being in charge.
The territory occupied by the Shen Yao Dynasty is so vast and so fertile that they are naturally tempted.
Just making a symbolic move to the Shen Yao Dynasty and asking for some offerings was already giving Ao Quan a lot of face.
If they really break the rules, the Shen Yao Dynasty will not be able to withstand their harassment.
As I said, it’s all because the stall is spread too wide and we can’t manage it so well.
Although each state has a national pillar guarding it, it is really a bit powerless facing so many powerful forces that are eyeing them covetously.
When they see that you are weak in a certain area and occupy fertile land, they will definitely want to let you take some of your resources.
The last of the Feather Clan was easier to deal with.
The Feather Clan was never completely united.
They all built towns in places such as steep cliffs and then formed tribal groups.
The Feather Clan has at most tens of thousands of people, and there is not even a fourth-level cultivator.
The only problem is that their numbers are a bit too large, with hundreds of tribes, and the terrain they are in is quite steep, with strong winds and raging wildly. Even flying ships cannot easily get there, and the Feathered Tribe can fly, so there is basically nothing we can do about them .
"I already know." Lin Qianxing nodded.
"Does Mr. Lin need help? If necessary, I can provide 10,000 Shen Yao soldiers to help." Ao Quan said.
"There is no need for them to intervene. This matter can be easily resolved." Lin Qianxing said.
"What is Mr. Lin referring to?" Ao Quan asked.
"Everything." Lin Qianxing replied.
Hearing this, Ao Quan fell silent again.
He had seen many crazy people, but this was the first time he had seen someone as crazy as Lin Qianxing.
If he had heard Lin Qianxing say at the beginning that he wanted to become a pillar of the country, he would have been happy.
Now, he was somewhat skeptical.
He glanced at Zhuang Ji and always felt that Zhuang Ji had introduced a madman to him.
Zhuang Ji seemed a little speechless when faced with Lin Qianxing's words.
He knew that Lin Qianxing was very capable, and no matter what Lin Qianxing said, he felt that Lin Qianxing could do it.
But when Lin Qianxing told him everything in one breath, he was a little unsure.
That's beyond imagination.
These things have been bothering them for a long time.
If it were really that easy, they would have dealt with it long ago. Right now, Lin Qianxing was just like a drunk man talking nonsense without any bottom line.
"I wonder how long it will take you to complete these tasks, sir?" Ao Quan put away his previous expression and asked seriously.
Lin Qianxing said: "April 13th day and seven hours..."
"How can it be so precise?" Ao Quan asked in surprise.
"I forgot to tell you, besides being an alchemist, I am also good at fortune-telling. All of this is within my fortune." Lin Qianxing said.
