Chapter 622
"The Duke of the State will naturally welcome you when he comes in, so the servant will have to send you here."
Looking at the smile on the face of the attendant, Xiao Chen's eyes flashed slightly, and he nodded directly, and strided towards the palace without saying anything.
When he entered the hall, he saw the first person sitting there. It was the Lord of Rong, the Lord of Rong. Although he had already expected it, Xiao Chen still showed a look of surprise on his face and bowed and said, "I don't know that the Lord of the People is here. There is something wrong with offense. Please don't blame me."
Lord Rong smiled and shook his head, "I came here in secret and did not tell you, so why are you wrong? Get up and sit down."
"Thank you."
Xiao Chen got up and sat down at the next place.
It is normal that the Duke is there and there is a seat in front of the king.
"Today, the Lone King named you Qingyun Gong. Are Xiao Qing satisfied?" The Lord of Rong swept his eyes and said with a faint smile.
Xiao Chen bowed and said, "I didn't have the luxury of being a prince in my heart. It was a great reward to be able to receive a marquis. Now that I have received the great kindness of the king, I will do my best to share the worries of the king in the future."
Lord Rong nodded with satisfaction and was extremely satisfied with Xiao Chen's calm and respectful attitude, but at this moment, he showed a little thoughtful look on his face, but he did not continue to speak for a while.
Xiao Chen vaguely guessed what he was doing here, and had already prepared a solution to the situation in his heart. He sat down calmly in his head, waiting for the Lord Rong to ask.
After a while, Lord Rong coughed lightly before he spoke slowly, "Xiao Chen, did you plan the assassination of Yan Mingyue in Liuyan Temple that day? Gu wants to listen to the truth, tell Gu truthfully, don't hide it."
Xiao Chen's face changed and he stood up and bowed, "Master, it was a whim that Xiao Chen went to Liuyan House that day, and it was definitely not planned in advance. Otherwise, why would he be severely injured by the corpse of the Great Qin Dynasty and almost ruined his life? All this can only be said to be a coincidence."
The Lord of Rong's face remained unchanged, and his eyes fell on Xiao Chen's face, "Why would it be so stupid in the current state of Jie Kingdom? Conspiring to assassinate Yan Mingyue is tantamount to digging his own grave. I didn't expect that they had a reason to take action."
"The king of the country, perhaps the mission of Jie State is like the minister, who is the victim of this matter. Whether it is the Qin corpse or the dead soldiers of Wei State, his real target is Yan Mingyue, otherwise I would not have thought of a reasonable explanation."
"Yan Mingyue sent the Emperor Yan to order the emperor to stop the war between the two countries and cut off our Rong's path to promotion, and had nothing to do with Qin and Wei. Why did they send him to assassinate him at this moment?"
"This is not something that I can know. Perhaps there is a secret that I have not noticed by the ministers and the king." Xiao Chen frowned slightly, with a look of thought on his face. After a while, he spoke slowly. "The king thought that Yan Mingyue, a monk who was a perfect creation, was assigned by the Emperor Yan to our Rong Kingdom to pass the imperial edict. It would be a scattered relative of the Great Yan clan who was like his performance. It would be a benefit to wander around in our Rong Kingdom? I have always thought that this person was hidden and he had been stranding and refused to leave. There must be a deep meaning. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the assassination of Qin corpses and the death soldiers of Wei Kingdom."
The face of the Lord of Rong changed slightly. Yan Mingyue wandered around Rong and refused to leave. He was not without suspicion. He also sent someone to secretly monitor him but gained nothing. Today, when Xiao Chen mentioned it, he felt a little more solemn in his heart.
Angel of Emperor Yan.
The corpse of the Great Qin.
Dead soldiers of Wei State.
If it is true as Xiao Chen said, and they have some secret entanglement in their secrets, then this matter must be extremely important!
The three empires were able to send monks to come, and even killed each other and fought for each other... The Lord of Rong was slightly moved, and suddenly thought of a legend a long time ago, about the ancient fairyland that had disappeared for a long time...
If it is really related to this, then maybe he really thought about it this time.
Moreover, from beginning to end, he kept observing Xiao Chen's expression in the news. Although there was a vibration, he was never panicked. His eyes remained absolutely calm, and he could still think calmly when mentioning Yan Mingyue's suspicious parts. This kind of behavior proved that he was open-minded and did not hide it.
As soon as he thought about this, the Lord of Rong felt a little relieved, and his solemn expression slightly resolved a little, saying, "It may be true as Xiao Qing said. If it is true, the Lone King will probably send someone to check it out."
"Today's inquiry is to solve the confusion in your heart, and to make preparations in advance. If the Emperor Yan suspected that the matter was sent to investigate, I was also worried that this matter would involve you."
Xiao Chen showed gratitude, "I am worried about the king of the country, and I have a clear conscience. Even if Emperor Yan sent someone to investigate, I was not afraid at all." However, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had long expected that today would be a day, and now he could only pass. As for the so-called Emperor Yan's investigation, it was just a rhetoric. Now the whole world believes that Rong State falsely accused Jie State of taking the opportunity to annex it. If Emperor Yan did not want to completely intensify the conflict with Rong State and force the Lord of Rong State to raise an army to cause trouble, at most he would scold this matter a little, and he would definitely not do anything extra.
"Haha, today is the Lonely, Xiao Qing talks about these destructive things on his happy day." The Lord of Rong regained a gentle smile, "You sit down, and Lonely talks to Xiao Qing about some serious matters, which is related to your fiefdom."
"The fiefs of all the heroes have been divided, but you are not good at making a decision. The cabinet minister has discussed several times but has not come up with a practical charter. Today I am here to ask what you mean."
Xiao Chen sat down and bowed and said, "I don't know what happened, but it made the king so embarrassed?"
"Gu thought about it over and over again, and felt that even if you gave 15 cultivation stars as your territory, it would not be an exaggeration to give 15 cultivation stars for your contributions. However, after all, you have to consider the feelings of the ministers in the court and Hu Lei's face, so you have to cut your fiefdom to 12. After reducing the territory, Gu already owes Xiao Qing some of it, so he ordered the cabinet to select 12 medium-grade cultivation stars as Xiao Qing's fiefdom as compensation, but the matter is here."
"Associated the Jie Kingdom galaxy, there are 106 cultivation stars under the control of our Rong Kingdom, of which only 87 are of medium-grade cultivation stars. At present, there are only three that can barely be connected into one. One is the Lingyuan Star of the old capital of Rong Kingdom and the eleven cultivation stars around. The other is the Tianyuan Wang Star of the old capital of Jie Kingdom and the eleven cultivation stars around. The third is the area of the edge of Jie Kingdom and close to the outer space of the wilderness. There is a small galaxy of ten medium-grade cultivation stars, including four low-grade cultivation stars and some unmanned waste stars or mineral planets, which can barely match the twelve medium-grade cultivation stars. The ministers of the Lone King cannot decide which place to give you, so Lone wants to know what you mean."
The Lord of Rong spoke slowly, looking embarrassed.
Xiao Chen remained silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about gains and losses quickly. After a while, he spoke, saying, "Master, if you ask me to choose, I will choose a fiefdom near the edge of Jie Kingdom that is close to the alien world."
The voice was solemn, obviously a decision after careful consideration.
Lord Rong's eyes flashed slightly, and he reached out and tapped the back of the chair gently, "Tell me your reasons?"
Xiao Chen saluted and spoke in a deep voice: "Ling Yuanxing is the old capital of our Rong Kingdom. No matter what, it was the place where the king of the country was personally in charge. There are many inappropriate things to give to me, which will cause criticism from the ministers in the court. The old capital of Jie Kingdom is almost for the same reason. If I really choose this fiefdom, it will definitely cause trouble in the country. Since this is the case, I can only choose a third fiefdom."
"The people in the cabinet have said these words countless times. I don't want to listen to them again. What I want is the real thoughts in your heart." Lord Rong waved his hand, and a hint of dissatisfaction appeared on his face.
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly and bowed, "Since that's the case, I have to tell the truth. In order to completely control Xiao's troops, I had to use tough measures to pull out all the forces in the country. Now, although I am honored by the title of Duke and the lord, no one dares to make a head-on embarrassment with me, my secret calculation methods are inevitable. If I really use Ling Yuan Star and the surrounding cultivation stars as my territory, I am afraid I will never have a day of peace. As for the heavens
Yuan Wangxing, this place cannot be chosen. Although Jie Kingdom no longer exists now, some old forces will still be retained. I have made great efforts to collapse Jie Kingdom. When I get there, the outcome may be even more miserable than Lingyuan Star. Three places, only the asteroid system close to the deserted alien domain is the best choice. Although it is a little remote and desolate, the Jie Kingdom has the least old forces left, so it is easier for me to establish a foothold."
Lord Rong nodded slightly, "That's all?"
Xiao Chen's face turned abrupt and he saluted respectfully. "What he said first is the reason. I believe that the result of the discussion among the adults in the cabinet was mostly to let me go to this remote galaxy. Perhaps the lord of the country couldn't bear it and had never made a decision, but I had no complaints!"
"If there is no order from the lord of the State, I will not be able to join the army smoothly, and there will be no achievements and achievements today. All of these are given by the lord. I am willing to protect the border for the lord! If I have the opportunity, I can even attack the alien alien domain, open up new star domains, and continue to expand the territory for the lord to repay the lord's great kindness!"
This statement was firm and powerful, and loud. Xiao Chen looked sincere on his face, and the image of a loyal and patriotic minister appeared.
With the suspicious nature of the King of Rong, he couldn't help but move slightly at this moment, and his face became softer and softer. "Xiao Qing, you have to think clearly before making a choice. The alien alien domain is extremely dangerous. Not only are there various ferocious beasts, but there are also extraterritorial cultivation. Although the galaxy here is of good quality, the Jie Kingdom has been harassed by the alien alien domain since its in charge. It has never developed it. It has to station a large army all year round, and it is exhausted. If you really choose this place, you may not be able to enjoy the peace and happiness."
"If you eat the king's fortune and loyalty to the king, and your minister is the minister of the king, you should share the worries and problems for the king. Since the border is unstable, your minister cannot choose to retreat because of this."
"Please allow me to give this remote star field to me as territory! I promise that as long as I am within one day, I will be a barrier to the kingdom, and the outside world will definitely prevent the outsiders from entering our Rong country!"
Xiao Chen spoke in a deep voice and bowed deeply.
The Lord of Rong pondered for a long time before nodding slowly, "Okay! Since that's the case, Gu agreed to what Xiao Qing asked. I hope Xiao Qing can be diligent and self-control, and don't let down the bold words and the valuation of the Lone King!"
"I will do my best!"
"The fiefdom matter has come to an end for the time being. Now the time has been delayed for a long time. There is not much time left before lunch. I will leave first. After Xiao Qing changed into the national tutus, there will naturally be close servants to go to the banquet hall." The Lord of Rong stood up and walked away.
Xiao Chen bowed respectfully and said, "Greatly send the lord to the king." He paused for a moment, and after the lord Rong had completely gone away, he slowly raised his head, his expression was calm, but his heart was solemn, and his palms were slightly wet.

Regarding the setting of the Great Thousand Realm, I think I should say a few words when I see the dissatisfaction and disappointment of many fellow Taoists.
The setting of the "country" of the Great Thousand Realms is something that Baozi had thought long ago. This can be seen when Xiao Chen inherited the bloodline of the Doro Naga clan and the word "The Song Dynasty" appears.
In the world I imagined, the Great Thousand Realm is a world that is far magnificent than the Small Thousand Realm. Taking the cultivation star as the unit, it is an extremely vast world! In this world, various cultivation resources are relatively small Thousand Realm, and the ephemeral world is countless times higher. In addition, with the almost endless territory, countless strong people can emerge. In this world, life span, bottleneck, and mood are not enough to become the key to the improvement of cultivation. The only important thing is resources!
The road to cultivation is getting more and more difficult, and further requires the loss of extremely terrifying resources for cultivation. Therefore, Baozi came up with the way of "killing and seeking the Tao" and "creating the Kingdom of God". There is no explanation for killing and seeking the Tao. Creating the Kingdom of God means that in the vast world, one has hundreds of millions of territory, billions of lions in his hand, absorbing endless faith, and gathering the resources for his own use. To do this, one needs to pass war. Therefore, Baozi added a considerable amount of war scenes to this part.
Because in war, Xiao Chen can easily kill and seek Taoism, gain a foothold in the shortest time, and create his own divine kingdom. Perhaps as some book friends said, this is not like the fantasy text they want to read! But fantasy text may not only be the battle and competition between individual monks. At least in the great world I set, the power of individual monks is not the strongest before it reaches its peak.
The bleak monthly tickets this month have proved that everyone is not very accepting. As a writer, I will try my best to consider the opinions of book friends, so Baozi will try to compress the links of war. However, in the vast world, the only word "fight" and "snatch" in the Taoist world is to practice Taoism. War is an indispensable part, so it can only be simplified.
This month is the end of the month. I hope that the new month can get out of the low point and continue to write passionate stories for everyone.
ps1: This part is not charged.
ps2: Please give me some motivation for change.
