Chapter 357 - Something Happens
Chapter 357: Something Happens
Qin Keqing put down the phone in her hand and weakly leaned against the chair in the office.
The phone call just now came from Xinluo.
Xinluo’s royal office personally called her.
She sighed and felt a headache!
The relationship between Xinluo and the federal empire was very special.
It was more special than all the other countries!
The country of micro, the county of Han..
The courtiers and concubines of the Tang Empire..
Therefore, the royal family of Xinluo could openly declare that they were the courtiers of Han and the concubines of the Tang empire after the Shang dynasty! In the past 3,000 years, Xinluo was the closest to the Empire!
Nobody could deny this.
In the past, when the previous dynasty collapsed, Xinluo had put on mourning clothes for it. At that time, the scholars of Jiangnan were worried that the water was too cold and their scalps itched…
When it came to the system of the great ancestor, Xinluo was the first to come to pay tribute.
Therefore, Xinluo’s status was considered by the federal empire as a ‘friendly neighboring country with special historical origins’.
On the other hand, the Xinluo people thought of themselves as the ‘bastard son of a country’.
Their status was only slightly lower than that of the southern Zhou, Northern Zhou, and Western song.
But it was higher than the autonomous prefectures/kingdoms like Donglai, Xiangshan, and Ryukyu.
Normally, the Xinluo People’s nostrils were facing the sky.
Regardless of whether it was Fu Sang or the other Nanyang countries, they were all acting like ‘elder brothers’.
Towards traditional values and morals, the Xinluo people were more thorough in their defense than the federal empire.
They were also the most thorough in their defense!
Naturally, when they heard that the imperial family of the Empire was going to re-organize the National Association of Meritorious Children.
The reaction speed of the Xinluo people was the fastest.
It was even faster than the overseas kingdoms!
The overseas kingdoms still had meetings and negotiations.
Xinluo didn’t need it!
A call from the royal office directly reached Qin Keqing.
The first thing she said was, “I’m willing to add color to the son of heaven…”
What color?
Don’t ask, just ask what color you want!
This was a headache.
Qin Keqing rubbed her sore temples.
“Xinluo…” She felt a headache!
Xinluo was a staff member of the Imperial Family, a foreign country that gave her the biggest headache.
When dealing with Xinluo, she had to be full of vigor.
If she was not careful, they could exploit a loophole and cause a diplomatic dispute, or even break the current order!
Sighing, Qin Keqing picked up the phone and called her superior, Crown Princess Rouan. She had to ask the crown princess for instructions on how to reply to Xinluo.
…
“Dear passengers, this ship is about to arrive at the terminal of this voyage, namely Jiangdu Port!”
“Please check your belongings and wait on the deck for disembarkation…”
“Jiangdu port is the most famous tourist port in the northern part of Southern Zhou…”
Li An’an and Chu Weiwei carried their luggage and walked out of the cabin that they had stayed in for many days.
They followed the crowd in front of them and walked out of the cabin and onto the deck.
In the distance, they saw a modern harbor.
They had arrived at Jiangdu port in southern Zhou.
This was the largest harbor in the northern part of South Zhou, and also the most important harbor in the northern part of South Zhou.
It had a history of hundreds of years.
It could be traced back to the time when the colonists from land of Qin arrived in South Zhou.
“South Zhou Is Here!” Li An’an rubbed his fists and couldn’t wait.
She had already chosen several destinations for this trip.
In addition to the great rivers and rivers in the southern Zhou, she also wanted to go to the western part of South Zhou.
There was the clearest lake on the plateau.
It was known as the realm of the sky!
When she was in school, Li An’an had already been longing for it.
Now, she could finally have a taste of her long-cherished wish!
Thus, she happily opened her umbrella.
Under the umbrella, the kaleidoscope-like color began to rotate.
However, Chu Weiwei seemed to be busy swiping her phone.
Li An’an looked at it and turned her head to look. She asked, “What’s Wrong?”
Chu Weiwei raised her phone and said, “Captain, the eldest princess is going to hold an all-world fellowship party…”
“Many people are saying that this is probably to prepare for the emperor’s selection!”She handed her phone to Li An’an.
Li An’an looked at it and realized that it was a WeChat group.
It belonged to the inner group of the Blackguard.
The people inside were discussing the latest decision of the royal family enthusiastically.
Most of the people’s arguments were focused on the fact that the eldest princess was preparing for the selection of the son of heaven who was about to reach adulthood.
Li An’an looked at it for a while and nodded in agreement. “Now, the whole world is going to be lively!”
The son of heaven was the monarch, but the empress was also the monarch.
She was the Earth monarch.
The mother was the ruler of the world, and the swamp was the ruler of the common people.
According to tradition, the Empress of the Empire would also concurrently be the honorary president of the Federation of Women of the Federal Empire, the chairman of the Committee for the protection of children and women’s rights, and the Chief of the Department of Children’s welfare.
In terms of power and influence, she was not inferior to the emperor.
And today, when the Emperor ascended to the throne, he was the first emperor to ascend to the throne as an underage.
He was also the first emperor to ascend to the throne, and the palace was empty.
Therefore, in fact, the entire country was waiting for the emperor’s wedding.
Especially the traditional conservatives.
So, once the wedding was held, the new Empress would bear and gather the expectations and gazes of the entire world.
She would become the most powerful woman in the world.
Hence, Li An’an understood that the entire world was about to change because of this matter.
Those ancient families…
Those merchants who were as rich as a country…
As well as the various countries inside and outside…
They would all move because of this!
For the sake of the empire’s position, it was likely that from today onwards, the imperial capital would fight openly and secretly.
Li An’an stuffed the phone back into Chu Weiwei’s hand. “Weiwei… does anyone from your family want to participate?”
Chu Weiwei shook her head. “I don’t know…”
She still had a few younger sisters at home.
Perhaps they would participate?
She held the phone and asked, “Captain, do you think the higher-ups will send us back to participate in security?”
Li An’an shook her head. “I don’t know…”
But judging from the direction of the wind..
She felt that she couldn’t run away.
She didn’t see it..
She was now known as the ‘Koi’ by many local chiefs of the Blackguard.
There were even rumors that she was the reincarnation of some boy beside Guanyin Bodhisattva.
It made her extremely annoyed.
There would always be people who would find her quietly and ask for her advice.
They would even want to ask her about the lottery, the stock market…
Therefore, she knew that even if it was based on metaphysical considerations, she would probably be transferred back to the imperial capital to participate in security.
Speaking of which…
Li An’an looked at Chu Weiwei and said, “Maybe, at that time, my nephew will also go…”
Chu Weiwei didn’t understand. “What is he going to do?”
“Attend the meeting!” Li An’an said, “My nephew is a meritorious orphan!”
“He will receive the federation’s allowance and receive the same treatment as a meritorious official!”
Chu Weiwei’s eyes lit up.
After a loyal official, the son of a righteous person.
Since ancient times, people like this were respected.
“How is it?” Li An’an became complacent. “Weiwei, do you want to hurry up and contact him!”
“Captain!” Chu Weiwei was a little angry.
However, her heart was more or less moving.
The descendant of a hero, the son of a righteous person.
To all the women in the federation, this was a bonus.
However…
Chu Weiwei lowered her head. She knew that she would probably never have the chance to be with a man in her life.
That was a realm of nightmare…
It was like two huge mountains were pressing down on her shoulders, making it hard for her to breathe.
But…
“Perhaps… I can introduce others to young master ling…”
“It’s also good to repay the captain’s kindness!”
…
Siam kingdom.
In the Siam River Temple, Cai Nong opened his eyes.
He looked at an officer kneeling in front of him.
“You are saying…”
“The emperor might choose the Empress?”
“The king wants me to escort the princess and the women of her age to the imperial capital?”
After obtaining the authority to sort out the ley lines and adjust the wind and rain, Cai Nong carried out the orders and orders that came from the unseen world. At the same time, his status in Siam also rose.
Not only did he manage to clear his name, but he also became a guest of the Siam Royal Family.
He had obtained a social status that he had never dared to dream of before!
In the nightmare world, he relied on those two undying feathers to make a name for himself!
Therefore, he became one of the rulers behind the scenes of Siamese.
However…
Even so…
Cai Nong did not dare to let his guard down. He even became low-key.
He knew his own capabilities and understood his own status.
Therefore, he immediately leaned towards the Siamese royal family.
That was because the Siamese royal family was Orthodox!
They were the legitimate rulers recognized by the son of Heaven of the Federal Empire!
Don’t look at how vague this recognition was. It didn’t seem to have any effect.
However, in the transcendent being world, everyone knew not to offend the giant in the south.
Otherwise..
They would be beaten to death!
Just like a week ago, the owner of this temple was a snake demon who had cultivated successfully.
However, this snake demon was too high-profile.
Therefore, it was dragged out from the underground cave of the temple by a person who came from the south wearing rubber shoes and a tie.
The flesh and skin were all peeled off.
The snake gall was soaked in the wine jar and taken away.
At that time, Cai Nong was beside him.
He was so scared that he didn’t even dare to breathe.
It was because of this that he was able to rise to the top.
He became the master of this temple.
He became the current Cai Nong!
Hence, when Cai Nong heard about the purpose of this officer’s visit, he was hesitant.
The Federal Empire was a tiger’s den.
And the imperial capital was the core of the Tiger’s Den, where the true dragons resided.
“Master…” The officer bowed and said, “The king wants you to protect him in secret…”
“You will have a diplomatic passport and diplomatic protection…”
“The Blackguard won’t make things difficult…”
Cai Nong shook his head. Of course, he knew this.
But the crux of the problem was…
The Blackguard wouldn’t interfere with him, but what about the other people?
Those who wanted to become the ruler would definitely eliminate all possible competitors at any cost.
How could his tiny arms and legs withstand such a scene?
“Master…”the officer saw it and understood Cai Nong’s worries, so he bowed and said, “You don’t have to worry either…”
“The king has already discussed with King Johor and King Jiaozhi…”
“This time, the Nanyang countries are working together to face the outside world…”
“Master Jinguang of Ceylon has also promised…”
“He’s willing to prepare a Buddha Lotus for everyone who goes to the imperial capital…”
Finally, Cai Nong was moved when he heard this.
Ceylon was a Buddhist kingdom.
When the spirit aura was awakened, there were powerful spirit aura tides that attacked Ceylon’s Spirit Pagoda.
It enabled the Buddha bones to awaken a portion of their spirituality.
Under the illumination of the Buddha’s spiritual light, the Buddha Lotus bloomed beside Ceylon’s Spirit Pagoda.
Every ten years, the lotus flowers could be plucked.
According to legends, the lotus flowers had all kinds of magical effects.
It even contained a miraculous effect that could produce white bones.
It was a widely recognized Buddhist medicine.
Currently, the one guarding the spiritual pagoda was Master Jinguang, an eminent monk who had already stepped into the Arhat realm.
The Siamese Buddha worshiped the Buddha, and the lotus flowers held a very high position in Siam.
Even without considering its usefulness, just its symbolic significance, Cai Nong knew that he had to go this time!
Because, with the Buddha Lotus, he could be considered to have truly cleared his name.
Only now did he have the right to pass on his wealth and status to his descendants.
It was not to the extent that once he died in the nightmare world, his descendants would have to return to their precarious lives.
Therefore, Cai Nong nodded. “Since it’s the king’s order, I will naturally follow it!”
…
Alucard sat in the living room and watched the broadcast on the TV.
It was a report about the real estate contract between various departments.
He had watched it several times.
“It seems…” he thought, “That person doesn’t like others to mess around in his territory!”
Alucard could imagine that this real estate project that had been going smoothly in the beginning was suddenly being interviewed.
There must have been an act of force majeure.
And the only act of force majeure here was the owner of the bookstore.
At this moment, a priest wearing a holy robe walked up to him and bowed to report, “Your Highness…”
“The Queen has received an invitation from the Federal Empire…”
He sent a diplomatic telegram to Alucard.
Alucard picked it up and took a look.
He smiled.
“It seems that our contact with the federal empire on the diplomatic level is already very close!”
“Even for such a matter, they are willing to invite us!”
The message mentioned the Empire’s invitation to the royal family of the Butania Kingdom.
Of course, the wording was very appropriate and very cautious.
It only said ‘friendly exchanges’ and ‘promoting friendship’.
However, this was already earth-shattering!
One had to know that in eastern culture, the boundaries were very carefully divided.
According to the Easterners, this etiquette could not have the slightest flaw.
This was because it was related to the national character and also related to dignity.
Therefore, the easterners invited others to visit them. This was the most direct way to treat them as their own people and friends.
The priest lowered his head and said, “Of course…”
“We have realistic interests…”
Alucard laughed when he heard this.
In the early and middle stages of the hundred-year war, the Qin-lu Alliance army, which was mainly based in Butania, fought fiercely with this country’s expeditionary army in the Northern Zhou dynasty.
Both sides bled and fought to the death.
But at the end of the hundred-year war, they secretly hooked up again.
Now, they had openly issued an invitation.
An invitation from a ‘friend’.
This made Alucard unable to help but recall the famous saying of Boutania: There are no eternal allies, only eternal interests.
The current land of Qin was surging with undercurrents after the fall of the Order of the temple.
After the balance was broken, land of Qin already had a new power that was about to rise.
The strength that rose up this time came from Poland, the shield of God!
A hundred years ago, the Polish royal family obtained the position of emperor-elect through war.
Now, the Polish royal family, which had grown stronger, was ambitious. They consolidated the surrounding countries and wanted to invade the land of Qin in the north with the slogan of ‘conquer the heretics’.
Once they completed this great undertaking.
To Qin Lu, this was the winged cavalry of the new era!
The Polish king would wear the crown of the Holy Roman Empire!
And the thing that Butania was most afraid of was someone integrating and unifying the land of Qin.
Then, he would raise the two-headed eagle of Rome, cross the strait, and once again conquer the Norman Empire. He would charge the Butanians eleven taxes.
Therefore, almost without thinking, Alucard said, “Reply to the Queen, I have no objections!”
After meeting the owner of the bookstore, Alucard understood that the fate of the world would be decided by the owner of the bookstore in the eastern city!
Humans were like ants in front of him.
Even he, the so-called Blood River Overlord, was an undying monster.
He was just a stronger ant.
“Your Highness…” The priest raised his head. “Her Majesty the Queen wants you to be responsible for the safety of our diplomatic mission…”
Alucard raised his head. “Then, what about Duke Rhein?”
The assassins of the Church of bones dreamed of making Van Helsing’s bloodline disappear.
They must strike him down!
They wanted him to fall into a deep sleep because of the contract!
Butania, who had lost him, was like an egg without an eggshell in front of the Church of bones.
“We will ask General Song Shihui to protect the safety of the Duchess!”
“Song Shihui?”
“Yes!” The priest said, “We have signed a secret agreement with them. We agree to respect each other and protect the safety and freedom of our Nationals!”
“This is the alliance between the Dragon Flag and St. George’s Flag!”
Alucard laughed when he heard this.
Just then, a phrase popped up in his mind, which was ‘Blasphemous Alliance’!
The blasphemous alliance from the last time seemed to have been established on this basis!
