Chapter 343 Nangong Zhi
On the third day after Zhang Hao set off, the caravan of the newly established Lingfeng Group also set off.
Feng Zhiling, who couldn't sit still at all, took a group of rookies who had just made a breakthrough and were full of excitement, and brought a total of 3,000 carriages and tens of thousands of people (including many small businesses), and embarked on the journey of opening up business routes. "Easy Journey".
This is a group of second-generation ancestors!
Everyone talked and laughed, and there was no worry at all. The blockade of the surrounding countries, etc., was completely ignored.
Hmph, we are the Nascent Soul stage disciples from Xuanzhen Sect, and we are after the 'Crossing Tribulation'!
While walking, Feng Zhiling was talking to Zheng Yuanzi, Zhang Hao's cheap senior brother.
"I always feel that we must be sold by Zhang Hao this time! Zhang Hao is the biggest profiteer. We were sold, and he is still happily counting the money for him!"
Zhengyuanzi is not happy, after all, he is my junior brother, and everyone just enjoyed a 'strike from the sky'. Therefore, Zhengyuanzi has an opinion: "Zhengfengzi..."
"Aha... Junior brother, just call me by my common name. It's better not to call me this Taoist name, it sounds a bit unfamiliar to me."
"That won't work, brothers from the same sect, how can you call them by lay names. Zhang Hao is an exception. We are different. We have lived together for so many years, so we still have to call them Dao names."
Feng Zhiling gritted his teeth immediately: "You try shouting again! Don't forget, I am a disciple of law enforcement, and I am also the president of Lingfeng Group. Believe it or not, I will give you small shoes to wear!"
Zheng Yuanzi crossed his arms and glanced at Feng Zhiling triumphantly: "Okay, you are crazy, you can try it. I will ask my junior to raise the price for you!"
"You...you're being foolish!"
"What's wrong with me being foolish, brother, you seemed to be fooling around just now!"
"Haha... Is there? Is there? Why don't I remember." Feng Zhiling pulled the unlucky guy beside him, "Junior Zhengyi, brother, did I play tricks just now?"
Zheng Zhengzi looked bewildered: "Eh...brother, I was thinking about something just now, what did you just say?"
Feng Zhiling: ... You bastard, you should be called 'Zheng Blind', why does everyone seem to be smarter than me?
The crowd made a lot of noise and finally came to the border of Qixia Kingdom; after passing the border of Qixia Kingdom, it was the border of Jinyang Kingdom. But the border gate is closed!
"Open the door!" Feng Zhiling was furious. My younger brothers and sisters are not easy to attack, you are a defender of a small country, dare to say no to me and try!
…………
However, since the Kingdom of Jinyang was defeated and Yunhai County was ceded, Jiangling City, the big western city of the Kingdom of Jinyang, which was the city where the second prince of the Kingdom of Qixia was stopped, has become the western gate of the Kingdom of Jinyang.
As the Kingdom of Jinyang and other countries re-blocked the Kingdom of Qixia, it gradually became a military center.
And Ma Kui, the former guard of Huaishan Pass, also guarded the border here.
For a period of time, Ma Kui has been preparing for the battle, and he only waited for half a year when the armies of the five countries united to destroy the Qixia Kingdom.
In Ma Kui's view, Qixia Kingdom actually exchanged a fairy spirit stone for half a year, which is like getting water in the head. This fairy spirit stone can at least exchange for a master in the late stage of transformation, and protect the Qixia Kingdom for dozens of years. year!
Although this fairy stone is not his own, it still hurts to think about it after seeing Ma Kui. Fairy stone, the legendary fairy stone actually exists!
But it doesn't matter, the Qixia Kingdom is also an idiot, they don't even know that even if you didn't ask the Xuanzhen Sect to take action, we wouldn't plan to take action within half a year. The last war was too tragic, and the losses have not been made up. All countries need preparation time, and even running-in time.
Ma Kui was thinking about it, but a young general came to report, "General, there is a caravan coming from Qixia Kingdom, which is very arrogant. The team has... has..."
"have what!"
"There are more than three hundred babies!"
"Pfft..." Ma Kui snorted, ignoring the young general at all, grabbed his weapon and flew towards the top of the city like lightning, and then he was stunned. There were really more than three hundred babies, but why did they all look like they had just broken through? look?
Could it be that more than three hundred people broke through together? Where do these people come from? Look at the clothes... the clothes... oh shit, these are the clothes of the inner sect of Xuanzhen Sect! There are more than three hundred Xuanzhen Sect inner disciples, all of them are in the Nascent Soul stage!
Ma Kui broke out in cold sweat in an instant, and he thought of a lot in an instant. The first thing that comes to mind is: I am so stupid, the Qixia Kingdom exchanged a bright pearl for half a year, and the Qixia Kingdom will definitely not sit still in this half a year.
No, today, more than 300 disciples of Xuanzhen Sect have been brought into business!
Ma Kui has one head and two big ones.
When he was in a daze, he saw that the leader below had already flown up, facing him face to face, and said coldly, "You are the guard here? Open the city gate!"
Feeling the opponent's cultivation at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, Ma Kui could only suppress his anger, "I don't know what to call it?"
"Feng Zhiling."
"Then...the dao name is..."
Feng Zhiling's complexion changed rapidly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Zheng Fengzi!"
Ma Kui's mind raced, he didn't pay attention to Feng Zhiling's expression at all. He hesitated and said, "That fellow Daoist Zhengfengzi..."
"Who the hell is a fellow Taoist with you! Do you deserve it?" Feng Zhiling was furious. Don't look serious in front of Zhang Hao and others, but if you treat Feng Zhiling like a soft-footed cat, you can't. So wrong.
To be able to become a Nascent Soul Stage requires at least a firm belief, and people with firm belief are generally not easy to bully. Even, in this practice world, many Nascent Soul Stages came out of killing.
Feng Zhiling's roar frightened Ma Kui, he stared blankly at Feng Zhiling for a while, but his anger came from his heart. 'Friend of the Daoist' is just a popular title, you cling to this... what does it mean! Your fucking head is flooded! Well, I'll bear it, Xuanzhenjiao... you're not good enough!
However, Feng Zhiling didn't care about these things. "You are the guard here? Open the door! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"
"This..." Ma Kui Ninja was furious, "Zhengfengzi, I respect you as a disciple of Xuanzhen Sect, but this is the land of Jinyang, and it's not up to you!"
"Tch..." Feng Zhiling sneered, "Are you joking? The west of Fertility Island is the place of Xuanzhen Sect. Is there any place we can't go? Come on, tell me, can we not go in here?
As long as you say 'no', we will turn around and leave immediately! Really, I, Feng Zhiling, keep my word! I will never embarrass you! "
Ma Kui's face turned even darker. If he really dared to say this, maybe a master of Xuanzhen Sect would come over in a while and uproot the Kingdom of Jinyang!
The Kingdom of Jinyang and the Xiaoyao Sect were struggling with each other before, so is it true that the Xuanzhen Sect has no anger at all? That's a good excuse for not finding a good opportunity! If you really dare to block Feng Zhiling's caravan today, you will be in trouble in the future!
Ma Kui had no choice but to order to open the border. Even if many small generals objected, they were worried that the experts from the Qixia Kingdom would be mixed in, and worried that the Qixia Kingdom would immediately launch a counterattack.
But finally Ma Kui could only grit his teeth and open the door.
If you don't open it, you will be in more trouble!
"Hmph!" Feng Zhiling snorted coldly, the west of Feituzhou is the sphere of influence of Xuanzhen Sect, and there are very few teams who dare to intercept Xuanzhen Sect's teams openly.
Of course, under normal circumstances, Xuanzhen Sect will not overwhelm others with power. After all, the holy land still has the code of conduct of the holy land.
But who made the country of Jinyang 'unhealthy'! He had just signed a peace agreement with the Qixia Kingdom, and turned his back on him! He had just purchased cheap pills from the Qixia Kingdom, and turned his head to point the finger at the Qixia Kingdom. In addition, the country of Jinyang was once unclear with the Xiaoyao faction, this is simply a negative example!
The reason why Feng Zhiling chose the direction of the Kingdom of Jinyang, of course, was deeply considered.
Finally, Ma Kui still had some guts, and finally stopped the team—tariff!
Although your Xuanzhen Sect is powerful, you must always speak the truth!
This point, Feng Zhiling is not easy to lose - Xuanzhen Sect's face, a total of 12,000 high-grade spirit stones have been paid in tariffs. But in the end Feng Zhiling smiled and took out 11,999 high-grade spirit stones, "Take one away, and take it as a warning to you. Don't dare to intercept it next time, hmph!"
Feng Zhiling led the team, and Shi Shiran left. It made Ma Kui tremble with anger, but he was helpless. But in the end he kept his calm and hurriedly sent a letter to the city lord of Jiangling City to report the situation.
However, Dong Shikui, the lord of Jiangling City, has no good way to deal with Feng Zhiling and his party. This is a bunch of uncles! Especially everyone who has just made a breakthrough, everyone is very excited, and can't wait to find someone to try it right away!
The caravan of Lingfeng Group moved forward all the way. Although the caravan was slow, it passed through the Land of Canglan after fifteen days, and arrived at the Land of Shaoze, General Wuwei's territory on the seventeenth day.
General Wu Wei personally received Feng Zhiling. This time Feng Zhiling didn't have much arrogance, and said directly: "General Zhao, let's make a deal directly, we have to hurry. The price will be based on the price Zhang Hao negotiated with you.
Of course, if you can provide some excellent medicinal materials, I can make the decision and lower the price a little bit! "
"Haha, thank you so much."
The deal with the warlord was very quick, and neither side delayed at all. On-site counting, on-site transactions, no credit for buying and leaving hands.
And in the accompanying team, there are also engineers from Dayang Group. The leading engineer is 'Liu Guodong', which was provided by the Qixia Kingdom and the Royal Firm. He is just an ordinary engineer, but at least he has mastered the general black iron smelting, artillery production and other technologies.
Liu Xinyu's support this time is really strong, even the Land of Canglan did not get these technologies. Although Canglan Kingdom indirectly obtained the black iron smelting technology and the blueprint of the artillery, it did not have the support of engineers and could only rely on its own groping.
But now it is different, the country of Qixia actually sent engineers. It seems that he is not an excellent engineer, but at least it is enough to help General Wuwei lay the industrial foundation as soon as possible.
In the caravan, there are a large number of key steam turbines, artillery parts and so on.
Liu Guodong also brought a lot of jade slips, which recorded a lot of information, including the Qixia Kingdom's great voyage, steel warships, and some battle 'videos' of steel warships - jade slips can record these things, but they are relatively vague .
Then there's the artillery, the power of the artillery salvo, and the Iron Legion.
There is also the development of industry and commerce in Qixia Country, especially the changes brought about by industrial development and so on.
The Kingdom of Qixia really made great efforts. Of course, there are as many benefits as there should be. Technology can be given away for free, but... future transactions with the Qixia Kingdom will only be subject to a symbolic 1% tariff—not the usual 10% that everyone acquiesces in.
Until Feng Zhiling and others left, General Wuwei Zhao Chen was still in shock. He suddenly felt lucky, thanks to the promise to cooperate with Qixia Kingdom.
But then he looked to the east with some worry—Zhang Hao and his party continued to negotiate with other separatist regimes.
Zhang Hao made it very clear - we are here for business, so of course we have to visit a few more.
…………
Feng Zhiling and his team were very happy. The transaction just completed made everyone a fortune. From Qixia Country to General Wuwei, the cost price of the elixir increased by an average of 20%.
That is to say, it turns out that an ordinary Peiyuan pill costs 0.5 spirit stones, and the cost price to transport it here is about 0.6 spirit stones. But during the transaction process, the quotation was 1 spirit stone.
And the medicinal materials, spiritual materials, etc. purchased from here are very good, and they can be sold at about double the price if they change hands later. Because it has been squeezed by the surrounding countries all the year round, the prices of medicinal materials and spiritual materials here are much, much lower than those in the outside world.
When Feng Zhiling and his party continued to move forward, Zhang Hao had already arrived at the center of the Land of Shaoze, and saw the "Shaoze River", known as the largest river in the west of the Land of Fertility. The country of Shaoze is named after the Shaoze River.
Standing on the shore, Dugu Junjie explained with some pride:
"It is said that the Shaoze River stretches for more than 20,000 miles and has many huge tributaries. Its main rivers are two: the Daxue Mountain originates from the northern border of the Taihua Kingdom in the northwest and borders the Zhongshan Kingdom. We call it the Xijiang River.
There is also a "Hengduan Mountain" originating thousands of miles away in the northeast, which is the mainstream of the Shaoze River, and is generally called the "Dongjiang" or the East Shaoze River.
After the confluence, the Shaoze River is usually called the Nanjiang River.
Our current location is about a hundred miles to the south after the confluence of the Xijiang River and the Shaoze River. At the confluence of the two rivers is the former imperial capital of the country of Shaoze, Jinjiang City!
Jinjiang City is a prosperous city built on the Xijiang, Dongjiang, and Nanjiang rivers. It uses the channel of the Shaoze River to connect all the prosperous areas of the country.
Once, on the Nanjiang River, the largest ship of more than 80 feet appeared! According to our calculation method, it is almost 270 meters long and has a displacement of more than 30,000 tons!
At the busiest time, boats connected to boats, and at the confluence of the three rivers in Jinjiang City, cultivators had to use spells to propel the boats to prevent collisions. "
Zhang Hao listened silently, but his heart was a little shocked. The Shaoze Jiangnan River in front of me is so wide that it is almost impossible to see the cattle and horses on the opposite side, only black spots can be seen moving.
The width of the river here is definitely more than three kilometers! What is rare is that the river here is wide and gentle.
On the surface of the water, three or two boats floated by. But the largest boat Zhang Hao has seen now is estimated to be less than 100 meters.
At this time, the Shaoze River is in a primitive tranquility!
"What a big river! It's almost twice the width of Jinjiang!"
Zhang Hao looked at it for a while, and then directed the flying boat to go north along the river. The ones who are going to visit this time are Hushi General and Nangong Zhi.
After the Kingdom of Shaoze was torn apart, General Hussars took over the imperial capital Jinjiang City and dominated the center of the Kingdom of Shaoze. Now twenty or thirty years have passed, and it has withstood the attacks from all around it and gained a firm foothold.
Along the way, Zhang Hao visited more than a dozen separatist regimes, large and small, and among the "fifteen major separatist regimes", Zhang Hao also visited five. But except for General Wuwei Zhao Chen who surprised Zhang Hao at the beginning, the rest of Zhang Hao could only shake his head.
Now, when it comes to the second goal set by Liu Xinyu, Zhang Hao has an inexplicable expectation in his heart.
Those who can occupy the center of the empire in the chaos and gain a firm foothold, whether it is military power or political wisdom, are probably no small matter.
This Nangong Zhi, I'm afraid it's not good to 'fool'!
But Zhang Hao had an inexplicable expectation and excitement in his heart.
From afar, Zhang Hao saw a majestic city from the flying boat, and the city completely wrapped the area where the three rivers meet. Standing high in the sky, I couldn't even see the end of the city wall. I can only see that the two sides are gradually shrinking, and finally it seems to merge with the earth.
But before Zhang Hao got close, he saw two Nascent Soul Stages waiting quietly in the sky. When Zhang Hao was about one kilometer away, one person said loudly:
"Hussar General's Mansion, Chief of Guard Zhong Xingyue, under the order of the General, come to welcome the distinguished guests!"
(I broke out continuously some time ago, and I couldn’t keep up with the train of thought, plot, outline, etc., and I was overdrawn. Take a two-day break. Forgive me.)
