Chapter 349 Visit Invitation

"Did they take action?"

"The one who was killed was a dragon named Zhu." The girl said again, "Judging from the relationship, he is my ancestor. King Wei introduced Zhu into the palace, and then set up an ambush to kill him. There is no record of the process in the book, I only know that Zhu eventually died in the palace, and his chest and abdomen were disemboweled, leaving no remains.”

Her voice was soft and her tone did not fluctuate.

"Lord Chi..." Kong Xuanzi said worriedly.

"It doesn't matter, this is a tragedy that Penglai cannot forget, and I should be the one to tell it." Chi stretched out his hand to interrupt him, "Long and his partner will be inseparable and live and die together. Zhu's wife has suffered almost half of the pain , unfortunately or fortunately, she is a human, so she did not survive the topping. It was her experience that made Penglai realize that something unexpected happened in the capital of King Wei. "

"The funny thing is that King Wei didn't know anything about this connection. He even wanted to trick another dragon into going to the royal capital." At this point, she tightened her fists on her knees. "But this time, he waited until It was the anger of his ancestors. There were heavy rains in the capital for more than ten days, and the floods overflowed the embankment and rushed into the city. King Wei fled in panic and was killed by another dragon on the way, and the latter also died among many people who were affected by the Qi. Under the siege and suppression, this incident not only killed two of the dragons on Penglai Island, but also affected the surrounding people - the flooding flooded many villages and farmland, and nearly ten thousand people died from the floods, and they were all affected by the floods before. The one protected by the dragon.”

Xia Fan noticed that her thumb was shaking slightly.

"The only remaining dragon is my grandmother. She knew that the relationship that had been maintained for hundreds of years was gone, so she sealed off Penglai Island and set up a formation on the seaside to let the fog linger all year round. From that day on, the dragon Then he disappeared from everyone's sight." Chi paused, "The people on the island only learned later that less than ten years later, the Wei Kingdom was defeated by the Chu Kingdom and declared destroyed."

"I understand..." Xia Fan couldn't help but sigh. Although the origin of the situation at that time could no longer be traced, he had a vague feeling that there were probably shadows of neighboring countries behind those rumors. The people of Wei State have been protected by dragons for hundreds of years, but in the end they suffered disaster because of dragons. This is undoubtedly a lose-lose situation, and the only beneficiary is Chu State, which does not rely on dragons for development.

"No wonder there is no record about dragons in the evil book of the Privy Council. Your grandmother's choice is correct. Only time can calm the resentment and hatred. It is estimated that in the eyes of most people, after the two dragons die, there will be no real dragon in Penglai ”

"Not only the dragons, but even Penglai Island has been almost forgotten by the world." Chi did not shy away from this, "After I entered Mao Kingdom, almost no one knew that there was a hidden island overseas, except for the Privy Council Mansion."

After all, that was more than five hundred years ago. Xia Fan nodded, "Has the Privy Council landed on Penglai Island?"

"When I left, they were trying to dismantle the magic circle. To be on the safe side, I asked everyone to disperse away from the island. Even if the alchemists go up, there is nothing worth plundering."

There is nothing left, but it is impossible to erase the traces of living here.

The Privy Council of the State of Xu was afraid that it was based on this clue that they had touched Chi's tail.

But Xia Fan was still a little confused.

If they thought dragons were a huge threat, why was Xu Guo the only one operating in secret? If the power of the Seven Stars were used to search, Chi might not be able to reach Shenzhou alive.

Or...do they have something else they want from Chi?

And this thing must not be disclosed to outsiders - even the privy councils of other countries, which have been openly united, are also on guard.

Xia Fan looked at the other person carefully back and forth.

No matter what, the girl in front of me is the only remaining dragon in the world.

"Why, do I look strange somewhere?"

Chi raised his eyebrows slightly.

Xia Fan has discovered that when the other party is involved in business or feels unhappy, they will call themselves me. But a little girl who looked like she was only in her teens, addressed herself in an ancient language in a serious manner, which was quite interesting no matter how many times she heard it.

"No, I just remembered something." He smiled. If Li asked him this, he would definitely reply that you are very beautiful. But facing Miss Long, he had better forget it. He didn't want to do it at this time. A "diplomatic accident" occurred. "I have completely understood your purpose. Jinxia City can be freely lived by you and the people of Penglai Island. As for the need you mentioned...Jinxia City, and the entire Shenzhou, need everyone who can support its construction."

No, Master Xia, you don’t understand! Kong Xuanzi shouted in his heart.

"You don't understand." Chi couldn't help but emphasize, "I can adjust the climate of this place so that farmland spreads across the wilderness and the hills are covered with woods."

She raised her head and said, "On the way here, I did some research. Jinxia is also called Yancheng. It needs to cut down a lot of firewood to cook salt. It doesn't produce food here either. All the food needed has to be brought in from other places because it's too close." The sea can make farmland deserted if there is a violent storm. With my help, Jinxia will have endless wood to cut and enough food to be self-sufficient."

"Being able to control clouds and rain is indeed a rare ability, but..." Xia Fan cleared his throat, "Now that salt production here no longer requires firewood, and farmland is also being developed, it should be able to meet local demand by summer... You Is there anything else you want to do?”

"What?" Chi and Kong Xuanzi both said in shock.

"Lord Xia, but on the way here, we clearly saw a lot of felled tree trunks on the mountainside." Especially Kong Xuanzi, he originally thought that the other party's "but" was followed by "how much is the reward? It's too high and Jinxia can't afford it." At this time, Chi said his plan in passing, which was just right. Unexpectedly, the other party changed the subject and said that Jinxia didn't need this ability?

If the information three or four years ago may not keep up with the changes, they have inquired about the latest news. How could it be invalid in one or two months?

"You...you are not saying this deliberately for bargaining?" Chi's heart tightened, "The reward I want is not as high as you think."

"Of course not." Xia Fan was also a little embarrassed. What if the other party felt that he lacked sincerity and decided to look elsewhere? "How about this, I'll arrange a place for you to stay. After you've rested, I'll take you to visit the new salt fields and new farmland by the sea. After seeing it with your own eyes, you'll naturally understand how Jinxia City produces salt and farms now. Miss Chi, what do you think?"

"...I know." Chi agreed after a moment of silence, "But there's no need to wait until you've rested. If there's nothing else, please take us there now."
