Chapter 715 Returning Home

This is not surprising, because they can be self-sufficient in food and clothing, and the refugees who are willing to follow them do not have much savings, so there is almost no money circulating within the sect.

The only income of the Salvation Sect comes from the local treasury silver seized during the siege, which is basically a sourceless water. It is okay to use it to buy some urgently needed daily necessities, but it is stretched to buy weapons on a large scale.

Judging from the meaning of the princess and Xia Fan, Jinxia did not object to the sale of weapons, and even gave a price list considerately. Among them, the weapon called "air rifle" is the main equipment used by Jinxia's army. The price of one is as high as 300 taels of silver, which made Li Mengyun gasp.

In total, she needs at least one million taels of silver to reach a relatively satisfactory deal with Jinxia.

Just as Li Mengyun was staring at the price list and was in a dilemma, Xia Fan took the initiative to speak, "Is your sect worried about money? If you can't get the money for the time being, I can also provide other payment methods."

"What is it?" She replied almost instantly. The moment she said this, Li Mengyun realized that she had exposed the fact that the Salvation Church had little money, and her face couldn't help but get a little hot. But the threat of the evil spirit was real, and the face of the sect was not mentioned in front of the lives of the soldiers.

"Jinxia can first deliver part of the goods you want in the form of accounting. As for the exchange..." Xia Fan paused slightly, "You can wait until I go to the patio area to check it out before deciding. In addition, Baiyao Mountain also needs to be open to Jinxia City. Those who have been authorized by the Affairs Bureau can go to Baiyao Mountain to develop resources, exchange technology or conduct business activities."

This means that a mountainous area that has been closed for decades will welcome outsiders.

Li Mengyun frowned, "This... I have to ask the Pope's opinion. You should know that the Seven Stars Privy Council and Prince Yong don't want the Salvation Church to continue to exist."

"I understand, so I said limited opening." Xia Fan said happily, "People who have been certified by the Affairs Bureau represent Jinxia's official identity. I can guarantee that they are not spies of the Seven Stars or subordinates of Prince Yong, and it is even less likely that they are infected by evil spirits."

"Do you mean it is equivalent to official exchanges?"

"You can think so."

Li Mengyun's expression improved a lot, "I think the Pope will not refuse. Then... I need weapons, medicine and shock lamps, as well as their principles of use."

If the principles are not known, the Qi Sensor will not be able to drive these equipment with talismans and magic tools as the core.

"Of course," Xia Fan responded, "I will send someone to guide you until you fully master its use."

"The Salvation Church will remember Jinxia's help." She suddenly felt that the man in front of her was much more pleasing to the eye-although he was young, he was more reasonable and far-sighted than most people in power. "By the way, besides that, I have a personal request."

"Please go ahead."

"I had a great chat with Miss Li, and I feel like we met too late." Li Mengyun took a deep breath and said, "Since you are also planning to go to Baiyao Mountain, can you let her continue to accompany me during this period?"

...

The first meeting with the Salvation Church can be said to be smoother than Xia Fan expected.

He originally thought that such an organization that had been hiding for decades and only came out to stir up trouble when the world was in chaos would often have a kind of paranoia and arrogance that was difficult to correct, but after talking with Venerable Shengtian, he found that the other party was quite pragmatic and did not have the kind of alienated feeling of being out of touch with the world. The plan he made was also quite precise, which is exactly the basic quality of a mature political system.

Rather than saying that the other party is a sect, it is more like an "exiled regime" that survived from the Yong Dynasty.

Since the other party is far from the Black Gate Church that is rumored to be evil, the idea of ​​snatching all the people attracted by the other party and returning them to Jinxia was temporarily shelved. After all, Xia Fan was not sure whether he could only rely on the escape tower to escape the disaster. If they had to flee to Baiyao Mountain for refuge in the end, the situation would be embarrassing.

Now the Jinxia Army is annexing Ganzhou Fortress in a crushing manner. When he finds out the details of the escape tower and the Kingdom of Heaven, Ganzhou will probably be completely under the rule of Jinxia. Once the two states are connected, it will be an easy decision for Jinxia whether to choose the predicted escape plan or to confront the evil disaster head-on.

Not far from the hall, Xia Fan suddenly saw a white figure in the courtyard.

He immediately walked over.

"You've worked hard all the way."

Luo turned around gently, revealing a faint and elegant smile, "Just take a walk?"

"Yeah." Xia Fan nodded.

The two walked through the courtyard and came to the top of the villa - from here you can overlook most of Jinxia City and the sparkling sea to the east.

"I wanted to prepare a gift for you, but I didn't expect to return empty-handed." Luo Qingqing briefly recounted what he saw and heard in Youzhou and what happened to the Luo family. "The farther I get from Shenzhou, the more I feel that war and disaster are not far away from the world. Even if the court falls and the Privy Council is disbanded, there will be others to fill the gap in power, and their methods will be a hundred times more brutal than the former."

"Because the rogue bandits and defeated soldiers don't need to consider the issue of future governance, they naturally don't have to worry so much when taking action." Xia Fan turned his head and looked at the other party - compared to a few months ago, Luo Qingqing's appearance was not much different. There have been many changes, she is still wearing a plain white robe, with a gray cloth eye mask on her face; her long black hair has been dragged to her waist, and the ends of her hair are slightly rough. It is obvious that she has not taken care of it along the way, but this still does not affect her elegance. The temperament of the world.

However, she has undergone some changes. Compared with the strong feeling of being a hermit when they met again, she is no longer so aloof at this moment, as if she can reach out and touch him.

She has truly gone from being a disciple of an aristocratic family where stars admire the moon, to entering the chaotic and ever-changing world.

"Indeed." Luo Qingqing admitted, "For many people, life has not gotten better because of the disintegration of the Privy Council, but has actually become worse. Otherwise, the Salvation Cult would not have been able to win over more than ten people so smoothly. Thousands of people.”

"Will you regret your original decision?" Xia Fan was suddenly curious.

"How is that possible?" Luo turned his head slightly and said without hesitation, "The original order is just a prison. Although some people will be confused after it is broken, a better order will also gain space for rebirth. I think What I can tell you is that choosing Jinxia City is the most correct choice I have ever made.”

She paused, and a natural smile appeared on her face, "In fact, I have only been away for a few months, and I already feel like I miss home here."

"Really?" Xia Fan couldn't help grinning, winking at her and saying, "Welcome home."

"Well, I'm back."

My health has not been very good recently, so updates are relatively unstable. I try to update twice as much as possible. If it gets stuck, there will only be one chapter, which will usually be released at six o'clock. I would like to say sorry to you guys here!
