Defending the Nine Heavens

Chapter 600: Troubled Times

North Street Courtyard.

In the quiet courtyard, Fu Changkong is pouring the black rock tea that has just been brewed for several guests. This is the tea from the Southern Beast. Although it is relatively rare, it is a high-quality tea from the Blade Alliance. In comparison, this thing is extremely cheap, but only 20 or 30 rios, it belongs to the common people's favorite. This is still the retail price after getting the Blade Alliance. I heard that in the Southern Beast tribe, this thing is full of mountains. It grows naturally, and there are so many pieces. You can buy a large backpack for just one leo, so that the orcs don’t bother to pick it. With this effort and strength, it’s better to come to the human side to make a lot of money by pulling a rickshaw...

Several guests sitting next to the stone table are not inferior, the younger brother Fu Changsheng, the principal of Xifeng Temple Zhao Feiyuan, the principal of Mangaram Temple Ren Changquan, the Senator Depur of the Blade, the lord Mudak of Reykja City in Midwinter... these Although people are inferior to the status of high-ranking duchy such as the Lord, Speaker, Son, Eight Tribes and Dragon Moon, horizontally compared to the past, the leaders of some small duchy or independent city-states can at best only compete with each other. They just sit on an equal footing, and even on some special occasions, they are not as good as their status, and they are definitely the mainstay of the Blade Alliance.

The tea was slightly dark, which was very different from the clear and bottomless famous teas that everyone usually tasted. Fu Changkong took a cup, smiled and respected the Quartet: "Taste it, thirty euro tea, another two I’m afraid I’ll have to sell it for three thousand euros."

These were all well-informed people, knowing that Fu Changkong was using tea to talk about Wang Feng's support of the orcs, and his faces showed some uncomfortable expressions.

"As soon as the New Deal came out, the orcs had climbed the top this time, hey," Midwinter City Lord sneered: "Commercial center, education aid...is the group of southern barbarians matching? No distinction between humans and beasts, forcibly upholding the status of the orcs, I See if this new saint son can't do it long!"

"Thunder Dragon is also a person who doesn't care about things. I thought this old man was hiding his powers and bidding his time, but I didn't expect that he really delegated all the power to Wang Feng... As early as the time of the first teacher, it has been proved that the orcs are the mud that can't support the wall. , How much benefit did Wang Meng give to the orcs? But are they up? Wang Feng is just fooling around, a sucker, who knows politics!"

"Oh, this kid has a bright mind. Don't look at him now that he hasn't touched our profit cake very much. It is because he is afraid of causing an overreaction, but look, he helps the low-level untouchables need education resources and the orcs like slaves need status. …Isn't this for our foundation? This is to boil the frog in warm water!"

"Yes!" Fu Changsheng also frowned, "Brother, our group of people are like malignant tumors in the eyes of Xin Shengzi. They are his stumbling blocks. Sooner or later they are going to move us. I think it is better to start early to resist. Taking advantage of the prestige and cohesiveness of our older people, we will oppose it in the next parliament. Otherwise, if we wait for a few years, I am afraid that this parliament will not have the qualifications for us to speak."

"Yes, Mr. Fu, you are the deputy speaker of the Blade Council, and now only you can take the lead! Don't worry too much about the force. Even if Wang Feng reaches Longding, can he move directly because of opposition from the council? Can't kill with force? Then this Blade Alliance will disperse tomorrow, he doesn't have the guts!"

Fu Changkong smiled, just toasting tea without saying a word.

Zhao Feiyuan took a sip, feeling that although the tea has a bitter and sweet aftertaste, it is far from the real famous tea. After all, it is too rough and can't help but vomit: "This thing is sold for three thousand euros? It’s strange to go out."

"Everything is packaged... As long as Wang Feng, the idol of the whole people, says a sentence about remembering bitterness and thinking about sweetness, and a sentence about self-cultivation, it can make people eager to make the value of this tea a hundredfold. As for this tea It doesn’t matter if it’s good or not.” Fu Changkong put down his teacup, recalling the slight sweetness in his mouth, and said faintly: “You gave me a wink at the parliament today. I saw it, you guys. I have seen Wang Feng boiling the frog in warm water."

"Then you..."

"But I don't want to be Wang Feng's opponent." Fu Changkong smiled slightly and looked at these once-minded friends around him: "I advise you not to do it."

Several people around were suddenly dumb.

Who is Fu Changkong? Once in the Blade Alliance, he was considered the happiest under the Holy Lord, and he was also the best at using the blade and the rules of the temple, and the best at using the human heart. He was a person who must report to the Lord, even if he faced the Holy Lord. Really counseled, this can be seen from Ye Dun, he really has to follow the rules, Ye Dun did not dare to ignore the call of the son before the holy war, after all, Fu Changkong is the deputy chairman of the blade, occupying the advantage of his status, even if It is impossible for the Holy Lord to kill if a word is wrong.

But now, Fu Changkong knows that Wang Feng is digging the foundations of conservatives, and he knows that these people are likely to be liquidated by Wang Feng in the future, but he puts on such a reckless attitude, is this the first to surrender in his heart? Dignified Fu Changkong, the deputy chairman of the blade, and the leader of their old school, has actually been afraid of Wang Feng to such a point?

Before a few people spoke, Fu Changkong had already continued: "Think about the details of today's meeting. The alliance, the church, and the communication of all ethnic groups. In just one morning, Wang Feng has already arranged everything..."

The drum was sounded without a heavy hammer. Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and they immediately grasped the point of Fu Changkong's words. After thinking about it, a lot of sweat suddenly fell from his forehead.

The jihad ended yesterday afternoon. It was just one night. In the morning, two hours of analysis and speeches, filled with reports of 100,000 words, could be rushed out in one night? Obviously he was ready to accept all this long before he came to the holy city for the final battle.

But this is facing the holy city... facing the holy lord, one of the six dragons at the time, Wang Feng never thought he would fail? And before facing such a powerful enemy, he still had the mind to separate out these afterthoughts? Can he do it without going all out?

"I thought of it? Then I'll give you one more message." Fu Changkong smiled and said, "Yesterday, the Luo family was gone."

"The Luo family... is gone? What do you mean?"

"It means literally."

"Isn't it a fear of crime... ah?!"

Fu Changkong looked at the shocked faces of several of them, and said lightly: "Wang Feng's opponent has never been us, it is the Holy Lord, even Longkang... Only when we adapt to our new identity earlier will it help you to survive better. Go down, remember, I'm talking about survival!"

Several people were dumb, and the opponent was the Holy Master. Even the first family of the Blade Alliance was able to pull it out overnight, and no one knew it afterwards. So what did they count in front of Wang Feng?

"The former glory and general trend are long gone. Once the emperor and the courtier," Fu Changkong said faintly: "Fortunately, Wang Feng does not seem to be a bloodthirsty person, and his foundation in the Blade Alliance is still relatively small. Many relatives and friends followed him to carve up the world, and he did not intend to push everything back, so the things that are free are what we can grab and fight for."

Several of them are intelligent people, thinking and enlightening at this time.

"It's meaningless to bow down to please and flatter, think about how to comply with the New Deal of the Son, and think about how to do this New Deal well." Fu Changkong smiled slightly: "Just do it right now, as long as you can Walking in front of others, after all, the wealth of a lifetime is indispensable. As for the future, hehe... Then it is left to the future generations to face it."

Rose is the goal that the entire church must emulate. As the principal of Rose, Hawkland really enjoys a real "respect by all." The old Huo, who was once regarded as a nerd, is now also a benchmark for the principal of the exquisite face, remembering Wang Feng's 'Blowing' the word tactic, flicking all the church principals who came to learn the scriptures, of course, the real materials still have to be provided, Lao Huo Zai Rose is not completely indifferent, and all the experiences that should be experienced are experienced. However, although most of them were learned from Wang Feng, they were much better than the Thunder Dragon, who flicked with both hands and didn't care about anything.

Facing the principals of all parties, the old Huo Kan talked freely, enjoying everyone's compliments, and Hawkland felt that he had no regrets in this life.

The entire council of Blade's Edge was held in the Holy City for three full days. The follow-up was mainly to discuss various implementation details of the New Deal. When all the dust settles, the leaders of all parties will return together. The promotion of the New Deal may be in the next two or three months. The initial results have been achieved.

Before leaving, it is inevitable to visit Wang Feng. In the past few days, the carriages and horses outside the Saint Child's Mansion have been in an endless stream.

You can see what you want to see and what you don't want to see. When you become a saint child, when you become the leader of this blade alliance, there will naturally be many times when you can't help yourself.

Frankly speaking, Wang Feng feels a bit annoying... This kind of similar entertainment has probably only been in the past few days. Everyone thinks that power is something everyone loves and is pursuing, but Wang Feng is obviously not. Compared with power, What he prefers is a free life.

It's just that you can't get free right now. The trivial things like Blade's Edge are just small problems. The real big problem is the nine gods, it is Longkang... It is the nine-day chaos deduced by his beloved wife's life, and those are the issues that Wang Feng is really concerned about now.

Of course, in the countless annoying farewell entertainment in the last two days, several of them were treated sincerely by Wang Feng.

The Barrens of the Southern Beast was the farthest from here, and the Beast Race was the first to say goodbye to Wang Feng.

Most of the other people's farewells are just one or two main characters, but the Orcs are simply a drag on the family.

The four elders of the Southern Beast are all here, the Seventh Prince Aragorn, Hurricane Shaman, Urassaya and Bahan Erchacha who were familiar in Aurora City before, and the black hand Taikun, who is the backbone of the Luxing Chamber of Commerce. If the orcs want to build a commercial center in the royal city, such savvy and capable businessmen are absolutely indispensable. Of course, it is indispensable to be the half-orc Setis, who has now been recognized by the Southern Beast.

Frankly speaking, even if Wang Feng throws away his happy thoughts of equality, and says that the orcs treat himself, that is absolutely nothing to say. The direct and indirect help is endless, especially even the map of Shenlong Island is obtained by the orcs. But Wang Feng can have the biggest capital today.

They are all their own brothers, and naturally they are warm and entertaining. When Setis came in, he was somewhat restrained. Although he was a brave person, with Wang Feng's strength and status today, the two have long been insurmountable. The chasm occupies the identity of Wang Feng's eldest brother. How can he be the eldest brother of Longdian? It feels a little inappropriate, plus I want to enter Wang Feng's ghost-level advanced training class, but I don't know how to speak in the mood of gains and losses, which is really embarrassing.

Unexpectedly, when Wang Feng met, he would speak with Big Brother Setis. He smiled and talked about some of the scandals of the two people fighting wine on the sea-going boat. However, Setis quickly let go and talked and laughed about Wang Feng’s initiative. Ghost-level training class... Setis is not reconciled to being only a ghost-level, and now in Nine Heavens Continent, only Wang Feng, the ghost-level training class, dare to pat his chest and say that he can train dragon-level powerhouses. Wang Feng is here. Naturally, he agreed.

All-you-can-drink can be regarded as a practice for the southern beast. The guests and the host enjoyed themselves. Before leaving, the Great Elder Ursa mentioned the situation on the Nine Gods and said with a smile: "The northern beast has been going south frequently recently, and on the surface it seems to be buying you. Refining soul potions, but I always feel that they seem to have another plan."

There is something in the words of the great elder, Wang Feng asked: "What did the great elder find?"

"If you really want to buy potions, you can either go the Uganda route, or go directly to Aurora City, just a few people lightly." Elder Ulsa smiled slightly: "But the North Beasts have often come here recently. It was accompanied by a team of hundreds of people, and the composition of the staff was very mixed. The businessmen are not like businessmen, but they have many masters and various talents... It is not normal. I asked Setis to follow them for a while, but they were quickly removed. Up."

Saixis is also a master of ghosts, and he can follow a ‘bloated’ caravan with hundreds of people. It can only be said that the opponent’s team is indeed a lot of people.

Wang Feng knew that this was definitely not the end, and didn’t say a word. He just listened to Elder Ulsa and then said: “The Holy Lord is dead, and it’s obviously only a matter of time before the Nine Gods go south. The abnormality of the North Beast makes me think that this point of time may come. Soon, I was armed before I came. When I go back this time, Uganda, Frostwolf elders, Aragorn and Setis will be sent to defend Nanwu Canyon. The only places where the Barrens may be invaded are It's there, but the orcs don't have a dragon-level seat. If something happens, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist."

The Southern Beast is scared. The Nanwu Canyon connects the Nine Gods, and it is also the escape route when the Southern Beast escaped from the north. Although the canyon is narrow and easy to defend and difficult to attack, if there is an army led by a dragon-level powerhouse, then It's definitely unstoppable. Not to mention what the Blade Alliance will be like at that time, at least the Southern Beast will suffer a **** storm. This is because he wants to be an important person with Wang Feng.

When Wang Feng heard it, he understood what was going on. Frankly speaking, his subordinates do not lack the Dragon Rank, but they all have their own priorities, so he smiled and said, "Kela and Udi have gone to the ghost level of Shenlong Island to study. Ban, maybe they will be back next month. When they come back, I will let them go directly to Nanwu Valley to replace Aragon and Setis, and let them come to the training class later."

Great Elder Ursa was startled first, and then he was overjoyed. Now Wang Feng’s Shenlong Island Ghost Level Training Class has been hailed as the cradle of dragon level. The first batch of nine went in and came out of Rose Nine Dragons, Kela and Udi. I have already entered, is it far from the dragon level?

"They... have reached such a level!" Not only the Great Elder Ursa, but the other people accompanying him were also surprised and delighted. It is difficult for the beast race to produce a dragon rank. At present, the closest dragon rank among the southern beasts. In addition to the four great elders who have no room for improvement, there are only Setis and Aragorn, but according to the history of the orcs, it is difficult for the two to break through that last step, but Unexpectedly, the strongest orc hasn't broken through yet, but Kerala Udi, who has been practicing for a few years, has actually stepped into this threshold...

"Before that, I will let someone rush to Nanwu Canyon to take care of it. If you encounter an enemy, at least you can guarantee that there will be a dragon-level combat power."

Great Elder Ulsa fell to the ground with a rock in his heart and shook Wang Feng's hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness! Mr. Wang Feng has done so much for my Southern Beast tribe. Ulsa and the entire Southern Beast tribe will remember for generations. In the heart, never dare to forget!"

Sending away from the South Beast, Clara came just not long after sitting down.

Queen Alkina was startled by Wang Feng a few days ago, but she did not tear her skin apart. She still left Clara as the representative of the mermaid. She participated in the full meeting of the Blade Alliance for the next three days. It was Clara who opened the sea ban. Nodded, she couldn't decide this kind of thing by herself, after all, it was Queen Alkina's meaning.

Today, she came to say goodbye. There was a big mess in Aurora City that hadn't been dealt with, and King Alonso also had to hold the canonization ceremony of the eldest princess for her. It was impossible to stay in the holy city forever.

But Clara's mood is really complicated these days.

She is not very clear about the details of Her Majesty’s affairs. She only knows that her Majesty has looked for Wang Feng. She must have wanted to ask for the Heavenly Soul Orb to be snatched by Qian Jueqian, but obviously she did not get a clear result. After going back, , Her Majesty only gave Clara a few words and then returned to the Alonso City.

Although she didn't say much, Clara could see that Her Majesty's mood was very bad when she left, her face was gloomy, and she didn't get the soul beads the day she wanted to come.

How do you say this. On the one hand, it is the queen mother who raised her and promoted her, on the other hand, the confidante who understands her and taught her... These two people are making a lot of trouble, and Clara is like being caught in the middle of two stoves. It's really uncomfortable.

Seeing her come in with a straight face, Wang Feng just smiled.

After all, it is her mother's clan over there, so no matter what Clara chooses and attitude, Wang Feng can also understand that this is to put others aside, it is a matter of business, but after all, the two are in friendship, Wang Feng said with a smile: " Look at your black face, people who don’t know think I’m what’s wrong with you."

"..." Clara's face was still strained, but it couldn't be stretched for three seconds, and she broke her work with a chuckle: "I want you to do something to me, but you are guarding your Royal Highness, your princess now, and you have the guts ?"

"Look at what you said," Wang Feng was happy and said with a smile: "Come on again, the one in my house is magnificent, this kind of goodness of door-to-door delivery is definitely to prevent me from occupying it, and it will not affect the harmony of the husband and wife. How about you try?"

"Do you think I dare?" Clara raised her brows slightly: "Wang Feng, how did you offend my mother emperor? If you don't give me an explanation today, I will give you the right place for Fa-rectification, and then I I want to see that your majestic princess does not forgive you!"

"Tsk tusk, it's scary, why don't you guess first?"

"Because of the Sky Soul Orb?"

"If you know you still ask."

Wang Feng's tone was half joking and half serious, with a little reprimand, which made Clara boring.

She knows the details of Wang Feng. Counting the three given by Qian Jueqian, Wang Feng has at least seven or even eight Sky Soul Orbs in his hand. It is only one step away from the gathering of the nine legendary ones. How could it be possible? Because Alkina handed it over in a few words?

To be honest, I only blamed myself for not telling Alkina in advance, otherwise the relationship between the two sides would not be so stale.

It doesn't seem appropriate to speak for either side. She didn't mention it again, but adjusted her emotions.

"Although the mother emperor asked me to follow the general trend before leaving, I don’t have to confront the blade, but I understand the character of the mother emperor. The cooperation issues discussed in the council this time will be communicated to Alonso with a high probability. I've done a set." Clara paused, and said sincerely: "Give the mermaid some time, at least for my sake, everyone should maintain the surface calm first, and I will try to mediate from it, and more. Persuading the mother emperor, there is actually no fundamental conflict of interest between us."

Wang Feng smiled, noncommittal.

Clara sighed, and then said: "In fact, with the exception of these few people in our rose ghost class, most people do not understand your rise, and it is difficult to adapt and accept it. The mother emperor is nothing more than I can’t accept that this world is no longer her time...Don’t target mermaids because of this, even for the sake of our friendship, okay?"

Frankly speaking, as one of the six dragons in the world, Alkina was willing to visit a junior who had just come to the top in person. This is already full of importance to Alkina, so Wang Feng’s refusal will also make She became increasingly angry.

To put it bluntly, even if Wang Feng killed the Saint Child and even showed the strength to approach the Dragon Summit, in the eyes of the real Dragon Summit, you are only'close'. Your future may be very promising, even stronger than me. But at least for now, if you are still a junior or a weak person, then you should have an attitude of strong and weak and inferior, instead of using your future to challenge me.

So Alkina dared to come and ask for the Sky Soul Orbs. In her opinion, it was a completely reasonable and just thing. The only thing she was wrong was not knowing that Wang Feng had eight Sky Soul Orbs and that Wang Feng had enough peace. She confronted, even suppressed her strength.

It's not that Wang Feng doesn't understand this kind of psychology, it's just that he understands it, and it's another matter if he doesn't accommodate.

After Alkina left a few days ago, he made some back-up arrangements. Whether the mermaid turned his face directly or violated the yang and the yin, there has already been a countermeasure here. Covering hands can be rain. I didn't intend to tell Clara, but at this moment, seeing her sincere tone, he smiled and shook his head after all.

"I can only give you a maximum of two months." Wang Feng said lightly: "Before the end of the year, if the mermaid does anything, as long as I am not openly hostile to the alliance, I can open my eyes and close my eyes, but two months later... I demand that all government orders within the Blade Alliance must be kept unimpeded in the sea."

Clara could hear the resolute meaning in his tone. From the day he met Wang Feng, although this guy was full of mouthfuls and often chatted with her, it was all a joke. When Wang Feng was really serious and didn't play word games. At that time, it was absolutely nailed one by one.

Two months?

It seems a simple time limit, but it contains a lot of information. For example, two months later, it happens to be the annual Christmas of the Blade Alliance, and it is the day when the commercial centers of the major cities are currently planned to open and cut the ribbon. Even... it was the four-hundred-year anniversary military parade that the Nine Gods had already preached, and it was the one hundredth birthday of Emperor Longkang...

Careless people will think that this is probably just a coincidence, but Clara knows that it is definitely not. If you take into account the recent news that the Nine Gods will send troops to the south, the best time for the Nine Gods to dispatch troops should be estimated by all parties. At the beginning of next year, when spring blossoms, everything recovers, and the border is unblocked by heavy snow, it is the most suitable day for war.

Wang Feng said that the two-month deadline may be to complete the real internal unification of the Blade Alliance before that. If the mermaid dares to make troubles in this juncture and hinder the back of the Blade Alliance... In other words, this deadline is also It proves that the recent rumors are not groundless. Even Wang Feng believes that the nine gods will go south in a big way at the beginning of the year, and the nine-day battle has already begun.

Clara's expression gradually became serious, and it was extremely scary to think about this kind of thing.

"You must get inside before you fight outside." Wang Feng looked into Clara's eyes: "The future of the mermaid depends on how you face Alkina. A true king is not bound by feelings or power. From this point of view, Alkina has always been a true king, and you...are you?"

Clara was startled, her heart stunned slightly, and she confronted Queen Alkina? Become a true queen against Alkina's will?

She had never thought of this before, even though she had already believed in her heart that she would be the next mermaid queen, but it was only based on conforming to the thinking of Queen Alkina.

At this time, the look in Wang Feng's eyes seemed a little complicated, so as to provoke discord? Alarmism?

Not that much. She has been to Shenlong Island and spent several years with Wang Feng. She knows exactly how powerful this man's potential and cards are, and that is only what she knows.

"I've said everything that needs to be said, you go." Wang Feng said with a smile: "No matter which path you choose, remember, I'm still your friend."

Frankly speaking, telling Clara these things is not a good thing for the end result.

Clara may have listened to his words, it will make his arrangements for the mermaid easier to implement, of course, it is also possible to betray him, let the mermaid do everything to deal with his troubles within these two months, and make things change. It's complicated.

But so what?

In fact, it is far less complicated than others imagine. Whether it is the Dragon Peak or the mermaid clan, in Wang Feng’s eyes, it is no longer a big deal. Shouldn’t you deal with it? Dealing with it was just a matter of thought, he just gave his friend a chance to choose.

Clara’s expression is a bit complicated. Wang Feng’s last sentence is undoubtedly telling her that no matter where she goes, he can save her life and give her a chance to make a mistake... or to put it more simply, that is Wang Feng didn't care what a mermaid would choose and do at all. He was never a fool. Only when the mermaid family and Queen Alkina had little weight in his eyes could he be so calm and indifferent.

Frankly speaking, Clara feels that he has a high evaluation of Wang Feng, but still did not expect that he was already confident to the point that he still didn't know the other party enough after all, or that, after returning from Shenlong Island, Wang Feng's level has long been It was no longer what she could understand. His trump card was much bigger than she thought.

Thinking of the scene where Wang Feng was bargaining with her for tens of thousands of euros at the Jin Beibei auction house two or three years ago, he felt a little trance for a while, as if he had passed away.

Fortunately, she was still struggling with the contradiction between the mother emperor and Wang Feng, and even thought about how to pry Wang Feng away from Jixiangtian, but now it seems...Wang Feng’s thinking is no longer the same line as hers. Come on, maybe in Wang Feng's eyes, he is just a little girl who used to be a little affectionate and needs his care.

"I know what I should do... The mother emperor returned to Alonso not just because of the contradiction with you." Clara's expression became a lot more solemn, as if she felt the difficulty between herself and Wang Feng. Metaphorical distance: "The sea dragon has already taken action, and the sea ships of the nine gods are already gathering. The war is definitely inevitable, and it will only be ahead of the analysis by the group of people in the parliament. , I only heard the news today. The mother emperor doesn’t completely trust me now. It’s okay if it’s just the army going south, but if Longkang comes to... Longkang has been looking for the Sky Soul Orb to help him become a god. Fortunately, don't expose the news of the Sky Soul Orb prematurely. Be careful!

Wang Feng just smiled and didn't seem surprised by the information Clara revealed.

Bringing the worried Clara to the door, she just opened the door and saw Carita sitting quietly on the stone bench in the courtyard outside the door.

"I told the guards not to disturb you." Kalida smiled and stood up. She helped Wang Feng deal with many things these days. Although Thunder Dragon doesn't care, Kalida still takes care of this alliance. She is much more familiar with the church and the council than Wang Feng. Without her help, it would be a lot of trouble to deal with all the messy things in the council these days.

Clara nodded slightly at her and turned to leave on her own. Wang Feng asked, "Is there something going on in the parliament?"

Kalida said lightly: "Let's go in and talk."
