Chapter 118 Invitation from Wan Yao Kingdom [5000,
Hearing his wife mention the dowry, Sun Kejian subconsciously thought of what would happen if his daughter followed Ning Chen.
He wanted to give Ning Chen all his savings over the years, but Sun Kejian's heart beat faster and blood rushed to his brain.
"If you want to take them with you, take them with you. Hurry up and get out of the city before the city gates are locked. Maybe you can catch up with your daughter and the others." Sun Kejian urged his wife.
"Yes, yes, yes. Get out of the city quickly."
"My daughter is a seventh-grade martial artist after all. If you, a Confucian scholar at the Yangzi realm, encounter a mountain bandit, you may not even be able to outrun me."
Sun Kejian was once again disliked by his wife.
In fact, Sun Kejian felt that his wife was conflicted enough.
While he despises his daughter for practicing martial arts, he also feels that having a martial artist like his daughter at home makes him feel more secure.
What a scoundrel? He doesn't even dare to come to his own door.
Even if you go out to buy groceries, you don't have to worry about being ripped off by unscrupulous vendors.
Confucian scholars disdain to be on the same level as these small businessmen and hawkers, and feel that they are lowering their status in this way.
But warriors don't have such scruples. If you dare to bully my mother, I'll let you see if the fists of female warriors are as hard as those of male warriors.
It was amid such contradictions that Mrs. Sun kept criticizing Sun Kejian.
In order to save money, the couple crowded into a carriage.
The front half is loaded with goods, and the couple is crowded in the back.
The two maids did not want to leave Fengjing, so they were sent away directly.
The driver was hired temporarily, and it was agreed that if he caught up with Sun Feilan, he could come back.
In order to catch up with her daughter, Mrs. Sun spent a lot of money and bought two horses to pull the cart.
"Whatever you dislike, isn't it all for your daughter?"
"Besides, you are no longer a censor now, so what else do you care about!"
Faced with his wife's persistent pursuit, Sun Kejian could only ask for mercy.
But even so, Mrs. Sun still refused to give up and took all her anger on her husband for having to leave her hometown.
Fortunately, they quickly caught up with their daughter Sun Feilan.
Because Sun Feilan was following the large army from Baijia College, his speed was really not very fast.
When Sun Feilan saw her parents chasing after her, she thought they were here to persuade her to go home again.
But when she heard that her father had retired and wanted to go north with him, Sun Feilan was still moved.
Since there is no way back, everyone can only continue heading north.
On the way, Mrs. Sun heard a lot of descriptions about Baijiacheng.
However, Mrs. Sun scoffed at these descriptions and did not believe them at all.
"They were deceived by Ning Chen at first sight. The northern border is so desolate, how could there be such a good city.
When they arrived at Baijia City, they realized how unprepared they were.
By then they should be envious of us."
While Mrs. Sun was talking complacently, she also imparted her valuable life experience to Sun Feilan.
At the same time, she also told Sun Feilan that when she goes to her husband's house in the future, she must behave more gently and be more knowledgeable and sensible.
Sun Kejian listened on the sidelines, and the more he listened, the more frightened he became.
The atmosphere inside this carriage made Sun Kejian feel like an old father sending his daughter off for marriage.
Although Sun Kejian tried to resist his wife, he was eventually suppressed.
I can only listen to my wife telling my daughter how to be a good wife and mother.
While Sun Kejian and his large army were trekking a long way to Baijiacheng.
Ning Chen was not idle either.
The materials for setting up the teleportation array were circulated around when Yun Xuanzi went to the Hu Clan and Yu Yuan, the big clans that were attacking Baijia City.
In addition, the tokens of alliance that Ning Chen wanted were miraculously gathered together.
After all the materials were gathered, Sun Kejian was even more excited than Ning Chen.
The teleportation array is a truly legendary super array.
To be able to set up such a grand formation passed down from generation to generation is a lifetime honor for Yun Xuanzi.
In the long history of the human race, there were only one hundred and nine teleportation arrays.
Not to mention those from the Three Sovereigns, Five Emperors and Confucian Sage eras, the teleportation arrays built later were not of the first grade.
Yun Xuanzi's third rank could have such an opportunity, which was enough for Sun Kejian to leave his name in history.
"This is the Taoist master's material. We have no chance of failure. If you feel pressured, we can wait if we can't. Or if you want to join forces with the Taoist leader of the Changsheng Taoist Sect, we can't accept it." Ning
Chen reminded the excited Yun Xuanzi.
When Yun Xuanzi heard that Ning Chen asked him to join forces with the Changsheng Dao Sect, he immediately patted his chest and expressed his stance: "Don't worry, I've long been familiar with this formation diagram.
The real difficulty of the teleportation array does not lie in the cultivation level of the person setting up the array.
Rather, it lies in the array diagram and materials, these two are the most critical.
As long as there are formation diagrams and materials, even if it is a fifth-grade one, it can be arranged."
"If you say so, Taoist Master, then I will leave all the arrangements for the teleportation array to you." Ning Chen said to Yun Xuanzi with a smile.
"Leave it to me, just don't worry." Yun Xuanzi said confidently.
Ning Chen just mentioned Changsheng Dao Sect deliberately just to stimulate Yun Xuanzi.
Let this veteran use all he has learned throughout his life to set up the formation.
But Ning Chen is right about one thing.
This is really the only material for the teleportation array.
It should be impossible to get them all together in the future.
The teleportation array is placed among the hundreds of colleges. This is done for safety reasons.
After leaving Yun Xuanzi's side, Ning Chen went to the City Lord's Mansion again.
Since the end of the war, Guo Xin has been busy in the City Lord's Mansion.
Ning Chen remembered that he had never changed out of the court uniform he was wearing.
After the war, there were really too many things going on.
The pure storage and distribution of captured materials, the payment of post-war pensions, the statistics of post-war military achievements...
A series of major events have to be handled by Guo Xin alone.
Although he didn't have to do it himself, Guo Xin had to see everything in person before he could rest assured.
The harvest this time is really huge, so even if there is a little leakage, it may actually be a huge fortune.
After looking around, I found that I couldn't help much.
Ning Chen turned around and went home.
Ning Chen also knew that if he was in the City Lord's Mansion, the people in the City Lord's Mansion would also feel uncomfortable.
So it's better to just let them work hard.
As soon as she got home, Ning Chen met Hu's mother.
Looking at Hu Qing, who was still charming, Ning Chen stepped forward without ceremony and hugged Hu's mother's waist.
The two of them had already communicated in depth, so there was no need to be so coy.
"What kind of wind brought you here?" Ning Chen moved his big hands dishonestly.
Hu Qing gently patted Ning Chen's palm off and said, "Master Marquis, let's talk about business first. The slave family can't escape."
If he hadn't hit the nail on the head at the beginning, with Hu Qing's performance, it would be hard for Ning Chen to believe that Hu Qing still had first blood.
"Mother Hu, who do you represent this time? On behalf of my brother Wu Ang, or on behalf of Qingqiu?" Ning Chen said jokingly.
"The Marquis is used to making fun of the Nu family. The Marquis already knows the answer, but he still makes fun of the Nu family." Hu Qing said with gleaming eyes.
After another round of flirting, the two began to talk about serious matters.
"Master Marquis, Your Majesty would like to invite you to Qingqiu Country to meet you."
After hearing Hu Qing's serious talk, Ning Chen frowned: "Wouldn't it be more convenient for him to come over?"
"Master Marquis, it's about demons. Your Majesty still hopes to meet in the demon clan." Hu Qing said seriously.
After a pause, Hu Qing added: "Master Hou, you can rest assured about safety. Master Hou can take anyone there."
Ning Chen took over the conversation and said, "But no matter who I take, won't I still be on the territory of the demon clan?"
Hu Qing continued, "In addition to the Marquis, the King also invited Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing, and they will also go to Qingqiu."
After hearing Hu Qing's words, Ning Chen was slightly surprised.
The two of them were able to go to Qingqiu Country at the same time, which shows that the demon's affairs are far more troublesome than those in Ten Thousand Demons Country.
"Didn't you invite the imperial court directly?" Ning Chenfu asked again.
Hu Qing knew what Ning Chen meant and said: "Prince Jing and Marquis Dingguo are the kings who were invited by the imperial court. As for the Marquis, it was simply Qingqiu who invited them without authorization."
"Why?" Ning Chen didn't understand.
"Because Wu Zhao rejected our request to invite the Marquis, but the king feels this matter, so if we invite the Marquis to go there, we can get some unexpected gains." Hu Qing said truthfully.
Wu Zhao could agree with King Jing and Marquis Dingguo to go, so why couldn't he do it with him?
Could it be that he was worried that he would be in danger if he went to Qingqiu, or was he worried that he would be fascinated by the fox girl, so he left the Wu Dynasty and fell into the embrace of the fox girl.
Hu Qing did not rush Ning Chen, but waited for Ning Chen to make his own decision.
After thinking for a while, Ning Chen asked: "When will we go?"
Hu Qing said: "If Lord Marquis agrees, we can set off immediately."
"When will Prince Jing and Marquis Dingguo arrive?" Ning Chen did not answer Hu Qing's question immediately, but asked a more basic question first.
"I don't know about this either. If the Marquis wants to know, he can directly ask Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing." Hu Qing replied.
"Then please wait for me. I'll ask Marquis Dingguo first to see when Marquis Dingguo will set off. We will set off then." Ning Chen did not dare to relax at all when it came to safety.
Of course, the safest way is definitely not to go.
But if you don't go, you will only be safe for a while.
When the real demon comes and kills them, Baijiacheng and Ning Chen may suffer a big loss because of their lack of understanding of the demon.
This is why Ning Chen insisted on going there by himself.
If it were relayed by big figures like Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing, it would be inevitable that some key points would be missed.
So it’s more appropriate to see it with your own eyes.
As for the issue of safety, since Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing have gone, Ning Chen's safety is definitely no problem.
What's more, Ning Chen himself is not without the ability to fight now, plus Mu Die.
After leaving the room, Ning Chen went directly to find Mu Die.
When Ning Chen found Mu Die, Mu Die was happily counting the banknotes.
Ning Chen didn't know where Mu Die scraped the banknotes from.
This kind of little Qian Ningchen doesn't even bother to break up with his junior sister.
And although Mu Die likes money, there is still a bottom line in doing things.
Mu Die still wouldn't do such a thing as searching for people's wealth and money.
Seeing Ning Chen come in, Mu Die quickly hid the banknote.
"Why didn't you knock on the door first when you came in?" Mu Die looked guilty, but asked confidently.
"You didn't close the door." Ning Chen said to Mu Die.
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Mu Die said with an annoyed look on his face: "I must be so happy that I forgot to close the door."
"Please help me contact the Marquis and ask him when he will go to Qingqiu Country." Ning Chen said to Mu Die straight to the point.
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Mu Die was stunned for a moment and said, "Is the Marquis leaving the Great Wall of Righteousness? Why didn't I know?"
"Wouldn't you know it if you just asked?" Ning Chen didn't have time to explain these issues to Mu Die right now.
Mu Die thought it was right, so he immediately contacted Marquis Dingguo.
After the communication was connected, Mu Die also asked Marquis Dingguo: "Master Marquis, Ning Chen said you want to leave the Great Wall of Righteousness and go to Qingqiu Demon Country."
Marquis Dingguo directly passed Mu Die and spoke to Ning Chen: "Qingqiu sent people to find you."
Ning Chen did not hide anything and told Marquis Dingguo truthfully: "Yes, Qingqiu sent someone to find me.
They said they originally wanted to invite me through His Majesty.
But His Majesty did not agree, so they came over and invited me directly."
"Are you planning to go?" Marquis Dingguo asked Ning Chen.
Ning Chen nodded and said: "I want to go there, after all, Baijia City is in the north.
It would be best if we could learn more about the demons.
It's just that I'm also worried about my own safety, so I want to see when you will leave, Mr. Hou.
I might as well take advantage of your reputation, Lord Marquis."
Marquis Dingguo smiled and said: "I can leave at any time, but I will only go to a clone.
It should be the same with Prince Jing, only one clone will be removed."
When Marquis Dingguo said this, Ning Chen understood why Wu Zhao refused Qingqiu's invitation to him.
Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing went there as clones.
Ning Chen doesn't have any clones.
Although Yun Xuanzi has a clone technique, this clone technique has requirements for distance.
Once a certain distance is exceeded, the clone technique is useless.
King Jing and Marquis Dingguo are different. These two are really clones based on their strength.
Just like the main body, it is not limited by distance at all.
"The two of us will just have one clone, so you don't have to worry too much about your own safety.
Both of our clones can exert the same strength as our original bodies.
It’s just that the time will be shorter.
But if there is really any danger, it will be enough to help you return to the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom and Baijia City immediately."
Ning Chen understood the meaning of Marquis Dingguo's words.
"Does the Marquis want me to go?" Ning Chen asked tentatively.
Marquis Dingguo said: "Of course I hope you can go.
I think the reason why King Qingqiu invited you is to see if he can see through your perspective.
Find a problem that can solve the demon once and for all.
After all, if Prince Jing and I were invited to go there, it would be difficult to gain any new perspective after we go there.
But you are different, your Baijiadao has too many possibilities."
After a pause, Marquis Dingguo continued: "Prince Jing probably meant the same thing, but Wu Zhao doesn't want you to take risks, so the two of us can only respect Wu Zhao's wishes."
Within the scope of the Wu Dynasty, even if Wu Zhao became the emperor, one could still know Wu Zhao's name. There should be no five people in the entire Wu Dynasty.
But the title of Marquis Dingguo is very natural, and at the same time, the decision made by Wu Zhao can also be evaluated very naturally.
There is no need to worry about the so-called charges of disobedience.
"If you decide to go, I can help you contact Prince Jing and ask Prince Jing to come with me to Baijia City to meet you first, and then we will go to Qingqiu Demon Kingdom together." Marquis Dingguo suggested.
After Ning Chen heard the proposal from Marquis Dingguo, he was very embarrassed and said: "Master Marquis, this is not good. You two are seniors, so you have to go through this. This is really disrespectful. I can't afford it.
"
Marquis Dingguo saw that although Ning Chen said he was embarrassed, he actually looked very hopeful, so he smiled and said: "There is nothing against etiquette. You are also a Marquis now.
When it comes to titles, you and I are exactly the same.
In addition, your Baijia City is building a teleportation array, which may be the last teleportation array in human history.
It would be a pity not to go and see it.”
Ning Chen knew that Marquis Dingguo was looking for a reason for himself to invite Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing.
With such a ready-made reason, of course Ning Chen would use it.
Ning Chen immediately said: "It is a great honor for me to invite Lord Marquis and Prince Jing to watch the ceremony."
After a pause, Ning Chen said: "But the teleportation array cannot be set up in one go.
Will we take too long?"
Marquis Dingguo said with a smile: "When it comes to demons, the ones who should worry the most are their demon clan.
Now they are asking for help from us, there is no need for us to be so proactive.
Let them worry and worry themselves first.
Only if they are anxious will the next conditions be easier to negotiate."
Compared with Marquis Dingguo, Ning Chen is indeed a little too young.
Since Marquis Dingguo thinks there is no problem, then there will be no problem here with Ning Chen.
"Master Marquis, Prince Jing, please help me invite him." Ning Chen handed over his hand to Marquis Dingguo and begged him.
"Okay, I will let Prince Jing know when the teleportation array will be completed." Marquis Dingguo asked Ning Chen.
"Taoist Master Yun Xuanzi's side will take about a month to build. But debugging is estimated to take two months. After debugging is completed, it is estimated that the stability needs to be verified.
I estimate that it will take four months to complete all of this."
Marquis Dingguo looked at Ning Chen and laughed directly: "A boy can be taught."
Anyway, it is the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom that is anxious, so Ning Chen can delay it as long as he can.
As for Qingqiu, Ning Chen only had in-depth communication with Hu Qing and had no friendship with the King of Qingqiu.
At the same time, I just took this opportunity to attack the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, and achieved multiple things with one stone.
