Just when Ning Chen lamented that Marquis Dingguo had the confidence to ignore the rules and engage in corruption at will.
Prince Jing also said from the side: "I can also send someone to protect you, and the cost will be the same as his."
After hearing what Prince Jing said, Ning Chen looked at Prince Jing in surprise.
Ning Chenxin said: Prince Jing, how can you, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, do such a bottomless thing?
Besides, you, Prince Jing, are the gatekeepers of the dynasty. Are you so blatant because you think the Wu Dynasty's national fortunes have been prosperous for too long?
Ning Chen soon realized something.
His eyes wandered back and forth between the two big men.
If Marquis Dingguo is greedy, Ning Chen can understand.
After all, Marquis Dingguo is not named Wu, so he can be forgiven for being greedy for himself.
But Marquis Dingguo will be short of money, so this is simply impossible.
As for Prince Jing’s greed, this makes no sense at all.
Prince Jing now even wants to replace him and become the emperor of Wu Dynasty.
That's all a piece of cake.
By then the entire Wu Dynasty will belong to Marquis Dingguo, and he will need to be greedy for money.
So there must be something that Ning Chen doesn't understand.
Ning Chen slumped backwards and said with a stern posture: "Two big guys, tell me directly, what exactly do you like in me?"
Marquis Dingguo glanced at Prince Jing and said, "You say it or should I say it?"
After saying this, Marquis Dingguo added: "After all, this is more closely related to your Wu family."
Prince Jing ignored Marquis Dingguo's teasing and said straight to the point: "We need your luck to help us open the Holy Gate and advance to the first rank."
If you put it this way, things make sense.
But why do you have to look at yourself for this matter?
When it comes to luck, Wu Zhao must have more.
I can have so much luck here.
Prince Jing continued to explain to Ning Chen: "When Wu Zhao helped you open the farm road that day, it took all the luck of the Wu Dynasty and successfully built the Jiuding.
Afterwards, you are equivalent to returning half of your luck and giving it to Wu Zhao.
If we borrow luck from Wu Zhao, it may affect the country.
If I borrow my luck from you, it won't affect the country's foundation."
This was the first time Ning Chen knew that when he was driving a farm road that day.
Wu Zhao actually overshadowed the entire national destiny at that time.
This shows Wu Zhao's courage, and at the same time, her trust in herself.
"Does that mean I have half the luck in the world now?" Ning Chen asked Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing.
Prince Jing replied: "Although we will also share some luck, the share is not much, so you have almost half of the luck."
Ning Chen blinked after hearing what Prince Jing said and said, "If I die, will the Wu Dynasty collapse?"
Prince Jing directly denied Ning Chen's speculation: "No. It will only cause some turmoil."
Marquis Dingguo interjected from the side and said: "What you are saying is that at least half of the luck you have in the Wu Dynasty with Liu Liuding is due to Ning Chen.
If Ning Chen hadn’t pacified the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom, if he died, your Wu Dynasty would have collapsed."
As expected, Marquis Dingguo is my confidant.
Marquis Dingguo struck while the iron was hot and said: "He speaks against his will, and it is not pleasant to cooperate with him. I think the two of us have better tempers."
"This king is only stating the facts and does not deny his contribution to our Wu Dynasty." Prince Jing said coldly from the side.
Seeing the two big guys at war with each other, they were ready to fight at any time.
Ning Chen was also worried that it would harm him, a fish in the pond, and quickly said from the side: "Does the Wu Dynasty now have the luck of the Six Cauldrons?
I remember that during Emperor Wu’s time, we only had the Five Cauldrons of Luck. Doesn’t that mean we are stronger now than during Emperor Wu’s time?”
Seeing Ning Chen change the topic, Marquis Dingguo also said: "In fact, during Emperor Wu's time, there were only four and a half tripods, which was still a little short of five tripods."
Ning Chen nodded with enlightenment: "Doesn't that mean that in terms of luck, we have reached the peak since the beginning of the dynasty."
"You can say that." Marquis Dingguo nodded slightly.
"Then if we work hard and work hard to reach Jiuding, wouldn't it be unprecedented and unprecedented?"
Marquis Dingguo shook his head and said: "This cannot be achieved through hard work. Six Cauldrons is already the highest peak we can reach at present.
Even if you have opened all your Hundreds of Paths now, it will be difficult to collect the last three cauldrons of luck."
Ning Chen asked in confusion: "Why is this?"
Marquis Dingguo said: "Because the fate of the last three tripods is not here in our Wu Dynasty, but in the barbarians and the Western Regions.
Only by destroying them, or if they are willing to surrender, can we gather Jiuding's destiny."
Ning Chen really doesn't know this.
"Don't talk about such far-reaching things. Let's talk about your luck first." Marquis Dingguo did not give Ning Chen any chance to ramble.
"Master Marquis, isn't it good to discuss such confidential matters on someone else's territory? Let's discuss this issue when we return to our own territory." Ning Chen looked around and said.
"Do you think anyone dares to pry here?" Marquis Dingguo asked Ning Chen.
You definitely wouldn’t dare to do this.
Not to mention that Ning Chen had already arranged a soundproof shield. Even if he hadn't arranged it, no one would dare to risk his life and come over to eavesdrop.
With two big bosses sitting in charge, I would rather die than dare to eavesdrop.
Seeing that there was no way to escape, Ning Chen simply opened up the conversation: "I can borrow luck, but I have to clarify three issues.
The first one: What can I gain? The second one: What harm does it do to me if I lend you my luck? The third one: After I lend you my luck, will I not be able to take it back?"
Prince Jing is obviously the kind of person who is ruthless and doesn't talk much, so the negotiation with Ning Chen must be left to Marquis Dingguo.
"You can get our protection, and at the same time, we can provide you with the things your hundreds of colleges need for free. In addition, we can provide you with the sacred objects you are collecting in large quantities."
"As for the disadvantages of borrowing our luck and whether you can take it back, these two issues belong to the same issue."
"If we don't die, there will be no harm to you. At the same time, after we advance to the first level, our luck will naturally return to you."
"If we die, you will definitely not be able to get your luck back. The downside is that you will always be unlucky."
After listening to what Marquis Dingguo said, Ning Chen pondered deeply and began to analyze the pros and cons of what Marquis Dingguo said.
Seeing that Ning Chen didn't speak for a long time, Marquis Dingguo said, "You don't think I'm lying to you, do you?"
Ning Chen shook his head and said calmly: "Master Hou definitely doesn't need to lie to me about this matter. I'm just weighing the pros and cons of this matter."
Ning Chen really didn't think Marquis Dingguo would lie to him about this kind of thing.
Because it's not necessary.
Although his combat power is comparable to that of a third-grade man, the gap between him and the two second-grade bosses is not that big.
Even if two big guys try to force a man into a trap at the same time, Ning Chen won't be able to do anything.
"How do you want to borrow my luck? If you each send someone here, even if you reach some kind of contract with me, can you share my luck?" Ning Chen said to Marquis Dingguo.
Marquis Dingguo shook his head and said, "You still need to pay us."
After hearing what Marquis Dingguo said, Ning Chen's face suddenly fell.
"Why do I feel like we are at a disadvantage? I'm obviously helping you, so why do I still give you money?"
"And how can something as noble as luck be linked to something as mundane as money?"
"I now seriously suspect that you two just want to cheat me out of money."
Luck is associated with money. Ning Chen thinks there is nothing more ridiculous than this.
Marquis Dingguo said: "The luck of the country can be condensed on the jade seal. But your luck is condensed on your massive wealth.
You can earn such a huge amount of money in such a short period of time, this is the effect of luck."
Ning Chen really wanted to say that the reason why I can earn so much money is because of my own intelligence.
But if you think about what Marquis Dingguo said, it is not unreasonable.
The wine shop, perfume, glass, Italian cannon, etc... can be said to be Ning Chen's intelligence.
But the wealth that was successfully robbed is really related to luck.
After all, if I were a little unlucky, I might be in trouble.
"But I still feel like I'm at a loss."
Although this is what happened, it does not prevent Ning Chen from feeling that he has suffered a loss.
Seeing Ning Chen's tangled and painful expression, Marquis Dingguo thought for a moment and said, "You have a newly established Baijia City. As seniors, we should give you some military help."
After hearing what Marquis Dingguo said, Ning Chen suddenly smiled and said: "The love and care shown by the seniors to the juniors is really touching. The juniors couldn't help but burst into tears."
Marquis Dingguo looked at the smile that couldn't be concealed on Ning Chen's face and said, "Aren't you going to cry with joy?"
"I'm moved, mainly because I'm moved." Ning Chen said with a haha.
Of course, Marquis Dingguo would not be as knowledgeable as Ning Chen on such trivial matters.
This kind of yellow and white vulgar things has long been no longer what Dingguo Hou wants to pursue.
The opinions of Marquis Dingguo naturally represent the wishes of Prince Jing.
Now that the money problem is solved, the next step is the choice of candidates.
It's not like Ning Chen has never seen the masters from Prince Jing's side.
Those are all masters in the military.
It is their advantage to obey orders in a disciplined manner.
But it doesn't make any sense at all, and it's true.
And the most important thing is that all the generals under King Jing are men.
This is what Ning Chen dislikes the most.
It's good to have your own Senior Sister Bai.
So Ning Chen refused, and King Jing sent someone to give him a chance to force someone to lock him up.
Of course, Ning Chen didn't refuse Prince Jing's help.
Although King Jing is not suitable to send experts to himself.
But there are many people under King Jing who are very capable in running the army.
Now that Fang Xiong has returned to Marquis Dingguo, Ning Chen is in great need of a general who can command his own city defense army and two military towns.
For these sergeants who were once commanded by Fang Xiong, if anyone is randomly sent over at this time, they may not be able to suppress them.
But if it was a general under King Jing, Ning Chen believed that they would be convinced.
After all, Prince Jing's cavalry is as famous as Marquis Dingguo's Red Flame Army.
After discussing with Prince Jing and Marquis Dingguo how they can help each other.
Ning Chen discussed with them again the cost of each incident and the amount of military expenditure they needed to support Ning Chen.
Finally, after friendly discussions, Ning Chen had to pay one million taels of silver each to Marquis Ding and Prince Jing.
Then Dingguohou and Jingwang needed to support Ning Chen with 1.2 million taels of military expenses each time.
This time in and out, Ning Chen made a net profit of four hundred thousand taels of silver without doing anything.
This is still very acceptable to Ning Chen.
Of course, this little money is just a drop of money to Prince Jing and Marquis Dingguo.
The two of them didn't care about the two hundred thousand taels at all.
After talking about the main business, Ning Chen also planned to talk about other things.
For example, how to use luck to break through to the first level.
Although Ning Chen is only in the fourth rank now, in the eyes of many people, it is meaningless to inquire about this now.
But Ning Chen has improved quickly. Now that he knows something, it is still very beneficial to Ning Chen.
It is still up to Marquis Dingguo to help Ning Chen explain this matter.
"How do you think luck is generated?" Marquis Dingguo did not answer Ning Chen's question, but asked Ning Chen a question first.
Ning Chen thought for a moment and said: "The people live and work in peace and contentment, the court produces masters and solves opponents. These are the sources of luck."
Ning Chen is still clear about the way luck is born.
After all, these things were all done by Ning Chen.
Marquis Dingguo nodded and said: "You are right, this is how luck is created.
Therefore, luck can also be understood as the power of all living beings."
The power of all beings.
This is really the first time Ning Chen has heard this concept.
But this concept is not that difficult to understand.
Luck is born among all living beings. It is not difficult to understand if it is called the power of all living beings.
After further expansion, Ning Chen will roughly understand what Marquis Dingguo wants to say.
Since the Holy Door is not so easy to push open, then gather the power of all sentient beings to help you speed up the Holy Door.
In this way, it can help you quickly enter the first level.
Marquis Dingguo nodded and agreed with Ning Chen's speculation.
"But does this count as cheating?"
"And will there be any disadvantages to such a first-class product?"
Ning Chen asked two questions in succession.
Marquis Dingguo explained to Ning Chen: "You are right, this is indeed a kind of cheating.
At the same time, such a product does have a drawback.
But this disadvantage is good for me as well as for him.
This cannot be considered a disadvantage.”
Looking at Marquis Dingguo's gaze, Ning Chen's mind was racing, and he soon thought of the answer to this question.
"The disadvantage of Lord Marquis is that your power comes from all living beings, so you need to protect the safety of all living beings at the same time. Will the number of living beings determine your strength?"
Marquis Dingguo nodded and said, "What you said is not entirely correct."
"We used the power of sentient beings to help break through, and we really need to protect sentient beings."
"But in fact, the number of sentient beings does not determine our strength. One level is one level."
"This does not make us stronger or weaker just because of the number of sentient beings."
Ning Chen asked: "So what impact will the number of sentient beings have?"
Marquis Dingguo said: "Shouyuan."
"The number of sentient beings will directly determine the longevity of the two of us."
"Theoretically, the lifespan of a first-grade person can reach at least ten thousand years."
"But if you use the power of sentient beings to achieve the first level, then the longevity will be determined by the sentient beings."
"The more sentient beings we have, the longer our lifespan will be."
"If the number of sentient beings is small, our life span will be short."
This impact is not insignificant.
Of course this depends on how you look at it.
If it is for people like Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing.
This impact is not big at all.
Their mission of existence is to protect all living beings.
So if sentient beings cease to exist, their long lifespan would be a punishment to them.
That's why Marquis Dingguo said that the price of such a breakthrough was not worth mentioning for him and Prince Jing.
"Does this have a specific proportional relationship?" Ning Chen asked in depth.
Marquis Dingguo said: "I don't know the specific proportion. I have only seen such records in ancient books.
Those who use the power of all living beings to advance to the first level will live forever.
If the number of sentient beings decreases to one, the lifespan will be reduced by half."
After hearing this ratio, Ning Chen felt that it was really unfair.
If the number of sentient beings is reduced by one-tenth, life span should also be reduced by one-tenth. It would be too unreasonable to directly reduce it by half.
"Then if the number of sentient beings increases, will life span be extended accordingly?" Ning Chen continued to ask.
Marquis Dingguo shook his head: "I don't know about this. After all, from ancient times to the present, no one has been able to significantly increase the number of sentient beings during the reign of the same dynasty."
"Because their dynasty didn't have me, they didn't have this experience. It just so happens that we can complete the history in this area." Ning Chen said unceremoniously.
Of course Ning Chen is qualified to say such things.
The agricultural road opened by Ning Chen is a holy road that can help the population grow.
With more food, more people can be fed, and the population will naturally grow.
In addition, there is no need to face the threat of the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom now.
Less wars are also conducive to population growth.
The combination of several aspects shows that the population of Wu Dynasty is about to usher in a period of explosive growth.
"When you reach the second level, you can also use this method to push open the holy door."
"Other than the limitation on lifespan, there is no other difference from the first grade."
"If you can successfully advance to the super level, this lifespan restriction will automatically disappear."
Ning Chen directly chose to refuse such an invitation from Marquis Dingguo.
"I feel that with my ability, I should be able to rely on my own strength to be promoted to the first level."
Marquis Dingguo knew that Ning Chen did not want to be restrained, let alone bound.
So when Ning Chen said this, Marquis Dingguo didn't refute anything.
After the two bosses discussed the deal with Ning Chen, Hu Qing also returned again and invited Ning Chen and the other three to the palace of Qingqiu Kingdom to attend the banquet of Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom.
This time, in addition to the three Marquis Dingguo, the Old Fox King invited some bigwigs and giants from the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom.
It is still a bit difficult to completely solve the problem of demons by relying only on Qingqiu Kingdom, Marquis Dingguo, and Prince Jing.
Only by sitting down and discussing together can we come up with the best solution.
After Ning Chen and the others entered the palace banquet, they were led by Hu Qing and took their seats on the left hand side closest to the old Fox King.
Regarding this arrangement, the big bosses and giants of the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom who came to attend the dinner had no objection at all.
Needless to say, Marquis Dingguo.
This is the ruthless man who beat the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom to such a degree that he had to bow his head.
Although Prince Jing has never defeated the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom, he is well-known and is a second-level powerhouse.
Ning Chen's qualifications are indeed the lowest, but he is also the person who has given the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom the most unforgettable memories.
What Ning Chen has done is something that even Marquis Dingguo has not done.
The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters respects the strong, whether they are strong in the human race or strong within themselves.
As long as they are strong, they respect them.
For a strong man like Ning Chen, they would naturally obey him.
Therefore, no one of these three people objected to sitting in that position.
Sitting on the right hand side of the old Fox King is the leader of the Houchen Demon Kingdom.
The Houshen Demon Kingdom is also one of the top clans among the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdoms.
Their ontology is an image.
The Thousand Demon Kingdom has gained a foothold among the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdoms with its wisdom and strength.
At the same time, this clan is not aggressive and has a good relationship with the human clan, so it still has a high status and reputation in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.
Sitting next to Ning Chen and the others were the divine apes.
The divine apes are few in number, but each one is extremely powerful.
It's just that they don't want to run the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, so the Divine Ape Clan doesn't have much territory, but no one dares to provoke them easily.
In addition, there are many powerful people from the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom that Ning Chen didn't know much about before, and now they are all present.
It is worth mentioning that Yu Yuan also sent people here.
I still know Ning Chen, one of the people sent here.
Princess Lizhu also has a woman who is very similar to Princess Lizhu.
Although Ning Chen had never seen her before, he could guess that this woman was the mother of Princess Lizhu and the wife of Prince Teng.
Judging from their current status, it is obvious that Yuyuan's side suffered a heavy blow.
In order to be able to read the "Book of Mountains and Seas" written by Ning Chen and also to be able to write something about my own ethnic group, I took the initiative to show goodwill to Ning Chen and let Princess Lizhu's mother's lineage rise to the top.
In this way, Yu Yuan could save his so-called face and at the same time actively show his kindness to Ning Chen and the human race.
It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
Seeing Ning Chen looking over, Princess Lizhu's mother also smiled and nodded.
Princess Lizhu looked at Ning Chen secretly, and at the same time expressed a little surprise about Ning Chen's arrival.
I think Princess Lizhu must have known that Ning Chen was not allowed to come.
After all, her father is Prince Teng, so it is easy to find out about such things.
"Your boy has a lot of peach blossom debts. You have to be careful about this." Marquis Dingguo said to Ning Chen half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"Master Hou, this is not a peach blossom debt, this is all about friendship, and I, Ning Chen, am a person who values friendship.
I will never be the kind of person who is unlucky, so I will never let down the friendship these girls have for me." Ning Chen responded to Marquis Dingguo's question with a serious face.
