Chapter 147: Winning the Ten Thousand Demon Nation
After ending the call with Marquis Dingguo, Ning Chen glanced at Mu Die and said: "Be a little restrained, the days of making money are still to come. People should take a long-term view and never be blinded by petty profits."
"I know, I need you to remind me." Mu Die replied unconvinced.
Ning Chen didn't believe that Mu Die knew this truth.
Ning Chen reminded Mu Die because Ning Chen was confident that Mu Die would listen to what he said.
The reason is very simple, because he is richer than Mu Die.
The principle of submitting to the strong is valid in any field.
After coming out of Mu Die, Ning Chen also returned to the room.
When Hu Qing saw Ning Chen coming back, he immediately stood up and looked at Ning Chen expectantly.
Seeing the hope on Hu Qing's face, Ning Chen was convinced that regarding the matter of demons, the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom was indeed much more anxious than the Martial Dynasty.
Although it's a shame, the demon's first target must be the demon race, not the human race.
"I confirmed with Marquis Dingguo that this is indeed the case.
I can promise you to go to Qingqiu..."
Before Ning Chen could finish speaking, Hu Qing thanked him happily: "Thank you, Lord Marquis."
"I can promise you to go to Qingqiu, but I have to wait for Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing to go to Qingqiu together. This is also Marquis Dingguo's request."
Hu Qing said without thinking: "It would be best if Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing could go together with the Marquis."
Ning Chen waited for Hu Qing to finish and then continued: "But it will take four months."
"Four...four months!"
Hu Qing was stunned when he heard the time given by Ning Chen.
Except for Hu Qing's original arrival, it would only be delayed for a few days.
Why did Ning Chen go out for a trip, and when he came back, he immediately extended his time to four months later?
Has this been delayed for too long?
"Master Hou, why did it take so long?" Hu Qing asked with a frown.
Ning Chen had no intention of deceiving Hu Qing, and said frankly to Hu Qing: "Because we, Baijia City, are currently building a teleportation array.
You also know that this may be the last teleportation array of the human race or this world.
There is only one copy of all the materials, so no mistakes can be made.
So I have to keep an eye on it here.
Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing also attached great importance to the construction of the teleportation array.
The two of them wanted to come to Baijiacheng to take a look when the teleportation array was built.
In this way, we will wait for the teleportation array to be set up and then head to Qingqiu together."
The reason given by Ning Chen can be said to be extremely reasonable.
The last teleportation array of the human race is very important both in terms of meaning and in terms of the actual purpose of the teleportation array.
It is reasonable for Ning Chen to be careful.
As for Prince Jing and Marquis Dingguo, they want to come and see that the last teleportation array of the human race has been completed.
Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with it.
Although Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing have long passed the time of paying attention to false reputations.
But if the two of them insist on coming to see it, that's reasonable.
"Master Hou, isn't this time a little too long? The matter of demons really needs no delay." Hu Qing tentatively said to Ning Chen.
Ning Chen nodded and said, "I know what you're talking about, but you really came a step too late.
Taoist Master Yun Xuanzi has already begun to build it.
So at this time, I really can’t leave.”
Hu Qing continued to try to persuade Ning Chen: "Master Hou, actually you can go back and forth to Qingqiu for a few days.
Let Taoist Yun Xuanzi preside over it for a few days, and I think there won't be any problems."
Ning Chen shook it like a rattle and said: "I don't trust this. Yun Xuanzi is only a third-grade Taoist monk.
You must know that among those who built teleportation arrays in the past, the worst ones were all of the first grade.
I'm really worried about placing all such important things on Yun Xuanzi.
I'd better keep an eye on it here personally, it's safer."
After a pause, Ning Chen said to Hu Qing: "But you can also tell King Qingqiu that I will speed up the progress of laying out the formation as soon as possible while ensuring quality.
Try to build the formation as early as possible so that Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing can come to Baijia City earlier.
Then the three of us can go to Qingqiu early."
Glancing at Hu Qing, who showed a little anxiety on his face, Ning Chen said to Hu Qing: "I believe that with the background of King Qingqiu and the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom, there will definitely be no problems in a few months.
Why don't you try asking King Qingqiu first? Maybe King Qingqiu thinks there won't be any problems after four months."
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Hu Qing pondered for a moment and said: "Master Marquis, please wait a moment. I will contact the king and see what the king has to say."
Ning Chen picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea: "Whatever you want, do you need me to go out?"
Hu Qingjiao smiled and said: "This is the Marquis's home. Even if you want to go out, you should go out to the slave family."
"Besides, if the Marquis personally explained this matter to the King, it would be easier for the King to believe it."
Ning Chen put down the teacup and nodded and said, "That's fine, it's been a long time since I last saw King Qingqiu."
Hu Qing contacted King Qingqiu in front of Ning Chen.
Hu Qing first briefly explained the current situation here to King Qingqiu.
Then Ning Chen and King Qingqiu began to communicate.
"It's only been a few days since we last met, but my senior's demeanor is even better than before!" Ning Chen said to King Qingqiu with a smile on his face.
King Qingqiu looked at Ning Chen and said with a half-smile, "Senior like me has long lost his charm.
You, the junior, are the most popular right now, and you defeated half of the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom by yourself.
What the Marquis Dingguo and Emperor Wu were unable to accomplish back then, you, the champion, accomplished all in less than a year.
When it comes to such charisma, there is no one else in the world today who can compare to the champion Hou Wanyi."
After King Qingqiu finished speaking, Ning Chen said: "I heard the meaning behind the senior's words, as if he was blaming the junior for being rude.
Junior, there is indeed a special situation here, and the teleportation array has indeed begun to be built.
If senior doesn't believe it, I can take him to the place where Taoist Master Yun Xuanzi has set up his formation later.
Then the seniors will be able to see clearly that the juniors did not deceive the seniors."
King Qingqiu said: "I don't doubt Marquis Dingguo on this point, but the four months of formation time is a bit too long.
I have no other advantages as an old guy, except that I live a little longer.
If this person has lived a long time, he will know a little more than others.
For example, in this teleportation array, the real difficulty lies in the array diagram and materials.
With Yun Xuanzi's ability, if he has the formation diagram and materials, it can be completed in two months at most."
After hearing what King Qingqiu said, Ning Chen showed a look of astonishment and said, "Senior, is this like this?"
King Qingqiu didn't say anything, just watching Ning Chen perform.
But Ning Chen didn't want to let King Qingqiu be his follower.
Although Ning Chen did not expect that King Qingqiu, an old fox, knew everything.
But Ning Chen didn't panic at all about this kind of thing.
Continue to start your own performance.
"I just said that Yun Xuanzi, an old Taoist priest, was dishonest.
He told me that because of his low strength, it would take at least three months to prepare.
It will take another month to debug.
I gave him enough money for four months before he started construction.
I didn’t expect that this old Taoist priest would actually lie to me.”
Prince Qingqiu said with a smile, "Then he just defrauded you of two months of money. He still has a conscience."
Ning Chen said sadly: "Has a conscience? What kind of conscience does he have?
I gave them all the orders for the shells.
As a result, he was still playing tricks on me. I must settle this account with him carefully.
When the time comes, I will also ask my seniors to come forward and testify on my behalf.
This old Taoist priest just bullied me because I didn't understand the formation, so he kept me in the dark.
But senior, you are different, you are a knowledgeable person, he will definitely not fool you."
"Okay, when you confront him, you can contact me." King Qingqiu decisively agreed to Ning Chen's request.
Ning Chen didn't expect that King Qingqiu would continue to take over the scene, and he choked for a moment. Ning Chen's emotions soon became silky smooth: "Then let's make an agreement. I will go find this old man Yun Xuanzi later."
The Taoist priest confronts me, and when the time comes, senior must make the decision for me."
"What this old Taoist priest from the province tells me every day is that these materials may be the last ones.
He must be careful, careful and careful with words like this.
I'm going to slap him in the face with the facts.
I was defrauded of all the money.”
Ning Chen said, acting very indignant.
King Qingqiu knew that he could no longer accompany Ning Chen in acting.
Ning Chen's acting skills are not only high, but also very durable.
Continue to act with Ning Chen for a year or two, and Ning Chen doesn't even feel impatient.
"What he said is not unreasonable. You really need to be careful with the last piece of information.
But it shouldn’t take as long as four months.
Two months of layout and half a month of debugging should be enough."
Ning Chen nodded and said, "I think it's enough. This way I can save a month and a half of money."
When the King of Qingqiu saw Ning Chen say this, he immediately followed up and said, "In this case, the Marquis should be able to come to Qingqiu in two and a half months, right?"
Ning Chen showed a troubled expression and said: "Senior, I have no problem going to Qingqiu in two and a half months.
But I informed Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing to come back to me in four months.
If I change the time temporarily now, Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing may think I did it on purpose.
Senior, you also know that I am not yet capable of fighting with Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing.
And I have to rely on them for protection.
So regarding this matter, I hope seniors can communicate with Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing for me.
Let Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing also know that I am also a victim and someone who was deceived."
King Qingqiu looked at Ning Chen's performance with all his expressions and emotions, and he really felt that he, the old fox, was about to be completely replaced by Ning Chen, the little fox.
"Okay, I will explain this matter to Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing for you."
Ning Chen immediately raised his eyebrows and cupped his hands to thank him: "Thank you, senior."
"Senior should contact Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing soon. I will not disturb my senior."
After saying this, Ning Chen ended the call with King Qingqiu.
After ending the call, Ning Chen found that Hu Qing was looking at Ning Chen with a smile.
"Mother Hu, do you think I've become more handsome again, or do you think my response just now was so calm and unhurried that I immediately attracted you." Ning Chen said jokingly to Hu Qing.
Hu Qing said aggrievedly: "Master Hou, everyone in the world says that our Fox clan is full of tricks, but compared with Master Hou, we still have no choice but to be inferior.
Just now, the slave family really thought that the Marquis was unable to leave because of the teleportation array.
When the Nu family introduced the situation just now, they really spoke for the Marquis.
In the end, the Marquis was deceiving the slave family."
Ning Chen brought Hu Qing over and said, "You seem to regard me as one of your own more and more now.
But what I said is not entirely false, after all, I was also deceived."
Hu Qing turned his head and said: "The Marquis is still deceiving the slave family. The king has said that the teleportation array does not take that long at all. The slave family does not believe that the Marquis will be deceived by an old Taoist priest?"
After listening to Hu Qing's words, Ning Chen said: "I don't understand formations, I just follow what others say.
And you see, didn’t your king also say that it will take at least two and a half months to complete.
So there is nothing I can do about it, although the time Yun Xuanzi said is mixed with a little bit of water.
But it’s not too much.”
Hu Qing glanced at Ning Chen's dishonest hands and said, "Master Hou wants to see whether I have more water or the old Taoist priest has more water?"
Ning Chen patted Hu Qing's Yuetun and said, "Why are you mentioning him at this time? It's ruining the scenery."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Qing's clothes fell to the floor.
Hu Qing was very proactive in this battle. She obviously wanted to punish Ning Chen for her strength in the card game.
However, the cards in Ning Chen's hand are obviously much bigger than those of Hu Qing.
Ning Chen, who was in Wang Zha's hand, quickly beat Hu Qing to a pulp, and was directly pinned to the card table by Ning Chen, who was unable to fight back.
While playing cards, Hu Qing also received a summons from the King of Qingqiu.
Only this time there is no picture and only sound can be transmitted.
Because Hu Qing had no power to fight back, Ning Chen spent most of the time answering King Qingqiu's questions.
Hu Qing could only answer questions with "hmm" occasionally.
When the card game ended, Hu Qing originally wanted to rely on a final comeback to make Ning Chen lose everything.
But Ning Chen's family background is so rich, losing a little is just a drop in the bucket for Ning Chen.
Hu Qing could only give up hope of a final comeback.
Hu Qing stayed at Ning Chen's place that night. Hu Qing finally got up at noon the next day, dressed up, and left Baijia City.
At the same time, she agreed with Ning Chen that she would come to Baijiacheng again in two months. As the special envoy of King Qingqiu, she would take Ning Chen, Marquis Dingguo and King Jing to the Qingqiu Kingdom.
Of course Ning Chen welcomes Hu Qing to come.
After all, it is not easy to find poker partners who can play for a long time.
