In the Xuetai Empire, only members of the royal family can receive such treatment. People with different surnames can only get the highest title of hereditary duke in the Xuetai Empire.
The treatment of dukes and princes is very different. For a fief of the same size, the duke can only enjoy the tax income from that land. But the prince who splits the land and divides the land can control the life and death of all the people on that land.
Develop your own unique local regulations without violating imperial laws.
Even the prince can recruit private soldiers in his own territory. As long as you can afford them, the empire will not care how many private soldiers you have!
Just like Xiong Wanjin's brother-in-law Ding Hai Wang, he has a private army of 300,000 people in Haicheng - Haicheng is prosperous and rich, one of the largest port cities in the Eastern Continent, and one of the most important commercial centers in the entire Eastern Continent.
, If King Dinghai was not timid and fearful, with the tax revenue Haicheng gave him every year, he could at least support millions of troops like Longcheng.
The fact that Yingzu was able to offer such conditions and promises to the king of the osmanthus tree showed how much he valued the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. Lin Qi and Hu Xinzhu looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree blankly, unable to say anything for a moment.
Speak up.
After coughing violently for a few times, Yingzui leaned down, wiped the blood coughed up from the corner of his mouth with a white handkerchief, and said coldly: "But the ugly talk is ahead, if Lin Qi you can't recognize its effect, it will be useless."
That’s all, you are still young, and with more experience in the future, you will be able to discover something sooner or later. My promise will be valid as long as you are alive."
"In other words, you can't identify the exact origin of this treasure now, and you can't activate its full functions. You don't need to be afraid of anything. You are a secret trader in the Western Continent, and you may deal with those weird alien races.
One day you will discover something!"
"However, you cannot leak any information related to it! As long as I hear any rumors, the Hu family will be finished!"
Lin Qi was stunned and looked at Hu Xinzhu with a malicious smile.
Hu Xinzhu looked at Ying Zhu with great grievance. Anyway, he was Ying Zhu's confidant, so he didn't need to pay too much attention to what he said. He shouted aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, what does this have to do with the minister? What if Lin Qi is drunk?
It’s nonsense, should I also be blamed on the little minister?”
Ying Zhu turned around, looked at Hu Xinzhu with squinted eyes, and said slowly: "This is natural! Sha Xinyue brought this boy into Shuangyang Chilong City. In the past two days, you, Hu Xinzhu, got involved with this boy.
Son, do you really think I don’t know about these things?”
"Since you two are friends, you, Hu Xinzhu, have to vouch for him. Anyway, if I hear any news that something is wrong, your Hu family will be in trouble!"
Lin Qi exchanged a speechless look with Hu Xinzhu. This method of winning was too lazy. First, he used the method of breaking the earth to seduce Lin Qi, making Lin Qi have to work hard for a goal all his life, and then he used it intentionally or unintentionally.
They roped in the Hu family to put pressure on Lin Qi, forcing Lin Qi to definitely pay attention to this matter in the future!
Sighing helplessly, Hu Xinzhu spread her hands: "In that case, I, I have nothing to say!"
Shaking his head, Hu Xinzhu took two steps back. He glanced at Lin Qi resentfully, and sneered sourly with undisguised jealousy: "Brother Lin, the opportunity to reach the sky in one step is right in front of you. Identify this
Baby, you are the feudal prince of my Blood Tai Empire. This status is not much different from that of the emperors of the Western Continent.
Hu Xinzhu's sour taste was just right. Ying Xian smiled and waved his hand to Hu Xinzhu: "Hu Qing doesn't need to do this. If Lin Qing can identify the origin of this rare treasure for me and activate its full power, I will naturally reward the Hu family.
.”
Taking a deep breath, Ying Zui turned around and looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree with sparse leaves and green air all over its body. He said in a low and powerful voice: "I know Xiao, this is a unique treasure in the world. With it, I will be able to
Avoid the 'Three Disasters and Nine Difficulties' in the Iron-Blooded Emperor's Technique, avoid the 'Iron-Blooded Death Pass' in the Iron-Blooded Emperor's Technique, and go straight to the legendary realm of the gods to achieve the immortal body of a god!"
Opening his hands, as if he wanted to hold the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in his arms, Ying Zhu laughed loudly and said: "Immortal and immortal, and forever on the throne, my Xue Tai Empire will surely sweep the world and turn the world around into a
The territory of my Blood Tai Empire!"
After screaming for a while, Yingxian suddenly leaned down and coughed violently. He panted for a while, shook his head, turned around and said coldly to Hu Xinzhu: "Hu Qing, follow me to the side hall. There are many things going on these days.
I want you to get it right one by one. Hey, the barbarian land believes in those evil gods and ghosts, and they dare to break into Shuangyang Red Dragon City to seek death. What do these people want to do?"
Hu Xinzhu bowed deeply, Ying Xian waved his sleeves, and led him into the side hall.
Eunuch Hai quietly walked to Lin Qi and murmured in a low voice: "Mr. Lin, this treasure is your majesty's heart now. Your knowledge is very good. If you can identify its origin and purpose, you will not be able to make the emperor a king.
It’s a joke.”
With a sad smile, Mr. Hai bowed his hands to Lin Qi: "Maybe next time I see Mr. Lin, I will call you Prince!"
Lin Qi acted like a person who grew up in the Western Continent. He grinned heartily and laughed heartily. He squeezed Grandpa Hai's shoulder hard and laughed loudly: "That's easy to say."
, it’s easy to say, if Lin Qi really has such a day, he will never forget you, Mr. Hai Lao!"
Uncle Hai's face twitched, he glanced at Lin Qi's big hand on his shoulder, tilted his mouth, and walked slowly towards the side hall.
Lin Qi glanced at Eunuch Hai who walked into the side hall in surprise, and shook his head in confusion. Is such a treasure placed here, and no one is monitoring it? Maybe, they are very confident about the defense here? Maybe,
Are they very confident about the sweet-scented osmanthus tree itself?
After pondering for a moment, the faint responses from Hu Xinzhu and Ying Kun came from the side hall. Lin Qi nodded, took a few steps forward, and approached the osmanthus tree, carefully looking up and down the osmanthus tree.
Green air floated, and there was a faint trace of green light flowing in the blue trunk of the osmanthus tree that was like glass. When you got closer, you could vaguely smell a faint fragrance. Lin Qi carefully stretched out his hand and touched the green air.
A wisp of green energy slowly seeped into Lin Qi's body. Lin Qi felt a coolness and moistness all over his body. His energy suddenly lifted, and even his energy and blood seemed to flow much more smoothly.
This sweet-scented osmanthus tree really has incredible magical effects. No wonder Ying Kun is so interested in this sweet-scented osmanthus tree. He went to the school to take the exam himself. Lin Qi did not mention it. He also called Lin Qi here so anxiously to let him identify this strange sweet-scented osmanthus tree.
Tree.
Making a mortal circle around the osmanthus tree, Lin Qi recited incantations and cast dozens of identification magics popular in the Western continent on the osmanthus tree one by one. But no matter what kind of identification magic fell on the osmanthus tree, it was like
Lost in silence, there was no reaction at all.
Those magics can identify grains, metal ores, various rare crystals, various magic gems, various precious magic herbs, etc. By identifying the reaction of magic and the luster reflected by magic, various magics can be clearly identified.
Props and magic items.
However, these identification magics are completely ineffective on this sweet-scented osmanthus tree. Perhaps the only effect is to make the green air slightly denser.
After pondering for a while, Lin Qi couldn't help but smile. Hearing this, Ying Zui made a mistake in practicing and was seriously ill. He was about to die of a sudden illness. When the entire government was controlled by the second prince Ying Cai, Ying Xian suddenly and inexplicably
Recovered! Ying Zui, who had recovered his health, had some unknown conflicts with a group of courtiers led by Yingpeng, which directly led to Yingjun being imprisoned, Longcheng being demoted, and a group of courtiers being driven out of the court.
Hall.
From this point of view, this osmanthus tree is the reason for Yingzhi's sudden recovery. The seventh prince Yingqin was originally just an idle prince, the kind of character who had no sense of existence, but after Yingjun was imprisoned, Yingqin suddenly
He was canonized as the King of Yaoshan and received great favor from Ying Zui. If Lin Qi guessed correctly, Ying Qin got this osmanthus tree from somewhere and dedicated it to Ying Zui!
Ying Xian's life and death, no wonder Ying Zhu is so anxious and nervous.
Of course, this is also related to Lin Qi's forged identity. As a secret trader in the Western Continent, walking in the abyss world, dealing with foreign races, and selling all kinds of rare things, Lin Qi's knowledge must be extensive. So Ying Zhu took advantage of Lin Qi's
When Qi attended the Qionghua Banquet and entered the palace, he couldn't wait to take the exam for Lin Qi himself. After Lin Qi passed the test, he immediately summoned him here.
"It's indeed a good baby, but what on earth is this?"
Lin Qi reached out to grab the rhizome of an osmanthus tree floating in front of him, but before his fingers touched the osmanthus tree, a soft and cold force flicked his fingers away. Lin Qi's fingers flicked away.
Numb, his whole body suddenly took a big step back.
Not only that, Lin Qi felt that his entire right arm was empty. The fighting energy in the meridians and air pockets of his right arm had been completely sucked away, while the green energy on the osmanthus tree became much richer.
It seems that my fighting spirit can replenish the energy consumption of this sweet-scented osmanthus tree?
Lin Qi pondered for a while, then he stretched out his hand and firmly grasped the largest taproot of the osmanthus tree.
Lin Qi's whole body felt sore and numb, and his fighting spirit was quickly sucked away. Lin Qi couldn't help it, he took a deep breath, and the yellow earth energy under his feet continued to pour into his body, and quickly
It turned into white tiger fighting spirit and poured into the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.
An extremely subtle voice sounded directly in Lin Qi's mind through the taproot.
Lin Qi's body froze. The language used in this voice was extremely ancient.
It is so old that even the ancient books of the ancient divine war stage have no records, and it has only been handed down in fragments within the Black Tiger family." Lin Qi's family prayers were in this language, and Lin Qi could not understand the voice at all.
What are you talking about.
That family prayer has been recited all day long since I was three years old, and I dare not make a mistake in a single syllable.
Even Blackbeard couldn't figure out what it meant. It was said to contain a great secret, the family prayer!
That is the family prayer that Arthur racked his brains to get! (To be continued
