It is estimated that Li Cong himself is not very clear to what extent Li Cong’s strength has reached. At this level, he can only understand his true combat effectiveness in life and death duels, but it is now like this. There are too few life and death duels. It is impossible for someone to face such battles directly and constantly. You may encounter one within a period of time, but it is impossible to encounter it for a long time, although the training of the Mage Union The field can arrange for you one by one enemy of this kind, but that is a training field after all, it is a pure simulation, it can not be how real..
Li Cong himself has a sense of his own strength. He feels that he can escape even when facing tenth-level fighters. It is possible to defeat them. Of course, that means encountering tenth-level fighters like King Lear. For the first-level fighters, if you encounter Prince Zheng, you may not have that great ability. After all, Prince Zheng is not comparable to a person like himself, whether it is skill or experience. For ten thousand years or even longer, the battle he has experienced from the beginning to the present is definitely more than all things Li has experienced from himself. From his birth to the present, Li has been at most a hundred years. Time, but people, people do not know how long their lifespan is, it is infinite, compared with other people, Li Cong is still a child.
Li Cong could feel that he was facing a threat here, which shows that the people here are more capable than Prince Zheng. Although Prince Zheng is better than Li Cong, he wants to defeat Li Cong.It is absolutely impossible to kill Li Cong. If Li Cong really explodes his five-claw golden dragon power, although he is not an adult, he can still keep a master like Prince Zheng in his own hands. Obviously, the people here are much higher than this level, so Li Cong himself did not enter. He didn't want to be in deep danger. Although calling his people in is a way of avoiding, but these people are some criminals. .They shouldn't be in this world either.You just make some contributions for yourself.
Li Cong also dispatched a lot of monsters, but the monsters in the mountain of monsters were not very prepared for the low temperature. Everyone started to have problems when they first came, and there were also their own monsters here.They are the native Warcraft here.These guys from outside are not welcome at all.Therefore, except for the beasts of the ninth level or above, Li Cong told them to go back. This was also impossible.After entering, he encountered an attack or even a siege from the monsters in the frozen forest. Li Cong could also understand that you are the monsters of the monster mountain range, why are you here? I guess this is the monster in the frozen forest. They don’t want to see other people come to their turf, so this happened.
The investigation was carried out step by step, until the fifteenth day, an expedition team was found. To be honest, they can no longer be regarded as a team, they can only be regarded as three seriously injured people. They arrived at Li from here. At that time, these people were still breathing. If Li Cong's team had not had a light magician, it is estimated that these guys might have died here. Li Cong had used a lot of spirit pills. They are just picking up their own lives.
In a reception room, Li Cong met the captain who led the team in.
When they entered, there were more than six hundred people. They said it was an expedition team, but they actually went in to hunt the monsters. The highest person in their team was also an eighth-level fighter, as long as they were 1,000 miles outside the frozen forest. There is no problem in the scope, but now all of their hundreds of people have been killed, and only a few of them are left. How did they escape?According to them, they practiced a very wicked technique, making themselves a dead person, but just like this, those people did not let them go. All the dead bodies were mutilated, and they were Li Cong’s people. They looked like this when they were found. If Li Cong's people hadn't arrived by chance, it is estimated that they would be covered by heavy snow, and these guys would have to die there.
"Who hurt you like this, is it a monster or a human?" Li Cong said, after all, if the monster in it is advanced and powerful, Li Cong can't forget the first time he saw a level nine monster. At that time, hundreds of thousands of people in a town were killed by that ninth-level monster, which was absolutely shocking.
"It's a person, definitely a person." This guy's sane is fairly good, and his spirit has recovered now. The other two people are basically useless, and the other two people can't say a word, it's just rubbish. I don’t see anything useful here, so Li Cong can only ask this person.
"I don't know who they are. They seem to appear suddenly. They definitely didn't enter from here like us. I can see that they don't smell of snow at all. They have muddy bodies. Taste, do you know? What a rare thing it is to see the dirt in the frozen forest. Many people want to see the dirt when they are dying. It is a very luxurious thing that we can’t see. , So I suspect they should be somewhere underground. There are not many of them, there are only a dozen people. I didn’t see them when I died in fashion, but I remember clearly that they all have a huge thunder symbol on their bodies. It’s on their clothes.” This guy said with certainty. Li Cong concluded that this guy shouldn’t lie. He didn’t know that he was looking for people from Thunder Gate, and there were a lot of them where he found them. For the corpse, his own people have already rushed to that place. Maybe they can quickly find the people at the Thunder Gate. Then it will be a big battle, but there are five tenth levels. With the World of Warcraft and dozens of Level 9 Monsters by Li Cong's side, he would never be afraid of any challenge. Such strength should be able to wipe out that lightning gate.
"Very well, you can go down and rest. My people will take good care of you, and they will send you home when your health is better. I hope you don’t say anything about today, just forget it forever. ..." Li Cong said with a smile. This person has already said in detail. The rest is to investigate slowly by himself. Basically, it is already certain that the Thunder Gate is in this place. You can't go wrong.
Five hours later, the people sent by Li Cong came back. They found 572 corpses in the local area. It was basically confirmed that they were the teammates of the guy who spoke to Li Cong just now.Nothing with news was found at the scene.Those of them should not be around the corpse, because there are many bones around the corpse. According to some experienced people, it is estimated that many of the bones may be hundreds of years ago.It's going to become a fossil now.These people could not have been killed recently.This is even more certain that there is actually a corpse hiding place in the Thunder Gate. These people stepped out and killed the people of this expedition in recent days, and they must have some traces left behind.Li immediately asked three thousand people to form a brigade to go to the place where they found these people and began to slowly search around.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Li Cong was already ready to take a rest. It can be said that he did a good job today. At least it is certain that they are here, and just around those people, Li Cong feels that he can sleep well. I feel it, although I don't know the specific location, it's always good.
Just when Li Cong was about to take a rest, there were rapid footsteps outside, and Li Cong's brows frowned immediately. It should have been an accident. It shouldn't be a good thing to listen to the footsteps of people outside. Is it true that the people inside? problem occurs?In fact, something happened to the people inside, which was roughly the same as Li Cong expected.
002 led the team into the search, but now standing in front of Li Cong is 007, what does this mean, 002 has something wrong, or 002 has already
"Why did you report, 002?" Although Li Cong thought about it in his heart, Li Cong still asked when it was not at the end.
"Master, something has happened. There is no news about the 3,000 people that 002 and him took. When I took the people over, I found that they were all dead around the mountain range. According to some things on the scene, I found that they were killed. They were killed, and there were not many people. They should be very powerful masters. I saw that the highest level eighth fighters in their team were killed by a single blow." 007 said, it is difficult for him to believe that there will be such a level. Master, but this is true. This makes Li Cong also feel a bit tricky. Damn, the eighth-level fighters can be killed with a single fucking knife. Such an enemy has never encountered it before.
"Passing my order, all people are not allowed to approach that area on land. All the people who were killed in this accident will be treated well by the Chamber of Commerce. Don’t let the news go. The people below the province will collapse. "It’s nothing if they are all brought by Li Cong himself. The most important thing is that now 90% of the people are forgotten people. These guys can’t take care of so many, they If they knew the terrible news, would they still be here?That is absolutely impossible. They run faster than rabbits. The most important thing for these guys is to save their lives.
"Yes, the subordinates will proceed immediately." 007 was not as mature as 002 at the time, but now Li Cong has no one available, so now 007 must grow up quickly, otherwise Li Cong will face no one. Available status, this is absolutely impossible.
Li Cong slowly poured himself a glass of water, and he was thinking slowly. In fact, for himself, the mistake is his own. When those people find out, they should be alert and shouldn't let their own People passed by again. They didn’t have any effect in the past. Instead, they took their lives. The 2800 people who died Li Cong will not feel a little distressed. After all, those people are all for themselves. Those who come with money will die if they die, but the remaining more than a hundred people are from the investigation department trained by themselves. Although their skill is not very high, their investigative skills are also very good. , And there are still five airships. What we need to worry about now is whether the airship technology has leaked out. If such an organization with a history of tens of thousands of years acquires an airship, Li Cong absolutely believes that they have the ability to develop it.Even if they don't have that ability, they can use it temporarily.
It’s no longer possible to let people in. Li Cong took out the map. All he needs to do is blockade. This idea is very bold. You must know that although the place where the ice-bound forest and the Northern Empire meet is not big, it is sufficient. There are thousands of miles away, and it seems a little unrealistic to lock down all of this place. Li Cong knew that the people inside would definitely contact the people outside.No matter how they contact, they will go this way.Of course, they can also continue to go north and take a boat out, but since the mainland has history, that has been impossible. No one has known what the north looks like for hundreds of thousands of years.No one has been.
Li Cong looked at the map carefully.If these thousands of miles were sealed off by themselves.The various forces will definitely be very unwilling, but this enemy already knows everything he has done, and he must block it here.The other three empires don’t need anything here, and they don’t have the right to manage it here. The relationship between the Northern Empire and the frozen forest lies in the Warcraft Mountain, especially the dozens of provinces in the northern part of the Northern Empire. The frozen forest is a treasure house for them. If they do not operate properly, they may cause a lot of resistance. By the way, resistance, whoever minds blocking the frozen forest by themselves, those people are very suspicious. Li Cong suddenly thought of such a thing, is this also a way?
Cut off the connection between here and the outside. If the people inside know it, they will definitely rush out. They will definitely rush everywhere. At that time, they are not facing an invisible enemy, but this is not a short time. It takes a long time to complete things inside, but now it’s the only way. It’s unrealistic to go out to the sea and look for the thunder gates. And even if you find them, just talk to Christie What's the use of people like Ao? The answers those people give to themselves will definitely be the same as Cristio. He doesn't need those answers at all, he knows them all..
The next day, many people in the camp knew what had happened inside. Although they had already said that they would block the news, thousands of people explained there. This is not a trivial matter, many people understand. What happened, they all want to know what Li Cong's next step is. If they continue to send people to that place, they will definitely not go. Their heads are well opened, why should they go to that place? , Lao Tzu’s head is okay. We are here to make money. It’s okay if there is danger, but how can we dare to go if there is such a big danger? Our brain is okay.
Li Conggen’s order came down at 10 o’clock in the morning. Many people here were relieved. Li never let people go in. He just asked them to set up a defense line about 10 kilometers in the border of the frozen forest. , All people can go in but can’t come out. Tell them that as long as those who go in can’t come out within 20 years, if you want to come out, here will strangle you together. Although this is a little overbearing, this No one cares about the place. Li Cong, who is really capable, wants to see it. As long as someone with power comes to Li Cong, Li Cong will immediately take them down. These guys are sure to take them down. It is someone who has something to do with the Raiden Gate. If you don't take them down, I'm really sorry for them. This is an indirect interruption of the Raiden Gate.
The people below were dumbfounded when they received the news from Li Cong. How could this be possible? Is there something wrong with Li Cong's brain? It is absolutely impossible. No one has been able to. The frozen forest was sealed off. What is there in it? The length of thousands of miles can't be sealed by a blockade, 300,000 people?Don't be kidding, even three million people are not enough. Besides, millions of people enter the frozen forest every year. It is winter that naturally there are not so many people, but if the weather is warm, there are many people who go in. Go, conflicts will definitely be everywhere.
Li Cong knew that this matter would be very difficult, but now there is no other way, isn't it?Now we can only face them like this, otherwise these guys can still contact the outside one by one. Li Cong temporarily puts some pressure on them like this, and the entire defense line will be completed within a year.
After explaining the matter here, Li Cong immediately set off for the Northern Empire, and he wanted to discuss this matter with the senior officials of the Northern Empire.To say that the four empires who reacted most to this incident must be the people of the Northern Empire. Li Cong definitely talked to the emperor of the Northern Empire. He should be willing to blockade him for 20 years. For those of the Northern Empire, the Forgotten Land. The emperor also had a headache. Now Li Cong should also make some sacrifices, believing that his sacrifice is worthwhile, a good-looking novel.
In the past ten years, the Northern Empire has successfully completed the transition between the old and the new. What surprised Li Cong and most of the people in the Northern Empire was that the successors chosen by the Northern Empire were not the previous princes at all, but they were The little prince who was only fifteen years old, the little prince Li Cong had only seen him once, and he came across when he was out with the little princess.That time this kid was only five or six years old.I didn't even know that the elder sister's helper was completely different from the other princes. This also made Li Cong's wife look at this little brother differently. Although the two siblings did not meet very often.But it's still good.
When Li Cong arrived in the capital, the little princess had already arrived from the south.After the two met at the airship transportation station outside the capital, they rode a carriage toward the capital.The crown prince was already waiting at the gate of the city. For them, Li Cong was not only the master of Cao's house, but also an imperial servant.Of course, there are hundreds of people in the imperial cohort. This is still this generation. If you count the previous ones, it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of people. Their status is now ordinary nobles, and they want the crown prince to go out of the city for ten miles. meet?Don’t be funny, it’s impossible for something like that to happen. It’s absolutely forbidden. Many people will regard those who have this idea as lunatics. Li Cong saw that his little wife was very concerned about this imperial city. I miss it very much, so I took this opportunity to let her rest here for a while, and here can also leave a good memory for the daughter-in-law, as long as it is a person with no problem in mind, it will not bring the court battle to On her head.
The old emperor is now in his old age. Although there have been several princes in front of him, when those people were princes, the old emperor controlled everything very strictly and would not give them any rights at all. So those people have the name of a crown prince, and they don’t have the rights of a crown prince. These guys are really aggrieved, but this prince is completely different this time. This guy is definitely very good. Right, you can see the compliments of the ministers behind him. The prince of real power and the prince of empty titles are definitely not in the same class.
"Welcome my sister and brother-in-law to the capital. I was too young when my sister and brother-in-law came. This time I have to entertain you. The Princess Mansion and the Earls Mansion have already been repainted. The people in the department are really good at handling things. If I ask them to make a good job of my house, these guys will always have problems like this, but you are different here. These guys took two days to get things done. Now, brother-in-law, your prestige is amazing." The crown prince said with a smile. Instead of asking Li Cong to salute him, he first saluted Li Cong and the little princess with family gifts. After all, he belongs to his brother-in-law.
"Haha, His Royal Highness is so polite. The officials of the Ministry of Industry are probably afraid that I will ask them for an account. Don't you think, Lord Wu?" Li Cong smiled and said to Lord Wu Tianming standing behind the Prince. , This guy is the Shangshu of the Imperial Ministry of Industry. Last year, the Imperial Ministry of Industry borrowed 3.5 billion taels of silver from the ticket number of Cao’s Commercial Bank for several huge projects. This money was supposed to be returned last month, but because The imperial financial problem has not yet been returned, and Li Cong has not urged it. Anyway, the imperial government will not repay the bill. Sooner or later, they will return the money. What happened to the extra month’s interest? It’s normal. .
"That's what Cao Jue said. The next official was afraid that Lord Jue came to charge me this time when he came to Beijing. You see, I haven't fallen asleep all night after I went back here, so I just wait to come and greet me quickly You, your Royal Highness has opinions. I am dissatisfied with this action. These colleagues are not as fast as I am. In this case, you have to ask Mr. Cao Jue to give the old man a face and take a while. "Wu Tianming is also very good at being a human being. This guy is the confidant of His Royal Highness. He naturally knows when to say what to say. Saying such things now will make everyone laugh. This kid really knows how to say something. Speaking, most people have to make such a joke. This guy is very good. Even the Prince of the Prince laughed, and everyone around was jealous of this old guy.I have been in the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry for 20 years, so it seems that this kid’s place will remain in the future. The loan is not very important at first, and the Ministry of Industry has not been able to come up with this money recently. That's okay, this old boy has a good intentions.
"Hehe, brother-in-law, there is no way to talk about this, Master Wu said it is worth it, and the face must be given." His Royal Highness said with a smile.
"Haha. I still want to listen to His Royal Highness's orders. Although I am an Earl of the Empire, to be honest, I am also a businessman who eats a meal. Of course, you have to give me the meal. If you don’t want me to be full . I have no food to eat. When will Master Wu give me a generous amount. We still have to cooperate for a long time in the future." Li Cong said with a smile, people can feel that this is to court the court. , Not only the prince, but also other officials are very comfortable. Other book friends are watching:.Such things were rarely seen in the past. Such a powerful businessman is actually talking about it. If we still don’t give others face, it is estimated that no businessman will be willing to talk to the court in the future. This side is closer.
"Okay, let's not all stand at the door and talk. This is the door of the city. Where is the brother-in-law ready to stay?" His Royal Highness said.
"You shouldn't ask me about this. I can do it anywhere, but your sister will definitely have her own ideas. Let your sister choose. I think he will live with you. I guess You are also willing." This scene is really fun, many people are happy, this is really happy today, but many old masters do not look down on Li Cong, this Li Cong is a man who listens so much. For my own wife, this is a bit afraid of my wife.
However, the tone of Li Cong's speech still made some old and unscrupulous people in the capital not very happy. These people mainly heard that they wanted to live with His Royal Highness. How could this be? In fact, Li Cong was just a joke, many People can hear it. In the eyes of these old people, these jokes cannot be opened, otherwise they will have a disrespectful meaning. It is estimated that only they can understand these meanings. Other people may not have that. cell's.
Li Cong also noticed that the crown prince did not use official titles from the beginning to the end. They all used some home names. This home name should not exist for these people. Don't think that the crown prince is like that. An easy-going person, he must have thought so when this guy did not have power, and he did the same. At that time, people in the entire capital said that His Royal Highness had a good temper, and he could talk to people and do everything. He has his own demeanor, but since this guy is in power, this is completely different. Many people have forgotten the original His Royal Highness. The current His Royal Highness simply does not have that demeanor. The current His Royal Highness If you randomly see a consort, those consorts will definitely kneel to welcome them, let alone Li Cong’s generation, even the prince’s aunt’s generation must come like this. The first thing a country needs is majesty, prince. Like the emperor, he needs majesty. He called Li Cong that way, only for two reasons. One is that Li Cong himself has that strength, and the other is that Li Cong has that strength. Refer to the first one.
Although it feels that this thing is very false, it is normal for Tianjia to have no family affection, Li Cong also understands very well, he will not really feel how much this person is related to him, if it is related , That is the relationship of mutual use. He must have his ideas for treating himself so generously. Li Cong also needs to use this in exchange for what he needs to get, and that is to block the frozen forest, although the current prince does not have that much power. , But the prince should be able to help Li Cong get things right. Many people up and down will help Li Cong. What Li Cong needs is such a platform, which the prince can provide.
In the end, the little princess chose to live in the earl's mansion. This is not to say that the earl's mansion is much better than the princess's mansion. The most important thing is that the earl's mansion is regarded as the man's home. Although male power is more popular in this society, the princess is the emperor's. For daughters or sisters, the princess's affairs are many times larger than the concubine's affairs. Moreover, after marrying the princess, they will live in the princess costume. Such a consort is no different from the descendants. Many times there will be The husband regrets coming to be this, and being the emperor's son-in-law is not such a good thing.There were tears under the glamorous surface, but the little princess knew Li Cong’s thoughts very well. Of course, she would not do things that made Li Cong ugly. Many people said that Li Cong was afraid of his wife. Fear of wives is a common problem of all concubines. This thing can't be cured. Now it seems that Li Cong has absolutely no such problem. The wife is very good at discipline.
It is estimated that Li Cong, the earl's mansion in the capital, only came once or twice. More often than not, these slaves in the capital were guarded, although Li never lived here.But there are also frequent people coming and going here.Some of Li Cong's interpersonal contacts in the capital are all from here. Although it is an earl's mansion, it is nothing in front of so many nobles in the capital, but many people know that this earl's mansion is more powerful than some palaces.Therefore, there is an endless stream of people who come to give gifts.Especially when I knew that Li Cong had just arrived in Beijing.At this time, even more people came to join in the fun, but they wanted to meet Li Cong, they were not qualified.
According to the tradition of the capital.Li Cong arrived in the capital today. Some welcome banquets in the capital are being prepared. They naturally hope that Li Cong can be invited, but according to the rules, Li Cong can’t do anything on the first day. It’s the rule of the empire to meet your majesty in the palace. It has been this way for many years. Of course, the emperor is not likely to see him if any returning earl returns. Most people don’t have that chance. Most of the people will be blocked there. The emperor is getting older now and he doesn't want to care about these things anymore, but for Li Cong, he definitely wants to see him.
In the palace gate, Li Cong broke up with the little princess. The little princess went to the harem in a carriage. The little princess also saw her father when she came back, but it was not this time.
Under the guidance of the two little fathers-in-law, Li Cong was preparing to go to the Palace of Qinzheng to meet the emperor. This was also the third time Li Cong saw this emperor. Li Cong had contact with the emperors of the Western Empire and the Northern Empire. If Li Cong is allowed to make a choice, Li Cong feels that he is better than the emperor of the Northern Empire, and the emperor of the Western Empire is insidious in his heart. Such things make Li Cong very uncomfortable, but they are sitting in the seat of the emperor. , I can't treat others like that.
"The two father-in-laws are newcomers. I will ask you to take care of them in the future." Li Cong smiled and gave two fifty taels of gold ingots to the two little eunuchs.
It’s not that the little eunuch has never seen money, but it is the first time to see that such a person will give him so much money. The two of them have no position in the palace. These two men usually lead Although the monthly money in the imperial palace is the eunuch of the Qinzheng Hall, it is impossible to see the emperor except for the emperor during cleaning, so even if someone gives them a reward, the maximum is two. Just a golden melon seed, at most it is just a few taels of silver. This is a lot of money for ordinary people, and for them this is the least reward. These fifty taels of gold are their net income for half a year. Immediately, the two of them had a straightforward feeling for the earl. Damn, the prince was not so generous before. In fact, those princes also have the money, but who does not have their own abacus in their heart, those princes are sure It is really a waste of thinking that these two guys don't need to give so much gold at all.
"The Lord Sir Alex is so polite. Our brothers can't catch even an ant in this palace. Your Majesty has basically not managed the government very much recently. Some things are done by His Royal Highness and some ministers. We just There is nothing more to do, but Sir Alex Ferguson can be regarded as the first one. In the past few days, dozens of nobles have returned to Beijing, but none of them have been summoned by His Majesty." A young eunuch said with a smile, his words There will be some news in many of them, otherwise, wouldn't the fifty taels of gold be given to him in vain? Such chat-style release of news is what they often do.
"That's right, Sir Sir Alex is really young and promising. His Majesty usually mentions Sir Sir Alex. As for what he said, we don't know what Sir Sir Sir Alex said. Sir Sir Alex must be able to know him." Another fellow He smiled and said that he didn't know much about these things, but what he said was more taboo than he was just now. It can also be seen that this guy's art of speaking is not very high.
Li Cong also knew that these two guys were actually baby birds, and he told himself what he wanted to know when he came up. It would be impossible for some veterans to tell the news. They were all shrewd. It’s very, those people will divide the news into several sentences. It takes half an hour to get to the Palace of Qinzheng from here. Li Cong will have to pay several times more to get the news. I didn’t expect these two This kid told himself everything.
"Thank you for leading the way, this little silver will buy wine for both of you." When he arrived at the place, Li Cong kindly took out two ingots again, but these two ingots are not gold now. It’s silver, but it’s still fifty taels. The two of them are also very happy. They didn’t expect that there would be rewards when they got there. Let alone them, it’s in the palace. Some senior eunuchs also said the same.
Although there are many people on this planet and the area is large, the palace of Qinzheng is not much different from the palace on the earth, because the number of high-ranking officials in the capital is basically the same, but this There are a lot of people on the side. This is not the time of the early dynasty, nor the time of the tide. Naturally, there are not so many officials staying here. There are only a dozen officials standing in front of Li Cong. They all had something to report to the emperor, but they never thought that they could see the emperor. According to the previous rules, the emperor would take some documents and let them go to His Royal Highness.
"Your Majesty is called, Lord Sir, please go to the hall." After a while, a little eunuch came down from above, and quickly ran to Li Cong and said. The others looked at Li Cong with suspicious eyes. This emperor was already I haven't called anyone up for a long time. What is going on?Who is this young man, how come he hasn't seen him before? He is just an earl according to his rank and dress. When can an earl have such a face?This is just a bit unruly. Many people are whispering, but no one knows the identity of Li Cong. It is true that Li Cong has too few activities in the capital, and when he comes, he is looking for some status. For the taller people, the officials here are all third-grade Beijing officials. Those who have seen Li Cong didn't have them at all. How could they recognize them.(To be continued...)
