Chapter 967 Sheng Qi's Relief [Please subscribe*Please vote]

The fact was just as the elder Bingzhu had expected. After Tian Hu came to the Zhu family, the Zhu family did not show any dissatisfaction and even felt relieved.

After all, he is not the chief of the farming families. Even if he follows the orders of the chief of the farming families to go to Beiye Royal City for negotiations, he will eventually have to face a head of a family, a leader-level figure, and he will be at a disadvantage in the negotiations.

With Tian Hu, the mascot hero they nominated, he is more confident to confront big figures like An Qisheng and Jing Ke head-on and get as much benefit as possible.

The succession ceremony of the farmer's hero was held as scheduled. They did not choose an auspicious day, but chose a day nearby after estimating the time to notify various forces and their arrival.

After all, what farmers lack most now is time, and they don’t want to waste time on something that is both important and not so important.

The various schools of thought and the remaining princes also gave him face.

The Confucian school sent its third in command, Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang, to watch the ceremony. The Taoist sect also sent an elder from the Qi and Lu regions. As for the Tian sect, forget it. They might not even have all the elders present for their own leader to succeed to the throne.

There was something unusual happening in the Mohist school, as two leaders arrived. One was the leader of the Qi Mo lineage, Pao Ding; the other was the leader of the Mohist headquarters who came specially from Beiye Royal City.

The other hundred families also sent a famous and prestigious figure to give the farmers enough face.

As for the Qin State and Bingzhou, they seemed to have tacitly sent their guests to watch the ceremony.

"This is the difference between having a chivalrous leader and not having one!" The six hall masters of the Nong family couldn't help but sigh as they looked at the lively venue.

In the past, who among the princes and the various schools of thought would pay attention to them, let alone send important members to watch the ceremony.

In particular, both Qin and Bing sent Dian Ke Qing, one of the Nine Ministers, to come.

"Why is he here!"

However, the arrival of one person made the farmers feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.

The tall stature, the huge blunt sword, and the tattoos on his face and body, which were unique to the death row prisoners of the seven countries, all revealed the identity of the visitor.

Chen Sheng, the former head of the Kuiwei Hall of the Farming Family, is now Shuijun's personal bodyguard and black swordsman Sheng Qi.

"Let's talk about it later!" Zhu Jia and Situ Wanli looked at each other and immediately blocked Shengqi's way, fearing that Shengqi was here to cause trouble.

There are too many princes and big names from various schools of thought who have arrived today. If Shengqi makes a scene, the Nong family will lose all face.

"I, the black swordsman Sheng Qi, have come to watch the ceremony on the orders of the Lord of Water and to present a gift specially to congratulate Hall Master Tian Hu on becoming the number one hero!" Sheng Qi looked at Zhu Jia and Situ Wanli who had stopped him and shouted loudly. The attendants behind him also presented the gift arranged by Wei Ju as Sheng Qi finished speaking.

"Are you not here to cause trouble?" Zhu Jia and Situ Wanli breathed a sigh of relief, yet they also looked at Sheng Qi in confusion.

They were relatively familiar with Shengqi. He had a bad temper, but he was able to get away with it so easily.

"How can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan? Today's Shengqi is no longer the Chen Sheng of the past. Now Shengqi's goal is the stars and the sea. The farmer's family... tsk~ too small!" Shengqi sneered.

In fact, he was somewhat reluctant to let it go at the beginning, but after Wei Ju told him the goal of the navy, Sheng Qi suddenly understood.

The farm is big and can fight well?
If you want to make a living in this world, your identity and background must be important.

After so many years of farming, they can only stay in the land of Qi and Lu.

But what about the navy that broke out of the Wei State? It was an existence that traversed the three rivers and five mountains, roamed the waters of the world, and conquered the vast ocean.

He was a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, not to mention that he was Wei Ju's personal guard, and he also had an absolutely loyal and elite navy guard. With his current status, if he pretended to convey Wei Ju's order to kill a farmer's leader, there would be many people willing to help.

Having reached such a status, it would be a degradation of one's status to return to this small puddle of farmland.

In front of a real large army and powerful forces, the farmers are nothing more than a sect and a bandit gang.

This is the reason why Shengqi truly let go of his hatred.

Identity determines the size of hatred.

With his current status, the hatred that he felt was so great in the past is actually just a passing cloud and there is no need to take it to heart.

“…”Although the Zhu family and Situ Wanli were ridiculed by Shengqi, they had to admit that it seemed normal for Shengqi to look down on them.

With Sheng Qi's current status, unless he is the leader of a farming family, the status of a hall master is really not as good as the commander of the navy guards.

"Let the past be the past!" Sheng Qi said calmly, then walked to the seats of the Qin and Bingzhou guests and sat in the front row of the ceremony.

Zhu Jia and Situ Wanli looked at Sheng Qi, who was sitting in front of the rostrum and chatting and laughing with the nine ministers of the two empires, and finally understood the gap in their current status.

Although the navy was a branch of the Qin army, Wei Ju was a feudal lord of Qin, and a single-character feudal lord at that, in charge of all water affairs in the world. As long as it was related to water, it was under Wei Ju's jurisdiction.

Even the Qin State's State Commander Wei Liaozi and General Wang Jian were not as worthy of Wei Ju in terms of title. According to the Qin State's system of military merit and titles, the State Commander's Office had no right to command the navy.

The only people in the entire Qin State who could command the navy and give orders to Wei Ju were King Ying Zheng of Qin and the current Crown Prince Fusu who served as regent.

Therefore, even Dun Ruo, a guest official of the Qin State, took the initiative to make friends and talk with Sheng Qi when he saw him.

The Nine Ministers are one of the institutions under the Prime Minister's Office. Xiong Qi is the Lord of Changping, and has the same status as Wei Ju. Sheng Qi, as the commander of Wei Ju's personal guards, has the same status as the Nine Ministers to a certain extent.

What's more, every government office is short of money.

In the entire Qin army, the only one that made money was the navy.

The navy can even generate its own revenue without the need for funding from the national treasury, and can even provide it to the national treasury.

Under such circumstances, who among the nine ministers of Xianyang would not want to do business with the navy and make money from behind the navy?
Even Wang Jian only dared to criticize Wei Ju and the navy behind their backs.

If you let Wei Ju stand in front of Wang Jian and say to him, "I have a way on the sea. The risk is a bit high, but the profit is very high," do you think Wang Jian will immediately put away all his resentment and rush to become brothers with Wei Ju?

Wang Jian was obsessed with building the Wang family's battle-hardened armored soldiers, and that required a lot of money.

If he could establish a relationship with the navy, Wang Jian would definitely not miss it.

Not to mention the Diankeqing Yamen which did not have much power.

Even if the navy could make just a little profit, it would be enough to make the officials in the Diankeqing Yamen rich.

"Lord Dun Ruo, the king hopes that you can go to Kuaiji when you are free to discuss something!" Sheng Qi did not come specifically to watch the ceremony, but was ordered by Wei Ju to come with a mission.

"Since Shui Jun has invited me, I will definitely go!" Dun Ruo's eyes lit up. If Wei Ju could take the initiative to invite him, it must be no small business.
