undead warrior

Chapter 227

"Bastard! Why isn't that Chen dead yet!" Mo Wentian cursed.

At this time, Hua Xiaofang said with trepidation, "The business with the Sea Clan is even more troublesome. With the Cai family withdrawing from the Lingxiao Empire, no one will protect the hidden trade routes. Our batch of goods has been robbed. I haven't found the murderer yet. However, there are signs that the Brilliant Chamber of Commerce has begun to intervene in transactions with the Sea Clan."

When he heard that his goods were robbed, Mo Wentian's eyes showed murderous intent, and he said in a cold voice, "Go and contact Leng Baimei, she will provide you with a safer business route, and you will encounter trouble when you pass through the Lingxiao Empire." It’s easy to solve, take a long way around and go to the west to enter the Caifeng Empire. Now that the north and the south are cut off, the goods from the south are more valuable in the north.”

"But Xihuang is now the world of the undead. I heard that there are still bone warriors patrolling, which is extremely dangerous. What if..."

Mo Wentian waved his hand, "It's okay, hang the Mo family's battle flag, and the West Wilderness will be unimpeded."

The two girls were immediately pleasantly surprised, they didn't expect that Mo Wentian could easily solve such a huge problem for them.Although it will take a long way to go, the huge profits are worth it.

At this time, Cai Qifeng also spoke, "Go and contact Caifeng Empire's business department, they will be very happy to see the goods from the north being sold to the demons and sea people, and will provide you with the greatest help in dumping goods within the empire." .”

Another surprise, with the official protection, it will be much more convenient to get the goods from the Demon and Sea Clan. Wan Nujiao and Hua Xiaofang all smiled immediately.

"You guys take this to Leng Baimei."

Mo Wentian threw out the body of a demon that was more than two feet long. Even though it was a corpse, it still exuded the power of billowing magic, which shocked the people in the room.

In fact, Mo Wentian, the devil's remnant body, is also useful. When the little Void Beast hatches, it can accelerate its growth.But I still decided to give it to Leng Baimei, she needs this thing more, and the little Void Beast can also grow by devouring other flesh and blood, but Leng Baimei can't, it's better to give it to Leng Baimei for refining.

Wan Nujiao is mainly in charge of dealing with the devil, and her storage ring has a relatively large internal space, so she immediately put away the corpse of the devil, so the room is not so spooky.

The two bowed and left to arrange the matters Mo Wentian explained. Mo Wentian was meditating while drinking tea.

This time, the main task of coming to Ping'an Fortress is completed, but we can't leave immediately. We have to wait for how the Ling Xiao Empire treats Ping'an Fortress, in case something happens.

While thinking about it, Mo Youlan walked in and said, "Little ancestor, the inspector of the Lingxiao Empire wants to see you."

"Humph!"

Mo Wentian snorted coldly and nodded to let him in. This guy is in charge of judging the Fortress of Peace, let's see what he has to say.

"See Viscount Mo!"

The people who came in were wearing dark blue official uniforms with a crane embroidered on them, but they only called Mo Wentian the noble title.

Mo Wentian didn't care, sat there and glanced at him, "Why do you want to see me?"

"I just want to ask you, what will you do next if the Fortress of Ping An becomes independent?"

"what!"

Mo Wentian laughed and looked at him with squinted eyes, "Now that half of Fort Ping'an has become independent, and the northern fiefdom has expanded to five hundred miles, do you think I will care about the remaining half? How to do it, I need it I'm going to explain to you?"

His words made the inspector sweat a little, and the pressure on Mo Wentian was too great. In the eyes of these officials, Mo Wentian has always been arrogant and unreasonable, and treats the law and the royal family as nothing. To death!

He wiped off his sweat and said, "Then... let me put it another way, if the empire allows the entire Fort Ping'an to be independent, and the fiefdom in the south is extended to five hundred miles, can you guarantee that the undead cannot invade?"

Mo Wentian understood in his heart that this inspector was a little scared when he saw that he had gone to Xuanwu City and returned safely.

"Speak directly, don't whine at me."

The impatient words came out of Mo Wentian's mouth, and the inspector trembled again. He turned his head and looked outside the door for help. An extremely ugly man walked in with big strides. Only half of his face could be seen. The other half was shaped like a ghost, and he bowed his hands and saluted Mo Wentian.

"See alchemy master!"

The person who came was Zhao Moying, who was no longer a patrol captain in Xihuang. He changed his armor style and became a commander, but he was called by the title bestowed by Emperor Ling Xiao.

Seeing him Mo Wentian smiled, beckoned him to sit down, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be promoted to Commander-in-Chief, why are you and I so polite, sit down quickly."

Zhao Moying smiled wryly in her heart. Although she became a commander-in-chief, an existence that many people envy, but compared with Mo Wentian, that is the difference between cloud and mud.

Glancing at the trembling inspector, Zhao Moying said solemnly, "Don't sit in the lowly position, and explain the reason for you."

Mo Wentian didn't force himself, and said with a smile, "Let's talk!"

Zhao Moying clasped his fists again neither humble nor overbearing, and said loudly, "Yesterday, the empire sent two imperial edicts, one is to canonize you as the earl of the empire, take back the fortress of peace, and change the land to Huangtian County. The other is to exempt you from the viscount of the empire." The identity of the Fortress of Peace is independent, and the land is granted for five hundred miles."

Mo Wentian raised his eyebrows. Although these two decrees were both granting land, they were completely different. One was to completely invest Mo Wentian in the Lingxiao Empire, and the other was to allow independence and form a family of his own.

"There is a price, right?"

Facing his inquiry, Zhao Moying nodded, "The first imperial decree is to ask you to draw a clear line with the Caifeng Empire. I don't need to mention this. I think it is impossible. And after these days of contact, the Mo family I also don’t want to enter the depths of the empire. The second is to make you promise that you will not do anything that endangers the empire, especially not letting the undead enter.”

"what!"

Mo Wentian laughed dryly, turned his head to look at Cai Qifeng who was sitting beside him, and said quietly, "It seems that Emperor Ling Xiao is not as straightforward as Emperor Caifeng. Let the son take power!"

Cai Qifeng immediately agreed with a smile, "I think so!"

As courtiers, Mo Wentian and Cai Qifeng commented on His Majesty, the inspector was angry and annoyed, but Zhao Moying looked indifferent, and said again.

"I guess you must choose the second edict. His Majesty the Emperor didn't say that you must leave a guarantee letter, as long as you give a verbal guarantee."

Following his words, the inspector cooperatively took out a copy of the imperial decree, Mo Youlan walked over to get it in his hand, turned around and walked up to Mo Wentian to hand it over.

I opened the imperial decree and took a look. It was indeed written that the Fortress of Peace was allowed to be independent, and the land was granted for five hundred miles, and it was thrown aside.

Seeing the inspector looking at him expectantly, he said slowly, "I can only guarantee that the undead will not enter from the control area of ​​the Fort Ping'an, and the rest cannot be guaranteed. In fact, it doesn't matter if I don't give me a fief of five hundred miles. Let's see who dares to accept this half of the Fortress of Safety."

This made the inspector sweat again, and turned his head to look at Zhao Moying as if asking for help, but Zhao Moying shrugged, "What do you think I am doing? People have accepted the imperial decree, so let's not be an eyesore, let's go .”

After speaking, he dragged the inspector and walked out. The inspector opened his mouth, wanting to say that Mo Wentian hadn't promised not to harm the empire, but Zhao Moying had already dragged him out of the room.

"You...you are presumptuous! He hasn't made a promise yet, how can he give him the imperial edict."

Not daring to offend Mo Wentian, the inspector started yelling at Zhao Moying after walking away, Zhao Moying retorted with a cold face.

"You took the imperial decree out on your own initiative. Now that it's in Mo Wentian's hands, you still want to get it back? It's just a dream!"

"Are you still blaming me? You go back now and let Mo Wentian make a promise that you will never endanger the empire, otherwise we will not be able to communicate with each other."

Zhao Moying shook his head, "You think too highly of me, I can't make him make such a promise, don't go!"

The inspector immediately jumped up, "I order you to go, if Mo Wentian doesn't make a guarantee, I will punish you for collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country."

Zhao Moying was sprayed with foam on his face and threatened, and immediately became a little angry, his eyes widened and he growled, "Are you so stupid? If you will go, tell your majesty that he will make a promise, it will be fine, this matter Only the two of us know that if you are a grasshopper on the same rope, can I still betray you?"

"You...you are presumptuous. I will never do anything to deceive His Majesty. If you don't go, you have to go. If you don't go, His Majesty will blame you. It is all your responsibility, and you will be executed."

It was another threat. Zhao Moying's demon energy was surging, and the resentment that had been suppressed and excluded for a long time also broke out. He grabbed the inspector by the neck and roared in a louder voice.

"I'm alone, my whole family is dead, who are you frightening? It's a big deal and I won't do it!"

After speaking, he threw the inspector to the ground, tore off the epaulets from the armor, threw them on the ground, stepped on his feet, strode out, took two steps and then turned back.

The inspector thought he had changed his mind, but he was kicked by Zhao Moying who walked up to him, and spit on his face.

"I'm going to seek refuge with Master Shuangjue. If you have the ability, go back to the imperial capital and tell the truth."

After finishing speaking, he kicked the inspector again, walked quickly towards the previous room, and tidied up his armor in front of the door, took a deep breath amidst the sniggering of the two women's guards, and walked in.

Mo Wentian had received the report a long time ago and knew that he had quarreled with the inspector, so he watched Zhao Moying enter with a smile.

Zhao Moying's face was serious, and he knelt down on one knee facing Mo Wentian, with his sword in his hand leaning on the ground, and said loudly, "I, Zhao Moying, swear allegiance to my lord, Mo Wentian, please take me in."

Mo Wentian's face also became serious, he quickly got up, and said in the same loud voice, "I accept your loyalty."

Zhao Moying was overjoyed in his heart, but he didn't get up immediately. He cut the palm of his left hand with a sword, and when the blood flowed out and smeared his face, he solemnly said again, "I, Zhao Moying, swear to my soul that I will be loyal to my lord this life. Never betray."
