Brother, Stop Doing It, You Are A Villain!

"Master! Mistress!"

Just after Lian Yingying agreed to Lin Xiaoran's proposal, Feng Lingxue's shouts came from outside.

As soon as Feng Lingxue ran into the room, she said to Lin Xiaoran: "Master, just now a message came from Master Lu, saying that the flame heating device at the pill refining pavilion has been completed, let you go and have a look! "

Lin Xiaoran nodded: "Okay, I'll go right away. Xue'er, take care of Yu'er for me first."

"Okay!" Feng Lingxue immediately took Feng Lingyu from Lin Xiaoran's arms, smiling so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, "Little Junior Brother, do you miss me, Senior Sister?"

Feng Lingyu stared at a pair of ignorant eyes, and kept yelling "Yi Yi Ya Ya" at Feng Lingxue.

Feng Lingxue smiled even more happily: "You really miss me? Then give me a kiss!"

"Eep, babble—mua!"

Looking at this scene, Lin Xiaoran couldn't figure out how Feng Lingxue could figure out what he was talking about from Feng Lingyu's "babbling" cry.

And Lian Yingying looked at Feng Lingyu who was teased by Feng Lingxue and couldn't stop laughing, for some reason, she suddenly felt a little envious.

She didn't know what she was thinking of, but suddenly her face turned red, and she looked like a well-cooked lobster, which looked very pretty and lovely.

Lin Xiaoran said at this time: "Sister Lian, would you like to go to the pill refining pavilion with me? Since you have decided to join the Xiuzhen Academy, you will have to get in touch with the pill refining pavilion sooner or later."

Lian Yingying came back to her senses, and she couldn't help showing a look of surprise: "This... is also something I can visit?"

For the vast majority of sects, the pill refining pavilion and foundry are secrets among secrets, let alone outsiders, even disciples of the sect cannot easily enter. Why is it here, but you can visit it at will?

Lin Xiao Ran waved his hand casually, and said nonchalantly, "It's just a pill refining booth. In the future, every student will have to come into contact with it, so there is no need to keep it secret."

Lian Yingying was once again so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, feeling like her three views had been broken.

In the end, Lian Yingying went to the Pill Refining Pavilion with Lin Xiaoran, because she was really curious about what the Pill Refining Pavilion in Wuling City looked like.

And Feng Lingxue stayed in the room, playing with Feng Lingyu.

Next to her, little Phoenix Lin Huanger, who had been raised like a chicken, was "twittering" non-stop. The red fine fluff makes the little Phoenix look a bit like a dyed chicken, and its sound is similar to that of a chicken. I don't know if it's because the origin of Phoenix was swallowed by Feng Lingyu, but the little Phoenix was born with a kind of affection for Feng Lingyu. If no one cares about it on weekdays, it will keep spinning around Feng Lingyu.

At this time, the little Phoenix was walking around beside Feng Lingyu, flapping a pair of short wings and jumping onto Feng Lingyu's body from time to time.

Feng Lingyu waved his stubby little hands to catch little Phoenix, but little Phoenix didn't notice for a while, but was actually caught by Feng Lingyu.

Feng Lingyu held up little Phoenix in front of his eyes and kept watching, and little Phoenix also looked at Feng Lingyu with his eyes open. After a long time, Feng Lingyu didn't know which tendon was wrong, and stuffed little Phoenix into his mouth.

"Chi Chi Chi Chi..."

Little Phoenix kept screaming in fright, and Feng Lingxue quickly snatched little Phoenix from Feng Lingyu's hands. As soon as the escaped little Phoenix landed on the ground, it flapped its wings and fled far away, screaming non-stop. However, Feng Lingyu was dissatisfied with being robbed of his things, and yelled at Feng Lingxue non-stop.

Feng Lingxue didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and comforted: “Little brother, this Phoenix can’t be eaten!”

Feng Lingyu was still yelling, but the little Phoenix who had already hid in the corner looked here, not knowing what he was thinking.

—————————

On the other side, Feng Shao was lost in thought while holding the invitation he just received.

To be honest, Feng Shao did not expect that Tang Fei could quell the civil strife in Ziqing Sacred Land so quickly. And it is obvious that Tang Fei did not directly take action in the pacification of this civil turmoil. After all, a mere God Transformation Realm cultivator is really helpless in front of two Transcending Tribulation Realm Power. But even so, the eldest Elder and the second Elder were defeated and died under his calculations, which shows Tang Fei's ability.

It's great that such a tricky guy is friend rather than foe.

Since Ziqing Sacred Land sent an invitation card, Feng Shao is going to go there. It's just that what Feng Shao is hesitating about is how many people to bring there.

Fewer people are leading, which does not reflect the importance Wuling City attaches to Ziqing Sacred Land; more people are leading, but it is a bit overwhelming.

After thinking about it, Feng Shao suddenly realized that perhaps it was time for Wuling City to undergo an ideological change.

The reason why he thinks this way is because Feng Shao thought of the diplomacy between countries in this world.

Generally speaking, diplomacy, as one of the basic national policies alongside internal affairs, military and economics, has extraordinary significance. Therefore, no country will not pay attention to this. Generally speaking, the official diplomacy between countries is attended by heads of state and their wives. The scene may not be too big, but it seems to be enough attention, and it is just right in terms of specifications. So Feng Shao felt that it should be the best choice for him and Lin Xiaoran to be invited together.

In this world, similar exchanges also exist, but generally they are only a formality and have not formed a formal diplomatic practice. After all, there is no concept of country here, and there seems to be no need to pay too much attention to formal diplomacy.

But since Feng Shao wanted to develop Wuling City into a country, he had to consider this aspect.

Therefore, Feng Shao called Dai Zhixin and explained his own thoughts to Dai Zhixin in detail. After Dai Zhixin listened, she didn't answer Feng Shao's question immediately, but asked instead: "City Master, what conditions do you think need to be met to develop Wuling City from a city to a country? How long will it take?"

Feng Shao frowned and thought for a moment before saying: "Sufficient territory, a culture recognized by the majority of the people, a sufficient population, strong military strength and diplomatic influence, if these conditions are met, it should be enough to establish a country." ? The additional time consumed...maybe at least a few decades, and if there is more, it is possible to go to Hundred Years."

Dai Zhixin nodded and said, "Indeed, it should take a long time to grow from a city to a country. But do you know how long it took the Roman Empire to develop from a small city-state to its heyday?"

Without waiting for Feng Shao to answer, Dai Zhixin stretched out a finger: "It only took more than a hundred years. The Roman Empire was able to develop to such a large scale in a short period of time. In fact, only they That's just a powerful army. As for culture and so on, the people under the rule of the Roman Empire don't have a strong sense of identity with it. After all, there are many ethnic groups in Europe, and the population of each ethnic group is similar, so it has never appeared Live a real pan-cultural circle.”

Speaking of this, Dai Zhixin changed the subject again and said, "Do you know how long it took Mongolia from its founding to its peak?"

She stretched out five fingers: "For more than fifty years, this powerful Great Emperor country in history is second only to the Sunset Empire in terms of territory. It only took more than fifty years from its establishment to its peak. And the Mongol Empire's Not to mention cultural identity. At its peak, the Mongols had a population of less than 10 million, but they ruled over 200 million people.”

Afterwards, Dai Zhixin said meaningfully: "Actually, judging from the external conditions, it is possible to unify this world, at least it is easier to achieve unification than Mongolia and Rome. The only question is, do you have enough people to hang around?" Great force."

Feng Shao frowned and said, "Can't we use the way of city-state union?"

Dai Zhixin shrugged: "This can be regarded as a solution, but you might as well think about it carefully. How many countries have been established on the basis of the union of city-states in history? How many have really achieved strength? Think about the fate of the Roman Republic. Think about the fate of the Greek Republic. If you are closer, you can refer to the universe, and what is the final result?"

Dai Zhixin said with emotion: "In this world where strength is the most important thing, do you want to convince people with virtue? You can't say it's impossible, but it's definitely the most difficult of all roads. If you insist on choosing this Of course, I can only follow your ideas. But as your aide, I think I should remind you how difficult it is to walk this road."

Feng Shao had to admit that Dai Zhixin saw this very clearly.

There is no best system, only the most suitable system. In this world where the gap in individual strength is ridiculously large, respecting strength has become the most important principle that everyone respects. It is not impossible to establish a country, but the premise is that you have to conquer everyone.

This also means that only the monarchy is the most suitable system for this world.

Feng Shao couldn't help sighing. This is different from what he imagined before!

Dai Zhixin looked at Feng Shao and smiled secretly. She knows the follow-up plot, and also knows that Feng Shao is actually a dreamer in essence. Although he has great ambitions, many of his ideas were actually too naive at the beginning. In the end, he found helplessly that many things did not develop as he imagined. And what she said now was just to tell Feng Shao something in advance that he would figure out later.

After pondering for a long time, Feng Shao finally sighed and said, "Looking at you like this, it seems that you already have a plan? Why don't you tell me about it here first."

Dai Zhixin laughed. Feng Shao's words are actually a kind of compromise to fate.

Compromising to fate is not losing face, what losing face is being beaten by fate again and again.

Dai Zhixin smiled and said: "Actually, I only have one plan, but it is a plan to build a powerful army. The prerequisite for building an army is to have powerful weapons. So during the time you left, I have been trying to do it. Some weapons that conform to the laws of development in this world. Fortunately, there have been a few finished products recently."

"Although judging from the power of these finished products, there is still a long way to go before building a truly powerful army. But to move a world, this small fulcrum is often needed. What do you think, my Lord Feng Dacheng?"
