Dragon's Origin

Chapter 222: A Good Opportunity (Part 1)

To be honest, when he first received the stern diplomatic note from Feng Country, the Duke of Song was quite furious.

He was not angry that Feng Country came to him because of this matter. This was originally the Song family's fault and could not be shirked. Although Song Hongde had just come out of the Thousand Absolutes Land when this matter was arranged, those assassins were indeed targeting the Great Elder of the Feng family. Even if it was arranged by the Song family's elders, Song Hongde, as the patriarch, could not escape responsibility.

Later, Song Hongde launched assassins to assassinate Wang Sheng and destroy that camp. He did it, and he admitted it. But he was just unhappy with Feng Country's attitude of almost licking Wang Sheng's boots. Is a mere third-level junior worth the attention of the dignified Marquis of Feng Country? At this time, the leader of Song Country obviously selectively forgot that Wang Sheng only had someone bring a message, and he obediently closed down the Song Country's camp.

But in addition to anger, the Duke of Song had to prepare a reply for Feng Country. While he and several important officials were discussing how to reply, he suddenly received an unexpected message.

There is a relic in the Thousand Absolutes Land, which is the mountain gate of a certain alchemy sect hundreds of years ago. It is said that there are still several Rebirth Pills, known as divine pills, inside. And Baoqing Remaining Hall is recently planning to form a team to explore this relic, and the preferred guide is Wang Sheng.

The Rebirth Pill that can bring the dead back to life, almost at the same time as hearing this name, Song Hongde suddenly strongly wanted to possess it. For his current situation, if he could find the Rebirth Pill, it might bring him a normal body. Even if his cultivation base is completely abolished from then on, as long as he can live like a normal person for decades, how much can he do with his talent and strategy?

As soon as this idea appeared, it became uncontrollable. The more he thought about it, the more Song Hongde wanted it. For a person who knows he will die, the news of several life-saving pills suddenly appearing is simply a godsend! If he doesn't seize such an opportunity, wouldn't he be letting down God?

The news came from a reliable channel of the Song family. Baoqing Remaining Hall was not secretive enough in its actions, and was detected by an undercover agent of the Song family in Baoqing Remaining Hall, who quickly sent it back.

Inquiring from other channels, Song Hongde also received good news. Baoqing Remaining Hall is indeed forming a team to prepare for an adventure. The specific target is not clear where, but judging from the posture, it cannot be separated from the Thousand Absolutes Land.

In addition, Baoqing Remaining Hall posted a task in the Assassin's Hall of Worry-Free City. Although the task was taken and hidden as soon as it was posted, the Song family's spies still managed to get the content of the task through some internal personnel of the Assassin's Hall, which was also to explore a relic in the Thousand Absolutes Land. And the one who took the task was Wang Sheng.

On the one hand, he was robbing the divine pill to extend his life, and on the other hand, he was taking the opportunity to kill Wang Sheng. These two benefits made the Duke of Song unable to suppress the idea of sending someone to follow and reap the benefits. Isn't it just entering the Thousand Absolutes Land? Could it be that apart from Wang Sheng, no one else can easily enter and exit the Thousand Absolutes Land? Hundreds of Song family experts have lived in the Thousand Absolutes Land for more than ten years, is that fake?

If killing Wang Sheng is a personal vendetta, then the Rebirth Pill is a real benefit to the Duke of Song. Not to mention another news recently sent back by Song Lao Yu, the steward of Song Yan, which made the Duke of Song even more excited.

Song Yan said that she had almost figured out the location of the Baoqing Remaining Hall's snow sugar and refined salt production workshops, and was trying to buy off several key personnel. As long as the sugar and salt making techniques are in hand, the Baoqing Remaining Hall's business can be snatched away immediately.

Snow sugar and refined salt! Even if the Duke of Song looks down on doing business, the income from these two businesses makes the Duke of Song drool!

All the vassal states were established not long ago, which one is not exhausting their family wealth to build everywhere, and at the same time spending gold coins like running water? No matter how much they earn, it is not enough. The armies, city defenses, people's livelihood, various weapons, medicinal materials, and resources in various places, which one does not need gold coins like mountains? That little bit of tax revenue and the family's wealth cannot even see a splash of water when invested.

What a blessing it would be to have these two businesses! Just thinking about it, the Duke of Song suddenly felt so happy.

His daughter is indeed his daughter. Although she doesn't quite agree with his approach to Wang Sheng, she is still silently helping her father to strengthen the Song Country.

Even if it's just for his daughter, Song Hongde must get the Rebirth Pill, must be reborn, and must make Song Country surpass other vassal states and become the number one overlord.

Compared with the great cause of hegemony, giving Feng Country a little compensation, letting them calm down, and showing weakness to the enemy is not worth mentioning at all.

Isn't it just a little compensation? Give it to him! Five times the compensation. Five sets of protective suits, ten thousand gold coins, and five beauties, prepare them on the same day and send them over, enough to make the Marquis of Feng Country laugh.

As for the Duke of Song himself, he immediately arranged for three experts, one in the ninth level and two in the eighth level, to secretly rush to Worry-Free City to monitor Wang Sheng and his party.

These three experts were all hunting experts in the Thousand Absolutes Land back then, and they are extremely familiar with survival in the Thousand Absolutes Land. As long as they can follow to the destination silently, they are not afraid that Wang Sheng and the people from Baoqing Remaining Hall can escape.

It is better to have fewer but more elite soldiers. These three experts are enough to cope with most of the crises in the Thousand Absolutes Land and solve all the troubles at the same time. It is easy to be discovered if there are too many people, there is no need.

Don't think that Wang Sheng can run rampant in the Thousand Absolutes Land by controlling the man-eating ants. His man-eating ant army cannot always follow Wang Sheng. Once the people from Baoqing Remaining Hall find the Rebirth Pill, it is hard to say who that thing belongs to.

Watching the experts he had carefully cultivated leave, Song Hongde felt a surge of excitement in his heart. Finally, he heard good news in the midst of busy official duties. Now he is waiting for the results. He hopes his body can last until then.

Compared with the series of plans of the Duke of Song, the Marquis of Feng Country was obviously much weaker. When the meaning of the Duke of Song was passed to his ears first, the Marquis of Feng Country and several important officials naturally felt that this joint pressure had worked.

The strongest vassal states are like this, so in the future, if there are similar disputes, they can completely consider using the same method to subdue other vassal states.

Of course, the Marquis of Feng Country did not forget to compensate Wang Sheng. Protective clothing and heads are almost ready to be sent to Worry-Free City. If you want to do favors, you have to do them all at once, so the Marquis of Feng Country did not say anything. Didn't the Duke of Song send five beauties? He accepted all the beauties, and then Feng Country sent two Feng Country beauties to Wang Sheng's home as an apology and as an explanation to Wang Sheng.
