Genius Demon Empress

The Dragon War Empire occupies the northern part of the Eastern Continent. The so-called southern counties of the empire refer to several counties near the Black Beast Ridge.

Qing Zizhu had never heard of the three southern counties of the empire that Qingfeng mentioned, but he vaguely remembered the name of Fontaine County.

Isn't that the territory of the Blood Cherry Duke's Mansion?

Qing Zizhu immediately realized that the southernmost counties and towns in the empire refer to Fontaine County, Bailu County, and Xuanshou Mountain Town - Wusheng Town, which are adjacent to the small Shang Kingdom.

Except for the Five Saints Town, which is slightly better because there is a mercenary union stationed there, the other two are famous run-down counties in the empire. I heard that the last time the Ministry of Household Affairs sent a tax officer to pay the territorial tax, there was no sound. I didn’t ask for any imperial gold coins.

There is only one possibility to avoid taxation from the tough roosters in the Ministry of Household Affairs. The local people must be so poor that they can't even pay a cent.

"Dad, why don't you just take an empty boat and go around that area? I heard that those counties in the south are very poor and have been plagued by beasts for years." Qing Zizhu didn't dare to say anything. He actually wanted to say The thing is, only a fool would hike through several southern counties.

Qingfeng's initial idea was the same as Qingzizhu's. Considering that the Xuanshou Mountains had not been peaceful in recent years, he hired a commercial empty ship and planned to cross the three southern counties directly. But just as he crossed the Xuanshou Mountains, While flying over Fontaine County, he was attracted by a strange sight.

In fact, it was not just Qingfeng. Anyone who took an empty ship from the north of the empire to the Ruisong Federation in the south, whether it was a caravan or a civilian tourist empty ship or an empty beast, all stopped involuntarily when they passed over Fontaine County. The Xuan Formation gathered around to watch the "giant dragon" entrenched in the sky of Fontaine County.

The dragon-shaped building is lifelike, like a giant dragon coming into the world.

Under the giant dragon, there is a Yunluo Lake that is like a pearl, bathed in water.

In front of the lake is a keel-like Great Wall covered with snow. To the north of the Great Wall are the picturesque Five Sacred Mountains, and to the south are newly cultivated fields with lush green crops.

A large number of skilled craftsmen who immigrated to the local area, the unique wine and roasted pigs, the unique blue snow candles on the mainland, and the Xuanjing cannons installed on the Great Wall, no matter what, it shocked Qingfeng. is unparalleled.

"Dad, are you saying that without knowing it, the declining Duke's Palace in the eyes of people in the imperial capital has made a fortune in the three southern counties of the empire?" If these words were not said by Qingfeng himself, Qing Zizhu would really I thought the other person was joking.

It is not difficult to explain why the Duke's Palace has such a huge wealth and secretly made a huge bet of two million.

It is not difficult to explain why a seemingly inconspicuous seventh-level mysterious beast has a summoning sacred weapon hidden in its body.

Qing Zizhu didn't expect that he would fall into the hands of the Duke's Palace. He was very unwilling and thought about how to take revenge.

"And I also found out that when we were in the Five Saints Town, the young lord from the Duke's Palace formed a mercenary team with your mother Chixi. This time, not long after Chixi came back, the Duke's Palace and Yanyue There was a conflict between the Chamber of Commerce, and presumably it was because of your mother. "Qingfeng is an old businessman. He is many times deeper than Qingzizhu, who was just starting out. After a little speculation, he had another idea in his mind. perhaps.

"You bitch," Qing Zizhu snorted coldly, "Dad, are we just going to let the Duke's Palace bully us?"

"Huh, dreaming. Although the three southern counties have begun to become rich and powerful, after all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. It will take some time for the Duke's Palace to directly rely on the three southern counties to become rich and powerful. But I heard that the Shang Kingdom is in turmoil these days, and they The former prince suddenly returned to the Shang Kingdom to stage a coup. That boy is also ambitious. If the coup succeeds, I am afraid that the three southern counties will be unstable." Qingfeng was cunning and had already inquired about some of the Shang Kingdom's internal affairs.

The Shang Kingdom is small and weak. If it really changes its ownership this time, it will definitely expand.

With such a wealthy neighbor, if he were the French Prince, he would definitely target the three southern counties after successfully seizing power.

Besides, the young lord of the Duke's Palace is also restless. He has only been in the imperial capital for a short time, but he has offended the Ji family of the Ministry of Hubu, and their Yanyue Chamber of Commerce, if they are too sharp, they will die easily.

"You kid pretend to be a grandson and go apologize to your mother and pretend to make peace. This time, our prosperous shop did not take action. The Duke's Palace must be unwilling to do so. You will take several of our properties on Linlan Street. As a favor to the Duke's Palace, ostensibly to settle the relationship with them first. After they have spent a lot of effort to build a shop on Linlan Street, they will hire local prostitutes to extort money and make them lose their money. No return," Qingfeng touched the two curls of his beard around his mouth with a scheming look on his face.

After Qing Zizhu heard this, he was immediately elated.

It is already impossible for him to resolve the feud between him and the Duke's Palace.

I heard that Ji Yun also wants to deal with the Duke's Mansion. In this way, if the two villains join forces, they won't have to worry about the Duke's Mansion being destroyed.

Qing Zizhu thought to himself that he wanted to see how long the Duke's Palace could remain proud under attack from two sides.

Qing Zizhu's sudden compromise and the sincerity shown by the Yanyue Chamber of Commerce made things develop far away from Yue Jinghua's expectations.

Not only did the Qing Mansion repay the debt, Qing Zizhu also came to apologize in person, kowtowed to Chi Xi three times, and offered to take Chi Xi back to the Qing Mansion. In addition, he also took out more than ten stores on Linlan Street as an apology. As well as a gift of thanks, thanking Yue Jinghua for taking care of Chi Xi during this period.

Chi Xi persuaded Yue Jinghua to take over those stores, but she did not agree to Qing Zizhu and return to Qing Mansion.

"I am very happy that Zizhu can call me mother again, but when I return to Qing Mansion, I will never mention it again." After Chi Xi recognized his son, he seemed to have become ten years younger overnight, and his whole person was glowing. The vitality came, "I also figured it out, I am Chixi, and I only look like a human being when I am a mercenary. How can fighting with women in a deep house compound compare to being a mercenary in the vast sea and sky?" Soldiers come free."

Although Yue Jinghua suspected that the Yanyue Chamber of Commerce and his son had good intentions, after considering the stores in Chixi and Linlan Street, Yue Jinghua decided to put aside the conflict with the Yanyue Chamber of Commerce for the time being.

On this day, Yue Jinghua received a message from Salman, saying that Yue Minzhi would wake up tonight.

Seven days and seven nights have passed. According to Cheng Ying, Yue Minzhi's drug addiction is no longer serious. As long as he takes the last injection tonight, he can wake up safely.

After Yue Jinghua got the news, he secretly left the Dragon Cave while the trainers were not paying attention and rushed to the Royal Hospital. It was time to change his identity with his eldest brother.
