Douluo: Huo Yuhao of the clone style

Chapter 201, changes in the sun and moon
"My dear, I have also paid attention to what you said, ahem..."

The old man sitting on the bed was coughing violently, as if he was about to cough out his lungs.

He even couldn't sit still because he was coughing so hard.

"Your Majesty, let the imperial doctor come in?"

Jing Hongchen immediately stepped forward to support the haggard old man, and at the same time injected soul power into his body to alleviate the symptoms of the Sun and Moon Emperor.

"unnecessary."

The old man waved his hand and rejected Jing Hongchen's proposal.

"If those rubbish were useful, I would have done it long ago. You should stop too."

However, he stopped coughing at this time, and seemed to feel a lot more relaxed because of Jing Hongchen's soul power.

"As ordered."

The emperor looked at Jing Hongchen, and an astonishing pressure came from his withered figure.

Although Jing Hongchen was the top talker in the Sun and Moon Soul Guidance Device Organization, he also noticed some things besides the soul guidance device.

"Where did you talk about just now? By the way, smuggling in the empire, right?"

They will start to pay attention to ordinary people, awaken martial souls for them, and discover any potential soul masters.

At the same time, their children will be more likely to be born as soul masters, and their innate soul power will be higher.

"This gives us a chance."

"Talk about your opinions."

Trying every means to strengthen their own strength is what they will do.

After hearing Jing Hongchen's concerns, the emperor praised him.

"Your Majesty, you mean soul bones?"

"The number of soul bones released by several forces headed by Shrek is significantly higher than in the past."

Whether it is the main body of the empire or individual soul masters, the gold soul coins they smuggled will not be buried in the ground like ordinary people.

"Yes, it's the soul bone."

The emperor sat peacefully on the bed, asking and answering himself.

Jing Hongchen did not dare to neglect at all.

"Although this quantity has not had much impact on the price of soul bones, there is no doubt that they have spent their own money."

"Ai Qing can think of these things more than most people above the court."

Even if he will only be an eleventh level soul master for the rest of his life.

Moreover, the effect of soul bones is more obvious for soul teachers than for soul masters.

Although these low-level soul masters themselves are weak, they can use soul guidance devices.

"The intensification of smuggling is inseparable from the substantial price increase of the Three Kingdoms' soul guidance devices and materials. This price increase is obviously the beginning of the Three Kingdoms' efforts to develop soul guidance devices."

At the same time, the demand for soul master resources by soul guides will further change the attitude of the Three Kingdoms towards civilian soul masters.

But for a soul master, a soul skill is only the least important part of the soul bone.

"But you should also notice that although the empire's soul guide resources flow to the Three Kingdoms, some resources from the Three Kingdoms also flow to the empire."

Their national power will grow at an unimaginable speed.

"Yes."

"Even though they are relatively short of resources and the number of soul masters is not as good as ours, these will change with the development of soul guidance devices."

In this way, the group of soul masters in the Three Kingdoms will develop rapidly.

Jing Hongchen nodded.

The emperor handed a piece of information to Jing Hongchen and spoke at the same time.

For ordinary combat soul masters, the most important thing about a soul bone is one more soul skill.

You know, the soul beast resources and human resources of the Three Kingdoms far exceed them!
These things are what Jing Hongchen is afraid of.

Just like the past sun and moon.

The extra soul power that can be stored in soul bones is the focus of the mainstream soul teachers of Sun and Moon.

After the group of soul masters grows, new soul masters will naturally bring soul guides with them and spread to all walks of life.

The best way to strengthen a soul master is soul bones.

Technological advances have made it possible to mine deep minerals that were previously inaccessible.

Jing Hongchen honestly withdrew his soul power and at the same time withdrew his hand holding the emperor.

In this way, resources that were originally difficult to develop and utilize will be further captured by the three countries.

By then, let alone waiting for the opportunity to seize the mainland, it would be good if the empire was not pushed back by the Three Kingdoms.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

This bit of soul power is just a soul skill in the hands of a soul master, but it has unlimited possibilities for the soul master.

At the same time, the addition of soul bones to physical fitness can effectively reduce the difficulty of training as a soul mentor.

It also allows them to pursue stronger soul rings, further facilitating the future development of soul mentors.

That's why the emperor said that this was their opportunity.

This is an excellent opportunity to make up for the empire's high-level combat capabilities.

"It's a pity that the empire failed to snap up many."

Jing Hongchen looked through the information with some regret.

Compared to soul guides, soul bones are too versatile and their bonuses are too excellent.

Not to mention that even if it is not absorbed, it can still be photographed and left for posterity.

Therefore, all the soul bones released by the three parties were snapped up in an instant, and they gained very little from the sun and the moon.

"There are still opportunities ahead."

The emperor said nonchalantly.

As long as the Three Kingdoms still want to develop soul guidance devices, the empire will definitely have a chance.

Whether it is gold soul coins or soul guide resources, their advantages far exceed those of other forces.

"So, your Majesty means not to interfere with their smuggling industry?"

Jing Hongchen put down the information and looked at this fragile yet powerful old man.

"Of course we have to intervene, but the focus is on high-level soul guidance device resources, whether they are blueprints, materials, or finished products, we must step up the blockade."

What Sun and Moon want is to take this opportunity to dig out the foundation of the Three Kingdoms to strengthen themselves.

Instead of really allowing the Three Kingdoms' soul guides to develop.

Low-end soul tools are fine, but high-level ones are not.

Especially those that use the Empire's latest technology, none of it can be revealed.

"Your Majesty is holy."

Jing Hongchen complimented.

'Sage? Haha, that’s really ironic. '

However, the emperor did not accept Jing Hongchen's praise in his heart.

Only he knows the reason.

There is only one reason for not completely blocking the smuggling industry, and that is because it is too large.

Originally, the development of this industry was indispensable without the work of the nobles near the border of the Sun and Moon Empire.

And now, it's more than just nobles.

In their territory, from soul masters to ordinary people, there are only a few who do not participate.

Moreover, this coverage is still extending into the empire.

Even their royal family couldn't resist the temptation of this amazing profit.

What could he, a mere Emperor of the Sun and Moon, do to stop this carnival in which most of the dignitaries in the capital were participating?

Even if it is just a resource restriction for high-level soul tools, it is estimated to be very difficult to implement.

They have never let go of these things before.

But the Three Kingdoms still got the ninth-level soul guide.

However, the emperor would not give Jing Hongchen any explanation for these things that would shake his power.

Especially now that he is getting weaker.

"By the way, Aiqing, how have you handled the matter regarding that organization?"

Putting aside these unpleasant things, the emperor began to pay attention to the Holy Spirit Cult.

The news that came from the Mingdou Mountains before, whether it was true or false, gave them a chance to test it.

So he handed this matter over to the right person on his side.

That person is Jing Hongchen.

"Your Majesty, the reason for killing him is because the military in the Mingdou Mountains has a problem and it has nothing to do with them." Jing Hongchen immediately lowered his head and said.

"However, they promised that if they need to cooperate with the empire in the future, they are willing to accept the empire's supervision."

"A supervisory position? For those lunatics, it is hardly a meaningful gain."

The emperor felt a little sorry.

If it were a serious army, the value of a military supervisor would naturally be quite good.

But the psychopaths in that organization, let alone outsiders, even if they are their own people, they will not show mercy if they kill the boss.

The position of supervisor obviously does not have much use other than reporting points.

"This humble minister is not doing his job well, so please, Your Majesty, convict him."

Jing Hongchen immediately confessed.

When he took the job, he knew he wouldn't get much out of it.

After all, at other times, the more common result of this kind of thing is that the two parties keep bickering.

You say that we cannot disobey the order, I say that the facts are in front of you, and then each of you yells in your heart that the other person is mentally retarded.

In this endless exchange of blows, continue to make do.

The result was different this time.

When Zhong Liwu made this concession, Jing Hongchen was even a little surprised.

This can be done directly.

Of course, this kind of thing obviously cannot be said directly to the people above.

Saying so will only make him feel that you are perfunctory with him, and then put a greater burden on you.

So Jing Hongchen directly confessed.

Anyway, I have produced results, you can't still punish me, right?
"Ai Qing took the initiative for the empire, what's the crime?"

Sure enough, just as Jing Hongchen expected, the emperor had no intention of blaming him.

"Not to mention, the empire has to reward the beloved. With this condition, it will be much easier for the empire to deal with them in the future."

After all, their sun and moon are still one country.

What a country needs most is undoubtedly stability.

These evil soul masters from the Holy Spirit Sect who kill people at will and practice martial arts will have to be dealt with sooner or later.

The conditions that Jing Hongchen brought back were enough for them to take the initiative at that time.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

This could also lead to some rewards, which Jing Hongchen didn't expect.

But considering the current appearance of the emperor, it is probably to stabilize himself and prevent him from starting to take sides, right?

Jing Hongchen could guess the general reason without using his brain.

But he still pretended to be ignorant and expressed his gratitude to the emperor.

This made the emperor very satisfied.

"By the way, Your Majesty, the previous rumors about them may be true."

After accepting the emperor's reward, Jing Hongchen continued to report.

What he was referring to was naturally the rumor that the Holy Spirit Sect had suffered a huge loss at the hands of Shrek Academy.

Because the news was so outrageous, they even thought it was fake news released by Xing Luo.

But some exchanges with Zhong Liwu allowed Jing Hongchen to catch something.

"So that's the case. It's no surprise that they gave this condition."

The emperor smiled disdainfully.

Sure enough, this group of people can only dominate people who are weaker than themselves.

Facing a force like Shrek, even if he suffers a loss, he can only behave with his tail between his legs.

Their high-level combat power was blinded in vain.

Thinking of this, the emperor had a new idea.

"Those who will go to Shrek for exchanges in the future may be able to choose some students who are close to breakthrough."

"Your Majesty, you mean to use Shrek's soul beast resources to develop?"

Jing Hongchen instantly understood the emperor's thoughts.

"The gold soul coins the empire earns from them will naturally be used on its own people."

The emperor said so.

"Not just Shrek, you can also try some other abnormal channels."

Soul bones are one thing, but more excellent soul rings are also the key to the empire cultivating high-level combat power.

The empire pinched its nose and tolerated those people jumping around on its territory.

Isn't it because the current high-level combat power cannot compare with the Three Kingdoms?

If it can surpass the Three Kingdoms in terms of army and high-level combat power, no, even if the high-level combat power is only tied.

Now it's time for the empire to drive them to the Three Kingdoms and unleash their final value.

"Wei Chen knows."

Jing Hongchen nodded and decided to treat this matter as the academy's top priority.

The soul beast resources of the Three Kingdoms, even in the Star Dou Forest, are enough to be envied by the soul masters of Sun and Moon.

All kinds of spirit beasts with high age and excellent bloodline are emerging one after another as if someone helped to cultivate them.

Now, it's time to take advantage of the price increase in the Three Kingdoms soul tool industry to make a profit from him.

"Okay, now that we're done talking about business, why don't you talk to me about family matters, my dear?"

The emperor changed his attitude and asked with a kind expression.

Like he was really so kind.

"Wei Chen dare not."

Jing Hongchen subconsciously felt something was wrong and immediately refused.

What family matters can he discuss with the emperor?
It can't be a marriage, right?

That would be too dangerous.

"It's just a casual chat, don't resist like this."

But the emperor not only did not stop, but started talking to himself.

"My dear, why don't you tell me, among my sons, who do you like more?"

"I'm afraid I don't have much time left. For the sake of the empire, I have to choose a suitable successor."

The emperor looked like he was thinking about the sun and the moon.

But as soon as his words came out, Jing Hongchen suddenly woke up.

Damn it, this is testing him.

"Your Majesty needs to make your own decisions on these matters. I don't dare to speak nonsense."

Jing Hongchen immediately expressed his loyalty.

But he still felt that it was not safe, so he added another sentence later.

"Whether it is Mingdetang or the Hongchen family, we are only loyal to His Majesty."

"Hahaha, Ai Qing is so sincere."

The emperor praised him and let Jing Hongchen go down.

After Jing Hongchen left, the smile on the emperor's face faded and his eyes became deep.

He seemed to be recalling Jing Hongchen's reaction just now.

On the other side, Jing Hongchen breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the palace.

Feeling the cold sweat on his back, he felt a little angry inside.

'Damn it, why do I feel like something is getting wrong with this old thing? '

That last sentence actually made him, a titled Douluo, feel pressure.

Power is really scary.

He can actually make a person who is about to die from illness look like this.

Sure enough, the ideas of the family elders were right. It was better not to participate in these things above the court.

He's joking with you one second, but he's hiding murderous intent the next.

This kind of environment is not what people like them should be in.

Let's go back and give Xiao'er and Meng'er some advice later.

With such thoughts in mind, Jing Hongchen returned to Mingde Hall as if fleeing.
