Chapter 838

Ji Weiwei Yuan didn't speak, but waited for the rest.

Cui Chengxiao was silent for a long time, and the room was quiet for a long time, to the point that even Cui Yu felt the atmosphere was oppressive and became a bit restless.

After a long time, Cui Chengxiao nodded slightly and said: "The young man has an extraordinary bearing and a determined mind like a mountain; the Grand Void Palace has picked up a treasure. It's a pity you don't have the surname Cui."

"Thank you for the praise, Senior." After saying this, Ji Weiwei Yuan didn't speak again.

Cui Chengxiao coughed and said: "It seems you are waiting for us to set the conditions first. Very well, I will state one point clearly: Qinghe Cui family's full support is the Song Kingdom's full support. Except for the King who doesn't have the surname Cui, the rest all have the surname Cui."

Ji Weiwei Yuan smiled slightly and said: "The Song Kingdom's national strength ranks in the lower-middle among the Nine Kingdoms, perhaps slightly higher than Western Jin, but the Western Jin Northern Army is a battle-hardened army, and their combat power is weak because their weapons are too poor and they lack food and pay all year round. The Song Kingdom has not fought for a thousand years, and the soldiers must be both arrogant and weak; in this difficult land of the Western Regions, I'm afraid it won't be easy to gain a foothold."

Cui Chengxiao said indifferently: "Whether the soldiers are weak or not, we will know after fighting two battles. Even if they are weak to begin with, as long as my Cui family does not avoid battle or fear battle, and fights a few more battles, the waves will wash away the sand, and they will become strong. Moreover, fighting against alien races, weak troops can also become strong armies."

Ji Weiwei Yuan was filled with respect and said: "What Cui Gong said is very true."

"Then is it settled?"

Ji Weiwei Yuan was silent again.

At this time, they faintly felt the shaking of heaven and earth in the room, and then a clear smell of blood drifted past their noses. That was a sign that the Shaman tribe was changing the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and casting blood mantras.

"Does the Domain Lord Wei not need to command the battle?" Cui Chengxiao asked without lifting his eyelids.

Ji Weiwei Yuan also looked at the three feet in front of his toes, picked up his teacup and took a sip, then said: "The generals on the front line fight with the Shaman tribe every day and are already familiar with the Shaman tribe's tactics; they don't need my intervention, they have their own decisions."

"I heard people say long ago that Qingming is already a strong army in the world; today, looking at the leopard through a tube, I know that this statement is not false."

"You praise me, Senior."

The room fell into silence again; Cui Yu narrowed his eyes, not speaking or moving, already wandering away in spirit.

In Ding'an City, Behind Bao Yun was checking the preparation of strategic supplies in the city. The scale of Ding'an City was no longer small now; although it was no longer a first-line position, it relied on the place where the True Person Huang Yun sat and transformed, and was already a place where spiritual wood industries were concentrated in Qingming, and also a transit point for trade with the Shaman tribe, with more than fifty thousand people settled in this city.

Just at this moment, a follower hurried over, presented a report, and said: "Just now, General Cui sent a message through the system, it's an emergency, and you need to open it personally."

Behind Bao Yun opened the report, read it once, and then laughed: "This Senior Brother Cui has also become cunning."

She put away the report, first returned to the City Lord's Mansion, tidied up her appearance, changed into a dress that was luxurious in the details, and the only decoration on her head was a pearl hairpin, hanging seven sea-tribe mermaid pearls. The seven pearls were all spiritual treasures and of the same size.

After getting ready, Behind Bao Yun went to the Immortal City. When she stepped into the room, Ji Weiwei Yuan and Cui Chengxiao were still drinking dull tea, and the attendant was already serving the second jar of tea leaves.

Behind Bao Yun first bowed to Cui Chengxiao and said: "Bao family's Behind Bao Yun, meets Senior Cui."

Cui Chengxiao didn't dare to be slight, stood up and returned the bow, saying: "I have long heard that this generation of the Bao family has produced a proud daughter of heaven, and now seeing her, it is indeed so. In another hundred years, perhaps I will be surpassed by you."

"Senior, you praise me too much." Afterward, Behind Bao Yun turned to Ji Weiwei Yuan and said: "Coming uninvited, the Domain Lord won't blame me, right?"

"Naturally not." Ji Weiwei Yuan called the attendant to arrange a seat for Behind Bao Yun and serve tea.

Behind Bao Yun sat down and said: "Back then, I bet on myself and eloped with you..."

Pfft, even though Cui Yu's determination was considered good, he sprayed a mouthful of tea. Ji Weiwei Yuan and Cui Chengxiao barely maintained their composure, but Cui Chengxiao's eyebrows were jumping, obviously also shocked.

Behind Bao Yun continued: "... The ancestors in the family were helpless and could only recognize this matter, and then took Ding'an City as a betrothal gift. But the Bao family's return was much more than this, as my dowry. I heard that the Domain Lord is going to give up another city, so I came over to listen, to see what's going on. After all, I didn't stay to be the future Island Mistress of Qiongshan Immortal Island, but ran to this difficult land to build a city from scratch with you, so I shouldn't be let down by you."

Cui Chengxiao was a bit embarrassed; Behind Bao Yun's words were clearly meant for him to hear, and even a three-year-old child could hear it.

The problem was that these words made sense; the Qinghe Cui family wanted an enclave, didn't the Bao family want one too? As long as the family strength was sufficient, no one would think they had too many enclaves.

After saying what she should say, Behind Bao Yun didn't speak again and started drinking dull tea.

At this time, Xiaoyu's voice sounded outside the door: "Coming uninvited, Domain Lord, don't blame me."

Cui Chengxiao originally had displeasure flash across his face, but seeing that it was Xiaoyu who came in, although he didn't know him, the Star Lord aura on Xiaoyu was not hidden, and there was faint green light floating between his eyebrows.

Cui Chengxiao had extraordinary eyesight and extensive knowledge, and saw at a glance that Xiaoyu's Dharma Form was an extremely rare Immortal Official descending to the world, and also had great luck on his body. Such people, not to mention coming from top clans, even if they came from humble backgrounds, with so much luck on their bodies, Cui Chengxiao wouldn't dare to kill them even if he were given the chance.

"This is..."

"Xiao family's Xiaoyu, grandfather Xiao Nian." A few words from Xiaoyu explained his background. The identities of the Xiao family's Xiao Nian and the Bao family's Bao Tree were similar; they were both the main figures walking in the world for their respective families, so they were well known to all families, and one mention of their names would reveal they were direct descendants of Immortals.

Saying this, Cui Chengxiao immediately knew and said: "So it is Young Nephew Xiaoyu. The Xiao family held a Dharma Form Ceremony for you back then, and the invitation was also sent to the Cui family."

Xiaoyu was polite for two sentences, and then stared at Ji Weiwei Yuan, his face turning cold, and said coldly: "Ji Weiwei Yuan! When you first achieved Dao Foundation back then, you deceived me into coming to reinforce you from ten thousand miles away with one letter. I achieved Dharma Form, and didn't even care about the family ceremony, and rushed to Qingming, not hesitating to offend the Sword Palace for you. And then you gave me a nominal City Lord title? You didn't even give me a city? Is it that I, Star Lord Shaoyang, am not worthy, or is it that my Xiao family is not worthy?!"

These words were spoken with great force, Ji Weiwei Yuan's face showed shame, and he muttered in his heart, secretly thinking that Xiaoyu was using public office for private gain, and was actually taking the opportunity to scold him.

But as soon as Xiaoyu finished speaking, Star Lord Shaoyang's voice rang in his mind: "Mention the Xiao family is enough, don't mention this Star Lord's name!"

Xiaoyu was startled: "Just to suppress the Cui family, what's wrong with that?"

"Not just wrong?! This Star Lord only ranks eighth, what face do I have to ask for a city? Your Xiao family is worthy, but this Star Lord is not!"

Xiaoyu was suddenly embarrassed, recalling the imposing words he had just said, and wanted to hide under the table. Fortunately, he had also received the true teachings of the Grand Void Palace and often associated with the Heavenly Green Palace, so he had long ago learned the routine of being unmoved when embarrassed, and there was no abnormality on the surface.

Cui Chengxiao said to Ji Weiwei Yuan: "The Domain Lord's arrangement is indeed painstaking."

Ji Weiwei Yuan smiled bitterly: "These two are my classmates from the same session, we all studied together. They are my classmates and close friends, not my subordinates. Senior, this statement is inappropriate."

Behind Bao Yun still had a sweet and faint smile, and said: "Senior, are you saying that I came to Qingming to work for Ji Weiwei Yuan? I will definitely tell this to the ancestor Manshan."

Bao Manshan was famous for being protective and ruthless, and his strength was extremely high; back then, even True Person Xuan Yue was ambushed by him and suffered a small loss, which could be seen.

Although Cui Chengxiao thought highly of himself, he didn't dare to say he could suppress Bao Manshan, so he coughed lightly and said: "The old man was just speaking without thinking, that's not what I meant."

Afterward, he turned to Ji Weiwei Yuan and said: "Now everyone knows the bottom line, if the Domain Lord has anything to ask, you might as well say it directly."

Ji Weiwei Yuan's expression straightened and said: "Then I will say it directly. Can the Cui family's Immortal Ancestor take action?"
