Hearing such a secret, the middle-aged man's expression was a little subtle, obviously he didn't believe the words of the Grand Duke of the Blood Race.
He looked away from the box containing the source blood, and said: "We have not fully explored the twenty-seven continents until now, and the topmost continent has not yet set foot on it. The new world you are talking about , where is it?"
Facing the doubts of the middle-aged man, the Grand Duke of the Blood Race showed no signs of disbelief, and said with a smile, "I don't believe it. But since my Patriarch has already promised such a big price, it can't be a joke, right? If it was really a joke, the price would be a bit higher."
The middle-aged man nodded, thinking it was the same reason. He pointed at Yuan Xue and said, "The deposit is Yuan Xue, so what about the reward?"
The Grand Duke stretched out a finger and said, "One is a drop of green blood from Zhao Jundu."
The middle-aged man said indifferently: "What's the use of a drop of green blood?"
The Grand Duke said: "You don't know about this. With Zhao Jundu's current cultivation, he can only extract three drops of green blood at most. One drop is used as the key to open a new world, one drop is kept by the Lord, and one drop is given to you. "
"There are only three drops in total? Then why not wait for his cultivation to improve a little bit before refining?"
The Grand Duke sneered and said, "If he becomes a god general, how can he be restrained? What special means can you come up with to kill him?"
The middle-aged man choked and nodded slowly. A genius like Zhao Jundu can challenge several levels in the general stage, and it would be very difficult to kill them on the frontal battlefield without some preparation. Once you break through the gate of the god general and get one or two special abilities, it's like an eagle soaring to the sky and a fish returning to the sea. Even if the majesty personally intercepts it, it will take a lot of effort.
The Grand Duke said again: "Secondly, the gate of the new world appears for a short time. Once the force tide passes, the opportunity may be lost. The next force tide will be hundreds of years later, and no one knows whether it will still be there by then. There will be opportunities to discover new worlds."
"What use is this drop of blue blood to me?"
"Didn't your human race already have a way to absorb the original crystal? You can just use it. The green blood can improve the talent potential, which is far from being comparable to the original crystal. You should be familiar with this kind of method, sir?"
The meaning in his last sentence was to ridicule the human race's proficiency in internal fighting. The middle-aged man pretended not to hear it, and remained silent.
The Grand Duke was a little impatient, and said: "What else is there to think about? A drop of blue blood is equivalent to one-third of Zhao Jundu's bloodline strength. With it, even a waste can become a god general, and an ordinary god general can be promoted to a high position." A divine general. It’s just that he can’t enter the Heavenly King Realm.”
The middle-aged man let out a sigh of relief, and said: "The blood is one, it is true that you have studied it more thoroughly."
The Grand Duke said: "The second thing is a drop of prince-level blood, which is confirmed to come from the blood of twelve ancient clans."
The middle-aged man nodded.
"As for the third..." The Grand Duke immediately took a piece of paper, wrote down two names, and handed it over.
The middle-aged man looked at it, frowned and said, "These are the two dukes of the nerubian and the demon descendant, right? What's so special about them?"
The Grand Duke smiled and said: "These two are quite outstanding in commanding the fleet. It seems that the imperial guard fleet of your empire has never taken advantage of them."
The middle-aged man pondered for a while, and said, "Indeed."
The Grand Duke stared into the eyes of the middle-aged man, and said slowly: "I don't care if you are really just the right minister's subordinate, or the right minister himself. My master knows that the right minister is also a person who works day and night for the human race and the empire, so he Send these two fleets to you. Eat them, and your battle situation on the floating land will be fundamentally changed. If you still can’t win this way, then you can’t blame us.”
This time, the middle-aged man was finally moved and said, "What does your lord mean?"
"We will tell you all the information about the actions of these two fleets, and arrange for them to take appropriate actions at the appropriate time."
These words are very clear, the middle-aged man's expression changed, he pondered for a long time, still hesitating.
When the Grand Duke saw it, he said: "Although your human race has lost a peerless genius, but forgive me for saying something harsh, we always produce one or two such geniuses every few years in Yongye. However, the vast majority of them either died halfway, or did not grow enough. There are so many resources, it is impossible to let every genius grow to the limit, and how much they can grab is also their ability."
"That statement makes sense."
"So, in the same way, whether Zhao Jundu can grow up or not is not a certainty. In exchange for these two drops of green blood, the lord also paid for it. The price we sent is definitely not small. From another perspective, this is like you The human race traded a possible strong man in the future in exchange for current benefits. This transaction has been completed, and the human race can gain a ten-year advantage period. Whether this transaction wins or loses depends entirely on you during these ten years. How to develop."
When the Grand Duke said this, he smiled meaningfully, and said: "I heard that the right minister has the talent to know the world, and he can't make good use of it for ten years, but it can't be justified."
Regardless of his words, the middle-aged man continued to murmur without answering.
The Grand Duke sneered and said: "Once the gate of the new world is opened, the council will definitely try its best to open up the new world. If you lose a floating land, you will lose it. Besides, opening up a new world will definitely involve a lot of energy and resources. If there is no green blood, you will miss it." Now is the time to open up a new world, so these energy resources, needless to say, must be used to deal with your human race. The pros and cons of it, you think about it yourself!"
The middle-aged man finally raised his head, and said calmly, "Then it's settled. However, I want to eat those two fleets first."
The Grand Duke laughed, and said: "Your appetite is really big. However, to show sincerity, I can agree to this condition. The information will be sent over in a few days. This is not a small contribution, you have to arrange it properly!"
"This is naturally saved."
"Then I'm leaving."
The middle-aged man said lightly: "The road is dangerous, and you have hurt yourself again, so you have to be more careful. If you can't return to Yongye, it will be interesting."
The Grand Duke laughed and said: "You can rest assured! There are many people who want my life, but there are also many people who want me to live. Along the way, I will be fine."
"I hope so, see off."
The Grand Duke was sent into the carriage where the middle-aged man had come, and left without haste. The middle-aged man picked up a piece of paper and scribbled down a dozen names on it. If you look carefully, they are all geniuses of the younger generation of the empire, including Ji Tianqing and Li Kuanglan. There are a few more names on the list. an unknown name.
At the top of the list is Zhao Jundu.
But under Zhao Jundu and above Ji Tianqing, there are two other names, one is Song Zining, and the other is rarely known.
He first picked up a pen to cross out the word Zhao Jundu on the top, then he pondered for a long time before he added the word "Li" next to it. There is only one surname and no first name.
He hesitated for a moment, then picked up the pen again, and added Qianye next to the word Li. Looking at the word Qianye, he sighed softly, thought for a long time, and painted out half of the name.
Then following the list, he writes and draws, which is much faster. When it was almost dusk, a piece of paper had been scribbled out of shape.
He read it several times, burned the paper on the candle, and sighed again.
The middle-aged man walked out of the study and ordered: "Prepare the car and go home."
A moment later, a carriage drove out of the manor and drove towards the imperial capital.
As the night darkened, the palace was not peaceful.
Usually at this time, Empress Li should go back to the palace to rest, but tonight, she deliberately moved to Fengwu Palace. This is where she specially meets foreigners in the palace.
There was already someone waiting in Fengwu Palace, and it was the middle-aged scribe who Fang had parted with the Blood Duke not long ago.
Li Hou entered the hall and sat down, his eyes turned on the scribe's face, slightly surprised, and he said slowly: "The right minister is here, and he is not an outsider, why should he change his appearance and cover up? But having said that, the right It seems that the magic of disguise is becoming more and more superb. If I hadn't known it a long time ago, I am afraid that even Ben Gong would not be able to see through your disguise in person."
The right minister stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and his appearance changed instantly, even his figure changed a little, and his demeanor was even more calm and calm, long and profound. He saluted and said, "Thank you, Madam, for your compliment."
Li Houdan said: "It's a bunch of gossip if you come to see me in such a secret way, and let the officials in the court know."
The Prime Minister on the right smiled and said: "Even if I do everything aboveboard, they will still have a lot of gossip. Rather than that, it is better to give some excuses, so that at least they know what they will say about me in the court. It will save them from making a fuss every day. staring at me."
"It also makes sense. Prime Minister Right came here late at night, isn't it just to give people some excuses?"
"Of course not. I really have something important to report."
Empress Li waved lightly, and the maid in the palace retreated to the back of the corridor, and then a faint curtain of light fell, covering Empress Li and Prime Minister Right in it, making them vaguely blurred. In this way, other people can see what Li Hou and the right minister are doing, but they can't hear what they are saying.
"Now we can talk."
The Prime Minister on the right said solemnly: "This minister is here mainly to ask for proof of one thing."
"What is it?"
"I heard that your mother has plans for the future of the Li family, but what is the basis for this plan?"
Empress Li's expression remained unchanged, and said calmly: "What is the basis for what the right minister thinks should be?"
The right minister said: "I heard that a shocking genius will be born in the Li family soon. I don't know if the rumors are true or not?"
There was a chill on Li Hou's face, and after a moment of silence, Fang said: "Only you dare to ask this question. What do you want to know?"
The Prime Minister on the right was not afraid, and smiled and said: "Looking at your mother's expression, this matter will probably not be bad. In fact, Wei Chen's thinking is very simple. I have not made up my mind about what your mother said before. But in the future, the Li family will really have a good relationship." The pillar of the country was born, so what's the point of borrowing my abilities from the Li family?"
Empress Li's hand trembled imperceptibly, and then returned to normal, saying: "The right minister's decision seems to be hasty."
"My minister just wants to add another pillar to the empire and the human race. If the son of the Li family is really talented, then I will definitely help him grow."
Empress Li drank tea, nodding her head imperceptibly.
