Chapter 399 Meeting with the Emperor of the Hongwu Empire
After returning to the independent courtyard of the foreign guest reception, Ye Chen asked Ye Huo and Xiao Wu to rest. He entered a closed practice room by himself and prepared to try the effect of the Netherworld Spring, which was as powerful as the legend.
After entering the practice room, Ye Chen arranged a simple warning array at the door, turned his palm, took out the bottle full of Netherworld spring water, opened the cork, took a big sip, and then closed the bottle cap and closed his eyes to practice.
With a stream of Nether spring, entering Ye Chen's abdomen, I saw a stream of pure weather vitality pouring into Ye Chen's Dantian like a tide, and slowly gathered in one place to form a drop of ** true qi.
Feering the changes in Dantian in his body, Ye Chen was overjoyed, with a faint smile on the corners of his mouth.
After Yuanjue entered the third layer, although Ye Chen can operate the skills and absorb the heaven and earth qi between heaven and earth for cultivation, the later it is, the larger the amount of heaven and earth qi required for each drop of ** true qi is condensed. Often a hard day, it may not be able to condense a drop of ** true qi and practice speed. Duqi is extremely slow, so Ye Chen wants to find Tiancai Dibao and quickly improve his cultivation by taking Tiancai Dibao.
And the atmosphere of heaven and earth contained in the Nether Spring is extremely huge. Ye Chen condensed more than ten drops of ** true qi in Dantian in just a minute. How can this not surprise him infinitely?
After feeling the powerful effect contained in the Nether Spring, Ye Chen felt very cost-effective and lucky to buy 1,000 catties of Nether Spring Water with 12,000 billion Shenjing. I don't know how many drops of Nether Spring can help it condense ** true qi and save how much cultivation time it will save!
At the same time, after feeling the powerful effect of the Nether Spring Water, Ye Chen is more interested in the location of the Nether Spring Water. After his strength is strong, he must go to the location of the Nether Spring Water, take a good bath in the Nether Spring Water, and fully absorb the powerful heaven and earth contained in the Nether Spring Water. Qi.
Time was rapidly lost in Ye Chen's practice, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
In three days, Ye Chen also successfully absorbed thousands of catties of Netherworld Spring and turned it into a full 8,000 drops of ** true qi, making his strength soar, making him excited and excited. He made up his mind that he must go to the location of the Netherworld Spring for a good time in the future.
After absorbing the Nether Spring, Ye Chen did not leave the practice room immediately, but focused on some secret combat skills in the Xuantian Treasure Book to improve his combat effectiveness and attack power.
On the seventh day when Ye Chen came to Kyoto, Xiaowu knocked on the door of the practice room and shouted respectfully, "Master Ye, Your Majesty, please let you enter the palace to discuss important matters."
"I know!"
Hearing Xiaowu's shouting, Ye Chen opened his closed eyes, responded calmly, and slowly stood up, casually patted the dust on his body, closed the simple warning array in the practice room, opened the door of the practice room, and walked out.
"Let's go!"
Seeing Xiaowu standing at the door of the practice room, Ye Chen said calmly.
After saying that, Ye Chen walked straight out of the reception center.
At this time, a luxurious carriage stopped quietly in front of the door of the reception center. Under the guidance of Xiaowu, Ye Chen boarded the luxury carriage and galloped straight in the direction of the palace.
The luxury carriage stopped in front of the luxurious and extensive palace. Led by a eunuch who had been waiting for a long time, Ye Chen crossed the gate of the palace and walked towards the interior of the palace.
Under the leadership of the eunuch, Ye Chen came to the door of a living room in the depths of the palace after more than ten bends in the palace.
"You wait a moment, and I'll report to Your Majesty!"
The eunuch left a sentence casually and directly incorporated it into the living room for several meetings.
Seeing that the eunuch left, Ye Chen casually looked at the surrounding environment and found that there were more than ten faint breaths around the living room, which tightly locked himself. Once he had any unfavorable actions against the emperor of the Hongwu Empire, he would be attacked by more than a dozen powerful forces.
"Okay, please follow me!"
After a moment of skill, the eunuch returned to Ye Chen's side and said with a fine face.
Then, under the leadership of the eunuch, Ye Chen entered the living room.
At this time, a handsome middle-aged man in gorgeous silk clothes is sitting on a comfortable animal skin chair with a cup of fragrant tea, quietly tasting the taste of fragrant tea.
"Your Majesty, Ye Chen has brought it!"
Walking to the handsome middle-aged man, the eunuch who led Ye Chen said loudly with a respectful face.
"Ye, I know. Go down!"
Hearing the eunuch's words, the handsome middle-aged man nodded gently and waved his hand casually.
"Don't stand here, please sit down!"
After seeing the eunuch leave, the handsome middle-aged man put down the teacup in his hand, pointed to a leather chair in front of him, and looked at Ye Chen with a smile on his face.
Hearing the words of the handsome middle-aged man, Ye Chen did not hesitate at all, and immediately sat on a leather chair opposite him.
"Ye Chen, first of all, I am very sorry for your assassination in Kyoto City. I promise you that I will severely punish those behind the killers, and that no one will dare to carry out such assassination actions against you in Kyoto City in the future!"
Seeing Ye Chen sitting opposite him, the handsome middle-aged man looked at Ye Chen with a straight face.
Hearing the words of the handsome middle-aged man, Ye Chen was very disdainful and thought that he had no sincerity at all. It took several days for me to assure myself that I would severely punish the people behind the scenes and only ensure my safety in Kyoto City. If I were outside Kyoto City, would anyone assassinate me?
Although Ye Chen was very disdainful, he did not show it on his face, but said loudly with gratitude: "Thank you for your concern. With your words, I am much more relieved! Don't worry about being stabbed!"
Hearing Ye Chen's words, the handsome middle-aged man smiled and did not mention Ye Chen's assassination. He said directly to Ye Chen bluntly, "Ye Chen, the land area and sea area of our Hongwu Empire are very vast. On land, our Hongwu Empire has a strong land army, but in Guangzhou On the vast sea, our Hongwu Empire does not have a decent warship. I don't know if your Wuguo can launch a batch of warships to our Hongwu Empire and let our Hongwu Empire have its own fleet.
After saying that, the handsome middle-aged man looked at Ye Chen with a smile and quietly waited for Ye Chen's answer.
Hearing the words of the handsome middle-aged man, Ye Chen was silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Your Majesty, you should know something about the naval battle between our Wu and the British Empire at sea!" In the naval battle not long ago, although our Wuguo defeated the naval fleet of the British Empire and won the war, it also lost a large number of warships. There are really no extra warships to sell to you the Hongwu Empire.
Speaking of this, Ye Chen saw that the handsome middle-aged man's face remained unchanged, but his eyes were a little cold, so he said slowly and said, "Your Majesty, our Wu Kingdom does not have any extra warships to sell to you to the Hongwu Empire now, but we only need to give us Wu for a period of time, and our Wu's shipyard will come out. To produce a batch of warships, I can take out a batch of warships from this batch of newly produced warships and sell them to the Hongwu Empire and let your Hongwu Empire form a maritime fleet.
Although the formation of a maritime fleet by the Hongwu Empire has no benefit for the State of Wu, but will affect the interests of the State of Wu in the Hongwu Empire, Ye Chen still agreed to the request of the Emperor of the Hongwu Empire and sold a batch of warships to him, because if he does not sell the warships of the Hongwu Empire, the Hongwu Empire will definitely find The British Empire bought warships, which had a greater impact on the interests of Wu in the Hongwu Empire.
Hearing Ye Chen's words, a faint smile appeared on the handsome middle-aged man's face and said, "Ye Chen, how many warships can you sell to our Hongwu Empire, and how long will it take for our Hongwu Empire to accept this batch of warships?"
Ye Chen did not immediately answer the question of the Emperor of the Hongwu Empire, but looked at him with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, our naval fleet of the State of Wu needs a place to berth. I don't know if Your Majesty can lease Shenfeng Port to our naval fleet of the State of Wu."
Hearing Ye Chen's words, the handsome middle-aged man knew that Ye Chen was exchanging conditions with him. If he did not lease Shenfeng City to the State of Wu, the warship Ye Chen promised could never be handed over to their Hongwu Empire. After pondering for a moment, he said with a smile, "No problem, I can take Shenfeng. The city has rented you the Wuguo naval fleet for 99 years, but I don't know when the warship you promised can be sent to our Hongwu Empire.
Seeing that the handsome middle-aged man readily agreed to his suggestion, a faint smile appeared at the corners of Ye Chen's mouth and said, "It only takes a month. One hundred new warships that have just left the shipyard will arrive at Shenfeng Port, and your majesty will send someone directly to receive it."
Hearing Ye Chen's words, the handsome middle-aged man nodded gently and said, "It will take a month to complete the lease procedures of Shenfeng Port. A month later, after the 100 warships purchased by our Hongwu Empire arrived at Shenfeng Port, the lease procedures of Shenfeng Port have been almost completed!"
After discussing the sale of warships and renting Shenfeng Port, Ye Chen shifted the topic to the war between Wu and the British Empire and said calmly: "Your Majesty, the British Empire's maritime fleet arbitrarily plundered our Wu's sea merchants, making our Wu's maritime merchants suffer heavy losses, but also let Your Hongwu Empire has reduced a large amount of taxes, so the British Empire is definitely the common enemy of our Wu Kingdom and your Hongwu Empire. I don't know if Your Majesty is willing to join hands with our Wu Kingdom to fight the British Empire and completely erase the British Empire from the world.
Hearing Ye Chen's words, the handsome middle-aged man shook his head gently and refused loudly: "Ye Chen, our Hongwu Empire will not interfere in the affairs of your Wu Kingdom and the British Empire. Our Hongwu Empire will not care about the war between you! At the same time, as a partner, I would like to give you a kind reminder that the strength of the British Empire is still very strong, and the owner behind it, the Bright Empire, is one of the most powerful forces in our beacon continent. Therefore, our Hongwu Empire will never be in the war between your Wu and the British Empire.
Hearing the handsome middle-aged man say that the master behind the British Empire was the Bright Empire, Ye Chen's face changed slightly and his head ran rapidly.
The Bright Empire is one of the most powerful forces in the beacon continent. It is definitely not what the current Wu Kingdom can provoke. Once the Bright Empire intervenes in the war between the Wu Kingdom and the British Empire, then the Wu Kingdom will be very passive.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen sighed secretly and prepared to return to Wuguo. After contacting the Ye family in the State of Qin, he joined the Hundred Nations Alliance and used the power of the Hundred Nations Alliance to resist the possible attack of the Bright Empire.
The handsome middle-aged man saw that Ye Chen's face changed after hearing about the Bright Empire, and then slowly regained his calmness. There was no fear in his eyes. He immediately thought in his heart: "Sure enough, as I expected, there are many forces behind Ye Chen, but I don't know whether it is the Dark Empire or the Federation of Nations. Alliance."
