Supreme Martial Artist - Chapter 226
Chapter 0226 Qin Fei’s Choice!
“What …”
All the officials in the hall were shocked. The Emperor actually took out the map of the entire empire and allowed Qin Fei to choose for himself. It was not limited to a prefecture or a manor, but the entire empire!
What if he picks a state? Could it be that he really wanted to confer the title of the entire state on Qin Fei?
Hiss …
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. This was absolutely unprecedented in the history of the empire, For each conferred territory, the emperor would usually take out a prefecture city to choose from. Even those who had made great contributions to the empire would only take out a prefecture city. Moreover, this kind of thing had only happened once in history. That was more than 600 years ago.
Now, the emperor actually took out the map of the entire empire and gave it to Qin Fei to choose. This was of great significance. It was definitely a pioneer.
Qin Fei was also shocked. He had already studied the history of the empire and knew what this represented.
He had never expected that Zhu Li would actually do this. He was simply giving him a big gift!
Of course, no one would have thought that Qin Fei would choose the imperial capital as his territory with the map in hand. Wasn’t that just looking for excitement?
Qin Fei looked at Zhu Li and saw him looking at him with a smile. He thought to himself, “What does Zhu Li want?” As an emperor, this intention was definitely not simple!
Moreover, he himself did not want to get involved in the political whirlpool. The better Zhu Li treated him, the more he felt that it was wise to stay away from him.
He carefully looked at the map and finally his eyes lit up. With a poke from his finger, he stopped at a prefecture city.
Seeing this, Zhu Li frowned slightly.
Qin Fei’s choice was completely different from what he had thought. He originally wanted Qin Fei to stay closest to the imperial capital, but who knew that he had chosen the most remote prefecture city?
“Brother Fei, are you sure?” Zhu Li said in a low voice, his eyes shining brightly.
Qin Fei smiled. Since he had already made his decision, he didn’t conceal it anymore. He said in a voice that only Zhu Li could hear, “Brother Li, forgive me. I really don’t like politics. My brain isn’t enough. Please let me go and let me live in leisure!”
“But the empire needs you, I need you!” Zhu Li said softly.
“Brother Li, you can rest assured. As long as there is anything in the empire and you have anything to do, I will definitely rush over to help you even if there are countless mountains and rivers! We are brothers!” Qin Fei laughed.
Zhu Li straightened his body and looked away from the map. He took a deep breath and looked at the officials in the hall.
The officials were curious as to where Qin Fei had chosen. Just now, they saw that Qin Fei and His Majesty the Emperor had been whispering for a long time. Of course, no one dared to eavesdrop. Who would dare to eavesdrop on the Emperor’s words?
“I officially declare that Beixuan City is the territory of the capital king!” Zhu Li announced the results.
Beixuan City?
Most of the officials were stunned. What kind of place was Northern Profound City? Prefecture City or Continent City? However, it seemed that there were no prefectures and prefectures with this name. Could it be a county city?
Everyone was fiddling with what was in their minds, trying to figure out where Northern Mysterious City was.
Most of these officials lived in the imperial capital for a long time. Although they were familiar with the cities within the empire, they could not remember where the Northern Profound City was.
In the end, the finance minister suddenly patted his thigh and said, “I know. It’s a small city, not even a county city. It’s really unimaginable that Lord Zhendu chose such a place as his territory!”
A nameless city under the county?
Everyone was stunned, staring at Qin Fei in shock, their hearts trembling.
The capital king actually chose an unknown city as his territory, shocking everyone.
What was even more shocking was that His Majesty the Emperor did not stop them, instead announcing the results.
What was going on? Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor is giving up on Lord Zhendu? Why else would he be given such a territory?
Everyone’s speculation did not affect the outcome, and Zhu Li could only accept Qin Fei’s decision.
As the meeting dissipated, the crowd was still discussing. The way they looked at Qin Fei was full of weirdness. Everyone felt that he must be crazy.
Qin Fei was left behind by Zhu Li.
“Brother Fei, your decision surprised me. Can you tell me what you think?” Zhu Liwei frowned.
At this moment, the two of them were in a side hall. They were the only ones standing there, and the servants were all pushed back.
“Brother Li, I know that you value me and want me to stay in the imperial capital, but you also know that I am just a pill refiner and a reckless man. You told me to fight and refine pills, and I am more than capable. But you told me to govern the country, so how can I have that ability? As a person, I actually just want to live a quiet and free life. I don’t like to be bound. In my opinion, power is truly tempting, and the price of freedom is even higher! I just want to be an ordinary person, a simple life, watching the sunrise and sunset every day, raising flowers and plants, that’s enough! “And you know that my father and grandfather were murdered by the adulterers and were poisoned by strange poison. I have to search for spiritual medicines everywhere to save them. I’m afraid I’m really powerless about the empire. I’ve also thought of it. Once I save my father and grandfather, I’ll stay in Beixuan City. Of course, as long as you need me for anything, I will definitely come as soon as possible!” Qin Fei said with a smile.
Zhu Li nodded and his eyes lit up. He said, “Brother Fei, what about your teleportation array? The empire needs teleportation arrays. The four races might attack the empire’s borders at any time. With teleportation arrays, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!”
Qin Fei’s heart skipped a beat. He was here. Zhu Lishi still refused to let him off. He had another idea on the teleportation array.
He thought for a moment and said, “Brother Li, the teleportation array is very complicated. It is impossible to learn it in a short time. There are too many things involved. I can’t explain it clearly for a moment!”
“Mm, I’ll think of a way! You can go back first.” Zhu Li frowned. He had witnessed how complicated the teleportation formation was. He had followed Qin Fei to set up the formation to deal with the Eldest Prince. He originally wanted to learn it. He didn’t know that no matter how Qin Fei taught him it, he wouldn’t be able to comprehend it. In the end, he gave up.
Qin Fei left the imperial palace and arrived at the Zhendu Palace!
The Zhendu Palace was a large mansion that Zhu Li had specially given him after he was conferred the title of Zhendu King. In fact, this mansion belonged to the former Minister of Military Affairs. However, that fellow rebelled with the First Prince. In the end, he did not get any benefits, and instead, his head was chopped off.
Zhu Li had also specially arranged many guards and maids for him to make the huge mansion look very lively. Bu Zhi had also sent some followers to help guard the mansion.
After entering the hall, a maid immediately served hot tea.
Qin Fei frowned. Just as he sat down and took a sip of tea, he heard the guard report that Bu Zhi was visiting.
He hurriedly stood up and greeted Bu Zhi. He invited Bu Zhi into the hall and sat down. Then, he waved away the maids and guards.
“Teacher, are you looking for me for something?” Seeing Bu Zhi’s hesitant expression, Qin Fei couldn’t help but ask.
“Ah … I don’t know what to say. You did the right thing this time, and you did the wrong thing!” Bu Zhi sighed, his voice filled with worry.
“Teacher, your words are too heavy. My choice, Your Majesty can’t be angry because I don’t have a good territory, right?” Qin Fei smiled. He finally understood what Bu Zhilai meant. It seemed that the news of him choosing Northern Mysterious City as his territory had already spread everywhere. He already knew about it so quickly.
“Ah, accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. As subjects, we have to figure out the king’s intentions and make any decision according to the king’s wishes. If you do this, although on the one hand His Majesty will think that you are not greedy for riches and honor, on the other hand, it also gives His Majesty a warning, that is, you do not want to be used by him. It would be fine if you were an ordinary person, but your teleportation array is the biggest reason for His Majesty to suspect you! “For a thousand years, teleportation formations have been legendary existences. However, you managed to create them and display your divine might. You have made great contributions to the Great Prince’s rebellion and demonstrated the unparalleled ability of the teleportation formations. Do you think His Majesty will give up so easily?” Bu Zhi asked worriedly.
Qin Fei smiled and said, “Teacher, don’t worry. His Majesty has already told me that he will not give up on the teleportation array. He is thinking of a solution!”
“Ah? His Majesty told you so?” Bu Zhi said in surprise.
