Supreme Martial Artist - Chapter 285

Chapter 0285 Morning!
Soon, he arrived in a stone room. A golden light shone. Qin Fei narrowed his eyes and adapted to the dazzling golden light. He couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air when he saw the room.

It was heaven-defying. There were simply countless treasures hidden in this stone room. Although it was not as exaggerated as the secret room of Yongsheng Auction House, it was still quite different.

The gold coins were scattered randomly on the ground. Some of the gold notes were scattered among them, and some exquisite jade artifacts were placed in a crooked manner, as if no one had come to sort them out for a long time.

Qin Fei frowned. Ever since he saw the rockery, he felt it was strange. It was as if no one had been here for a long time, and there was an old aura everywhere.

The floor of the secret room was also covered in dust, not even a single footprint. This clearly indicated that no one had been here for a long time.

He casually picked up a gold coin and looked at the back. It was actually a hundred years ago. Only then did he realize that this place had existed for at least a hundred years. That was why no one had come.

It seemed that even Yu Dehai did not know that there was such a place.

“Smelly fellow, there it is! The Profound Spirit Cauldron!” Xuan Ling’er flew out and cheered as she flew towards the small mountain of gold coins.

Within the golden pile, an ancient and ancient color appeared. It was surprisingly the Profound Spirit Cauldron.

Qin Fei was overjoyed as he hurriedly walked past the gold coins and saw the sixth fragment of the Profound Spirit Cauldron.

He hurriedly put it away and quickly fused with it. The aura on the entire Profound Spirit Cauldron became even more powerful and surged, emitting an even more ancient and ancient aura.

Since this secret room had no owner, Qin Fei naturally wouldn’t be polite. He put all the valuable items into the Cosmos Bracelet and left the secret room contentedly.

Now that Beixuan City was under construction, He needed a large amount of gold coins. In the past, almost all of the wealth Qin Fei had obtained had been filled in. Fortunately, his trip to the imperial capital had yielded great results. Not only had he found the fragments of the Profound Spirit Cauldron, he had also solved the problem of funds. He calculated that the gold coins and notes he had obtained today were enough to support the construction of Beixuan City. There was even more than enough.

Returning to the palace, Qin Fei felt a little puzzled. Could it be that the fragment of the Profound Spirit Cauldron in the secret room was not found in the palace? Or another fragment?

Right now, he had no clue. He couldn’t figure out the situation. He still had two fragments. He didn’t know where to find them. Now, he could only hope that Lei Zhen could buy them. It was best if he could buy them.

The next day, Zhu Li sent Steward Zhu to summon Qin Fei into the palace early in the morning to meet the messenger sent by the Grassland Khan and prepare to discuss specific matters.

When Qin Fei arrived at the main hall, the court officials had already arrived. They were whispering to each other. When Yu Dehai saw Qin Fei coming, he immediately smiled flatteringly. Qin Fei nodded and smiled at him. Only then did Yu Dehai relax. It seemed that the matter yesterday had been resolved.

When the ministers saw Qin Fei approaching them, the emperor arrived and everyone stood in their seats. They were silent and lowered their heads quietly, not daring to utter a single word.

Zhu Li stepped onto the dragon chair and sat down. He ordered Qin Fei to put a chair under his left hand. Then, he looked at the crowd with dignity and said, “The main purpose of the court meeting this morning is to discuss the grassland people’s surrender. Everyone from the Qing Clan can express their opinions now. Once the result is confirmed, the messenger of the grassland Khan will be introduced to Gu!”

‘”Your Majesty! I thought this was a grand occasion. Under Your Majesty’s wise leadership, the empire has grown bigger and bigger. Even the grassland people have bowed their heads and bowed. Your Majesty’s kindness is immense. I feel that we can accept the grassland people’s investment in the city!” Yu Dehai took the lead and said.

“Your Majesty, I don’t agree with Lord Yu’s final statement, Your Majesty is wise, even more emperor, but this is hard to guarantee will not be the grassland people slow down! Perhaps they are secretly training their troops and invading our empire at the right time! Therefore, I think that we must not trust their tricks. Instead, we should take advantage of the fact that the new Khan has just assumed the throne and his foundation is unstable to send an army to destroy the grassland people and give them a fatal blow to firmly control the grassland in our hands, so as to prevent future troubles! ” A general stood out, his tiger eyes shining brightly. This person was the newly appointed Marshal of the Empire, Chen Nan Xun!

“Marshal, nonsense, the grassland people have long been shaken by the might of our empire, how can they still resist? They are willing to surrender. Our empire surrendered without spending a single soldier. In this way, the empire does not need to spend a penny, nor do the warriors need to die. Isn’t this a great fortune under heaven? Once a war is launched, the people will suffer. Can you bear this responsibility? Yu Dehai retorted, his eyes glaring at Chen Nan Xun, his face flushed red.

At this moment, several civil servants stood out in support of his decision.

What Yu Dehai said actually made sense. The so-called war was just a game between the upper echelons. In the end, the ones who suffered were the civilians. The ones who died were also the heroic soldiers on the battlefield. The Emperor was just a bystander. He just smiled as he watched the changes in the wind and the clouds and pointed at the rivers and mountains.

That was why these officials felt that war should be avoided. Their worries for the country and the people were evident in their words.

However, generals also had their own considerations. On the spot, generals jumped out to accuse Yu Dehai and the other civil servants, who only knew how to talk on paper and did not consider the actual situation at all.

It was understandable for them to do so. Soldiers existed for the sake of war. They protected the country and wiped out the invaders. There was no war for these years. To be honest, the generals felt that their status was getting weaker and weaker. His Majesty did not attach importance to them. The governance of the empire was practically carried out by these civil servants. The generals were idle all day and almost went crazy.

These military generals wished they could catch a few people in the field to fight to show that their precious sabers weren’t old, but they hadn’t fought for many years, so where would they go to show off their strength?

The generals wanted to attract His Majesty’s attention and obtain important uses. Only war was the place where they displayed themselves. Without a battlefield, they would not have a lively stage where they would be suffocated.

Qin Fei couldn’t help but curl his lips. Who were these people? The main hall was simply a vegetable market. Saliva flew everywhere. Look at the civil servants, all of them rolling up their sleeves and holding the corners of their robes as if they wanted to fight. The generals were all red-eyed, panting heavily, and filled with murderous intent. It seemed like they could really do it at any time.

“Alright, all of you, please calm down. Can’t you talk properly if you have something to say? Where are your usual gentlemanliness? Marshal, Lord Yu, all of you, stop!” Zhu Li looked on coldly for a long time, and when he saw that the situation was about to go out of control, he said slowly.

As soon as he spoke, the hall was completely silent, and none of them dared to breathe. They waited quietly for His Majesty the Emperor to speak.

“Lord Zhendu, do you have any suggestions?” Zhu Li looked at Qin Fei, turned his body sideways, and sat down in a comfortable position.

Qin Fei knew that he would definitely come out in the end. In fact, he had already made preparations last night and cleared his throat. He said, “Your Majesty, I think what they said makes sense. The Prairie people truly surrender, so we should be sincere. Otherwise, we will attract the jokes of the world and say that our empire does not have the demeanor of a great power!”

Hearing this, Yu Dehai was overjoyed. He thought to himself that he had done a good job yesterday. Lord Zhendu must be very satisfied with him, so he was helping him now.

Thinking about how he would be able to climb the towering tree of Lord Zhendu in the future, he raised his head and looked like a cockfight with an incomparably happy expression.

When the generals of the military saw that Lord Zhendu had actually said something to help the civil servants, they all snorted coldly, their faces extremely ugly.

“But” Qin Fei paused for a moment before getting up from his chair and walking into the hall. He turned around to salute Zhu Li Xing and said, “But our Xuanling Empire is built on martial arts! Thinking back to the time when the founding emperor, Emperor Xuanling, had merged all the powers like scattered sand one by one, how amazing was that feat that no one had been able to surpass! The empire was founded on martial arts, The Prairie people have always stared at our Empire’s tigers, This time, he suddenly surrendered, The truth is, I’m not sure yet, We must not chill the defectors, But I can’t let this lowly person have a chance to take advantage of it, So Your Majesty, I suggest that we accept their surrender, While secretly sending people to the grasslands, Find out, As a result, to determine if they’re real or not, What’s more, I’m a little worried that the people of the grasslands believe in the Longevity Religion. Khan is a worshipper, but I don’t know what their Longevity Religion is thinking. If necessary, I think we should retreat by advancing. I’ll take this opportunity to propose a condition for their messengers to disband the Longevity Religion. When the time comes, we’ll see how Khan reacts and we’ll know if they’re sincere or not! “
