Chapter 30: Battle of the West (2)
The empire hangs westward, "Lion King Castle".
Jing Hua soon waited for the enthroned sheepskin edict and the "Imperial Guardian Medal" delivered at the same time. The medal had no practical purpose and only represented the glory granted by the royal family. The story of "Two Letters" was intentionally spread, and His Highness the prince gave the medal for no reason, and the meaning behind it was very clear.
The "Lion King Castle" has many chores, and Jing Hua had no intention of caring about these "small things". He kept his original promise and granted Dongfang Qi the title of baron, with his fief in "Temu City".
This is a symbol of the prosperity of the family, and the Eastern clan is quite satisfied. The Qiu clan got what he wanted and naturally ran around to tell each other and was excited.
Qiu Zhixi was very tactful and immediately announced that the "Temu City" was managed by the head of the family until Dongfang Qi became an adult. While the castle was full of joy, other people with interest could no longer sit still.
In the hall of the Viscount Mansion, Jing Hua received a merchant group from the Adler family. The merchant group was headed by Kushner Adler and brought a large number of armor, food, arrows and weapons. Moran intended to send off the Qiu clan and asked the butler Sarah to guard the door.
"His Excellency Viscount, in addition to shipping the supplies and raising this time, the Adler family also brought gifts. I hope you can set aside time to consider Miss Qiong's future arrangements..."
After a few greetings, Kushner made his request straight to the point. Jing Hua nodded secretly. The Adler family was well-known and seemed very talented in communication and negotiation.
Kushner had only seen him once and quickly found a suitable negotiation method. Jing Hua didn't even want to pay attention to government affairs, spent more time practicing and classics, and was very disgusted with the way he talked around.
The Adler family is very good at "chat". On the same day, he bet with several merchants in the "Millpanburg" competition, but some people bet a little bigger, as if they were dependent on the debt. Kushner held the wine glass and talked with the other party for a while, without mentioning the competition or bet. In the end, the other party looked ashamed and paid for the money to admit the debt.
"The Adler family is a friend of the 'Lion King Castle', and it's about Qiong'er... Aunt Moran?"
Jing Hua turned to Moran, and had already guessed seven or eight points in his heart. Seeing Dongfang Qi's title of title and land, the Adler family also became interested.
Moran stood up and bowed his waist, bowed his head deeply and said, "Old Viscount, Qiong'er is both your sister and a member of the Oriental Family. If she can be awarded the title of baron, the Adler family will be grateful for your generosity..."
Jing Hua smiled slightly and did not answer immediately.
Granting Dongfang Qi the title and fief of the fief is an advance arrangement for the future. Jing Hua will eventually leave Nalan World. Dongfang Qi, as the successor, will carry the battle flag of the "Lion King Castle" in the future.
The title is not Dabaicai. Dongfang Qiong is young and does not have the conditions for a title. The Adler family has always been meticulous in their work and will never be aimless.
"Aunt Moran, the current time seems to be inappropriate. Besides, Qiong'er is still young and doesn't seem to be a vassal..."
"His Excellency Viscount..."
Kushner said in time: "......The news of 'Triumph City' has been heard from the family. Marquis Tywin is very dissatisfied with your refusal to be granted. He did not want to offend His Highness the Third Prince, so he invited Mingkong Arhat from the 'Ji Guang Temple' to invite you to participate in the 'Buddhas' meeting in the Houyue..."
Jing Hua asked in a daze: "'Ji Guang Temple'?'Buddha Yuhui'? What is that? It has something to do with Qiong'er?"
Kushner and Moran were surprised. As a "gray-robed monk", Dongfang Wu did not know "Ji Guang Temple" or the meaning of "Buddha Edict Meeting". The former is just a matter of the "Old God Cult" for thousands of years. Buddhist disciples know it and everyone knows it.
"Your Viscount, 'Jiguang Temple' is a famous temple in the empire. Master Mingkong has reached the level of 'arhat' and is very famous in Xiching. As for 'Buddha's Edict'..."
Kushner was extremely patient, and after explanation, Jing Hua understood most of the time.
It turned out that more than a thousand years ago, several eminent monks and masters from the "Old God Cult" entered a dream together, and saw the "eternal destruction of the filthy land" in the central part of the "Eternal Desolation" with a huge golden light and a huge atmosphere. The original dream was illusory and unpredictable, but what the monks saw was the same, so things were different.
Now the "New God Cult" is rising strongly, and the "Old God Cult" is retreating step by step. The Buddhist community has not issued a "Buddha Imperial" for many years, which has led to the loss of believers and the power has been greatly reduced. The great monks and masters used the dream as the "decree" of the "Land Buddha" and summoned senior officials of the sect to discuss countermeasures.
"Yongyuan Descends the Immortal Land" has a vast territory, and is said to be close to half of the Nalan World. I can't see the specific location clearly in my dreams, and I only know that the golden light appears deep in the Immortal Land.
The Buddhist sect discussed for a long time and finally decided to send a capable disciple to the "Yongyuan Dirt" to investigate the situation. Once the exact news was obtained, the Buddhist general immediately gathered forces from various sects to form a team of monks and went to listen to the "Buddha Order".
Previously, the "Old God Cult" sent people deep into the filthy land five times. All the selected people were Buddhist monks and strong Buddhists. Most of them remained in the "Eternal Destruction of the filthy land" and never came back.
The quiet thousand years passed by, and the "Old God Cult" still had not found the place you saw in your dreams. The "Buddha Order Meeting" was a ceremony before the monks set out all these times. I hope that with the Buddhist event, I would recite scriptures and pray for the selected people, bless them with the safe return and discover something.
Kushner said concisely and mentioned that apart from the "Old God Cult" and the "New God Cult", other forces are also interested in the "Buddha Edict", and seem to have sent exploration teams.
"Mr. Kushner, Marquis Tywin asked the 'Jiuguang Temple' to come forward, and the purpose was nothing more than to deceive me to go to 'Triumph City'. I personally am very grateful to the Adler family for reminding me, but this matter does not seem to involve Qiong'er's title, you..."
Kushner bowed slightly, smiled, and behaved just rightly.
"Of Viscount, the Rotrek family is cautious. Without sufficient reasons, they will not easily turn against other nobles. As far as we know, Marquis Tywin is instigating Baron Frey to challenge the Qiu family. The strength of "Xihe City" is three times that of "Cuiwei City", and Qiu will definitely ask for help from the "Lion King Castle"..."
"oh......"
Jing Hua picked up the teacup casually and lowered his head to taste the tea silently.
The list of guests of the "Buddhist Edict Association" is made public and it is reasonable to be informed in advance. The Krotrek family conspires to deal with it, and the plan will definitely be kept strictly confidential. The Adler family can actually learn it in advance, and the hidden power cannot be underestimated.
Jing Hua didn't know the background of the Foley family, so he only had a little impression of "Xihe City".
It is a big city in the northeast of "Cuiwei City" and can be called a "transportation hub". According to the current strength of the Oriental Family, if the Frey family dares to provoke, the "Lion King Castle" will inevitably attack "Xihe City". The Adler family specifically mentioned this matter. Could it be that they already have plans?
Sure enough, Kushner continued: "...If you take down 'West River City', Marquis Tywin can use this as an excuse to implement follow-up measures. The arbitration rights of 'Lion King Castle' and 'West River City' are all in 'Trium City'. No matter how Marquis Tywin decides, it will definitely be impeccable in law..."
Speaking of this, Kushner and Moran bowed again.
"...so the Adler family asked you to grant "Xihe City" to Miss Oriental, and she would serve as "Xihe Baron."
