dawn of dynasty

Chapter 352 Love History, Grand Duchess Cuisi

Feng Feifei was extremely pleasantly surprised.

Like red jade, purple star crystal is also a special ore used to recruit high-level heroic spirits. Its grade is no lower than that of red jade, and it can be used to recruit up to 12th-level heroic spirits.

In the past two years, the Xia Nan Clan has discovered gem mines. Unfortunately, either the level is not high enough and can only be used to recruit 9th-level and 10th-level heroic spirits, or the scale is small and even if they are mined, they cannot recruit many in total. A heroic spirit.

High-level special gems are hard to find. Not only are the veins rare, but they are also not large in scale. Unlike gold and silver mines, larger mines can be mined for many years.

Therefore, the Xia Nan clan lacks high-level gems. As far as Feng Feifei knows, in the past two years, most of the high-level gems used by the high-level heroic spirits recruited by the Xia Nan clan have been purchased from outside.

But this thing can be called a strategic material, and Xia Nan clan paid a large premium to buy it. This is because Dashuai Shen has hard currencies such as Wujiaxian, Jiazhaishen, and penicillin on hand, plus his high reputation and reputation. Good, those warlord leaders are willing to give him face.

Otherwise, no one would be willing to trade.

Now, experts have discovered the Purple Star Crystal. If the scale is large enough, it can solve the urgent needs of some territories.

"Notify the territory and let people from the Ministry of Mines mine it."

Feng Feifei said quickly.

The purple star crystal mine in front of us is far away from the protection of the mountain god, water god and solar term god. It is impossible to arrange a large number of miners to mine it. Ordinary people simply cannot mine in such an environment - let alone in this environment. We're going into mining. Just walking from Xia Nancheng to this place would kill and injure many people.

Fortunately, this was something that had been discovered a long time ago. The Ministry of Mining has provided a large number of heroic spirits suitable for mining. After training and practical operation, a small number of Apocalypse can control a large number of heroic spirits for mining.

Although the efficiency is not as high as that of a large number of miners, it is not too slow. The main reason is that transportation back and forth is more troublesome.

The discovery of the Purple Star Crystal Mine made Shen Guanye very happy, because the Purple Star Crystal Mine was quite large. According to the assessment of the Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Mining, it could probably be used to recruit two hundred to three hundred level 12 heroes.

This has greatly alleviated the shortage of high-end gemstones in the Xia Nan Clan.

Of course, Purple Star Crystal is only the main material used to recruit high-level heroic spirits. In addition to Purple Star Crystal, it must also be matched with gold, silver, and less precious gems for recruitment.

But these materials are relatively good, such as gold and silver mines. In two years, Xia Nanfang has discovered a lot. Although the scale is far less than the gold mine when he was still in Hongdong County, it is still enough to sustain consumption. of.

However, Shen Guanye soon stopped laughing.

Because the Iris Kingdom intervened again, claiming that they discovered the Purple Star Crystal Mine first. During the conflict between the two parties, they even injured members of the Mining Department who were mining and killed many Mining Department heroes.

If there is still some debate as to who discovered the previous silver mine first, then there is really no dispute about the current Purple Star Crystal Mine.

Xia Nan Valve has been mined for almost half a month, and you, the Iris Country, jumped out and said you discovered it first? It's too disrespectful and bullying!

Shen Guanye can give in to the silver mine. Its value is far less than that of the Purple Star Crystal Mine. The Iris Kingdom does not have to tell lies with open eyes like this time.

But this time, Shen Guanye really felt angry.

He understood what the Iris Kingdom meant, but he just felt that he had offended the Star Kingdom, the Fuso Kingdom and the Bilong Clan, and was currently at war with the Po Warlord, so he would never want to provoke another powerful enemy.

In this case, even if you suffer losses many times, you will endure it.

That's why Iris Kingdom acts so unscrupulously.

But, do you still have to endure it this time?

The last time was because the benefits were not high and the time when the two parties discovered the silver mine was indeed very close. Even if he gave in, his prestige would not be compromised.

But this time, the facts are so clear. If he gives in again, what will the people below think of him?

Since his comet-like rise, he has always been known for his tough and radical personality. If he repeatedly gives in, it will definitely be a huge loss to his personality. Needless to say, the destructive power of the collapse of his personality.

Furthermore, this time he was indeed filled with righteous indignation and was extremely annoyed.

Shen Guanye tends to be tough, but now that the Xia Nan clan has a population of more than two million, the responsibilities on his shoulders are getting heavier and heavier, and it is no longer the time to let his youthful spirit go.

Not only that, after establishing the Xia Nan Clan, he consciously ensured that the Xia Nan Clan would not become his one-spoken institution.

With his strength, qualifications and prestige, if he wanted to, he could easily bring the Xia Nan Clan into unity, but this was not good because he could not guarantee that every judgment and every choice he made was correct.

If everything is done arbitrarily by him, and his subordinates dare not even bring up any opinions or are unwilling to bring them up, sooner or later they will be in trouble.

Therefore, Shen Guanye rarely acts arbitrarily, especially when encountering big things. Even if he is the one who makes the final decision, he will fully listen to the opinions of all parties.

It's the same this time.

On the one hand, he sent more people to support the scene to prevent the people from the Iris Kingdom from getting distracted and to ensure that his troops would not suffer. On the other hand, he immediately convened a high-level meeting. Except for Cen Lingxiao, Professor Lu and others who were too far away, he In addition, even Lu Boxiang and others on the front line received letters.

This meeting was obviously different from the last one. Last time, almost everyone agreed to take a step back to open up the world. It was really not appropriate to break out into a conflict with the Iris Kingdom right now.

But this time, many people advocated never giving in, even if a major conflict broke out with the Iris Kingdom.

Tolerable or unbearable?

Judging from this incident, Iris Kingdom obviously did not receive the goodwill they released last time. Instead, it turned on them and felt that they were weak and expected.

Then, it is not feasible to give in. If you give in this time, there will be another time.

Only by hurting the opponent can the opponent stop.

Besides, the reason why they agreed to make concessions during their last meeting was because they wanted to see what Iris Country would do next? Now, Iris Country's attitude has become obvious, and it can't be done without fighting.

The only thing you need to control is scale.

The other side believes that although the Iris Kingdom has gone too far and may even go further in the future, the current situation in the territory cannot withstand another war.

Controlling the scale of war is simple to say, but actually very difficult.

Once the war starts, what scale it will eventually develop into is completely uncontrollable. What if there is a life-and-death war with the Iris Kingdom?

Perhaps, the Iris Kingdom's successive provocations were intended to provoke a war between the two sides, deliberately creating an excuse to invade Tianxia.

Neither side could convince the other, and the quarrel was extremely fierce.

Shen Guanye couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows.

Both sides made sense, otherwise he wouldn't have hesitated.

At this moment, the door to the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and Lu Boxiang strode in. Everyone present was shocked.

"Why did you come back?"

Shen Guanye was also surprised.

"I rushed back after receiving the letter from you. Commander, I have something to report to you."

Lu Boxiang replied, and his words seemed to imply a private communication with Shen Guanye.

"it is good."

Seeing this, other people in the conference room wanted to give up the room to Shen Guanye.

"No need to go to such trouble, General Lu and I will go out."

Shen Guanye was not so particular. He stopped everyone from getting up and walked into the side hall with Lu Boxiang.

"Based on my understanding of the Iris Kingdom, we can no longer give in this time and must deal with it forcefully."

Lu Boxiang got straight to the point.

Shen Guanye waited quietly for his next words.

"I once studied abroad in the Country of Iris, and I know the Country of Iris quite well, and besides -" At this point, Lu Boxiang's face showed a rare hint of embarrassment, so that at this moment of great anxiety, Shen Guanye still said inappropriately Curiosity arose.

Logically speaking, he would not have such a leisurely mood.

As Lu Boxiang narrated, Shen Guanye's expression became more and more surprised, and finally he even looked at Lu Boxiang with a bit of teasing.

When Lu Boxiang was young, he studied in the Iris Kingdom for a long time, and during his study tour, he had an affair with a noblewoman from the Iris Kingdom.

It would be fine if she was just an ordinary lady, but Lu Boxiang's lover is not an ordinary lady at all. Her status is extremely noble, she is one of the few grand dukes in the Iris Kingdom, and she is The only Grand Duchess.

The Grand Duchess named "Cui Yisi" comes from a family of Apocalypse with a long history in the Iris Kingdom. Before the birth of the heroic spirit, she was already a famous noble in the Iris Kingdom. In history, she once founded a dynasty. Although he lost his throne, he still retained his tyrannical strength.

After the heroic spirit was born, it successively obtained a silver dragon's lair, a green dragon's lair, a sun elf's lair, and an angel's lair. It has strong military force and an impregnable position.

According to rumors, the Grand Duchess Triis was a romantic woman and had numerous lovers. Each lover was of a different type, but the same thing was that they were all handsome men. As for her husband, he was a daughter-in-law and had no real power.

Of course, the Grand Duchess Cuisi did not restrict her husband from having fun, which was quite fair.

To be honest, Shen Guanye was not surprised that Lu Boxiang would be attracted by the Grand Duke. He was not even surprised that Lu Boxiang could get some benefits from her.

Now that he is middle-aged, he is still handsome and charming. There are countless old aunts and girls who admire him openly and secretly.

Even when the ghost sect and the Chixia Gang assassinated Hong Canghai, Shen Guanye vaguely noticed that "Fire Plum Mountain" Jiang Qinfen seemed to have a hint of admiration for Lu Boxiang.

A middle-aged man has such charm. How handsome must he have been when he was young? It’s unimaginable!

In addition, Lu Boxiang already had considerable strength when he was studying abroad.

A young overseas student is so handsome that he is stunningly handsome. He also has good skills and even has a strong exotic style.

I met the Grand Duchess Triis. Actions are normal, but not actions are abnormal!

But what Shen Guanye didn't expect was that the Grand Duchess Cuisi would think so highly of Lu Boxiang. It was very possible that she really fell in love with him, and the two people actually had a deep and profound love for each other.

Because the silver dragons, sun elves, night elves, moon elves, and star elves in Lu Boxiang's hands came from the gifts of Grand Duchess Cuisi!

He has always been curious about how the brothers Lu Boxiang and Professor Lu came to have so many high-level forest-type heroic spirits. They even own a silver dragon - it is rare in the world for a 12th-level master to possess a 14th-level heroic spirit.

Now, finally, we have the answer.

All I can say is that the word love is too mysterious and no one can say it for sure.

It stands to reason that Duke Cuisi has countless lovers, and men are just playthings in her eyes. In comparison, it is much more important to give birth to a child of Lord Apocalypse as soon as possible.

It is really unexpected that such a person can have true feelings and fall in love with a foreign man.

Because of such a relationship, Lu Boxiang has a very good understanding of the upper echelons of the Iris Kingdom and the domestic situation - to this day, he has not cut off his contact with Grand Duke Cuisi.

If the two of them had parted ways long ago, then given the personalities of Lu Boxiang and Professor Lu, they would not be able to use heroic spirits such as silver dragons and sun elves with peace of mind.

In Lu Boxiang's heart, he regarded Grand Duke Cuisi as his wife, even though the relationship between the two was difficult to show openly.

This was also the reason why he had never agreed to any of the countless women, young and old, who had secretly flirted with him and expressed his love over the years.

His younger brother, Professor Lu, has already had a family, but he is still alone.

Lu Boxiang told Shen Guanye that the Iris Kingdom seemed to be blooming with flowers and burning oil, but in fact the internal conflicts had become intense to a certain extent.

The old forces are clinging to the throne, but the new forces want to gain more power. However, there are a group of people in the old forces who do not agree with the current strategy of the Iris Kingdom and want to implement other strategies. They have already "colluded" with the new forces. .

In other words, even if civil strife does not break out in the Iris Kingdom, it will not send too many troops to the Nanyang Continent, so it can act tougher.

Even if the Xia Nan Clan can cause certain casualties to the Iris Kingdom, it can also prompt the faction headed by Grand Duke Cuisi to take over completely.

During the introduction, Grand Duke Cuisi will also promote the conclusion of a friendship treaty with Tianxia and concentrate on exploring Black Witch Continent.

Shen Guanye was greatly moved by what he said. Lu Boxiang would think that with the current strength of the territory, it would be difficult to cause enough damage to the Iris Kingdom's ocean-going troops, but Shen Guanye, who knew that he was about to receive another promotion, did not think so. .

He was obviously interested.

If nothing else, if Iris Country can really conclude a friendship treaty with Tian Xia, Tian Xia will have one less enemy in the future, which is definitely a major benefit.

It's worth Shen Guanye's best efforts to promote it!

The next day, the two parties negotiated in front of the Purple Star Crystal Mine. The masters of the Iris Kingdom still looked very arrogant, as if they were determined to dominate the Xia Nan clan.

Therefore, Feng Feifei, who received Shen Guanye's instructions, showed his trump card without hesitation.

One hundred and eight Tiangang and Earthly Evils were like an array of stars. In an instant, the Tiangang and Earthly Evils formation was set up, and a god standing tall on the sky and the earth appeared. Iris Country's color changed in shock.
