Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 188: Nine Sons, One Can Rule the World
The night banquet at Li Mansion went smoothly. Ma Yunfeng personally pleaded for it, and Chu Danqing sat on the side.

All the wealthy and powerful families in Linyuan City were very honest and no one dared to resist.

No matter how famous you are locally, can you compare with the prime minister of the current dynasty?
As for agreeing verbally and then delaying or regretting it later?
Ma Yunfeng is willing to have a good discussion with you, which is giving you face.

If you dare to play tricks, then wait to be crushed to death.

It's just for the sake of stability. Ma Yunfeng doesn't want to kill people, but it's not like he can't kill you.

The military and political power of Linyuan City are in his hands, and he has enough confidence.

Otherwise, why would he need Chu Danqing to delay the Black Flag Army in order to control the troops of Linyuan City.

Although the soldiers of Linyuan City are not as elite as the Black Flag Army, they are still a force to be reckoned with.

As the prime minister, he also knew the shortcomings of the reformists and the Zhaoming Society. The capital was an ironclad entity run by the Empress Dowager, and all places were even more like a community of shared interests.

The fact that he, the prime minister, had such a hard time opening up Linyuan City was enough to show how great his disadvantage was.

After the banquet, Ma Yunfeng expressed his condolences for Li Yutang's daughter.

And then nothing happened. He was the prime minister and had seen all kinds of joys and sorrows.

How can one empathize with someone when it doesn't happen to him?

"Minister Ma, where is my reward?" Chu Danqing asked.

Before, the other party was in the office, so Chu Danqing naturally couldn't say it directly. Now it's just the three of them in private.

There is no big taboo in saying this.

"Huh? Didn't you ask Mr. Li for it?" Ma Yunfeng asked in a puzzled manner.

When Chu Danqing heard this, he wondered what was going on: "You asked me to do something, and then I went to ask Mr. Li for payment. That's not good."

Li Yutang was speechless at what Ma Yunfeng said.

He can thank Chu Danqing, but you can't put the deal between you two on him.

"I remember that there is a map of mountains and rivers in Mr. Li's house, right?" Ma Yunfeng did not respond to Chu Danqing's words, but turned the topic to Li Yutang.

"There is such a painting at home." Li Yutang did not hide it and continued, "It was obtained by our ancestor by chance and kept as a collection."

"That's right. I saw him when I was playing with Jin Chu that year." Ma Yunfeng said. This Jin Chu was Li Yutang's deceased father Li Jin Chu.

Li Yutang and Ma Yunfeng relied on the friendship between their old classmates.

"Mr. Chu, my reward is to tell you that Mr. Li has a map of mountains and rivers that you need at home." Ma Yunfeng said with a smile.

Chu Danqing narrowed his eyes but didn't say anything.

When Li Yutang heard this, he stood up and personally took out the so-called map of mountains and rivers and placed it in the middle of the table for the three of them.

"Is this what Master Chu needs?" Li Yutang asked, and then continued, "If so, it is a gift from me to Master Chu."

The map of mountains and rivers is similar to the Pulao Scroll and Sea Territory in Chu Danqing's hand, but it records mineral veins, forestry, etc.

The patterns on it are constructed to look like a turtle with its head raised and its feet supported, which is none other than the dragon son Ba Xia.

"It's what I need, so I'll take it." When it came to the assessment task, Chu Danqing did not refuse.

[Ba Xia Volume: Mountains and Rivers]

[Type: Equipment·Atlas]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Durability: 100/100]

[Earth Vein Supporting Heaven (Passive): Restore 50 HP per second while standing still]

[Weight of Mountains and Rivers (Passive): Physical Strength Consumption +50% when not in combat]

[Equipment requirements: None]

When Chu Danqing saw this passive skill, he threw it into the storage space without hesitation.

It is a pairing with the Pulaojuan. One can restore 50 mana points per second after leaving the battle, and the other can restore 50 health points per second just by standing still.

As for their uses, they each have their own drawbacks.

These conditions are much more stringent than those for Pulaojuan.

Not only do you have to stand, you also have to be unable to move for it to be effective.

Chu Danqing has Dabai with him, so he has no shortage of health recovery. There is no need to increase his physical strength consumption by 50% for such an effect.

It's not like he's fighting all day long. His non-combat time is much longer than his combat time, so the cost-effectiveness is not high.

So the best outcome is to eat dust.

However, after obtaining another volume of the Nine Cauldrons Map, the task progress has been improved to (8/9), and now only the last volume is left.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Jiaozijuan.

Chu Danqing guessed that it was in the hands of Zhao Tiechuan of the Black Flag Army. After all, Ya Zi was in charge of swords and weapons, so he was the general who fit the bill.

"Are you satisfied with this reward?" Ma Yunfeng asked after seeing Chu Danqing accept the Ba Xia Scroll.

"You took Mr. Li's things and did you a favor. This is really a clever calculation." Although Chu Danqing was satisfied, he always felt that he was taken advantage of by the other party.

"There are not many ordinary items that can satisfy you, Mr. Chu. Only this one is quite decent." Ma Yunfeng explained.

"Okay, you passed." Chu Danqing didn't think too much about it. If Ma Yunfeng hadn't pointed it out, it would have taken him a lot of effort to get the Ba Xia Scroll.

This is the information gap. Ma Yunfeng looked at the time and said, "Mr. Li, it's getting late. You still have to prepare the funeral and set up the hall. We won't disturb you."

As he spoke, he stood up and said to Chu Danqing, "Let's go, Master Chu. We've eaten and taken our food. It's time to go back."

Chu Danqing naturally did not refuse. After saying goodbye to Li Yutang, he left.

Li Yutang escorted them out of the Li Mansion. Chu Danqing was about to go back to his own home, but unexpectedly Ma Yunfeng stopped Chu Danqing.

"Master Chu, the night is cold and the moon is cold. Your chariot is drafty from all sides. It must be uncomfortable to sit in."

"Why don't you ride in this carriage with me and I'll take you with me." Ma Yunfeng said.

Obviously, this is something to discuss with Chu Danqing.

Chu Danqing naturally did not refuse and got into the other party's carriage.

As soon as they sat down, the carriage started moving slowly, and Ma Yunfeng said, "Tomorrow, the Black Flag Army will enter the city."

"I have successfully won over Zhao Tiechuan. He is willing to support our actions in Linyuan City and is ready to go to the capital to purge the emperor at any time."

Chu Danqing was not surprised to hear these two sentences.

With Ma Yunfeng's means, sufficient time, and no constraints, it would not be difficult to accomplish this.

Therefore, Chu Danqing was more concerned about the Jiaozi Scroll that might be in Zhao Tiechuan's hands.

"So what do you want me to do?" Chu Danqing asked bluntly.

"Qi Qianshan couldn't hide the Black Flag Army's movements." Ma Yunfeng continued, "You killed Hong Chengyue and delayed them for a day or two, but that wasn't enough."

"What do you mean? Let me kill Qi Qianshan?" Chu Danqing understood what he meant.

Ma Yunfeng suddenly changed the subject and asked, "How many copies of the Nine Cauldrons Diagram have you obtained?"

"Why are you asking this?" Chu Danqing did not answer directly. Ma Yunfeng seemed to be jumping around, but it seemed that he was trying to control Chu Danqing.

"When Taizu established his rule over the world, it was with the help of this Nine Cauldrons Diagram." Ma Yunfeng brought up the topic of the Nine Cauldrons Diagram and continued, "The origin of the Nine Cauldrons Diagram is mysterious and unknown."

"But at the end of dynasties and during times of warlord chaos, the nine volumes of atlas would be scattered across the land and reappear in the world."

"If someone collects all nine volumes, it will be the time for a dynasty to change."

"The last person who gathered all nine volumes was the founder of this dynasty." Ma Yunfeng stared at Chu Danqing.

When Chu Danqing heard this, he was speechless. Even if the Nine-in-One was a sophisticated equipment, it could not achieve such an outrageous effect.

"So you suspect that I'm going to rebel?" Chu Danqing didn't have the leisure to think about that.

Besides, the change of dynasties depends on strong soldiers and the support of the people, not a piece of equipment.

"I want you to help me lure Qi Qianshan away." Ma Yunfeng suddenly changed the subject.

He knew what the foundation of the emperor was, but this matter was still frightening.

"I'm afraid I don't have time." Chu Danqing refused this time.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to, but he wants to stay in Linyuan City and get the last scroll of the Nine Cauldrons Map.

I didn’t see that even Paradise didn’t give any corresponding side quests this time.

Side quests are a supplement to trial quests. If this is not done, there will definitely be no generation.

This means that Qi Qianshan has nothing to do with the final Jiaozi Scroll.

It should be difficult enough. After all, he is the best master in the world and has been certified by many parties.

However, due to insufficient factors, side quests and hidden areas cannot be triggered.

"Don't be quick to refuse. The reward I give you will satisfy you."

When Ma Yunfeng said this, he took out a brocade box but did not open it.

"How satisfied can you be?" Chu Danqing keenly sensed the murderous intent in Ma Yunfeng.

The other party concealed it very well, but his strength was too low.

Even if Chu Danqing is not good at fighting, it doesn't mean that his attributes are just for show.

As an ordinary person, no matter how well you disguise yourself, it will be sensed.

"This is the last volume of the Nine Cauldrons Map that you need." After saying that, Ma Yunfeng pushed the brocade box in front of Chu Danqing.

But he didn't open it. Instead, he held the box and said, "Actually, you still have another way."

"Give me the remaining eight volumes of the Nine Cauldrons Diagram. I will keep you safe and recommend you for a meteoric rise."

At this moment, Chu Danqing understood what Ma Yunfeng was going to do.

He helped Chu Danqing put the Nine Cauldrons Diagram together even though he knew it was a taboo. His purpose was naturally to attract attention.

As for what was necessary to attract the attention of Shuo Chao, the only thing Chu Danqing could think of was to purge the court of evil officials.

It seems that although Ma Yunfeng talks about being serious, he actually believes that the emperor should have a strong army and horses, rather than relying on nine volumes of atlases.

"The Queen Mother won't believe what you said." Chu Danqing said, prying open Ma Yunfeng's hands that were pressing on the brocade box, and took out the album in the box without hesitation.

It was a military book, and its characters were constructed into the shape of a dragon with a jackal body and a dragon head. It was exactly the Jiaozi scroll that Chu Danqing needed.

"I will leave Linyuan City the day after tomorrow, and you can release the news later." Chu Danqing said as he looked at the new trial task.

Ma Yunfeng came to Yuancheng to reform and start a war, and it was reasonable for him to follow Jiaozi.
