One hundred and thirty-eight, Priest Qiandan

The crisis caused by the monster tide was easily solved. From then on, jellyfish were stationed in the territorial waters, and most monsters did not dare to attack.

The safety of the people living by the sea can be guaranteed, and the country can develop better. Trade in all cities is fully open, and together they will become prosperous and strong.

Various gadgets that use electricity were brought by businessmen and gradually became accepted by the people.

Living and working in peace and contentment, Zhu Qinghong, accompanied by Su Rui and Fang Youan, visited various cities.

The city lords served them carefully and served the people wholeheartedly. Zhu Qinghong was very satisfied with this and everyone was rewarded.

In the blink of an eye, it’s summer and the sun is scorching.

While Zhu Qinghong was leisurely enjoying the shade under the grape trellis in the palace, news came from the troops patrolling the seaside.

A small boat entered territorial waters with only a ten-year-old boy on board.

This matter seemed strange, so I reported it to the superior.

It is difficult for a child to survive in the current troubled times, unless he has the power of a priest. She set out for the seaside city and saw the unconscious boy in the barracks.

He does indeed appear to be about ten years old, but his white hair hangs down to his ankles. He looks handsome and his clothes are made of unusual materials.

Ono scanned the boy carefully and found that there was no external injury on the boy's body. The reason why he was in a coma was more like a deep sleep.

Because food is scarce, consumption is reduced.

Zhu Qinghong nodded and walked out of the tent: "Good care. When people wake up and come to see me, they must be treated with courtesy."

"Yes." Xu Junzhi and his two deputies accompanied him and went to have lunch together.

Halfway through the session, someone announced that the boy was awake and waiting outside.

The boy came in and knelt down: "Meet His Majesty the Emperor."

He is neither humble nor arrogant, and even when he is kneeling, he speaks as if he is talking normally. He looks like a child, but his posture, expression, tone of voice, etc. all show that he is an adult.

Zhu Qinghong understood clearly that time seemed to be suspended in this person's body. Perhaps it had something to do with his own strength, or perhaps it was imposed by others.

He has good self-control and good education, but he is obviously so hungry that he needs to sleep to survive.

After he came in, he didn't even glance at the food on the table. If he hadn't known about his situation, he would have been kept a secret.

Zhu Qinghong smiled: "You're here just in time, let's sit down and have a meal together."

Someone went down immediately to prepare.

The boy sat down and did not look around. When the food came, he ate slowly.

The moment he tasted the taste, the boy made a move. Then he continued to eat calmly, without seeing anything wrong.

After the meal, serve the after-meal fruit.

The weather is hot, so today it’s iced watermelon. Cut it into small pieces, put it on a plate, and eat it with a toothpick.

Zhu Qinghong said while eating: "I have seen the navigation lines you drew, and minerals have been found on two of the islands."

Coal mines are an important resource for industrial development. Since they have been included in the dynasty's territory, there is no reason not to develop them.

"A large number of demons have been expelled. The native demons on the island need to be sent to kill. Xu Junzhi, clean it up as soon as possible. The development of the minerals cannot be delayed. Troops and ships can be deployed. You can raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while, but you should also move." Zhu Qinghong ordered.

"yes."

The jellyfish drives away the demon swarm, leaving only some native demons on the island. The danger is greatly reduced, and raising them is of no use if they cannot be solved.

Zhu Qinghong immediately summoned Su Rui and Fang Youan: "You two should accompany this person for a nice walk."

The two took orders.

The boy lowered his head and followed them out of the barracks. There were cars and carriages heading to the city, but this time he chose a car.

The boy was riding in a car for the first time, and his shock did not show on his face. He looked out the window and was curious about what kind of country this was.

Cars entered the city and were only allowed to drive on the main streets. The boy was placed in an inn, and Su Rui and Fang Youan stayed together.

Their mission is not just as simple as accompanying them. One is to collect information, and the other is to be vigilant. A priest cannot take it lightly, no matter how harmless he looks.

People who know nothing are best received by two of them. If there is a conflict, they can also suppress it.

At night, the boy stood outside the window and looked out at the bright lights. He was in a trance and had the illusion of dreaming.

How many times have I dreamed of peace, warmth, and abundance.

Isn't everything in front of him an illusion caused by his hunger while floating on the sea?

The next day, they walked around the streets, listened to the people's chatter, and felt the comfort of the people under the bustle.

"My son was recruited to study in the capital. He wrote to me and told me that the whole city is like a fairyland. Not to mention there is endless food and clothing. The toys for children, the pens, inks, paper and inkstones used by students, and the craftsmen's

All the tools we don’t have here.”

"I want to go see it, but I don't know if I will have the chance in this life. It's hard to settle down and live a steady life."

"Who says there is no chance? The road leading directly to the capital is almost completed. If you have money, you can go there. There are two buses every day."

"Seriously? Oops, I'm busy with a lot of things at home. I'm just living a better life, and I don't have that much spare money."

Several women sighed.

The boy had the idea of ​​​​going to see it: "Can I go to the capital for a walk?"

The seaside city suffered a disaster and is still rebuilding.

Tianchong City is completely different. It has already become the political and economic center of the entire country.

Su Rui and Fang Youan immediately made arrangements and took a car there that afternoon. The smooth cement road passed through the lush mountain forest.

There are post stations and other buildings on the roadside, so they are not afraid of being trapped in the mountains halfway. They are not in a hurry to enter the city and stop to rest for a night.

The sea breeze blows gently, carrying a salty smell into the forest. It is quieter at night, and no noisy sounds can be heard.

Get up the next day, have breakfast and continue on your way.

Su Rui and Fang Youan took turns driving, and after the vehicle was built, they were the first to get their driver's licenses.

When we reached the edge of the volcano, there was a checkpoint that blocked the train. A fire python that turned into a small snake floated over to check the pass token.

Su Rui raised the token and stretched out her hand to avoid the little snake's head. Except her sister, no one was allowed to touch it.

After the inspection, the fire python turned and got out of the way.

As the car gradually drove away, the boy who was so nervous that he clenched his fists said with lingering fear: "That's a demon."

"The fire python is of course a demon, and it is also the protector of our country. It has been ordered by His Majesty to guard the checkpoints, and will not let you go without a token. If you disobey and cause trouble, you will not blame others if you are eaten. Don't worry, as long as you are honest, it will not mess around.

"Fang You'an didn't know whether to comfort or scare.

After leaving the forest, we headed all the way to Tianchong City. The road was wide and there were buildings on both sides with people coming and going.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Go to the city gate to check, and the three of them get out of the car and walk.

There are regulations in Tianchong City that no one except trucks transporting goods are allowed to enter. You can rent carriages to enter the city.

After walking through the city wall, it suddenly became enlightened.

There is a lot of traffic and a lot of people. The people are all well-dressed and have a leisurely attitude.

It can be seen that they are not worried about the troubles of monsters, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. You can ride bicycles in the city, and children also have scooters.

Candied haws, steamed buns, pastries...

The fragrance spreads across several streets.

Children laughed and played, or crowded in front of the stalls to buy food.

If they didn't have enough money, the two of them bought and shared the food. They were so carefree and enjoying a wonderful childhood.

Su Rui went to an inn: "Let's find an inn to stay in first. Then we will go to the palace to meet His Majesty tomorrow."

The boy stopped and his eyes were firm: "Miss Su, can you take me to see His Majesty now? I have something to say."

Fang You'an and Su Rui looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Entering the palace was not difficult as expected, and it was smooth with them leading the way.

It was noon, and Zhu Qinghong was preparing to have a meal. Three people came to see her, so she had to postpone lunch: "Xuan."

Entering the Imperial Study Room, Su Rui and the other three saluted. Then An and Su Rui stood aside.

The boy lifted his robe and knelt down and said sincerely: "My name is Qiandan, and I am a priest. I come from the country of priests. I wandered on the sea for two years and finally landed. Thank you, Your Majesty, for rescuing me."

A kingdom of priests?

It is said that this is a country where all the people are priests? Why did they end up wandering on the sea for two years?

Zhu Qinghong pondered for a moment: "I heard that there are god-level priests in the country of priests. Is it true?"

"It's true." Qiandan raised his eyes slightly, "I am one of them. Qiandan, the elder of the country of priests, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor."

Is he a god-level priest?

Su Rui and Fang Youan were surprised.

Zhu Qinghong realized the seriousness of the situation in an instant. The dignified elder and god-level priest of the country left the country and drifted at sea for two years.

Why? It is only possible that the kingdom of priests was in danger and he came out to ask for help.

It can be seen from this that the power of natural disaster-level demons has evolved to the point where god-level priests cannot resist it.

And it was two years ago.

Zhu Qinghong frowned slightly.

Qiandan continued: "The kingdom of priests has long lost its former glory, and the demons are growing stronger and stronger. The elders gathered together and sent me out to seek help. But in the past two years, I have not found anyone I can trust.

"

He has been to many places and seen a lot of countries, large and small.

At best, it is self-sufficient, but at worst, it is precarious.

After drifting on the sea for two years, he finally came to the Yunhong Dynasty. The orderly army and the peaceful people in the prosperous age all demonstrated his ability to govern the country. After two years, he couldn't wait any longer.

Is there still a glimmer of hope in this world?

Attack the mutation center and completely eradicate the demons. Zhu Qinghong has this idea, but...

She raised her lips and smiled: "What's the benefit of my working so hard to help? Tell me something realistic, I'm interested."

Qiandan was stunned for a moment, lowered his eyes and made up his mind: "Whatever your Majesty wants, I will never refuse if I can achieve it."

"Refreshing. My long-cherished wish is to unify the world. If the country of priests is willing to surrender, how can I abandon my own people and ignore them." Zhu Qinghong got straight to the point.

Bring the kingdom of priests under your control, and eradicate the demons at their core. The world will be at your fingertips.

She thought she was going to have a tough battle with the Kingdom of Priests, but the way things turned out was just what she wanted.

Surrender or die, the choice is yours.

Qiandan leaned over and kowtowed: "Your Majesty sent troops to rescue me. Qiandan is willing to lead the people of the country of priests to submit."

"Very good. Fang You'an, Su Rui, you two go down first." Zhu Qinghong stood up, "To express your sincerity, come with me."

Su Rui and the others bowed and left.

The space door opened, and Zhu Qinghong took the first step.

Qiandan stood up and walked towards the space door step by step, accepting it calmly without fear.

Inside the space door was a scene he had never seen before. There were all kinds of strange instruments in the large room.

Zhu Qinghong pursed his lips and smiled: "Your body remains at ten years old, but your actual age is far beyond that. I want to see if the transformation can be successful."

The robotic arm stretches out, eager to try.

For genetically modified people, minors have the best results.

Once the body is mature in all aspects, the benefits of genetic modification outweigh the consequences.

Zhu Qinghong wanted to know how to deal with a situation like Qiandan's and whether there would be any side effects after the transformation.

"Okay." Qiandan nodded.

The robotic arm came forward, took off his clothes and put him into the culture tank.

【Genetic modification begins.】

Zhu Qinghong is waiting with her hands behind her hands. If she succeeds, it will be a big breakthrough. She is looking forward to the results.
