Chapter five hundred and sixty countries ask for help
Lin Xiao felt that he still had a simple sense of justice in his heart. This sense of justice had no need for profit, it just didn't want millions of mortals to be killed.
It can be said that the life and death of a cultivator is his own choice. Since he has embarked on this path, for the sake of profit, it is only natural that you kill others and others kill you.
But as for mortals, mortals in this world are miserable. No one promotes the development of mortal society, and no one cares about their happiness. Mortals are known as the foundation of the world of immortality, but the best treatment that immortality practitioners can give to mortals is not to starve to death.
, give birth to more children and provide disciples with spiritual roots, that’s all.
This is the same even for the Wu Kingdom under the control of Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao has been promoting this kind of reform and has been trying to strictly manage mortals and want to give them the power of happiness.
However, this matter has never been successful. Lin Xiao's ability is so great, and the facts are so cruel. It is impossible for Lin Xiao to give up the development of the sect and develop mortals. In that case, all the disciples will rebel.
Now that what happened in Annan Kingdom happened, Lin Xiao wanted to destroy those demon cultivators and then bring out the common people.
But some persuasion by Ye Nanyu and others made Lin Xiao's blood run cold, because Lin Xiao knew very well that without enough benefits, he would indeed be unable to mobilize the other sects of the Wu Kingdom, and even the disciples of the Tiansheng Sect would complain.
Although the demonic cultivators in the Annan Kingdom are not as powerful as the Wu Kingdom, they still have tens of thousands of people. Once a war breaks out, people will die in droves. No one is willing to die for someone who has no interest in them.
Lin Xiao was a little disappointed in his heart, but he did not force himself. If Lin Xiao wanted to forcibly conquer the Annan Kingdom, the disciples of the Tiansheng Sect would follow and destroy them, but this approach was too irrational. Lin Xiao was waiting for someone.
Opportunity.
This opportunity began to appear half a month later, and it reached its peak within a month. This opportunity was the request for help from various countries in the Southern Continent.
After the demise of the Annan Kingdom, the surrounding countries were nervously mobilizing and preparing for war. However, the incident happened in a hurry and the troops were easy to assemble, but it was difficult to prepare enough supplies. What's more, rumors spread everywhere, which also caused the prices of supplies to skyrocket.
In addition, all countries are wary of each other and cannot work together. This is a legacy of the beast wave more than a hundred years ago.
Back then, the beast wave swept through more than a dozen countries in the southwestern tip of Nanzhou, but the losses in each country were different. Some were big and some were small. After the war, some recovered quickly and some recovered slowly. Like the Wu Kingdom, which was in the 20s
They regained their strength within a few years, but some countries took hundreds of years to recover.
This has caused the extreme strength of various countries. Then weak countries will not dare to form an alliance with you, because the power will definitely be in the hands of the big country. What if you are used as cannon fodder? What if you are used as cannon fodder?
Knowing what is true and false, forming an alliance is simply impossible.
So we can only ask for help, and if we ask for help, there are only two countries in the southwest of Nanzhou that we can ask for, one is the Song Kingdom and the other is the Wu Kingdom. These two big countries are both controlled by Shenxu Stage monks, which are enough to destroy the demons of the Annan Kingdom.
build.
Especially the Song Dynasty, which has been famous for thousands of years of philanthropy, specializing in solving some difficult problems for various countries. Of course, this is not done in vain, it has to be paid, and the price is not low. Over the years, relying on this
Income, the Song Dynasty made a lot of money.
This time the Song Kingdom had the same idea. They also couldn't stand the Demon Kingdom. After all, they were part of the mainstream world of immortality. However, the disciples of the Song Kingdom were not willing to risk their lives for people who had nothing to do with them. The Song Kingdom wanted
To send troops, you still need money.
Moreover, the amount of money requested this time is not low. After all, demon cultivators are not generally difficult to deal with. If they want to solve this matter, many people in the Song Kingdom will die.
No country can afford the price of Song Dynasty independently. However, because each country has no alliance and the distance to Annan is different, there is no basis for rationally sharing this cost.
So all the countries could only turn to the Wu Kingdom for help. At this time, Lin Xiao was not in the sect, and Nan Xuan did not dare to take the initiative, so he could only pass the information to Lin Xiao.
"Now that we have great righteousness and interests, what else do you have to say?"
"No more, Master, you can do whatever you want."
"Why, Ye Nanyu, don't you even listen to me?"
"How dare you"
"I think you dare"
"My boss, they haven't made an offer yet, and we haven't counter-offered yet, and you are ready to make a move. What should we do? We won't lose money on this trip, right?"
"Don't think I don't know, haven't you already asked Nan Xuan to negotiate the price?"
"There's no such thing, there really isn't."
"Master, do I want to go back this time?"
"What, you want to go back?"
"Well, I haven't been back to the sect for a long time, and I also want to go and meet the demon cultivator for a while."
Li Muxue said that Li Muxue had a big feud with the demon cultivator. The cold-blooded demon king almost killed her back then. Later, Lin Xiao helped her avenge her, but it was a shortcoming that she didn't kill her enemy personally.
.
"You don't have to go back. According to Ye Xiao's news, the Demon Lord Tiansha is only a spiritual person, which is not enough for me to fight alone. You can just make alchemy in Tiansu City without any worries, and a Shenxu Stage cultivator is also needed here.
"
"The leader is right, Senior Sister Muxue, you don't know how prosperous Baixueju is now. Our family accounts for 10% of the high-end elixirs in Tiansu City. Do you know how many people are jealous of us?
If the leader had been in charge these years, countless troubles would have come to us, and you must be here."
Ye Nanyu said that Bai Xueju only deals in the fourth-level and above level alchemy weapon array business, so it has little impact on those small businesses, but the big business is different, and there are many people who are jealous of Bai Xueju.
Otherwise, Lin Xiao's previous series of operations had even slapped Tianxuanzong in the face several times, and someone might really be tempted to take action. The interests are worth their efforts.
"You've all said so, then stay here. Master must quickly train a monk in the Shenxu stage. I have been trapped in Tiansu City for many years. I need to go out and travel for a while."
"It's almost two hundred years ago. The first batch of people who broke through the spiritual light were almost two hundred years ago. It won't be long."
"Me, me, Senior Sister Muxue, please support me more, I promise to improve my cultivation level soon, and I will be in charge of Tiansu City from now on."
"You think so well, you still want to sit in charge with Si Qi, right?"
"Haha, the boss still understands me."
"I won't talk nonsense to you. We'll talk about this kind of thing later. Pack your things today and leave tomorrow. We will arrive at Wu Kingdom within half a month."
Lin Xiao glared at Ye Nanyu, and then went to arrange specific matters. He had taken the route back to Wu Kingdom from Tiansu City many times. He knew how to go faster, where to take the teleportation array, and which road to take.
Already.
Early the next morning, Lin Xiao led everyone to set off. This time, except for Ye Nanyu, there were no disciples of the Tiansheng Sect, but there were twenty disciples of the Tianyin Sect. Lin Xiao had always been very concerned about the sound wave skill assisting large-scale wars.
I was curious, so I went to find the person who asked for it.
The iron flute was no ambiguity either. These twenty people were all monks from the Zi Mansion at the very least. They had drained away all the elites who had stayed in Tiansu City. They also brought special magical tools with them, and they were going to put on a show when the time came.
After half a month of travel and dust, Lin Xiao also arrived at the mountain gate. In the past half month, Nan Xuan has talked with envoys from various countries asking for help. Tiansheng Sect can send troops, but there must be conditions. There is no benefit at all.
If you don't give it, it's impossible to agree.
The rewards reported by various countries were not satisfactory and could not meet Nan Xuan's requirements at all, so Nan Xuan also took the initiative this time and negotiated several demands.
The first requirement is the issue of post-war trade. Hundred-city firms must receive preferential treatment in various countries, increase cooperation, etc. This is a commercial matter.
The second request is also related to business. Each country has its own specialties and treasures, just like the five-element fruit tree of Wu family in Wusun country. Many countries have such treasures. Nanxuan asked them to come up with this
Plant the treasures at the bottom of the box and trade them. The price will follow the market. Tiansheng Sect will not bully you, but the prerequisite is that you must sell.
The treasures of various countries have long been investigated by Baicheng Merchant and Ye Xiao, and none of them have escaped. If this condition is not agreed, Wu State will not send troops.
The third requirement is a normal battlefield requirement. When the Wu Kingdom sends troops, the resources consumed will be shared equally by all countries. After death in battle, half of the pension will be provided. The standard must be negotiated in advance. There are examples of how much the pension will be at any level.
After the matter is resolved, rewards will be given based on military merit. This reward is still only half borne by each country, but as for the capture on the battlefield, it cannot be given, it must belong to the Wu Kingdom itself.
Many of the conditions may seem harsh, but if you really look into it, you will find that it is much cheaper than the Song Dynasty, which is one-size-fits-all, and it doesn't matter whether you are in difficulty or not.
The Wu State came up with strategy first. Whichever country pays more money first will solve the problems of that country first, advance from there, and defend its rear area.
Of course, one premise of these conditions is that Tiansheng Sect will not send too many troops, and it is impossible to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops for them. Without this necessity, the reward they will give cannot reach this level.
The number of troops sent by the Wu Guoguo is about 5,000 to 10,000, and they are specially used to deal with the opponent's masters, especially the aura-level battles. The ancestors of various countries do not need to take risks, but each country must strangle all the demon cultivators.
After half a month of arduous negotiations, Nan Xuan almost agreed to the conditions. Nan Xuan also sent a message to consult the other sects of the Wu Kingdom, asking them if they were willing to send troops to help. This is a collective mercenary mission, and they can only earn no money.
Compensated.
However, in response to Miaomiao, only the monks from the Danyang Sect, Tianhai Sect, Hongshan Sect, Shanhe Sect and Chunyang Palace have agreed for the time being. It is normal for the four sects of the Danyang Sect to follow the Tiansheng Sect. After all, the five sects are in contact with each other.
For hundreds of years, the high-level officials had kept in touch with each other, but the fact that Chunyang Palace, controlled by the Li family, was willing to participate in the war was indeed beyond Lin Xiao's expectation.
