Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows, with a playful smile on his lips.
"It seems that the king of the Kingdom of Blood Flame is quite generous. I thought your father could only get a baron."
Qi Huanzhi quickly nodded in agreement and said excitedly: "Yes! I thought the same way before, the worst I can do is give him the title of baron.
You know, the Lord of the City is just a viscount.
The Kingdom of Blood Flame is affiliated to the Great Yan Empire, and these noble titles are common to the entire Great Yan Empire.
Therefore, it is difficult to obtain a title from the Great Yan Empire.
Even the royal family of the Kingdom of God can only grant the title of Marquis at the highest level.
Our king is just a duke."
Ji Tianxing smiled and said: "Your father was made a viscount. Although he has fame but no power, he will be qualified to compete for the city lord in the future.
If the Qi family grows stronger and manages it properly in the future, it will be possible to rule a city!"
Qi Huanzhi was also a little excited with excitement, and thoughts were running through his mind.
"Yes! If such a day comes, I will be the Young City Lord.
Even now, my father's title is equal to that of the city lord, and I no longer have to worry about the city lord's mansion's revenge.
I heard from my father that when he went to the royal capital this time, the Ning family in Tianxue County made a lot of contributions.
Without the help of the Ning family, it would be difficult for him to obtain the title of Viscount."
Ji Tianxing nodded slightly and said, "That's it! Ning Siyuan is engaged to you, so of course the Ning family is willing to help.
Now that you are the heir to the Viscount, you can be considered a close relative of Ning Si."
Qi Huanzhi looked a little embarrassed, and quickly waved his hands and said: "Don't mention this, let's talk about business."
Ji Tianxing showed a faint smile and said: "Your father's position as Viscount is the talisman of the Qi family.
Neither the Blood Sword Sect nor the City Lord's Mansion can openly deal with the Qi family.
By the way, has this matter been finalized?
Has the king’s edict ever been issued?”
Qi Huanzhi quickly replied: "This matter was decided by the monarch at today's court meeting. The monarch also commended my father in front of all the civil and military officials.
The decision to confer the title of Viscount to my father was announced in court today.
It will take about two days to reach all parts of the Kingdom of God and make it known to the world.
As for the formal conferment of titles and the documents issued by the monarch, it will take a few days to arrive at Qingshan City."
Ji Tianxing nodded and said, "In this case, we still cannot let down our guard in the next few days."
Qi Huanzhi frowned and asked with some confusion: "Brother Tianxing, my father has been made a viscount, and the news will spread soon.
If the Blood Sword Sect and the City Lord's Mansion give up revenge, will this matter be settled?"
Ji Tianxing asked with a playful smile: "Why do you think they will give up? Yu Wenjie and Shi Gongfeng are dead, and the fourth elder of the Blood Sword Sect was also killed by me.
Their plan failed, they were disgraced, and they suffered such heavy losses, how could they give up?"
Qi Huanzhi frowned and said: "If... I mean if, they feel that the cost of dealing with the Qi family is too high, exceeding the gains they can get.
Are they really going to put up with this and stop seeking revenge?"
Ji Tianxing said with a calm expression: "The Qi family finally won the title of nobility and will soon become famous.
You want stability, don't want to take any more risks, and continue to fight against the Blood Sword Sect.
Anyway, I understand how you feel.
But if you think about it carefully, will the Blood Sword Sect take a famous but powerless viscount seriously?
Will they really give in and give up Xuanguang Cave?"
Qi Huanzhi was silent for a moment, then shook his head gently.
Ji Tianxing sighed and said earnestly: "The Qi family wants to prosper and prosper, and you also want to inherit the Viscount in a stable manner, enjoy the life of a nobleman, and no longer experience twists and turns.
But all these must be based on the fact that the Qi family is strong enough that no one dares to provoke them.
Never put your life and future in the hope that the enemy will be merciful!"
Qi Huanzhi's body trembled, and a light flashed in his eyes.
"Never trust your life and future to the fact that the enemy will be merciful?"
He murmured these words to himself, as if he had a sudden enlightenment or an enlightenment.
"Brother Tianxing, since the Blood Sword Sect and the City Lord's Mansion will definitely not let us go, what should we do next?"
When Qi Huanzhi looked at Ji Tianxing again, his eyes became clear and firm, no longer confused or hesitant.
Seeing his reaction like this, Ji Tianxing was secretly pleased.
This kid has never worried about the Qi family's business and future before, but now he is finally starting to understand and grow up.
"Before the monarch's conferring documents arrive at Qingshan City, continue to be vigilant and guard Xuanguang Cave and Qi Mansion.
All that's left is to wait for the City Lord's Mansion and the Blood Sword Sect to take action and take advantage of them."
Qi Huanzhi nodded to express his understanding and asked: "In other words, we can just take precautions and wait and see what happens?"
Ji Tianxing nodded.
Qi Huanzhi said in a solemn tone: "Okay! Then I will issue an order now to dispatch a large number of elite guards to protect Qi Mansion and Xuanguang Cave.
The Qi Mansion is in Qingshan City, so the opponent does not dare to attack openly, so the defense force can be appropriately reduced.
But the Divine Beast Valley and Xuanguang Cave must be guarded by heavy troops!"
Ji Tianxing added: "Focus on protecting the Divine Beast Valley! I will set up two large formations to protect the entire Xuanguang Island. You don't have to worry."
"That's great!" Qi Huanzhi became more confident.
Ji Tianxing thought for a moment and asked: "By the way, in which areas do the sea tribes in the Sunset Sea generally operate?
How far is the Sea Clan tribe closest to Xuanguang Island from here?"
Qi Huanzhi was startled for a moment, then frowned and said: "This is the edge of the Sunset Sea, very close to the land, and the sea tribe will hardly appear.
The sea tribe closest to here seems to be called the Black Shark Tribe.
The number of people in this tribe is about 20,000, and it is about 800,000 miles away from here...
Brother Tianxing, why do you suddenly ask this question?
Are you worried..."
Ji Tianxing nodded and said in a low tone: "If someone cannot openly deal with the Qi family, and he hates the Qi family to the core, he might take risks and kill others with a borrowed knife!
Although the chance of this happening is low, we must take precautions.”
Qi Huanzhi narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
…
at the same time.
Qingshan City, in a study room in the City Lord's Mansion.
The city lord Yu Wen Chengkong, who was dressed in purple robes, was curled up in the large grand master's chair, staring at the window lattice blankly.
Originally he was a majestic, domineering, tall and tall man of eight feet tall.
At this moment, his face was actually haggard, his expression was gloomy, and his red eyes were sunken.
During this period, the pain of losing his son hit him hard.
His world has almost lost its color, and he spends every day in darkness and depression.
The murderous aura built up in his chest could not be calmed down no matter what.
After a long time, he suddenly spoke and murmured in a low voice.
"Yan Zong, have I restrained my sharpness and kept a low profile for too long?
How dare those cat-and-mouse people dare to ride on my head?"
