Chapter 119 The old fox and the little fox(1/2)
After ending the call with Marquis Dingguo, Ning Chen glanced at Mu Die and said: "Be a little restrained, the days of making money are still to come. People should take a long-term view and never be blinded by petty profits."
"I know, I need you to remind me." Mu Die replied unconvinced.
Ning Chen didn't believe that Mu Die knew this truth.
Ning Chen reminded Mu Die because Ning Chen was confident that Mu Die would listen to what he said.
The reason is very simple, because I am richer than Mu Die.
The principle of submitting to the strong is valid in any field.
After coming out of Mu Die, Ning Chen also returned to the room.
When Hu Qing saw Ning Chen coming back, he immediately stood up and looked at Ning Chen expectantly.
Seeing the hope on Hu Qing's face, Ning Chen was convinced that regarding the matter of demons, the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom was indeed much more anxious than the martial arts.
Although the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, the first target of the demon must be the demon clan, not the human race.
"I confirmed with Marquis Dingguo that this is indeed the case.
I can promise you to go to Qingqiu..."
Before Ning Chen could finish speaking, Hu Qing thanked him happily: "Thank you, Lord Marquis."
"I can promise you to go to Qingqiu, but I have to wait for Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing to go to Qingqiu together. This is also Marquis Dingguo's request."
Hu Qing said without thinking: "It would be best if Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing could go with them."
Ning Chen waited for Hu Qing to finish and then continued: "But it will take four months."
"Four...four months!"
Hu Qing was stunned when he heard the time given by Ning Chen.
Except for Hu Qing's original arrival, it would only be delayed for a few days.
Why did Ning Chen go out for a trip, and when he came back, he immediately extended his time to four months later?
Has this been delayed for too long?
"Master Hou, why did it take so long?" Hu Qing asked with a frown.
Ning Chen had no intention of deceiving Hu Qing, and said frankly to Hu Qing: "Because we, Baijia City, are currently building a teleportation array.
You also know that this may be the last teleportation array of the human race or this world.
There is only one copy of all the materials, so there is absolutely no mistake.
So I have to keep an eye on it here.
Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing also attached great importance to the construction of the teleportation array.
The two of them wanted to come to Baijiacheng to take a look when the teleportation array was built.
In this way, we will wait for the teleportation array to be set up and then head to Qingqiu together."
The reason given by Ning Chen can be said to be extremely reasonable.
The last teleportation array of the human race is very important both in terms of meaning and in terms of the actual purpose of the teleportation array.
It is reasonable for Ning Chen to be careful.
As for Prince Jing and Marquis Dingguo, they want to come and see that the last teleportation array of the human race has been completed.
Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with it.
Although Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing have long passed the time of paying attention to false reputations.
But if the two of them insist on coming to see it, that's reasonable.
"Master Hou, isn't this time a little too long? The matter of demons really needs no delay." Hu Qing tentatively said to Ning Chen.
Ning Chen nodded and said, "I know what you said, but you really came a step too late.
Taoist Master Yun Xuanzi has already begun to build it.
So at this time, I really can’t leave.”
Hu Qing continued to try to persuade Ning Chen: "Master Hou, actually you can go back and forth to Qingqiu for a few days.
Let Taoist Yun Xuanzi preside over it for a few days, and I think there won't be any problems."
Ning Chen shook it like a rattle and said, "I'm not worried about this. Yun Xuanzi is only a third-grade Taoist monk.
You must know that among those who built teleportation arrays in the past, the worst ones were all of the first grade.
I am really worried about placing all such important things on Yun Xuanzi.
It’s safer for me to keep an eye on it here in person.”
After a pause, Ning Chen said to Hu Qing: "But you can also tell King Qingqiu that I will speed up the progress of laying out the formation as soon as possible while ensuring quality.
Try to build the formation as early as possible so that Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing can come to Baijia City earlier.
Then the three of us can go to Qingqiu early."
Glancing at Hu Qing, who showed a little anxiety on his face, Ning Chen said to Hu Qing: "I believe that with the background of King Qingqiu and the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom, there will definitely be no problems in a few months.
Why don't you try asking King Qingqiu first? Maybe King Qingqiu thinks there won't be any problems after four months."
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Hu Qing pondered for a moment and said: "Master Marquis, please wait a moment. I will contact the king and see what the king has to say."
Ning Chen picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea: "Whatever you want, do you need me to go out?"
Hu Qingjiao smiled and said: "This is the Marquis's home. Even if you want to go out, you should go out to the slave family."
"Besides, if the Marquis personally explained this matter to the King, it would be easier for the King to believe it."
Ning Chen put down the tea cup and nodded and said, "That's fine, it's been a long time since I saw King Qingqiu."
Hu Qing contacted King Qingqiu in front of Ning Chen.
Hu Qing first briefly explained the current situation here to King Qingqiu.
Then Ning Chen and King Qingqiu began to communicate.
"It's only been a few days since we last met, but my senior's demeanor is even better than before!" Ning Chen said to King Qingqiu with a smile on his face.
King Qingqiu looked at Ning Chen and said with a half-smile, "Senior like me has long lost his charm.
You, the junior, are the most popular right now, and you defeated half of the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom by yourself.
What the Marquis Dingguo and Emperor Wu were unable to accomplish back then, you, the champion, accomplished all in less than a year.
When it comes to such charisma, there is no one else in the world today who can compare to the champion Hou Wanyi."
After King Qingqiu finished speaking, Ning Chen said: "I heard the meaning behind the senior's words, as if he was blaming the junior for being rude.
Junior, there is indeed a special situation here, and the teleportation array has indeed begun to be built.
If senior doesn't believe it, I can take senior to the place where Taoist Master Yun Xuanzi has set up his formation later to have a look.
Then the seniors will be able to see clearly and know that the juniors did not deceive the seniors."
King Qingqiu said: "I don't doubt Marquis Dingguo on this point, but the four months of formation time is a bit too long.
I have no other advantages as an old guy, except that I live a little longer.
If this person has lived a long time, he will know a little more than others.
For example, in this teleportation array, the real difficulty lies in the array diagram and materials.
With Yun Xuanzi's ability, if he has the formation diagram and materials, it can be completed in two months at most."
After hearing what King Qingqiu said, Ning Chen showed a look of astonishment and said, "Senior, is this like this?"
King Qingqiu didn't say anything, just watching Ning Chen perform.
But Ning Chen didn't want to let King Qingqiu praise him.
Although Ning Chen did not expect that King Qingqiu, an old fox, knew everything.
But Ning Chen didn't panic at all about this kind of thing.
Continue to start your own performance.
"I just said that Yun Xuanzi, an old Taoist priest, was dishonest.
He told me that because of his low strength, it would take at least three months to prepare.
It will take another month to debug.
I gave him enough money for four months before he started construction.
I didn’t expect that this old Taoist priest would actually lie to me.”
Prince Qingqiu said with a smile, "Then he just defrauded you of two months of money. He still has a conscience."
Ning Chen said sadly: "Has a conscience? What kind of conscience does he have?
I gave them all the orders for the shells.
As a result, he was still playing tricks on me. I must settle this account with him carefully.
