Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Chapter 556: Who Sees the Moon for the First Time by the River

"Ah I……"

The poor seventh son of the Shi family was played around by Ji Ming and was fooled by his twisted logic: "Although the difficulties you encountered far exceeded your abilities, isn't it your fault that you didn't die on it?"

His mind was a mess and he was so anxious that he could only ask one question in the end.

"My Lord, what do you think I should do now?"

Ji Ming gave a kind smile.

"Well..."

Although in the little lion's conception, the Lionheart Kings of all generations should adopt the classic "Jiajing method" and be a powerful non-stick pan.

But the premise for Jiajing to be a non-stick pan is that he has a large number of eunuchs and spies, so that he can maintain sufficiently strong surveillance over the entire capital and even the entire world without leaving his house.

Moreover, Jiajing himself was smart enough. With sufficient intelligence and absolute military force and power, he was able to control a large number of ministers under his command who were smarter than monkeys.

In other words, since he is the only one who can overturn the chessboard by violence, he can certainly play chess with any chess player at ease.

But even such a smart Jiajing ended up with all his halos shattered by Hai Rui's "Memorial on Public Security". The sentence "Jiajing means that every household is clean and has no money to use" knocked him out of the ranks of wise kings and completely became a laughing stock for all eternity. What about Giuseppe's descendants?

Although the royal power has never been lost due to the guaranteed capabilities gained under high-pressure environments, the fact is that after the storm that swept across almost the entire kingdom, the royal power is no longer the only supreme power.

Therefore, unlike the Glowing Kingdom where the two camps are always pulling each other, the environment of the Deep Forest Kingdom can be said to be quite complicated.

The three major forces of the royal power, the northern border, and the church are evenly matched, and the local nobles are even more numerous. Everywhere is a scene of thriving vitality and competition.

Then why is it that the Deep Forest, where civil strife should have occurred, is as stable as a rock, while the Glow, which is supposed to maintain the balance, is being pulled and spinning like a top?

Because although the royal power is not as strong as that of the North in terms of military strength, it is difficult to order them to do things with an absolutely strong attitude, and they can only make decent monarchical calls.

But correspondingly, in order to guard against invasions by nomadic peoples in the north, the northern border did not dare to act rashly and betray the rear, and always maintained its dignity with the royal power.

Although the church's control at the grassroots level is greater than that of the monarchy, the people are ultimately ruled by local nobles, and even the nobles' master, King Lionheart.

In order to prevent his people from being instigated by the church and causing a super debuff that would cause chaos in the world, King Lionheart must also maintain his respect and support for the church.

As for the relationship between the North and the Church, both sides, whether in the North or the East, have a friendship of fighting side by side as an objective basis for peaceful coexistence.

Moreover, in name, they all have to be subordinate to the royal power. In order to avoid any Lionheart King going crazy, they cannot tear each other apart.

Well, now that these three big guys are in a three-way stalemate and are greeting each other with smiles, the little fleas like the local nobles will naturally have to learn to be honest and humble.

Therefore, under the premise that the internal power of the Deep Forest Kingdom is far more complex than that of the Glow, it has achieved a delicate balance and can even compete in a friendly manner and reasonably involute, which can be called a miracle of Yangyue.

But this was not good news for Ji Ming, because he had already attacked from all sides and was frantically adding sand into the porridge of the people from the deep forest.

But Rose's approach leans towards royal power, Dandelion's approach leans towards the church, even though Christine's approach can barely be considered to lean towards the North!

After working for a long time, he couldn't even hold up a rough piece of cloth, let alone build a complete underground intelligence network.

Therefore, his advice to Aqita was to be more active after returning, to act as if she was eager to make progress, and to emphasize that she was from the West.

"what???"

Aqita was stunned and asked quickly.

"Sir, it's possible, but what's the point of doing so?"

Ji Ming certainly has his own considerations, because in the next period of time, with the launch of the new version, players will inevitably flock to the Lingxi Kingdom located on the other side of the ocean to the west of the deep forest.

Under Ji Ming's instruction, Rose, the chief pioneer of the deep forest, would start crying and complaining everywhere, "Oh my god, why are the pioneers so bad!"

According to the current version of Shenlin, under the heavy pressure of public opinion, no matter which of the three parties, they will have to send personnel to strengthen the defense of the Western Front, otherwise it will be considered as having ill intentions.

At this time, it was the turn of Archbishop Cortes, Archita's immediate superior, to take action. Given his status, even if he could not make a direct appointment, it was obviously no problem for him to give a nomination to his superior.

Then, Aqita, who has shown a strong desire for progress and whose base is in the West and who can seamlessly connect the work, is undoubtedly the best candidate.

Once in the western part of the kingdom, the young royal has enough power to advance his investigation, whether it's collecting information about the local nobles or researching which beaches are suitable for thousands of young fishermen with shaved heads.

But from Ji Ming's perspective, it is not difficult to run this logical chain and let Aqita leave the dangerous middle of the deep forest and come to the west where the church is relatively not so strong.

But as the person involved, Aqita, whose life and property are already in danger, will certainly not easily believe such an outrageous suggestion when he has no idea of the existence of the Ji Ming underground intelligence organization.

So after some hesitation, he still raised his doubts.

"Sir, with my sincerity, I am definitely willing to believe you, but..."

Aqita's hesitation was not surprising to Ji Ming. In other words, if he was like a fool and followed him at the speed of light just because he said a few words, that would be really bad.

Therefore, Ji Ming just smiled and teased.

"Okay, I didn't expect you to be the kind of person who won't release the eagle until you see the rabbit."

"My Lord, I..."

"Don't worry. I am a kind person and I won't deceive others. What's more, you came to me with sincerity."

"That……"

"Here, look at this."

Although Rejuvenation IV has almost become a must-have medicine for almost all players, due to the limitations of the game system, the formula has not been revealed so far.

However, now that the players have become the dominant force, it would be too unconfident to keep this medicine tightly in your hands for fear of backlash if it leaks out.

Therefore, what Ji Ming handed over to Aqita was a secret formula for the fourth generation of rejuvenation, as well as the privilege of allowing him to privately refine the potion and earn funds through underground channels.

Of course, he only has the right to refine and sell, and it must be done in secret, and must not be known to those who should not know, especially those in the Forest Church.

If this brings disaster or even censorship...

Since Ji Ming can defuse the mines in other people's minds, he can naturally also plant mines in other people's minds.

At that time, this part of knowledge in Aqita's brain will be forcibly deleted, and no matter what the result is, she will be abandoned on the spot and never hired again.

But for Aqita, compared with this extremely expensive secret recipe that can make a person rich easily, such a small price is too small.

"My lord, I am willing to offer my loyalty to you!"

He naturally bowed his head, allowing Ji Ming to enjoy the feeling of Long Aotian's tiger body shaking.

"Very good, then follow me."

So after that, under Ji Ming's guidance, he carried out the trial production of the fourth generation of rejuvenation on the spot.

"Zone D! Lord Chosen, is this really the formula for rejuvenation for the fourth generation?"

"Yes."

"Ahem, to be honest, I have also bought rejuvenation liquid on the black market... Area D, the taste is definitely different from this."

"Used to it."

After many optimizations by Ji Ming and the players, the current process of making the rejuvenation liquid is actually much better than before.

Looking back, every time Ji Ming boiled the medicine, he would stir the spoon with the mentality of preparing for death. Now, tsk tsk...

Young people nowadays really cannot endure hardship! .jpg

But it was really hard for Aqita, who participated in the shit-boiling project for the first time. She fought hard for half her life and finally managed to get through the hard times. =

“Hey, that’s the taste!”

After taking a sip of the fourth generation of rejuvenation brewed by himself, he no longer had any complaints.

"Thank you for your guidance. If you need anything in the future, I will go through fire and water for you as long as you give me a command..."

After making promises one after another, Aqita breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that there was finally a little light in her dark life.

Alas, although I don’t know what the purpose of God’s choosing me to be active is, but with such a major investment in hand, he will definitely not give up on me, right?

"Farewell!"

And after Archita happily left the garden and went to look for Archbishop Coster, his immediate superior in a double sense, to curry his favor, although he didn't know it, the three-day diplomatic visit finally came to an end.

During these three days of intensive exchanges, Huiguang and Shenlin fully exchanged views, successfully reached many consensuses, and expressed blessings and expectations for the future peaceful development of the two countries.

In short - oh well, nothing was discussed!

However, although there was indeed no progress at the official level, at the grassroots level, the deep forest merchants who arrived in Huiguang with the sightseeing group did discuss some things behind the scenes.

After all, there are many deep forests and mountains, and the north is extremely cold. Even with the help of the Dense Forest Church, food is still a bit tight. Otherwise, there would not be a need to go down the mountain to rob food and plunder every year in recent years.

Regardless of whether it is a player or a glow, there is more or less a surplus in terms of food. Excluding strategic reserves, taking out a little for cross-border trade is also a way to generate income.

Of course, since it is a seller's market, neither the transaction volume nor the transaction amount can be decided by the people of Shenlin. Overall, Huiguang has made a great comeback.

"Woo woo woo, after all these years, I finally see some money coming back."

But since the Glowing People are satisfied with this deal, it means that the Deep Forest People are extremely dissatisfied with this deal!

"Your Highness, I..."

"Shut up!"

Looking at the price on the list, which was at least unacceptable to Shen Lin, the Third Prince almost blushed.

But according to his father's instructions, he must find a way to bring back more food on this trip, so Gui could only bear it.

Moreover, the matter is done. If we continue to liquidate these damn merchants, we will probably push them out of our camp!

Alas, being a prince is really not an easy job. Aglo could only swallow his anger and accept the number.

"get out."

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness. Thank you for your magnanimity!"

However, although the third prince was very angry, the atmosphere was not bad at all when the delegation was about to leave Qixia City.

"Haha, Old Lijiang, I really hope we can meet again one day."

"Hey, I'm still pretty strong, there shouldn't be any problem!"

Although they were enemies, the two old guys, Lijiang and Xiguang, had a very happy chat and were still in high spirits even when it was time to say goodbye.

Unfortunately, the friendship between one or two senior officials cannot change the general trend of the gradually deteriorating relations between the two countries. Under the bleak sunlight, these two white-haired heads become even more ironic.

"Ugh."

This also made those who could see the situation behind it clearly and did not want the two sides to really tear each other apart and fight each other couldn't help but sigh again.

Before parting, Ji Ming and Christine met again in private.

This exchange was relatively brief, and Ji Ming mainly gave her a series of suggestions for survival according to his new arrangements.

In short, no matter now or in the future, no matter which side you want to stand on, at least in terms of geographical location, you should move as close to the north as possible.

"That way, if something unexpected happens, your uncle or I can at least get you out more smoothly instead of being stuck in there."

Still sitting on the same bench, Ji Ming cleared his throat.

"Also, I hope that the next time we meet, we can still sit down and talk calmly like we did today."

A blush as big as a bowl appeared on Christine's face, and she curled up the corners of her mouth excitedly, revealing a row of white teeth that were bigger than mahjong tiles.

"Well, I'll work hard for it!"

"..."

Difficult to stretch.

After a moment's silence, Ji Ming stood up.

"So, goodbye."

Kristen's face changed and she blinked, as if she wanted to say something.

But in the end he still coughed lightly.

"See you."

……

"Uh...you mean you want me to go first? Then I..."

"No!"

Christine hurriedly called out to Ji Ming who had already turned around, and stood up on her horse's legs like a rising mountain.
