Chapter 139 Chapter 138 Plan Acceleration
Half an hour passed quickly.
As expected, the remaining soul guides were indeed just soul guides, and no more artifact hearts appeared.
Fortunately, Lin Chuan had been mentally prepared, so he did not feel disappointed. Being able to obtain a divine inheritance in this treasure house was already a pleasant surprise.
You know, this is not an ordinary divine position. The Earth God and the Sea God are both first-level gods.
Of course, it is not clear who is stronger between the two.
"What a harvest!"
Seeing that the time is about to end, Lin Chuan no longer dwells on the horns and picks up the star sand that has been selected long ago, along with the black token.
Going downstairs quickly, Dugu Yan and other girls have been waiting outside the treasure house for a long time.
Seeing Lin Chuan appear in the passage, several people immediately hurried forward.
"My Lord, you are finally out. How is the harvest? Did you choose a satisfactory treasure?"
The old eunuch who had been waiting for a long time came forward to ask at the first time.
Lin Chuan chuckled, "It's OK. The treasury of the empire is really too big, with countless treasures. I was a little dazzled for a while, so I only chose two treasures that I liked."
Without hiding, he showed the black token and star sand to everyone.
Before entering the treasury, all soul guides were left outside. Moreover, this is the Tiandou Palace. No one is so stupid as to be bold enough to steal treasures.
"Your Majesty, don't be disappointed. As long as you make great contributions to the empire in the future, His Majesty will definitely reward you again."
Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a smile appeared in his heart.
Even the eunuchs are always conveying the idea of loyalty to the empire. They are really worthy of being the personal eunuchs of Emperor Xue Ye. If you are not careful, you may really be led away by him.
It's a pity that the Tiandou treasury is precious to most people, but it is not so attractive to Lin Chuan, but the surface work is still necessary.
Lin Chuan immediately responded with a smile, "That's great, I hope I can come here again!"
The old eunuch smiled and flattered with a sharp voice, "With your talent, you will definitely make great achievements in the future. Maybe next time we meet, I will change my name."
"My Lord, you are so good at talking. Let me borrow your good words!"
Good guy, he is really a professional. He is so accurate in flattering people. It makes people feel very comfortable without any sound.
No wonder so many emperors in the past favored eunuchs. It's not without reason.
...
In the next few days, Tiandou City fell into jubilation.
After decades, Tiandou Empire once again won the championship of the Elite Competition of Advanced Soul Master Academy in the whole continent. Emperor Xue Ye would naturally not miss this good opportunity to show his power.
Under the deliberate propaganda of the empire, the whole Tiandou City celebrated.
Various evening parties, award ceremonies, gods and marquisate ceremonies, countless Tiandou people know one thing, that is, the Tiandou Empire has added a great noble with a territory!
The purpose of Emperor Xue Ye is self-evident, which is to give the outside world an ambiguous message, so that they think Lin Chuan has surrendered to the Tiandou Empire, and thus set up this signboard to attract more soul masters to join.
Lin Chuan is also very clear about this, and did not refuse, but cooperated very well.
After all the celebration ceremonies were over, someone from the Tiandou Palace came to discuss with Lin Chuan about the choice of territory and the style of the noble badge.
Lin Chuan had already discussed these two issues with others.
The final selected territory is located in Shuofeng Lengyuan, at the junction of two provinces, and only three hundred miles away from Tianshui City, which can be said to be quite close.
In the entire territory, there is a main city called Xueyuan City, two small cities, four small towns, and about a hundred villages, with a total population of about 200,000.
Among all the territories that can be selected, it is not the best, but it is the closest to Tianshui City.
Lin Chuan does not intend to run too far, and the territory is located in the northeast of Tiandou City, far away from Wuhun City and Xingluo Empire. Even if a war breaks out in the future, this will not be the first crossfire area.
In general, Lin Chuan is quite satisfied with this territory.
Of course, the most important point is that being close to Tianshui City means that Tianshui College can provide some talents to help manage the territory every year.
Only with enough soul masters can the territory be truly supported.
Of course, it is also because Lin Chuan wants to be a hands-off boss, managing the affairs of the territory and developing the territory economy. Things like this should be left to others!
After that, Xue Qinghe invited Lin Chuan to visit the Prince's Mansion again.
Although he did not say it explicitly, the close attitude expressed the intention of winning over all the time.
Lin Chuan did not fully express his position, and kept pretending to be with him. In the end, on the day they left Tiandou City, Xue Qinghe still did not get the answer he wanted.
So after everything was over, everyone from Tianshui College left Tiandou City together.
Watching the backs of the group gradually going away, Xue Qinghe frowned secretly, feeling quite helpless.
This little guy, although he is not very old, his way of doing things is as cunning as those old foxes. The advantage is that he accepts everyone who comes, but his attitude is ambiguous.
However, he can have such a cultivation at such a young age, and he can hide it until the end before being exposed. Naturally, he can't be a stupid person, and it is normal that he won't express his attitude casually.
But no matter what, at least Lin Chuan has now become a powerful noble in the Tiandou Empire.
Even if he doesn't express his position now, when he inherits the throne and leads the Wuhun Palace to unify the continent, even if the other party has other ideas, the situation will be over.
'If you still don't want to be loyal...'
Xue Qinghe narrowed his eyes slightly, and strange lights flashed in his eyes.
With his current strength, he couldn't subdue Lin Chuan, so he could only wait until he passed the divine examination and achieve the rank of angel. Even if Lin Chuan had powerful soul skills, it would still be of no avail.
There is a dimensional gap between a soul master and a god!
This is why Xue Qinghe is so confident and is not in a hurry to kill everyone.
Perhaps in the original work, the reason why she didn't kill Tang San was because she was very confident in her own talent and strength.
Unfortunately, being too confident is sometimes not a good thing.
The backs of everyone in Tianshui Academy completely disappeared. Xue Qinghe looked away, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp.
"Go back home!"
The carriage slowly drove into the Prince's Mansion.
Xue Qinghe dismissed the servants and returned to the room alone.
"Uncle She!"
After a soft cry, Snake Spear Douluo appeared in the room out of thin air.
"Little Lord!"
"How is the investigation going for you?" Xue Qinghe said indifferently without wasting time.
Snake Spear Douluo slowly raised his head, "Back to Young Master, my subordinates have been following your instructions these past few days to monitor Xue Beng's every move, and indeed found something abnormal."
"oh?!"
Xue Qinghe raised his eyebrows slightly and suddenly became interested, "Go on!"
"Xue Beng's daily state is no different from the past. It's just that last night, he took people to Xuexing Mansion. After his subordinates followed, they happened to overhear them discussing whether to win over Lin Chuan."
Snake Spear Douluo spoke in a deep voice what he saw and heard.
Hearing this, Xue Qinghe's face suddenly darkened, and he sneered, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
"Haha, my cheap brother and my cheap uncle, I originally thought they were both losers, but I didn't expect they were hidden so deeply. They really gave me a big surprise!"
At this moment, Xue Qinghe also realized that he looked down on others.
After getting rid of several princes one after another, due to fear of arousing Emperor Xue Ye's suspicion and the stupid look shown by Xue Beng, he let them go.
Unexpectedly, he was the one who was fooled all along!
It's really cool to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger in order to survive!
"Young Master, do you need your subordinates to get rid of Xue Beng and Xue Xing?" Snake Spear Douluo took the initiative.
Xue Qinghe glanced at him and slowly shook his head, "Now is not the time. If Xue Beng and Xue Xing die one after another, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of Emperor Xue Ye, which will be very detrimental to our plan."
"Then what should we do?" Snake Spear Douluo asked again.
I saw a cold smile suddenly appear on Xue Qinghe's face, "Don't worry, since you know that Xue Beng is pretending to be stupid, it's nothing to worry about. After all, he doesn't have much power, and he can't even be favored. The only supporter is me. The good uncle is just one person."
"The top priority now is to inherit the throne. As long as I sit in that position, I can create a small avalanche and snow star. Isn't it easy to catch it?"
Even at this time, Xue Qinghe still did not pay attention to Xue Beng.
Some people pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, and they are really tigers, but some people pretend to be pigs, but they really become pigs!
"Young Master is wise!"
Seeing that Xue Qinghe had his own plans, Snake Spear Douluo didn't say anything more.
He is just an assistant sent by Wuhun Palace. He obeys Xue Qinghe's orders unconditionally. No matter what the latter says, he just needs to do it.
If the plan fails due to his own fault, he cannot bear this responsibility.
"Uncle She, I remember that members of the Youpo clan should be imprisoned in the Wuhun Palace, right?"
Snake Spear Douluo came back to his senses, and after thinking briefly, he nodded slightly, "Back to Young Master, there is indeed a member of the Po Yi Clan, and he is also the younger brother of the current leader of the Po Yi Clan!"
"Very good, then please make another trip and let him improve the poison. Be sure to increase the toxicity while remaining undetected. I can't wait that long!"
The most important thing now is to let Emperor Xueye abdicate and then take control of the Tiandou Empire as soon as possible.
"Subordinate, go now!"
After Snake Spear Douluo left these words, he turned into a black shadow and disappeared.
…
The undercurrent in Tiandou City did not affect Lin Chuan's life.
They did not return to Tianshui College immediately, but came to the only main city in Linchuan's territory, Xueyuan City.
After getting off the carriage and looking at the tall and prosperous city in front of him, Lin Chuan couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
