The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 41 Let's eat the meat first.

It's like being fed grass; if you don't eat it, you're mistreating yourself.

But Qin Hao also understood.

Since Emperor Hengming provided grass to eat, it meant that horses would be needed to run afterward.

But now, with his small arms and legs, he can't go against it.

All we can do is eat the bait first.

We'll talk about what happens next.

After leaving the imperial city, Qin Hao went straight to the Six Doors.

He Qizhi was waiting here.

"My lord, from now on, Qin Hao will be working under you. Please take care of him."

He Qizhi smiled and nodded: "That's easy. In fact, you should have already obtained permission to establish your own government and military headquarters. From this point of view, you are not under the jurisdiction of my Six Doors."

Qin Hao immediately said, "His Majesty has appointed me as a bronze-badged constable of the Six Doors. The affairs of the Six Doors are my affairs."

He Qizhi seemed quite satisfied with Qin Hao's tact and offered a few words of advice.

Qin Hao then took the opportunity to ask a few more questions: "I wonder if the headquarters of the Six Doors can send someone to assist me in establishing a branch of the Six Doors in Fuyu County?"

He Qizhi smiled and declined, saying, "Since His Majesty has given you the authority to establish your own government and military headquarters, it's best if you recruit all the personnel yourself."

When Qin Hao emerged from the Six Doors, there was no smile on his face.

The pressure is immense.

Qin Hao knew that Emperor Hengming seemed to be asking him to establish his own government and military headquarters.

However, they also included the Marquis of Anyuan in their scheme.

As for whether there are any other schemes behind this, it's too early to tell.

On his way back, news that Qin Hao was going to Fuyu County to rebuild the Six Doors had already spread throughout the capital.

These people are really well-informed.

The Marquis of Weiling's Residence.

Marquis Weiling sighed, "It really is going to Fuyu County. It's very dangerous there. I don't know if today's risky trip will be a blessing or a curse."

Chu Zishao laughed and said, "No matter what, we'll just sit back and watch the show when there are benefits to be had in Fuyu County. If there are benefits, we'll go; if not, we won't. As for that Heavenly Book Stele?"

Chu Zishao's smile vanished, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "My cultivation level is still low, so the Heavenly Book Stele didn't really help much. Although I lost a wrist, it's all healed now. At least I didn't get caught up in the vortex of Fuyu County."

Qin Hao had no idea what had happened at the Marquis of Weiling's residence, but he could probably guess.

Upon returning to his residence, Qin Zhenyuan dismissed all the servants.

Then he said, "I originally thought it was to resolve the conflict between the two prefectures and also to warn those candidates for the Holy Son. It turns out that the matter of Fuyu Prefecture is also involved."

The Earl of Anyuan was not of high status and was not well-informed.

The situation in the capital is one thing, but news from Fuyu Prefecture is too isolated.

Chu Xiuying frowned: "It seems I need to go back to my parents' home. I also need to make some contact with people in Fuyu County."

They already knew that Qin Hao had obtained permission to establish his own government and military headquarters.

In other words, the Great Xia Dynasty allowed Qin Hao to establish his own government, recruit soldiers, and build his own private army.

This is a formally established position; the Ministry of Revenue allocates a batch of resources to it every year.

Similar to the Marquis of Weiling's mansion, it did not have its own mansion. In addition to the private soldiers attached to the title, it also needed to pay their own salaries.

The others were either guards or servants, or worshippers.

None of them are on the official payroll.

Qin Zhenyuan said, "Later, I'll transfer a hundred men to you to lay a solid foundation for you."

Qin Hao nodded: "Consider it a temporary assignment. I'll cover all the resource expenses. I'll also send him back to my grandfather later."

These people all belong to the Crimson Dragon Army.

If he takes it away, he won't return it.

This means that the Red Dragon Army under my grandfather's command has permanently reduced its quota by one hundred people.

This is not okay.

After discussing it for a while, Qin Zhenyuan also shared some of his experiences from his previous visit to the Heavenly Book Stele.

"Once you arrive at the destination, you'll sense the Heavenly Book Steles and naturally know which one is most useful to you." Qin Hao asked curiously, "Does the Heavenly Book Stele contain any content? Is it some kind of cultivation scripture?"

Qin Zhenyuan shook his head: "If it is called a celestial book, then it is a celestial book. There are no words on it, only some faint patterns, somewhat similar to cloud scrolls, but different."

It turned out to be the case.

Qin Hao nodded, said a few more words, and then took his leave and returned to his own courtyard.

At this moment, he could no longer suppress his excitement.

Although he had guessed it, the Marquis of Weiling's mansion was better informed than they were.

They probably knew what might be involved behind this battle of wits.

Therefore, Qin Hao prepared so much for this battle of wits.

In reality, it was never used.

I was indeed confused at first, but now I understand everything.

Information is indeed very important.

"However, what you gain is proportional to what you lose. If you don't dare to take a chance, you'll naturally miss out on these benefits."

Whether it's finding out the whereabouts of the golden thread treasure or this star-guiding ship, it's a great gain.

Qin Hao took out the Star-Guiding Boat, probed it with his spiritual power, and slowly refined it.

In his mind, the Hongmeng Mirror vibrated, causing Qin Hao to accelerate the refining of this magical artifact.

In just one hour, Qin Hao had completely refined the treasure ship.

The next moment, a point of primordial light descended.

Qin Hao sensed that the Star-Guiding Boat had been upgraded to a spiritual artifact as soon as it trembled.

The difference between spiritual artifacts and magical artifacts lies in their spirituality.

The artifact possesses spirituality, its energy utilization rate increases, and its power more than doubles.

This Star-Guiding Boat, besides having a Star-Guiding Array, can draw starlight to assist its owner in cultivation.

It can also condense star silver, making it a kind of production-type formation.

In addition, there are seven star-guiding cannons that can release star rays as a means of attack.

It can also condense a star shield to protect the treasure ship.

At this moment, with the blessing of the Primordial Light, the number of the seven Star-Guiding Cannons doubled, making a total of fourteen.

Moreover, its power has also increased significantly.

"A martial artist in the second realm, if locked on, probably can't escape. Even a third realm martial artist?"

Well, it's hard to say about the third realm.

Qin Hao has not yet come into contact with the methods of the third realm, so it is difficult for him to make an evaluation.

"There's no need to rush with the Heavenly Book Stele. My strength has been growing rapidly recently. It's not too late to study it two months later. I'll leave a month for a buffer."

Three months later, a flying ship from the Six Doors will take him to Fuyu County.

There's not much to worry about on the road.

"However, the Dragon Palace of Luoxing Lake is located in Fuyu Prefecture. Perhaps Emperor Hengming's plan was not without reason. Perhaps even the fact that Marquis Weiling received the news was part of Emperor Hengming's plan?"

Qin Hao shut out these random thoughts and began to meditate.

As night fell, Qin Hao suddenly opened his eyes.

A large amount of fog was rising from the surrounding area.

This?
Qin Hao was somewhat shocked. This was in the capital city, inside the An Yuan Earl's residence.

Who has the means to release such a large amount of fog?

My grandfather, Qin Zhenyuan, was a martial arts practitioner who was suspected to be at the third level, even if his methods were not as good as those of a Qi Refiner.

However, their perception of danger is far stronger than that of Qi cultivators.

It's a blessing, not a curse, but it's a curse that cannot be avoided.

Let's investigate first.

Thank you Su Luojun for the 1500 reward.
