Chapter 13840 Recruiting Heroes from All Over the World
As he spoke, Ji Mingkong subconsciously raised his hand and quickly formed a concealment seal in the air. He glanced vigilantly at the palace door that had not yet completely closed, as if he was afraid that there were lurking uninvited guests who would eavesdrop on the confidential matters that were about to be discussed in the palace.
Hearing the voice, Jin Ruoxi stood up lightly, her wide sleeves fluttering like flowing clouds, sweeping across the thick dust that had accumulated over the years on the stone bench, startling a few wisps of dust that flew wildly in the beam of light coming through the window lattice, like elves dancing happily.
With a gentle smile on her lips, she said softly, "The Empress is very busy and has devoted all her energy to the reconstruction and stability of this city. How could Ruoxi not know the hardships involved?"
Her smile is like the spring sun, soft and warm, but if you look closely, you can find that deep in her eyes, she is deeply worried about the future of the city, and has an eager expectation that is difficult to conceal.
Ji Mingkong slowly sat down opposite Jin Ruoxi. The stone bench collided heavily with the soles of her black iron boots, making a dull and heavy sound that echoed in the empty hall.
She looked solemn and serious, and asked directly: "Looking at the young lady, you have come here specially and look so solemn, I guess you have something very important to discuss?"
As she spoke, she subconsciously stroked the dragon-patterned token on her waist. This key certificate that could command and mobilize all the warriors in the empire and control the world's military power seemed to suddenly become a thousand pounds heavy in her palm, weighing her down so heavily that her heartbeat unconsciously quickened a few degrees.
"That's right." Jin Ruoxi's expression suddenly became serious, and her eyebrows, which were originally as soft as water, were instantly tinged with a sharp and fierce look, like a cold sword drawn from its sheath.
"Now that Tyrant City has just started to be rebuilt, there are many things to be done. There are difficult problems everywhere in the city that need to be solved urgently. Does the Queen have a long-term and comprehensive plan for the future of this city?"
Her voice was steady and powerful, and echoed clearly in the hall. However, upon closer listening, there was also a subtle hint of caution, as if she was testing something.
Ji Mingkong smiled bitterly and shook his head gently. He looked calm and said without reservation: "To be honest, young lady, I am worried about this matter. Every step on the road to reconstruction is extremely difficult, just like walking on thin ice. If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss. If you have any good ideas, please tell me directly, and don't hide them."
Her eyes were full of anticipation, as if she had seen a glimmer of light that might bring hope in the endless darkness.
"I intend to reopen the trade route in Batian City." Seeing that Ji Mingkong was hesitant to speak, Jin Ruoxi immediately raised her hand, made a calm gesture, and continued.
"I know that the Empress is worried about the risks involved, but I have another plan. We can use the city lord's name to send out invitations and sincerely invite the royal family, Xuantian Temple and other powerful forces to move in.
We will set aside a special area in the city for them to establish a chamber of commerce or a stronghold, charge a reasonable rent, and set a corresponding period of time. This way, we can enrich and prosper the newly built Tyrant City, and cleverly distract the attention of the Holy Church, so that they will not have time to pay too much attention to our movements. "
She spoke slowly, and each word was as clear and mellow as a pearl, with a resounding voice. She looked directly at Ji Mingkong with a firm gaze, trying to convince him with this detailed plan.
The empress frowned instantly and fell into deep thought.
Her eyes were fixed on the shocking cracks on the ground, as if she could see through these cracks, through the layers of fog, and explore the future direction of the city.
"But why are they willing to take the risk and come here? The current situation is still unclear. This Tyrant City is just a dangerous place that is still under reconstruction. If we are not careful, we may fall into a desperate situation from which there is no recovery."
Her voice was filled with deep doubts, and the worries in her heart were like a surging tide, one wave after another, constantly surging.
Jin Ruoxi stood in the residual light of the meeting hall, her posture upright, her eyes twinkling with stars, revealing an unquestionable certainty.
She raised her chin slightly, and looked into the distance with a determined gaze, as if she had seen the prosperous future of Tyrant City, and slowly said:
"They will! This Tyrant City was originally named Zhaixing Tower City, and it is not a false name. Looking back to the past, this place was filled with spiritual energy, like a dream, and was a rare holy place for cultivation in the world.
The exotic flowers and plants all over the mountains contain the essence of heaven and earth. When breathing in and out, the spiritual energy will flow into the warrior's body like a trickle;
The spiritual spring in the mountains gurgles, the water is clear and sweet, and after taking a sip, you will feel refreshed, your meridians will be unblocked, and your cultivation speed will increase several times. "
Her voice was clear and melodious, echoing in the hall, carrying with it a sense of remembrance and pride of past glory.
"And the legendary Zhaixing Tower is even more mysterious. It is said to be a magical weapon left by ancient warriors. It towers into the clouds and reaches the sky, as if it can talk to the stars.
The building was flashing with colorful light, and each ray of light contained a powerful force. Once activated, it would have the power to destroy the world.
The Holy Temple has always coveted this city, attempting to take it for itself, and has even launched several large-scale wars for this purpose.
But even if they came out in full force and used every possible means, they still failed to seize it. Now, if we allow other forces to enter and jointly protect this precious land, it would be a blessing for them!"
At this point, Jin Ruoxi's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a confident smile, as if she had already seen the scene of those forces flocking in and injecting new vitality into Batian City.
"Of course, they also need to be courageous enough to step into this seemingly calm but actually turbulent situation. But I believe that, if nothing else, at least the royal family will definitely come."
Jin Ruoxi changed the subject, her tone becoming more confident and revealing an accurate assessment of the situation.
"This generation's crown prince Liu Heng is no ordinary person. He has been extremely intelligent since childhood, well-read, and has unique insights into military strategies and statecraft. He has great ambitions and is eager to achieve great things in this chaotic world and achieve an immortal hegemony.
Moreover, he is decisive and resolute. Once he sets a goal, he will go all out and never back down. How could such a courageous person miss this great opportunity of Tyrant City? "
"What's more, the royal family is now tied to our Tyrant Empire. Before, when the Holy Temple attacked, our Tyrant Empire and the royal family worked hand in hand to resist the foreign enemy.
In that tragic battle, the soldiers of both sides shared the same hatred and fought bloody battles, forging a deep friendship. Now, as Tyrant City is being rebuilt, the royal family will certainly not sit idly by and will definitely come to help and protect this land with us."
Jin Ruoxi's analysis was clear and logical, which made Ji Mingkong nod secretly.
Ji Mingkong nodded slightly, a trace of solemnity flashed across her delicate face, she paced slowly, lost in thought. (End of this chapter)
