C988 Fire Phoenix's Technique 2
If you fall behind, you'll get beaten up, which is a rule that never changes, and if you want others to not dare to act recklessly, there's only one way, and that is to increase strength.
Unfortunately, the increase in strength wasn't something that could be achieved overnight. Even someone like Lee Hao, who possessed heaven-defying abilities, had no choice but to lie low and accumulate his strength.
"If the Fallen Immortal City really has the new type of warship that Pingwu King mentioned, Housekeeper Shen, have you thought about it? Even if the Jin State has the production method, how long will it take for it to be produced? How much can it produce? "
Huo Fenghuang smiled faintly and said, "The Sihai Commerce Alliance also has warships. I also know about them. It was not easy to manufacture a new model of warship, not to mention the small shipyard in Jin State. Even the shipyard of the top forces in Spirit Realm will need hundreds of years to understand the pattern of the warship."
"This is still an ideal situation. If the information we get is not complete, and there is a lack of any important nodes, we will need at least thousands of years to deduce it. Repeating it repeatedly, do we still have time in Jin State?"
Shen Lang was stumped. That's right. Obtaining a more powerful warship could increase one's strength, but it was not easy to build a warship. Even if the Jin State used all the power in the province, how much could they produce?
Ten ships? A hundred? They were all useless, only tens of thousands of warships had the power to destroy the world.
"Miss Huo, what do you mean?" Shen Lang had some guesses in his heart.
Huo Fenghuang did not answer but talked about something else. "Jin State belongs to the Great Zhou. Although the luck is unique, Gold King is still a prince of Great Zhou Dynasty. Although the Son of Heaven of Great Zhou has a cold temperament, Gold King's ancestor was a meritorious official of Great Zhou. The Son of Heaven of the Great Zhou will never attack the Jin State directly. That will only put everyone in danger."
"If the Son of Heaven of Great Zhou wants to give the throne of the King of Jin State to his third son, he can only use the old method."
"However, the Third Prince, Ji Xing, has an eccentric temperament. He is even more impatient when it comes to matters. He doesn't have any patience at all. He won't be able to wait that long."
"According to my guess, he will definitely beg the Great Zhou Emperor to personally deal with this matter."
"What? The Third Prince, Ji Xing, is coming to Jin State?" Shen Lang turned pale with fright. Although Ji Xing's cultivation base wasn't high, and he was only at the Deification Period, his status was extremely noble. When he went out, he would at least have a Divine Clone Realm cultivator accompanying him.
Divine Clone Realm! This wasn't a child's play. A single person could withstand thousands of warships, and with the combined strength of Wei Hai and An Yuan, Jin State would be in danger!
Seeing Shen Lang's frightened look, Huo Fenghuang laughed without a care in the world. The Jin State only had this bit of ability, yet they still had enemies everywhere. She really did not know how the word "death" was written.
"Steward Shen, these are all my guesses. As for whether Ji Xing will come or not, that will depend on his thoughts. But I guess the possibility of him coming is high."
"This... this..." Shen Lang instantly lost his composure. With the arrival of the Prince of Great Zhou, would Jin State still have any room for negotiation?
"Miss Huo, you must save Jin State!"
Shen Lang begged. He did not know Huo Fenghuang's exact identity, but to be able to make the Sihai Commerce Alliance's branch hall, Pavilion Master, treat her respectfully, it could be imagined that Huo Fenghuang's status in the Sihai Commerce Alliance was definitely not low.
Sihai Commerce Alliance. It was a huge power not inferior to the Great Zhou Dynasty. In terms of financial resources, it was even more powerful than Great Zhou. As long as they were willing to help, even if it was just a secret help, the Jin State would be safe and sound.
"No way! No way!" Huo Fenghuang firmly refused, "Revealing so much important information to Gold King this time has violated the rules of the Merchant Union. When we go back, we will definitely be punished. If I interfere personally, I am afraid I will die faster than Gold King. "
This was what Huo Fenghuang said half-heartedly. What she really wanted to say was... If Gold King had the ability to let Sihai Commerce Alliance earn five trillion Spirit Stone a year, even if the Great Zhou Dynasty wanted to kill him personally... The Sihai Commerce Alliance would protect Gold King with all their might.
Unfortunately, this was impossible.
The most profitable business in Jin State was the warship, and the Sihai Commerce Alliance could also produce warships and produce better ones. However, because Tiannan County was too poor, the Sihai Commerce Alliance couldn't be bothered to sell them here.
The transportation of warships was not like other materials. Transportation was too inconvenient, not to mention it was not a one-time deal.
After selling the warships, you must provide some after-sales service! For example, the cannon barrels, or how the warship was repaired after being damaged.
Originally, the Sihai Commerce Alliance's warships were expensive. Tiannan County could not afford a few of them, and they still needed to provide these services. The cost would instantly increase by many times, so it would be better not to sell them.
The maintenance of the warships was not that simple. Without a huge shipyard, it would not be possible to complete it.
Shen Lang looked a little lonely. He knew that his request was a little too much. It was already very rare that Huo Fenghuang could give him so much important information this time.
"Miss Huo, thank you for your help to Jin State this time. If there is a chance in the future, Jin State will definitely be at Miss's command."
Shen Lang was about to leave dejectedly, but Huo Fenghuang said again, "The path of the great path is left with a line. If you put your life on the line, you will be able to survive. There is no such thing as death in this world. Jin State seems to be surrounded by enemies, but there is still a chance to turn the situation around."0
Shen Lang's footsteps paused, and hope appeared on his face. He urgently said, "Miss Huo, please point the way."
"Jin State needs strong support!" After saying that, Huo Fenghuang left.
"Strong support? Strong support?" Shen Lang sat on the chair and carefully savored the meaning of Huo Fenghuang's last sentence.
Huo Fenghuang was not an ordinary person. Shen Lang believed that the other party would not joke with him. The last sentence must have hidden a hidden meaning.
Speaking of strong reinforcement, Sihai Commerce Alliance was undoubtedly the best choice. However, Huo Fenghuang had already made it clear that Sihai Commerce Alliance would not help Jin State.
Sihai Commerce Alliance was the biggest Merchant Union in Spirit Realm. He was unwilling to interfere in the internal affairs of the Great Zhou. It was obviously unrealistic for him to rely on those small-scale Merchant Union.
If the Merchant Union was excluded, what kind of reinforcement could the Jin State invite?
The first was, of course, the other three lords with different surnames in the Great Zhou. They were strong, and the declining Jin State could not be compared to them.
They were supposed to be natural allies, but unfortunately, they were the most impossible allies.
It was too far away. The water could not save the fire. By the time they sent their troops over, the Jin State would have already changed owners.
The second person Shen Lang thought of was King Wei Sea King and King An Yuan. They were the kings of two counties in Jin State. They were very powerful and could be called strong reinforcements.
However, this was not realistic. The kings were the kings of the Great Zhou, and they obeyed the orders of the emperor. It was already fortunate that they did not cause trouble. It was wishful thinking to expect their help.
And then?
Shen Lang had a clear understanding of the various major powers around the Jin State. Although there were still many sects and organizations in the south of the Great Zhou, there were none that could be considered as strong reinforcements.
"Who exactly does Huo Fenghuang refer to as strong reinforcement?" Shen Lang was a little confused. At this moment, a name appeared in his mind.
"Fallen Immortal City!"
That's right, it was the Fallen Immortal City. Unbelievable! But from some clues, one could still see some doubts.
This time, Huo Fenghuang appeared for no reason and revealed a lot of information. Who was the one who benefited in the end?
