I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon Chapter 346 - The World

Chapter 346: The World

The huge private plane slowly landed on the runway of Xinluo International Airport.

As soon as he stepped out of the plane, he was overwhelmed by a heat wave.

It was almost summer in the southern Zhou.

Although it was night, the temperature was still close to 35 degrees!

Situ He carried his luggage and walked towards the welcoming crowd.

The chairman of the Southern Zhou Council, Wu Qing, who had come to welcome him on behalf of the royal family and the southern Zhou Council, walked up and cupped his hands in greeting. “By the Order of the Emperor, on behalf of the king and all the people of the southern Zhou, I welcome General Situ to take office!”

Situ he only nodded and cupped his hands in return, but he did not speak to him.

Wu Qing was not surprised.

The Blackguard had always been like this, not to mention that the general election was already warming up.

At this time, the higher-ups of the Blackguard would not appear in public to communicate with any official figures.

Especially in an overseas kingdom like the southern Zhou Kingdom, the base of the royalists and conservatives.

He must prevent interference in the election, for Nanzhou Kingdom was said to be a place where the emperor could win even with a dog tied to him!

The royal support rate was 95% !

Among them, the brainless support rate was over 70% !

The core of the Royalist Party!

The paradise of the Old Empire and the Old Republic!

Every household wors.h.i.+pped the portrait of the Emperor and the portraits of the three founding emperors.

They wors.h.i.+pped and wors.h.i.+pped them as G.o.ds!

There was nothing they could do!

In the population structure of the Nanzhou Kingdom, 60% of the population belonged to the merchants of the Shang dynasty or descendants of the Shang dynasty.

As for Taizu, Taizong, and Gaozong, to them, they were the saviors of the world and their people.

For this reason, there was once an incident.

A hundred years ago, the special envoy of the royal family was invited to attend the banquet of the kingdom. At the banquet, the special envoy exchanged a few more words with a representative of the ministers and physicians.

After the news spread, this representative obtained 100% of the votes in his const.i.tuency the next year!

This was because many people believed that the representative was a loyal subject.

Moreover, he was a loyal subject that had been approved by the Emperor’s envoy.

From then on, the imperial family had strict orders: Anyone representing the imperial family was prohibited from talking to representatives of other places in public without permission.

As Situ He walked through the crowd, he came to a bulletproof car with its door open.

“Salute!” The higher-ups of the Blackguard of the Nanzhou Kingdom saluted collectively.

Then, an officer with a long-range satellite communication device walked up and handed it to him. “General, emergency communication in the Metropolitan Territory!”

Situ He took it and looked at the number. He was very familiar with it. It was the headquarters number of the Blackguard in Jiangcheng City.

He pressed the answer b.u.t.ton and sat in the car.

The car started.

Song s.h.i.+hui’s voice came from the phone.

Situ He listened to Song s.h.i.+hui’s explanation, and his eyes slowly lit up.

After Song s.h.i.+hui finished his a.n.a.lysis, Situ He said, “General song, I basically agree with your a.n.a.lysis!”

That proud ancient G.o.d was always like this!

This was his personality. He liked to pa.s.s messages through others.

He tended to use some metaphorical words or words to make others guess his meaning.

Moreover, many times, his words and actions contained more than one layer of meaning.

This was the same as his personality.

He talked and did different things with different people.

When he was with him, it was like playing a puzzle game.

When he came up with a question, everyone would have to guess it.

The difference was that in the puzzle game, it didn’t matter if they guessed wrong. At worst, they could just start all over again.

However, if there was a mistake in his game..

The werewolf clan of land of Qin was a living example!

With the example of the werewolf chicken, the Blackguard could only be a frightened monkey.

“But…” Situ He raised his eyebrows. “I don’t agree with your few judgments…”

“For example…”

“He agreed to the matter of the Fellows.h.i.+p!”

Situ He recalled the feeling he had when he first discovered the fog and walked into it.

At that time, he was like an ignorant insect that had mistakenly entered the civilized world.

Especially that night, he saw the shadow of that person through the door and the window.

At the moment he saw his shadow, he actually had the impulse to eat himself alive!

He still remembered every moment when he interacted and communicated with that person!

Especially that night, the exchange on the night of Teacher’s Day..

Situ He understood that if he wanted to express something.

Then, he would not do useless work.

Every word of his might have a special meaning.

It needed the blackguard to interpret and understand.

Thinking of this, situ he said to Song s.h.i.+hui, “General Song… based on my feeling, he might be… testing us…”

“Testing our sincerity!” Situ He said very seriously.

“What do you mean?” On the phone, Song s.h.i.+hui did not seem to understand.

Situ He asked, “Have you seen Emperor Taizong’s Living Records?”

“I have…”

“Then general should understand…” Situ He said, “That person’s mentality…”

“I can not take it, but you can’t not give it!” Situ He said this phrase that Taizong used to say when he was alive.

Song s.h.i.+hui’s breathing stopped.

“This…” he thought, “It shouldn’t go that far…”

Emperor Taizong was the most troublesome emperor in the history of the Federal Empire.

Because this emperor was not only overbearing, but also suspicious.

In his eyes, civil officials were not trustworthy, and military generals could be the fan town.

Therefore, he would test his officials again and again and again.

To test whether these people were loyal enough to him!

Sometimes, this kind of test even reached the point of making people’s scalps go numb!

He would randomly spot check the promises the ministers made to him.

Once he found that they didn’t do it..

The dragon’s face would be angry, and the entire family would be ash..

Not only that, he would also force the ministers to make promises to him.

Some promises were even obviously impossible to achieve.

However, he was never tired of it.

All his life, this emperor had been on the road of testing people and testing.

Situ he listened to song s.h.i.+hui’s words and said seriously, “Sir, regarding him…”

“It’s better to believe it than not to believe it!”

“Even if it’s only a possibility, it’s enough for us to take it seriously!”

“Moreover…”

“That Secretary has already promised him!”

Song s.h.i.+hui swallowed his saliva.

He finally came to his senses.

Qin Keqing represented the Royal Family!

In other words, in the other party’s eyes, this little secretary was not only a mouthpiece that he could use.

It was also a mouthpiece that the federal empire and the Blackguard would use to communicate with him.

Therefore, he might really believe it!

“I got it!” Song s.h.i.+hui hung up the phone and wiped the sweat on his forehead.

He was extremely glad now!

“As expected, a person’s wisdom is inevitably biased!”

…

He finished the report.

Qin Keqing was taken out of the underground base of the Blackguard.

It was already night.

She looked back at the building behind her, picked up her phone, and turned on the screen.

At this moment, a number appeared on the screen.

It was Crown Princess Rou’an’s private number.

Qin Keqing carefully picked it up.

“Secretary Qin…” The cold voice of the crown princess came from the phone. “I’ve already read your report…”

“From now on, the Committee of Meritorious Children will suspend all other work on hand…”

“Gather all strength and prepare for the fellows.h.i.+p party next month…”

“I request that at the Fellows.h.i.+p Party next month, you see all the ‘high-quality unmarried women’ in the country and even in the world…”

“You and the committee members should first draw up a list!”

Qin Keqing’s heart pounded when she heard this.

Crown Princess Rou’an’s order really surprised her, for the whole world was a very big category!

In the context of the traditional culture of the federal empire, it was more or less the meaning of the known world.

And now, it was the description of the region that was dominated by the federal empire.

According to the interpretation of the intellectuals in Xinluo, Fu sang, Jiaozhi, and other countries, the Federal Empire, the royal kingdom, the various countries, and the other countries..

The emperor resided in the royal kingdom, while the feudal va.s.sals were scattered all over the world.

This was a blatant attempt to brush aside the boundaries, attempting to revive the traditional tributary system and return to the Old Order of the past two thousand years.

This was naturally resolutely rejected by the Federal Empire.

“All of you have already grown up! You are now independent countries! Don’t count on the support of your cultural father! You should rely on your own strength!”

However, the concept of the world was so deeply rooted that the intellectuals from the various countries were also unwilling to give up.

Therefore, the so-called world included the Federal Empire’s metropolitan territory, three overseas kingdoms, two overseas autonomous prefectures, as well as the Fusang, Silla, and Nanyang countries.

It was a vast world indeed.

Qin Keqing took a deep breath and said, “Your Highness… This… isn’t necessary…”

The imperial family of the Empire took the initiative to shout and call out to the world.

All the countries would definitely partic.i.p.ate enthusiastically.

Even their enthusiasm would soar!

However, this might bring about consequences.

The consequences would be the revival of the suzerain and va.s.sal sentiments and the tribute system that the Federal Empire had gone through great difficulty to suppress.

The number of people who brushed past the boundaries would increase rapidly!

Especially Xinluo and Fu sang!

But the truth was…

The Empire would never accept them! It was even more impossible to restore the imperial tributary system from the past!

Respect for the sovereignty of other countries and all countries were equal regardless of size.

This was a rule set by the great ancestor.

The imperial tributary system and the suzerain-va.s.sal system were destroyed by the great ancestor himself.

In this case, if the royal family gave hope to others, they would extinguish it.

This could very well cause a series of unrest.

On the phone, Crown Princess Rou’an’s voice sounded leisurely, “Then just explain it to them clearly!”

“Let’s make it clear in advance that this is only an invitation, and it doesn’t include any factors of governance…”

Qin Keqing was completely dumbfounded when she heard this.

This was because she understood that doing this was actually useless.

It was just like when a sc.u.mbag on campus said to a girl who adored him, “I want to invite you to my birthday party… Don’t get me wrong, I’m not confessing to you…”

Guess, did that girl really think that it was just a simple invitation?

A girl who was blinded by love would only imagine the plot of 10,000 tyrannical individuals in her mind.

Unfortunately, the federal empire was extremely attractive to all the countries in the world!

They didn’t even need to hook their fingers. They only needed to send out a signal and countless moths would rush towards the fire!

Just like love, once the suzerain and va.s.sal plots and tributary plots were reignited, it wouldn’t be so easy to extinguish them.

Who asked the federal empire to have a fatal attraction to all the countries within the radiation range?

However, Qin Keqing knew that Crown Princess Rou’an had already made a decision.

This was something that couldn’t be changed!

Thus, she could only say, “Yes! This humble subject will do my best to do it!”

She could only do her best to explain.

To prevent the fire from burning too brightly!

Of course, Qin Keqing understood that once the fire was lit, it would inevitably burn up.

Two thousand years of firewood, plus three hundred years of propaganda and facts.

The country within it would inevitably fall into it.

Didn’t they notice that even when the empire had clearly stated many times that they refused to recognize and had no intention of restoring the suzerain-va.s.sal system, Xinluo and Fu sang still continued to submit their applications?

…

After writing another chapter, Ling Ping’an gladly made himself a cup of tea.

He took a sip, and it was very fragrant!

“That’s Great!” The young bookstore owner said.

He had already forgotten about what happened this morning.

Hmm..

If there was any trouble, he would use other things to dilute the trouble.

Then, he would learn from the ostrich. As long as he buried his brains in the sand, he could pretend that there was no trouble.

Anyway…

It would be more than a month later if there was trouble.

Now, he just needed to be optimistic.

Raising his head, he looked at the clock on the wall.

It was already nine o’clock in the evening!

“Hmm…” He remembered. “It seems that Guangnan district will open the college entrance examination results inquiry at nine o’clock in the evening today…”

“Let me see the results of this year’s college entrance examination in Jiangcheng City…”

So, he turned on the television.

The moment he turned on the television, it was the special program for this year’s college entrance examination.

In the studio, experts and scholars were already in position.

A countdown appeared in the background.

A line of large words appeared on it: there is still 0:55 until Guangnan District’s college entrance examination results are announced..

The hosts and guests all had smiles on their faces.

Ling Ping’an knew at a glance that the college entrance exam this year would be a sure thing.

At the very least, Jiangcheng city had probably turned the tables on Bao’an City!

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been so relaxed!

The three hundred years of the Federal Empire had created a unique ‘test ecology’.

It was similar to the ecology of sports and e-sports.

Every city was very concerned about their college entrance exam results.

This led to compet.i.tion and comparisons between different regions, which led to the development of similar ‘enemies’ relations.h.i.+ps.

For example, the Guangnan region was constantly competing with the neighboring Jingchu region.

Within the Guangnan region, Bao’an and Jiangcheng had been competing for the exam for hundreds of years.

There were even some busybodies who dated back to the Tang and Song dynasties.

In any case, those who won would be ridiculed on the forums.

There were always ‘barbarians’, ‘vulgar villages’, and ‘places where etiquette was lacking’.

To the people of the federal empire, this kind of public ridicule was comparable to being pointed at the back of their spine!

In this case, the college entrance exam results were not only related to the students, but was also the political achievements of the officials!

At the same time, it was also the honor of the entire city and the entire region!
