434 This black pot is beautiful (four thousand chapters, He Zhongqiu)(1/2)
"You are on patrol three hundred miles around Iceland, and no outsiders are allowed to approach. If anyone comes, you need to inform us first."
Su Chen ordered dozens of foundation-building monks including General Manager Xie from the City Lord's Mansion and said in a quiet voice.
"Yes, Vice Leader of Su!"
Manager Xie hesitated for a moment and bowed to take the order.
He wanted to persuade him a few more words to try to avoid offending the Jindan families in the north. But seeing Su Chen's indifferent expression that did not take the Jindan families seriously, he still endured it and didn't dare to say it.
Forget it, Vice Leader Su has a high position as a powerful leader, and the Jindan Island Masters dare not do anything to him. Just do whatever you like.
Anyway, they are just minor officials who receive salaries in the city lord's mansion to work, so they do not need to guess the intentions of the upper class.
The foundation-building monks in the city lord's mansion immediately received the order, replaced the disciples of the Jian family, and began to guard and patrol within a radius of 300 miles outside Iceland.
Su Chen and Anu flew into Iceland.
This island is indeed extremely cold.
When he entered the island, Su Chen immediately felt a bone-broken coldness coming, almost easily freezing the low-level monk.
Fortunately, both of them are Jindan monks, and they have strong resistance to cold and cold energy. It is okay to stay on the island for several months.
Su Chen carefully checked the island and found no ferocious monster lurking.
The snow clams raised on the island are all low-level spirit beasts with low grades and can only spit weak ice arrows, which are not threatening.
However, Su Chen still instructed the foundation-building monks in the city lord's mansion to clear all the tens of thousands of snow clams raised on the island to prevent them from threatening the hatching of the Kun eggs.
The minor officials and monks in the city lord's mansion were overjoyed. A second-level top-grade snow clam could sell hundreds of spirit stones. These snow clams alone could make them a fortune.
Su Chen ordered people to clear Han Iceland, and then took out the big Kun egg and put it into an ice lake in Han Iceland.
He, Annu, Taoyao, the three great golden elixir monks, and Zhuang Luyi, the Nascent Soul monk, lived together on the bank of Binghu Lake, and personally took care of this extremely precious Kun egg that could not be lost.
Su Chen used his spiritual sense to detect the movements in this Kun egg every day.
After just a few days, this Kun egg had a faint vitality reaction, and it seemed to be a little active, and the embryo showed signs of awakening and growth.
It seems that the Kun egg is very satisfied with the environment here and is ready to start to condense and form.
This is an unprecedented good sign!
Su Chen was very surprised, "It really has a good effect on this Iceland. If the Kun eggs stay here for three or five years, they should be able to form an embryo and hatch a young Kun."
Anu was naturally happy for Su Chen.
But she had some other concerns and said, "Young Master, when we first came to the north, we summoned the Jian family's Iceland and offended the Jian family. Although the young master was not afraid of the Jian family's revenge. But I was afraid that it would be more difficult to get the support of these northern families in the future and it would be difficult to deal with the invasion of the northern demon cultivators. What should we do?!"
Su Chen couldn't help but smile indifferently and shook his head and said, "Since ancient times, those who do big things are not focused on small matters. If you want to do things, there is no one who will not offend people. If I don't occupy this Iceland, it will be difficult for me to hatch Kun eggs. If I can't hatch Kun eggs, I can't practice the Nascent Soul exercises. So there is no need to think about these things, I'm afraid of tigers in front and wolf in the back.
Besides, I called the island owners to discuss a few days ago, and gave them the opportunity to cooperate with me, but none of these big families came, which has shown their uncooperational attitude and will not give me any support. Since there is no need to worry about their attitude!"
"But what if they go to the General League to complain and ask the leader of Wang Ziyang for complaining?"
Anu said worriedly.
"Then they will be disappointed. The leader of Wang Ziyang set up a northern defense zone and handed over the northern defense zone alone to a deputy leader to deal with it with full power. He did not want to distract himself from the mess in the north anymore and to deal with the huge threat of the demon emperor Jiao Ao.
If not, why would the King of Alliance Leader do this and divide the power to the Deputy Alliance Leader to sit alone in the north. As long as the northern defense zone is not corrupt and not captured by the demon clan, the rest are trivial matters, and the King of Alliance Leader of Alliance Leader does not want to care about it at all. Their complaints are also a mud and stone that has no effect.
Anu, don’t worry about these things. Just live in seclusion here and practice. I’m not in a hurry, they are more anxious than us.”
Su Chen did not handle the government affairs of the Northern Alliance at the Lord of the Northern Region, but instead lived in seclusion on Iceland and focused on hatching his Kun egg.
In a flash.
Half a year passed.
Except for levying an Iceland in the name of the deputy leader, Su Chen did not do anything special about "embezzling the private wealth of aristocratic families and rising public grievances".
But he didn't care about anything.
The heads of the top ten families in the north observed Iceland for a long time, and were confused and puzzled.
They originally planned to wait for the Deputy Alliance Leader Su to "extort heavy taxes and make a lot of money everywhere in the north, so that the public was in a stir." After they collected a large amount of ironclad evidence, they went to the General League to file a lawsuit, and overthrew the Deputy Alliance Leader in one go, and replaced them as the Deputy Alliance Leader.
But after waiting for more than half a year, what they were waiting for was Su Chen who was in seclusion in Iceland, and there was no other movement.
The weight of "recruiting" an Iceland is too light, which is not enough to overthrow Su Chen, the powerful deputy leader. Moreover, Su Chen has sufficient reasons, and he occupied the island in the name of "preparing for war", leaving Jian's family with nowhere to say.
"Hmph! It turns out that he is another person who is a fool and incompetent person! He occupies a high position as the deputy leader in the northern waters, but he hides in Iceland all day long, and ignores any government affairs."
"Occupy the pit and don't shit! Inaction!"
"What do we want him? It's better to change to a respected head of the northern family, who serves as the deputy leader and resists the invasion of demon cultivators, and he will definitely respond with one call."
With the secret promotion of the top ten northern families, the new deputy leader is still constantly scolding the city of the Northern Fairy City.
The waves are surging and the undercurrents are surging.
But after scolding for a long time, the monks also felt that it was quite boring and gradually stopped.
Although they cursed happily, they could not overthrow the deputy leader by verballying, and they could not hurt the real leader at all.
This master was indifferent to the retreat in Iceland and turned a deaf ear to the outside world's scolding.
The minor officials and foundation-building monks in the city lord's mansion patrolled day and night around Iceland, bored and had nothing to do.
There are not many people in the City Lord’s Mansion, less than a hundred people.
After transferring dozens of foundation-building monks to Iceland as patrol guards, the city lord's mansion immediately lost almost half of its manpower, which seemed to be in short supply.
The Northern Region City Lord's Mansion was originally responsible for handling some minor and chores in the north, such as collecting taxes, reporting various local emergency military information to the General Alliance, being responsible for contacting the local Jindan Island Master, and passing the General Alliance's orders to the various island masters, etc.
But after Su Chen, the deputy leader, came, he took nearly half of his hands away as the guard of Iceland. The lord's mansion was almost semi-paralyzed and did nothing.
There was no order from the General League again. It seemed that he was completely delegating power and handed over to the deputy leader Su Chen to deal with it.
The military information of the Northern Defense Zone was no longer sent to the General Alliance without Su Chen's permission.
Under Su Chen's "inaction", the Jindan Island Masters in the entire northern seas had fallen into a mess, and were struggling with death under the harassment of the northern demon cultivators.
"Strange, what have we, Vice Leader of Su, been doing in the past six months?"
"He will not leave after he comes to Iceland. He will stay here for half a year, and there will be no other movement."
"In the past six months, more than ten more spiritual islands have been attacked by demon cultivators, and the Jindan Island owners have suffered a lot of losses. Many island owners have gone to the city lord's mansion and cried and asked the deputy alliance leader to provide support. We little officials are anxious to become ants on the hot pan. As the deputy alliance leader in the north, he is not in a hurry at all?"
"You guys, what are our deputy leader thinking? Is it really like the great northern families said that he will leave after just coming to the north for a few years?"
The foundation-building monks in the city lord's mansion all seemed very anxious and talked a lot.
Previously, Su Chen told them to clear all the snow clams in Iceland. They took the opportunity to sell all the snow clams and collected huge benefits from them. Naturally, they would not say bad things about Su Chen.
There are many rumors in the city of the Northern Immortal City that Vice Leader Su came to the north to "make a fortune."
The slight officials and monks in the city lord's mansion were disdainful of these rumors and refuted them bitterly.
Because tens of thousands of snow clams were cleared from Iceland, the large amount of money sold was rewarded by Su Chen. This move made them, the foundation-building officials in the city lord's mansion, have been poor since they were originally rich overnight, and have earned more than they worked hard for decades.
Vice Leader Su only went into seclusion in Iceland to practice, and had no spirit stones at all, so he could not make a fortune.
Moreover, they often contacted Su Chen and knew that the deputy leader was actually easy to get along with, and they were kind to them, the minor officials of the city lord's mansion, and had never done anything evil.
They were very grateful to Vice Leader Su, and they wanted to take all the infamy and clear the blame for Vice Leader Su.
But Vice Leader Su ignored the blame that flew out of thin air.
They were all anxious for Su Chen and did not want to see Vice Leader Su being dismissed for inaction.
"You've misunderstood. Our Vice-President Su is not a good character to mess with. I have worked in the City Lord's Mansion for decades and have never seen anyone more cruel than him. He is beautiful in the blame, and his method of driving away the wolf and swallowing tigers is even more clever! It's in vain for those aristocratic families to defeat him."
Manager Xie shook his head, but his expression showed a look of awe.
"Master Xie, why did you say that?"
The monks of the foundation-building were all surprised.
Manager Xie couldn't help but recall that he had seen many things in the past six months with his own eyes recently.
There are rumors in the market that Vice Leader Su made money in the north, which was a false thing, and there was no ironclad evidence at all. This reason naturally could not hinder the Deputy Leader.
Only the crime of "inaction" may affect Su Chen's status.
But Vice Leader Su had long since easily turned the blame on others.
In the past six months, the situation in the north has continued to deteriorate.
In just half a year, dozens of spiritual islands in the northern waters were attacked by demon cultivators. The Jindan Island Masters suffered heavy losses, so they came to the City Lord's Mansion to ask for support, and even scolded the deputy leader for inaction.
General Manager Xie sent these emergency military information to Iceland to let Su Chen see.
Su Chen took a look at the information, then put it aside, remained indifferent and had no expression.
Manager Xie was also puzzled at first, and this was inaction!
Later, some Jindan Island owners were very angry and came to Iceland in person to ask Su Chen for an explanation.
Su Chen just said lightly, "In the past, this lieutenant alliance asked you to come and discuss strategies to deal with the attack of demon cultivators. You are not here. Why blame me for the attack today? In the future, I will summon the island owners to discuss countermeasures. Whoever comes will come, I will help anyone. If you don't come, don't complain to me again.
If you are not convinced, just write to the General Alliance to file a complaint. The General Alliance will send your complaint back to me for review. I will see how you filed a complaint."
The Jindan Island owners immediately ate Coptis chinensis, and they couldn't say anything about their suffering. They knocked their teeth and even swallowed blood into their stomachs.
