"Commander in Chief, you're back …" Li Shouyi got out of the car and saw Situ He waiting for him at the door.
"What's up?" he asked.
"Hmm..." Situ He handed a diplomatic message to Li Shouyi. "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United Kingdom of Britannia has just submitted a diplomatic request..."
"Duke Rhine, Duchess Intecula, request to study in our country …"
"Duke Rhein?" Li Shouyi frowned. "A descendant of Van Helsing?!"
"Yes!" Situ He asked, "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has asked for instructions. How should we reply?"
Li Shouyi didn't think for too long before replying, "I agree …"
"Three hundred years of the Federal Empire!"
"Five thousand years of the Zhuxia civilization!"
"Since ancient times, it has always been open and tolerant …"
"No matter who it is, as long as they abide by our laws and regulations, and do not violate our public order and good morals, then we welcome them!"
"Didn't Emperor Taizu say so?"
"When friends come, there will be fine wine. When wolves come, there will be hunting rifles!"
"Whether you want to drink wine or eat bullets, that's someone else's decision!"
"We only do some service work!"
"But..." Situ He hesitated. "That is Duke Rhine..."
Duke Rhine was the most famous noble family in the Land of Qin.
He was a close friend of the royal family of the United Kingdom of Britannia.
This is public information only.
Privately, everyone knew that Duke Rhein was the king of the transcendent being of the United Kingdom of Britannia.
Because every generation of Duke Rhine was the contract master of Blood River Overlord Alucard!
"It doesn't matter!" Li Shouyi smiled and said, "If Alucard dares to play any tricks in our territory …"
"I will crush him to death!"
When he said this, the commander-in-chief of the Blackguard of the Federal Empire was full of confidence!
Because he was no longer the person he was yesterday.
When Situ He heard this, he lowered his head and said, "Then this subordinate will reply to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs right away.
"Go!"
Li Shouyi walked through the door and pressed the elevator button.
… …
The man in formal attire carried a briefcase and walked into Rhein Castle. He arrived before the Duchess, who was already waiting for him.
"Greetings to you, respected Duchess!" He bowed. "The Kingdom's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has just received a reply from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Empire..."
"Your application has been approved …"
"I don't know, which school do you want to go to?"
The Duchess, who was standing by the window in her white dress, turned around.
"Jiang City Primary School then!" she said softly. Then, two servants came over, held her hand, and walked into the distance.
The current Duchess of Rhine is twelve years and five months old this year.
He was indeed at the primary school age!
… …
Ling Ping'an sat at the counter and sighed softly.
"I'm so tired …" He lay there like a salted fish, not wanting to move at all.
In front of him, the kitten, who had just taken a bath, was sleeping soundly on a towel.
Upstairs, Little Aunt and Little Lucky Hand were also sleeping soundly.
"I'll take a nap too," he said.
Lying on the counter, he fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was almost dark.
He stretched, stood up, and turned on the lights in the shop.
The kitten, Bastet, was still sleeping soundly. It seemed that it was because she drank too much wine.
"Little greedy cat!" Ling Ping'an shook his head and walked upstairs.
When he got upstairs, he looked around the room.
He sighed and put away all the bowls and chopsticks on the table.
He poured the shrimp shell and the rest of the broth into a garbage bag.
Then, he carried the garbage bag downstairs, walked out of the shop, and threw it into the garbage can at the door.
In the distance, a sanitation truck slowly drove over and collected the garbage of the neighbors nearby.
Ling Ping'an looked at it and couldn't help but praise, "Recently, the sanitation department of Jiangcheng City has been really diligent!"
When he returned to the shop, he looked at the time. It was already seven o 'clock in the evening.
"Let's watch the news and play a few more games!" He knew that his aunt would definitely sleep until tomorrow morning.
This was both because she had drunk too much and because she was jet-lagged.
He casually turned on the television, and the scene of a town being flooded appeared on the television.
"Consecutive days of heavy rain and typhoons have caused one-third of the villages and towns in the Samboja Kingdom to be flooded..."
"Meteorological satellite images show that heavy rain will still hit the entire Samboja Kingdom tonight and tomorrow during the day..."
"His Excellency Wang An, the Minister of Nanyang Affairs of the Federal Empire, said at the cabinet press conference held this afternoon that he has instructed the embassies in the Nanyang countries to immediately take action to open up life channels for the affected countries!"
"He also said that the Federal Empire's Natural Disaster Relief Force is on standby and can immediately be deployed to assist the countries in disaster relief!"
"The Federal Empire will always be a good partner, good neighbor, and good friend of the Nanyang countries!"
"We will never sit back and do nothing!"
Ling Ping'an listened and sighed, "If this continues, I'm afraid the prices of Nanyang fruits will go crazy this year!"
Lychees, longans, bananas, pineapples...
The cheap and delicious Nanyang fruits had always been an indispensable food on the dining tables of the people of the Federation.
With the double effects of the flood and typhoon, there was probably no chance to eat cheap fruits this year.
Fortunately, the Nanzhou Kingdom and the Beizhou Kingdom were also fruit producers.
They could more or less make up for the shortage of Nanyang imports.
However, because of the long distance, the price was much higher than Nanyang fruits.
Generally speaking, it was normal for fruits to be 20 to 30 percent more expensive.
This was a heavy blow to the low-income group!
He was afraid that many families would have to reduce the purchase of fruits this year.
Thinking of this, Ling Ping'an picked up his phone and scanned the donation link that appeared on the television screen.
Then, he donated 100 yuan to express his sincerity.
Soon, his phone received a thank-you message: The Federal Natural Disaster Relief Foundation, on behalf of the people of the Nanyang countries, thank you for your generosity!
You can use the QR code to log into the official software of the Federal Natural Disaster Relief Foundation to track and monitor the use of your donations.
Looking at this message, Ling Ping'an felt that he had sublimated.
… …
Li Shouyi opened his eyes and ended his cultivation.
He stood up and walked to the mirror.
Then, he couldn't help but reach out and touch his hair.
It was black!
He looked at his hands again. His skin, which had once been thin and old, was turning rosy bit by bit.
His age spots were gradually fading away.
He was young again!
He gently circulated his mana and rubbed a Tai Chi in his hand.
The small Tai Chi rotated, and the two yin and yang fish seemed to come to life.
He smiled, "It's not in vain that I gave up my face to come here!"
He knew very well that this was only the beginning.
He had already felt it when he was cultivating.
His body began to become younger and younger.
The things that had shackled him were being dispelled bit by bit.
In half a month at the latest, or five days at the shortest, he would be able to digest the gains from today's feast.
At that time, he would have a chance to improve further!
"Commander-in-chief..." at this moment, Situ He's voice came from outside the door, "The latest news from Nanyang..."
"Come in and talk!" Li Shouyi ordered softly.
After saying this, the smile on his face became even wider.
That was because his voice had also become younger.
Creak, the door was pushed open.
Situ He walked in and saw Li Shouyi, who had a head full of black hair and a smug expression on his face.
"Commander-in-chief!" Situ He's eyes widened, and then he was ecstatic, "Congratulations, Commander-in-chief! Congratulations, Commander-in-chief! "
There was no need to look at anything else. Just by looking at the current situation of the Federal Empire's Zijin Liang, Situ He understood that the strongest human in the world had returned to his peak!
"Let's not talk about these things first..." Li Shouyi waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about Nanyang first!"
"How's the situation in Nanyang?"
Situ He said, "The basic situation is similar to what the news said..."
"Floods, typhoons... continue..."
"Climatologists and environmentalists say that this is because the cold current of the Southern Yin and Shang Dynasties in Nanzhou is warmed by the warm current near the equator, resulting in a reverse tide..."
"In the past, similar reverse tides often happened..."
"It affects the entire eastern hemisphere, especially the Nanyang region..."
This was the knowledge that was in the textbooks!
"Then why is it so serious this year?" Li Shouyi asked, "Is there any human intervention or similar signs?"
The Nanyang countries were archipelagic countries that surrounded the Federal Empire.
Most of the countries had small populations and land areas.
The larger ones were Luzon, Samboja, and Lanfang Gonghe.
And most of these countries had obtained their independence because of the Federal Empire.
Their safety was also basically guaranteed by a series of treaties.
In a sense, it was indeed as the news said: they and the Federal Empire were good neighbors, good partners, and good friends.
Therefore, for the past three hundred years, the Nanyang countries, Fusang, and Xinluo had formed an economic circle that relied on the Federal Empire's local economy.
The Federal Empire exported industrial products and imported agricultural products from various countries.
Each took what they needed and got what they needed.
Therefore, many foreign enemies would attack the Nanyang countries or Fusang when they could not target the Federal Empire's local territory.
"There is no relevant evidence for the time being..." Situ He said, "There are no relevant signs..."
"But this is the problem..."
"There have always been many remnants in the Nanyang countries!" Situ He said coldly, "But they are not doing anything now..."
"This is very unusual!"
The Nanyang countries had been colonized and enslaved in history.
After independence, they had been manipulated and influenced by foreign forces for a long time.
Especially the local Tame Head Masters who colluded with the people of the Yan Sheng sect who had been expelled by the Federal Empire. For a long time, they had posed a major threat to the safety and production of the people of the Nanyang countries!
For this reason, the Blackguard had been invited by the Nanyang countries many times to enter the territories of the countries to wipe out those Tame Head Masters, Gu Masters, and the people of the Yan Sheng sect who threatened the safety of the countries.
Twenty years ago, Li Shouyi had killed an evil god who had been awakened by the Tame Head Masters through blood sacrifice in Samboja of Nanyang, thus establishing his invincible position.
Because of this, he had completely eliminated these evil cultivators who threatened the countries on the surface.
But the remnants always existed.
Every time there was a problem in the countries, they would always come out to cause trouble.
A few years ago, they even took advantage of the chaos caused by the demons in Fusang to set off a bloody riot in Samboja, trying to awaken a sealed evil Buddha.
Therefore, Situ He\'s words were indeed worth pondering.
Li Shouyi closed his eyes and thought for a while.
"How about this..." he said to Situ He, "Send a note to the Special Affairs Bureau of each country in my name..."
"Just say that I will personally send an observation team into the territories of each country to look for clues. Please cooperate with the Special Affairs Bureau of each country!"
"Yes!" Situ He saluted. "Who do you plan to send to lead the team?"
Li Shouyi smiled. "I plan to send Captain Li An'an as a special observer to lead a team of Blackguards into the Nanyang countries!"
"She is the most suitable candidate!"
Indeed!
There was no one more suitable than this captain.
Although she was only a captain...
But behind her stood an unimaginable ruler!
Therefore, her trip must succeed!
It had to succeed!
"But..." Situ He was slightly stunned. "Will the target have any objections?"
"No!" Li Shouyi smiled. "Maybe, that person wants us to do this!"
He had personally said 'high standards and strict requirements'. He had also said 'we should work more and train more'!
Li Shouyi felt that he would be very happy!
… …
Wait a minute, there was more, today was the day!
