Qinghui himself has actually never seen ghosts and gods.
The legendary intelligent body second only to Tianjixun, although it is not an artifact, is at least a legendary existence.
His thoughts changed rapidly, and with his wisdom, he immediately understood a lot.
It was probably after Yang Qi sent back the images of the screening situation in the Imperial City Square that these images were seen by the core layers of the Four Gates.
In Yang Qi's memory, there was an image of "that person", and the four major clan leaders happened to accompany that person into the imperial palace. When they saw the image, they could naturally tell at a glance that Wei Ling was related to "that person" .
Li Clan is still quick and dares to gamble.
It's just that although this kid is terrifyingly shrewd, he seems so confused about himself because he doesn't have the necessary information to support him.
He didn't even think about his abnormally heavy body, which probably contained a large amount of T205 metal.
No matter what, no matter what, I still can't do bad things to others.
No one knows who "that person" is or who Wei Ling is, so it would be a big mistake for me to reveal it.
Naturally, Wei Ling didn't know Qingfu's various speculations and concerns, but he saw Qingfu's expression of surprise, and then smiled:
"Okay! Okay! I feel that the guard is just like an ordinary person, more natural than Zheng Xiao. I thought it was individual differences and different levels of control over the intelligent body. I didn't expect it to be like this. So, I don't have to worry about it in the future. Your trip is over, haha.”
Wei Ling was deeply moved by Qing Hui's unabashed care and happiness:
"Thank you for your kindness, sir. I even forgot to report it to you.
Sir, do you think that if I discuss my merits after I go back, is it possible for me to get a little bit of T205 metal? "
After Welling asked this question, he felt a little nervous and expectant.
Qinghui couldn't help but laugh:
"There is no need to report such private and confidential information to the barrier, and you don't actually have to tell me. What do you want that metal for?"
In fact, what he wants to say is that with your height and body shape, which is over 180 kilograms, no one knows how much T205 metal is in your body.
"I think if I can get some, I can give it to Nanxing, Phytolacca, and Jinu, which can just strengthen their physiques. A warlock without a good physique will inevitably affect his achievements."
Welling's reply was sincere.
"..."
Qinghui was speechless. Looking at Wei Ling who was a little embarrassed, she felt a little bit moved in her heart:
"Maybe there will be... who knows, it depends on the empire's arrangements."
Qinghui's mood became very good and she looked out the window.
Blue sky and white clouds.
…
The next days were very easy.
On the third day, the Xixuan Federation sent Alexander over for a simple consultation.
In the case of basically total surrender, the Federation did not discuss the details of the location or what requirements it made. They just held the talks in the Empire's "Kua'e Clan".
Alexander's posture became very low-key.
For the Three Kingdoms such as Pat State, demilitarization is inevitable, and monitoring by the empire's agencies is also inevitable. The Federation has no objection to this item, and it is estimated that they also understand where the empire's bottom line is.
After "hard" bargaining, the contents of the treaty were finally determined.
In addition to the unchanged content, items changed after discussion include the following:
For those suspected of war crimes, the change was limited to the highest levels of the three armies, because most of the original mid-level commanders had died in the war.
Moreover, the top management is almost dead, so basically this rule cannot be implemented.
The number of students exchanged between the two sides has been reduced to 150, and the option of learning each other's spells and magic has been added.
The reason for the total rejection of infrastructure construction is that the finances of the three states cannot support any large-scale construction.
We still deny the large-scale cultural exchanges that occur every five years. The reason is that the cultures and concepts of the two sides are too different, and we are worried about causing unnecessary conflicts.
The empire is naturally happy to see this happen. In fact, the so-called cultural exchanges are just to provide some convenience for spies to come in and out. The empire is not the only one.
On July 11, 111 AD, the two parties signed the Treaty of Pat between the Holy Federation and the Bactrian Empire.
The war was declared over.
Although the treaty was signed, the Western Expeditionary Army did not withdraw.
After all, strong military deterrence is the guarantee to ensure that the treaty is implemented.
It takes time to submit war criminals, raise gold, and deliver T205 metal. The Western Expeditionary Army and the negotiation team are stationed near Patbang, waiting for the completion of these two items.
…
It was rare for the Western Expeditionary Army to experience such leisure.
The sergeants no longer all were fully armed and began their shifts.
During the rest period, groups of sergeants would hang out in various places in Pat State, and the various supplies, medicines, food, etc. exchanged for their merits or imperial money became popular among the residents of Pat State. Favorite things.
Within ten days, the citizens of Patbang looked at the Western Expeditionary Army differently.
There was very little hostility or indifference, but more of a sense of familiarity and understanding. I felt that the imperial sergeants were not as ferocious as the official propaganda in the past.
It seems that the unbelievers may not be so terrible.
Groups of children followed the wandering sergeant, hoping to get some candies and cookies.
Wei Ling, Shou Gong, Li Kongqing, and Li Lingyou were helpless with the timid children behind them. After giving them some small things, another group of children were replaced.
Looking at those clear and expectant eyes, Wei Ling smiled helplessly:
"What has the Federation been doing all these years? The people in power are really bastards!"
"Yes, if I don't come here to have a look, I really don't realize the happiness I feel in the Imperial Capital, other counties in the Empire, and Iasi County. The people here are too difficult."
Li Lingyou also felt this.
"In the future, when this state is demilitarized, it may be a blessing in disguise and people's livelihood will improve."
Li Kongqing analyzes the future situation:
"With the presence of the empire's military surveillance departments in all three states, the Federation will no longer dare to cause trouble here in a short period of time.
In fact, it is equivalent to the empire successfully extending its tentacles here. In the future, this place will become the frontier for the empire to obtain various federal intelligence.
I estimate that subsequent relay systems will be gradually installed and effectively connected with the Jianmu Barrier in Iasi. After all, satellites are sometimes too unreliable. "
Welling agrees:
"Yes, this is all as it should be. The Federation is bleeding heavily this time!"
Regarding T205 metal, Welling is still obsessed with it:
"Brother Kong Qing, do you think the empire will reward soldiers with part of the T205 metal?"
Li Kongqing and Li Lingyou looked at each other and smiled:
"Inevitable, the empire already has reserves, and this request is actually bleeding federal arms. The empire will definitely collect and reserve part of it, but it will use most of it to reward sergeants. Only strong sergeants can guarantee a move from victory to greater victory. !”
"That makes sense. I understand what Brother Kong Qing means. Even if His Majesty doesn't have this idea, the powerful family will remind Your Majesty not to forget to put people first, right?"
Wei Ling changed his mind and teased the two brothers.
"Haha, smart!"
The Li brothers laughed.
"By the way, how is T205 metal refined?"
Welling was intrigued.
In his opinion, various metals were obtained from Yasi deep into the mantle layer. He never felt that the empire lacked any metals. He did not expect that such magical metals existed and were so expensive.
Li Kongqing’s information reserve is significantly higher than Li Lingyou:
"This kind of metal is very difficult to obtain. Only those metal objects before the Great Annihilation exist in certain natural metal blocks in nature, or they form aggregates in low-lying places in specific geographical environments."
"So magical?"
Welling was very confused. Aren't metals extracted from minerals?
"Yeah, it's very strange. Legend has it that after the Great Annihilation, I don't know the specific time, an asteroid with a diameter of more than a thousand meters collided outside the home star."
Li Lingyou was very surprised. This touched upon his blind spot in knowledge:
"Well, if such a big asteroid collided, why do we still exist?"
Li Kongqing laughed:
"Haha, under normal circumstances, if an asteroid of this size hits the mother planet, most of us will be finished.
But something strange happened. When the asteroid reached the atmosphere of the mother star, it automatically decomposed, and a metal rain fell on the main continent area of the entire mother star, that is, most of the empire and the federation. rain. "
Welling analyzed surprisingly:
"How amazing! Is it because people at that time did not discover the asteroid debris afterwards, but unexpectedly discovered new metals while smelting the remaining metals from the old era?"
Li Kongqing gave Wei Ling a thumbs up:
"That's right. Therefore, on the surface, you can basically not see any scrap metal objects from before the Great Annihilation. They have all been collected by the Empire and the Federation."
Li Lingyou did not forget to find faults and thought of the most common situation:
"What about ordinary soil? There are also metals in the soil."
"Haha, another magical thing is that T205 metal will automatically gather and condense into a ball, so it is difficult to see it on the ground. If someone picks it up, it will not be found in the soil."
Welling immediately drew inferences:
"It's indeed magical. I understand that if there is a large beast, its bones will be infiltrated with this metal. Even if it is eaten by other beasts, it will fall silent in the larger beast, and the beast will become more and more Strong!"
Li Kongqing was startled and realized that Wei Ling's thoughts were different from his own:
"Huh? I didn't think about it from this perspective. What you said makes sense."
Wei Ling felt a sudden realization:
"Brother Kong Qing's message just now finally relieved one of my confusions.
I used to always wonder what those wilderness hunters were doing risking their lives.
It turns out that on the one hand, they are collecting scrap metal on the surface, and on the other hand, they may be looking for large animal bones, which can be handed over to the federation to extract T205 metal. Others may be searching for whether there is such metal in certain areas. Aggregate.
As for obtaining some empire intelligence, it is probably incidental. "
Li Kongqing and Li Lingyou looked at Wei Ling in surprise.
Yes, they have never thought about why those wilderness hunters want to wander in the dangerous wilderness, because the empire does not have such people and mechanisms.
Li Val has an industry called Xihai Metal Trading.
Members have been in the extreme northern wilderness and ice fields all year round, talking about pangolins and gold nuggets. Li Kongqing and Li Lingyou always thought they were gold diggers and were indifferent to this.
Now it seems that they were searching for T205 metal.
Welling's eyes are shining:
"We must learn how to extract T205 metal from animal bones, haha!"
The Li brothers looked at Wei Ling, a money fan, and couldn't laugh or cry.
While casually strolling among a few people chatting, Welling suddenly received a message.
Qinghui sent a voice message with a very urgent tone:
"Welling, return to the team quickly, there is something important."
Wei Ling's face hardened, he quickly threw the bag to the Li brothers, and then hurried back with Shou Gong.
As soon as they arrived under Xiao Jingmo and Qingfu's huge "Kua'e", they saw a medium-sized Blue Bird docked quickly on the ground, and Qingfu's anxious face appeared in the porthole:
"Quick, quick, here, come up and talk about it!"
Welling was very surprised.
Qinghui always gave him the feeling of indifference and indifference that would not change even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, but now he was so anxious.
He quickly entered the "Blue Bird" with the gecko.
The vehicle flew high into the sky at a huge elevation angle, heading due east.
Wei Ling immediately discovered that General Wang's deputy and Army Sima Yang Jingjie were also on the vehicle, looking equally worried.
Wei Ling bowed briefly to Qinghui and Yang Jingji:
"Sir, what is so urgent?"
"There's something going on in Yaxi. I've already reported it to Mr. Xiao. Let's go back and deal with it first. We're worried that we won't have enough time..."
"What exactly happened?"
"Do you still remember the trophies of your southbound advance team, the hair samples of the four magicians, which you gave to the advance team.
A few days ago, I used the analysis equipment on the Kua'e family and concluded that they all have the genetic lineage of my Daxia people, and they are all around 20 years old! "
"Oh, that's it. It's really suspicious. Why would our compatriots go to Xixuan to learn magic and attack the empire?"
Wei Ling just breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly thought that there was something about Yaxi that Master Qinghui said, but it was definitely not this. Could there be a connection between them?
Wei Ling's heart tightened and he stared at Qinghui intently.
Qinghui gave the information with difficulty:
"I just received satellite information. On July 16, 111 AD, the soldiers and civilians of Iasi County held a memorial ceremony for the soldiers who died in the Battle of Iasi in the northwest square outside the city.
Later, Wantong discovered and reported that Nanxing, Phytolacca and Jinu had not returned..."
Wei Ling felt a sudden pain in his heart, and his eyes turned red.
