In line with the basic principle of "prioritize good things for your own use, and nationalize those that are no longer needed", Meng Qingxiao unceremoniously agreed, and specially commandeered a drone to deliver the bead to him. Sent back to the country.
Lu Caishi reciprocated the favor and gave him a gift, a 10 centimeter-tall wood puppet with two figures sticking out their butts and kissing mouth to mouth. She specially spent 300,000 to contract a plane to help. She delivered the goods, point-to-point, directly to Meng Qingxiao's hands.
These two little figures were carved lifelike and looked exactly like Meng Qingxiao and Lu Caishi.
Meng Qingxiao didn't understand its value, but there were people around him who did. One soldier recognized it as Venus rosewood and pointed out that it was gold in the wood. The price per cubic meter was as high as 30,000 yuan, and there was no market for it. It’s hard to buy the real thing.
However, Meng Qingxiao didn't know until he called again that the doll in his hand was more valuable than the soldier said.
This is a mutated Venus rosewood tree that was killed by someone, acquired by a wood carver, and carved from the best part of it.
Moreover, it is claimed to be the only mutated Venus rosewood in the world, and its price has been sky-high.
In addition, it was custom-made, so the price was even more expensive. Just a 10-centimeter piece of wood cost Lu Caishi 1.28 million Chinese yuan. Including travel expenses, it was already as high as 1.58 million yuan when it was delivered to Meng Qingxiao.
If the inner elixir that Meng Qingxiao gave to Lu Caishi was auctioned, its value would definitely exceed 100 million. If you meet a rich owner, it is possible to spend billions, but he actually spent no money. Yes, the drone responsible for delivering the goods was also sent to the country by him under the guise of public service, so after calculation, it still seemed that Lu Caishi was very prodigal. Meng Qingxiao felt really sad for a while after getting the price.
However, Lu Caishi also has a reason, because red sandalwood itself also has the effect of beautifying the skin. According to ancient medical books, it can also eliminate joint swelling and pain and relieve gastrointestinal diseases. And these are just the curative effects of ordinary red sandalwood. It should still be able to function after mutation. It has more magical functions, but the wearer needs to discover this by himself.
Lu Caishi doesn't have to go out to work, and can't travel around like Meng Qingxiao. Naturally, she has no chance to find the treasure in person, so she can only spend money to buy it. No matter how much it is worth, Meng Qingxiao will still feel warm in her heart despite being distressed. ,very touched.
Days passed day by day, and on June 18th, the First Division and the Third Division sent good news on the same day. They had opened up the area designated by Meng Qingxiao, and now the mutant beasts in Etru were almost extinct. , only one day later, on June 20, the Second Division also announced that they had completed the sweep of all areas they were responsible for and eliminated all mutant organisms that might be harmful to humans.
So Meng Qingxiao ordered all three armies to gather in Tianluo and prepare to return to the court.
Meng Qingxiao was excited. At this rate, he would definitely have time to witness the birth of his first child.
A week later, the first and third divisions, which had been marching rapidly, finally arrived. Everyone gathered together and were extremely happy.
Bao Tong and Li Xiaoguo have the best relationship. When Bao Tong heard that Li Xiaoguo and the others were targeting all mutant creatures, Bao Tong couldn't help but be stunned. After a while, he exclaimed: "Damn, we also said that we would leave some mutated beasts that are not very harmful to Yit." To relieve the boredom of the people of Lu, you have not spared all the mutated creatures. No wonder you are two days behind us. Calculating this, your division is actually faster than both of our divisions."
Li Xiaoguo laughed and said: "That's all the credit of the two division commanders. Because Mr. Yu and Deputy Commander Fei refused to accept the other, they were more ruthless than the other. They plowed the entire area like wild geese plucking their hair. Not a single mutant mouse was spared.”
Their division commanders and division chiefs of staff had also heard about Meng Qingxiao's achievements, so they went to visit them together. When they saw the mutated black locust that destroyed 1/4 of Tianluo City, they all They were amazed. They had indeed killed a lot of mutant beasts, but in terms of destructive power, this tree was really the most awesome. They all admired Meng Qingxiao for killing such a terrifying mutant plant with only one company of troops. Incessantly.
Bao Tong suggested that this tree be transported back to China as Meng Qingxiao's trophy. He felt that this thing must have its research value, and everyone else agreed.
"What if it has no value?" Meng Qingxiao asked, "It's not worth spending so much energy on a tree, and the locust tree is not valuable either."
In the end, they did not transport it to the country, but the country sent a team of experts to collect samples. The research value was indeed there, but there was no need to transport the whole plant back.
While Meng Qingxiao had nothing to do all day long, the new Etruscan president Audrey was so busy that she could not see anyone all day long. She had gathered most of the residents in Etruscan territory and was preparing to rebuild their homes.
The existence of the former President Etru is actually a hidden danger. Once he confirms that peace has been restored in Etru, he is likely to come back and compete with Audrey for the world.
Meng Qingxiao specially reminded Audrey: "Some people always bully the weak and fear the strong. They don't dare to deal with Jiaolong, but they don't have the slightest psychological pressure to deal with you. You should be prepared early."
"Let him come, I'm afraid he won't come." Audrey said bitterly. Ever since she learned that Lawrence had fled Etrus with an army regardless of the lives of the people, she had spent a huge price. , almost sold himself to the Strong Han State in exchange for an agreement: "Agreement on the Conclusion of a Military Alliance between the Strong Han State and the Etruscan Republic."
According to the agreement, the strong Han country recognized the new government formed by Audrey as the legitimate Etruscan government. When the new Etruscan government faced a military crisis, the strong Han country needed to send troops to help.
Of course, at least on the surface, the content of the agreement was mutual. When the Qiang Han State faced a military crisis, Etru also needed to send troops to help. However, with the strength of the Qiang Han State, he did not need a struggling regime at all. Offer him any help, and Etru can offer him little.
This agreement can be signed, and the price Audrey paid in secret was to sell all the resources in the entire Etruscan territory to the powerful Han State for development for 30 years, and within 30 years, the powerful Han Congress would protect Etrus from any threats. It will also provide food and basic living supplies to the Etruscan people, excluding weapons, which require additional money to purchase.
This is naturally an unfair and even humiliating agreement. From now on, Etru is equivalent to a vassal state of the powerful Han country, and has no power to resist at all. However, for Audrey, it is nothing more than helping Audrey. What she needs most now is to survive, and it is not too late to survive before considering other things, and she is confident that she can restore Etru to life within 30 years.
Because of this agreement, when Meng Qingxiao sent a request to return to the country, he was directly rejected by the Military Commission. The Military Commission asked him to immediately go to the northwest border of Etrus to garrison to resist any enemies that might invade from southern Europe and protect the country. Etru's territory was protected from any infringement until new armies came to replace him.
Etrus is a country in southern Europe. It occupies the entire Asian Gulf Peninsula and many islands near the peninsula. It borders four countries in the northwest, but there is only one real threat to it: the Republic of Reims. Before the global disaster broke out, the three countries were small, neutral countries with little military power.
If not, Lawrence wouldn't have gone abroad so easily. He brought so many people with him. As long as he didn't provoke powerful mutant beasts, he would have been able to choose any of the three countries to become king and hegemony with ease.
Speaking of Meng Qingxiao, after receiving this new task, he was so angry that he wanted to jump up and curse at his mother. All his previous dreams about his wife and children being on the hot bed were shattered.
But he had no choice but to accept the order and announce his march to the northwest.
Audrey personally saw him off and expressed her apology. At the same time, she implicitly stated that if Meng Qingxiao needed it, she would be willing to be his lover and even give birth to a child for him.
Meng Qingxiao was shocked. He still had a puppet worth a million dollars in his pocket. That was the future he needed to work hard to manage. Having an extramarital lover was not suitable for him.
Audrey must be extremely eager to have children. Meng Qingxiao felt that even if she did not have children with him, she would definitely have children with others, because what Etrus lacked most now was population, and she, as Etrus Naturally, the new president cannot be content with others.
Audrey was indeed in urgent need of people to rebuild her homeland. She even thought about closing the mirror barrier again and directly summoning a large number of laborers from another world.
Once some thoughts are formed, they will continue to grow and ferment in the brain until they are finally difficult to control and may even cause psychological distortion, and they will try to achieve them at all costs.
Audrey is not the only one who possesses this greed. The entire Western society, even in peaceful times, has a smaller population than the last. The combined population of the entire Europa is not even as large as that of the powerful Han Dynasty. has a large population.
At present, the technology that can open and close all parallel worlds at will is still in the hands of the powerful Han country, and it is a situation where one company is the only one. However, this does not mean that other countries are weak. In fact, the country that has touched the wall of the parallel world is still There are quite a few. As for the mirror enchantment, because of the precedent set by Dr. Meng Wen, scientists from many countries have already made secret efforts.
After the mirror barrier was opened, Qiang Han State produced 100,000 mirrors used as one-way channels and gave them to all countries in the world for free. These mirrors represent the current highest technology of parallel worlds on earth.
Although the Qiang Han Kingdom did not disclose its technology, the presence of these mirrors has helped many countries. They secretly studied and finally cracked the secret of the mirror enchantment and re-closed the mirror enchantment by their own abilities. The teleportation function of the mirror was turned on again.
Of course, this time the barrier is closed, it is not global in nature, but only for some individual mirrors.
Using these mirrors, individual countries began to replenish their own populations and laid the foundation for the coming disaster.
Meng Qingxiao didn't know these things. He was still heading northwest in dejection.
