Chapter 138: New Mission
“Commander-in-chief, you’re back…” Li Shouyi got out of the car and saw Situ He was waiting for him at the door.
“What’s the matter?” He asked.
“Well…” Situ He sent a diplomatic telegram to Li Shouyi. “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United Kingdom of Britannia has just submitted a diplomatic request…”
“Duke Rhein, Duchess of Integral, requests to study abroad in our country…”
“Duke Rhein?” Li Shouyi frowned. “The descendant of Van Helsing?!”
“Yes!” Situ He asked, “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs requests permission. What should we reply?”
Li Shouyi did not think too long before he replied, “My opinion is that we agree…”
“The three hundred years of the Federal Empire!”
“It has always been open and compatible since ancient times…”
“No matter who it is, as long as they abide by our laws and regulations, and do not violate our public order and good customs, then we welcome them all!”
“If friends come, there will be fine wine, and if jackals come, there will be shotguns!”
“If you want to drink fine wine, or if you want to get shot, it’s their decision!”
“We only do a little work of service!”
“But…” Situ He hesitated. “That’s Duke Rhein…”
Duke Rhein was the most famous noble family in the Land of Qin.
They were a close friend of the royal family of the United Kingdom of Britannia.
That was only the information opened to the public.
In private, everyone knew that Duke Rhein was the king of the extraordinary beings of the United Kingdom of Britannia.
Because, every generation of Duke Rhein was the contract owner of the Blood River Overlord, Alucard!
“It doesn’t matter!” Li Shouyi smiled and said, “If Alucard dares to do anything in the metropolitan 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 same as yesterday.
Situ He heard this and lowered his head. “Then I will reply to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs about the Blackguard’s review!”
“Yes!”
Li Shouyi walked into the gate and pressed the elevator button.
… ..
The man in formal attire walked into Rhein Castle with a briefcase in his hand and arrived in front of the Duchess, who was waiting for him.
“My respects to you, Duchess!” He bowed and said, “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the kingdom has just received a reply from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Empire…”
“Your application for study abroad has been approved…”
“May I know which school you want to go to?”
The Duchess, who was standing by the window and wearing a long white dress, turned around.
“Let’s go to Jiangcheng City Elementary School!” she said softly. Then, two servants walked over, holding her hand, and walked into the distance.
The current Duke Rhein was twelve years and five months old this year.
She was indeed the age of studying in an elementary school!
… … … ..
Ling Pingan sat at the counter and sighed softly.
“I’m so tired…” he lay on his stomach lazily and did not want to move at all.
In front of him, the little kitten that had just taken a bath was sleeping soundly on the towel.
The lucky one and his aunt were also sleeping soundly upstairs.
“I’ll sleep for a while…” he said.
Then, he lay on the counter and fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was almost dark.
He stretched his body, stood up, and turned on the lights in the shop.
The kitten, Bastet, was still sleeping soundly. It seemed that she had drunk too much wine.
“Little greedy kitten!” Ling Pingan shook his head and walked upstairs.
When he reached upstairs, he looked at the room.
He sighed and put away all the bowls and chopsticks on the table.
He poured the shrimp shell and the remaining meat gravy into a garbage bag.
Then, he carried the garbage bag downstairs, walked out of the shop, and threw it into the garbage bin at the door.
In the distance, a sanitation vehicle slowly drove over and collected the garbage of the neighborhood.
Ling Pingan couldn’t help but praise, “They have been diligent recently!”
After returning to the shop, he looked at the time and found that it was already seven o’clock in the evening.
“Let’s watch the news and play a few rounds of the game!” He knew that his aunt would definitely sleep until the next morning.
That was not only because she had drunk too much alcohol but also because she was jet-lagged.
He turned on the television casually, and a scene of a town being flooded appeared on the television.
“The torrential rains and typhoons over the past few days have caused one-third of the villages and towns in the Samboja Kingdom to be flooded…”
“Meteorological satellite images show that the torrential rains will continue to hit the entire Samboja Kingdom tonight and tomorrow during the day…”
“The Minister for Nanyang Affairs of the Federal Empire, His Excellency Wang An, said at the cabinet press conference held this afternoon that he had instructed the embassies in the Nanyang countries to immediately take action and open up a path of life for the affected countries!”
“At the same time, he also announced that the natural disaster relief troops of the federal empire are on standby and can be immediately deployed to assist the countries in disaster relief!”
“The Federal Empire will always be a good partner, neighbor, and friend of the countries in Nanyang.”
“They will not sit idly by!”
Ling Pingan listened and sighed. “If this continues, the price of the fruits in Nanyang will probably go crazy this year!”
Lychee, longan, banana, pineapple…
Nanyang’s fruits, which were of high quality and low price, had always been an indispensable food for the people of the metropolitan territory of the Federal.
With the double attack of the flood and typhoon, it was likely that they wouldn’t have the chance to eat cheap fruits this year.
Fortunately, the Nanzhou Kingdom and the Beizhou Kingdom were also producing fruits.
They could more or less make up for the shortage of Nanyang’s imports.
However, because of the long-distance, the price was much higher than that of Nanyang’s fruits.
Generally speaking, it was usual for the price to be 20 to 30% higher than always.
That was a heavy blow to the low-income groups!
It was likely that many families would have to reduce their purchases of fruits this year.
Thinking of this, Ling Pingan picked up his phone and scanned the donation link that appeared on the television screen.
Then, he donated 100 yuan as a token of his appreciation.
Soon, he received a thank-you message on his phone: The Federal Natural Disaster Relief Fund is thanking you for your generosity on behalf of the people of Nanyang!
You can log in to the Federal Natural Relief Fund’s official software with the QR code to track and monitor your use of the charity money.
Looking at this message, Ling Pingan felt that he had been sublimated.
… … … ..
Li Shouyi opened his eyes and ended his training.
He stood up and walked to the mirror.
Then, he couldn’t help but reach out to touch his hair.
It was black!
He looked at his hands again. His skin, which had been thin and old, was turning ruddy bit by bit.
The age spots were gradually fading.
He was young again!
He gently circulated his inner power and formed a Tai-chi in his hands.
The small Tai Chi rotated, and the two yin-yang fish seemed to come alive.
He smiled. “It was worth it for me to give up my reputation to end up like this!”
He knew very well that this was only the beginning.
He had already felt it when he had just started cultivating.
His body was starting to get younger and younger.
The things that had once shackled him were slowly being dispelled.
He would be able to digest the gains from today’s feast in as little as five days or the most half a month.
At that time, he would have the opportunity to advance further!
“Commander-in-chief…” Situ He’s voice came from outside the door at that moment. “The latest news from Nanyang…”
“Come in and talk!” Li Shouyi instructed softly.
After he said this, the smile on his face became even wider.
Because his voice also became younger.
Creak, the door was pushed open.
Situ He walked in and saw Li Shouyi’s hair was fully black and a face full of pride.
“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 looking at the current situation of the important beam of the federal empire, Situ He understood that this world’s strongest human had returned to the peak!
“Let’s not talk about these things for now…” 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… was still going on…”
“Climatologists and environmentalists say that this is because the southern Yin and Shang cold current in the southern Nanzhou was heated by the warm current near the equator, resulting in a reverse tide phenomenon…”
“In the past, similar reverse tides often occurred…
“Affecting the entire Eastern Hemisphere, especially the Nanyang Region…”
That was the knowledge that was already in the textbooks!
“Then why is it so serious this year?” Li Shouyi asked, “Are there any signs of human intervention or something similar?”
The countries in the Nanyang region were islands that surrounded the metropolitan territory of the Federal Empire.
Most of the countries had small populations and territories.
The larger regions were Luzon, Samboja, and Lanfang Gonghe.
Most of these countries gained their independence because of the federal empire.
Their basic safety was guaranteed by a series of treaties.
In a sense, it was as the news said: They were good neighbors, good partners, and good friends with the Federal Empire.
Therefore, for three hundred years, the countries of Nanyang, together with Fusang and Silla, formed an economic circle that relied on the economy of the Federal Empire’s metropolitan territory.
The federal empire exported industrial products and imported agricultural products from these countries.
Each took what they needed, and each got what they wanted.
Therefore, many foreign enemies would attack the countries of Nanyang or Fusang when they could not target the federal empire’s metropolitan territory.
“There is no relevant evidence at the moment…” Situ He said, “And there is no sign of it…”
“But that is the problem…”
“There have always been many remaining evils in the Nanyang Countries!” Situ He said coldly, “But they are not doing anything now…”
“That is very unusual!”
The Nanyang countries had been colonized and enslaved in history.
After gaining independence, they had been manipulated and influenced by foreign forces for a long time.
Especially when the bewitching masters from the local colluded with the Yan Sheng sect, which was expelled by the federal empire. They had been a great threat to the safety of the people of Nanyang for a long time!
Because of this, the Blackguard had been invited by the Nanyang countries many times to enter their territories to wipe out the bewitching masters, Voodoo Masters, and Yan Sheng sect that threatened the safety of the countries.
Twenty years ago, Li Shouyi had killed an evil god that was awakened by bewitching masters with a blood sacrifice in Nanyang’s Samboja. Thus, establishing his invincible status.
On the surface, he had eliminated these evil cultivators who threatened the countries.
But the remaining forces always existed.
Every time there were problems in the countries, they would come out and cause trouble.
A few years ago, they took advantage of the chaos caused by the demons in Fusang to create a bloody riot in the Samboja, trying to wake up a sealed evil Buddha.
Therefore, Situ He’s words were indeed worth considering.
Li Shouyi closed his eyes and thought for a while.
“How about this…” he said to Situ He, “Send a note in my name to the special affairs bureaus of each country…”
“Tell them that I will personally send an observation team into the borders of each country to look for clues. Please cooperate with the special affairs bureaus of each country!”
“Yes!” Situ He saluted. “Who do you plan to send to lead the team?”
Li Shouyi smiled. “I plan to take captain Li Anan as a special observer and lead a Blackguard team to enter the Nanyang Countries!”
“She is the most suitable candidate!”
Indeed!
There was nothing more suitable than this captain.
Although she was only a captain…
But behind her stood an unimaginable ruler!
So, her trip must be a success!
It had to be a success!
“But…” Situ He was slightly stunned, “Will the target have an opinion?”
“No!” Li Shouyi smiled. “Maybe he would like us to do this!”
He had personally said ‘high standards and strict requirements’, and he had also said ‘she should work more and train more!’
Li Shouyi had a feeling that he would be delighted!
