This matter, Chu Xian explained, and when he met the envoy, he didn't actually want him, the first seat, to come forward, but now in the Shoufu Pavilion, Chu Xian is the one who knows the most about the Holy Domain Continent, and when the time comes, it can only be Chu Xian who will take the lead.

Before letting the envoy of the Holy Domain come in, Chu Xian summoned the members of the Shoufu Pavilion to ventilate first.

Some of the members of the Shoufu Pavilion have heard a little about the Sanctuary, some know a little, and some know nothing. Chu Xian briefly introduced Wang Shenling over there and said: "Lord Shouzao, although according to them, the Holy Domain only began to have contact with the Holy Dynasty more than ten years ago, but it is difficult to judge whether this matter is true or false, especially this kind of civil contact is difficult to trace back to the source, and the current situation is unclear, so we should be careful." ”

Over there, Zhao Heng also nodded: "What Wang Situ said makes sense, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, according to the current situation, the Holy Domain is also huge, although it is extremely far away from the land of Shenzhou, but if it is a top monk, this distance is nothing." In addition, we should also send envoys to the Holy Land. ”

Obviously, this proposal was approved by everyone, but the matter of sending an emissary still needs to be discussed.

Chu Xian nodded: "Let's see the messenger of the Holy Domain." ”

After speaking, he looked at the book of the Ministry of Rites, and the latter understood that he immediately asked people to invite the envoy of the Holy Realm in. After a while, I saw the messenger walk in, Chu Xian had already been to the Sacred Domain Continent, so he had an understanding of the Sacred Domain people, but the immortal officials present were all stunned for the first time when they saw the Sacred Domain people.

The people of this sanctuary have golden hair, a strong physique, and are dressed in a luxurious armor that shines with a strange power.

Chu Xian could see at a glance that this messenger was also a holy blood knight.

On the side of the Holy Domain, from low to high, there are steel-armored warriors, sword-wielders, atonement monks, holy blood knights, and when it comes to the holy blood knights, they are actually very high existences, and what Chu Xian can probe is also to this realm.

But what is certain is that the Holy Blood Knight is definitely not the pinnacle of the Holy Domain Continent.

The supreme power in the Sacred Domain Continent is not the Northern Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom, not to mention those small principalities, it is not worth mentioning, the strongest force in the Sacred Continent is the Sacred Domain Church.

As long as you know this, you can respond in a targeted manner.

Another point, Chu Xian felt that he should first find out the origin of this envoy, whether it was sent by the Sacred Domain Church, and if so, did the other party only send an envoy to the Holy Pilgrim's side? Or did he also have contact with other forces?

You have to figure it out.

"Dear Ruler of the Holy Dynasty, I am Kars, from the Southern Kingdom of the Sacred Continent, and I have come to meet the ruler of the Holy Dynasty at the behest of the King and the Bishop, and at the same time bring greetings from the King and the Church of the Holy Land. ”

After speaking, the other party put one hand across his chest, as if he was saluting.

Chu Xian knew that this was a kind of etiquette on the other side of the Sacred Continent, and in addition, this Kars spoke the standard Sacred Dynasty language, obviously, with the other party's ability, it would not be difficult to learn the prophecy here in a short period of time.

In addition, Wang Shenling is now the chief situ, and he is also fully responsible for the affairs of foreign envoys, so the next step is a general process.

The affairs of foreign envoys are very rigorous and serious, and for this kind of thing, both parties will prepare gifts, but there is no need for Chu Xian to worry about this kind of thing, the people below will arrange it properly.

The emissary named Kars apparently had a deep understanding of the Holy Pilgrimage, and when he spoke, he was also very relaxed, starting with a rapprochement, and then talking about trade, and even pleading for the establishment of a branch of the Holy Church in the Holy Pilgrimage.

This is no small matter.

It is impossible for a church like this to take root in another place without greeting the local authorities.

Therefore, in Chu Xian's opinion, the other party's talk about opening a branch of the Holy Domain Church is probably the main thing today.

For this matter, Chu Xian naturally would not agree.

But Kars apparently still has something to say.

"Dear Pilgrims, the Holy Land has no other meaning than to open a church branch, just to ensure some trade, and at the same time to learn the culture of the Pilgrimage and deepen understanding. "Kars spoke lightly about this matter, as if to say, such a small matter, there is no need to be suspicious, if you Pilgrimage does not even agree to this little thing, on the contrary, it will be a little open.

And immediately after, Kars said, "In the same way, the Holy Dynasty can also send people to set up a priest in our Sanctuary Kingdom, which is all possible, and it is protected by the local church. ”

Everyone has said this, and it is a little inappropriate to refuse directly.

Over there, Wang Shenling also knows that there may be many hidden dangers in this matter, of course, it is not without benefits, in short, it is necessary to weigh the pros and cons.

Wang Shenling said at the moment: "This matter can be planned first, in addition, if you come and don't be rude, we will also send an envoy to the Holy Land, and when the time comes, let's talk about something else." ”

Obviously, Wang Shenling used a procrastination technique.

In officialdom, this procrastination trick is definitely a tried-and-true clever trick, and it can be used in most scenarios.

Kars is not a fool either, he can hear it, but the other party did not hold on to this matter anymore, but nodded: "Since this is the case, then I will wait for your opinions, by the way, there is one more thing." ”

The Ministry of Rites over there said, "Please speak!"

Kars said at this time: "We have many chambers of commerce, since we want to do trade for a long time, we naturally need a foothold, in the coastal area of the East China Sea of the Holy Dynasty, I don't know if we can set aside a part of the area for our chamber of commerce, of course, it will not be in vain, how much rent should be paid, we will give." ”

Rent land!

At the moment, there are immortal officials thinking in their hearts, originally renting land is not a big deal, but who to rent it to, such as the people on the other side of the holy domain, it is impossible to rent the territory of the holy dynasty casually, at least, the immortal officials present have this consensus.

And over there, Chu Xian glanced at Wang Shenling, who understood, and said directly: "Merchants and traders, why rent land, coastal towns, all welcome merchants from the Holy Land to stay overnight." ”

That's a refusal.

Kars's face changed, and he was obviously a little displeased.

But he also knows that this is someone else's territory, and no matter how unhappy he is, he has to endure it.

He nodded: "In that case, then when I didn't say it." ”

After speaking, he sent some of the gift books organized by the Sanctuary over there, and he was about to leave, which included explanations about the Sanctuary Continent and human geography.

The Holy Pilgrimage is naturally returning the salute.

It seemed that the matter of the foreign envoy was about to end, but at this time, Kars remembered something, and said: "Please consider the matter of opening a church branch, this is indeed a matter that is beneficial to us, and next, I will stay at the holy pilgrimage for a few days, if you change your mind, or have a decision, please inform me as soon as possible." ”

After saying that, he bowed and left.

He's gone, and the Shoufu Pavilion still has to discuss this matter.

It is true that the matter of opening a branch needs to be discussed and weighed against the pros and cons, but the unanimous opinion is that it cannot be agreed to in a short time.

The understanding between the two sides is still not enough, Chu Xian next asked people to inquire about the news, as long as it is about the Holy Domain Empire, no matter how big or small this matter is, it cannot be let go.

A few days later, various messages came back one after another.

The intelligence department on the side of the Holy Dynasty is also in full swing during this time, exploring and collecting all the activities of the Holy Empire and the Church on this side.

Even if it's not in the territory of the Holy Pilgrimage.

Finally, Chu Xian got the news that a small country called the Xia Dynasty south of the Holy Dynasty Haizhou had 'leased' one-third of its territory to the Holy Domain Church a few months ago.

In addition, they are allowed to open church branches within their homeland.

This news is absolutely 'exciting', after Chu Xian heard the news, he immediately knew that the Holy Domain Church was afraid that it was not good-hearted, and the other party was not clever in its tricks, knowing that there was a chance that the Holy Dynasty would not lease out the land, so he did something early in the small country adjacent to the Holy Dynasty.

Helplessly, because it was not the territory of the Holy Dynasty, Chu Xian's side only knew about this matter until now.

At that moment, the Dong Candle Division and other intelligence departments began to operate, and according to the order given to them by Chu Xian, this matter must be investigated clearly.

So in just a few days, Chu Xian already knew the situation.

The Xia Dynasty was a small country, at most the size of a state with the Holy Dynasty, located in a remote area, in the early years did not belong to the territory of the Holy Dynasty, more than 2,000 years after the establishment of the Holy Dynasty, only the Xia royal family asked the Holy Dynasty to allow them to build a country in the south.

This is the origin of the Xia dynasty.

For thousands of years, the Xia Dynasty has been very low-key, of course, such a small land area, sparse population, and only a handful of masters, it is impossible to be high-profile.

In the past time of the Holy Dynasty, it is not that he did not think of 'annexing' the Xia Dynasty, but whether it is out of justice or morality, this kind of thing is not supported by most people.

So it's been until now.

But who would have thought that the Sacred Domain Church had quietly 'landed' on the Xia Dynasty, and had also planted power.

It's like a basin of water, if it's not stained with a drop of ink, it's impossible to get rid of it.

Of course, it is not possible to say how much impact it has had on the Holy Dynasty, but the current situation is that the Holy Domain Church is definitely a huge existence.

Even, in Chu Xian's feelings, he is going to surpass the demon clan and the witch clan.

The demon clan is independent, although there are many masters, but they are all scattered, although the Wu clan is still united, but there is not much left of the Wu ancestor, and it can't set off any storms.

And whether it is the demon clan or the witch clan, it cannot be compared with the current Tiantang Holy Dynasty, but the Holy Domain Church is different, as far as Chu Xian knows, although the Holy Domain Continent also has several kingdoms, but all of them are controlled by the church, so its strength even surpasses that of the Holy Dynasty.
