Seeing Ning Chen's tangled and painful expression, Marquis Dingguo thought for a moment and said, "You have a newly established Baijia City. As seniors, we should give you some military help."

After hearing what Marquis Dingguo said, Ning Chen suddenly smiled and said: "The love and care shown by the seniors to the juniors is really touching. The juniors couldn't help but burst into tears."

Marquis Dingguo looked at the smile that couldn't be concealed on Ning Chen's face and said, "Aren't you going to cry with joy?"

"I'm moved, mainly because I'm moved." Ning Chen said with a haha.

Of course, Marquis Dingguo would not be as knowledgeable as Ning Chen on such trivial matters.

This kind of yellow and white vulgar things has long been no longer what Dingguo Hou wants to pursue.

The opinions of Marquis Dingguo naturally represent the wishes of Prince Jing.

Now that the money problem is solved, the next step is the choice of candidates.

It's not like Ning Chen has never seen the masters from Prince Jing's side.

Those are all masters in the military.

It is their advantage to obey orders in a disciplined manner.

But it doesn't make any sense at all, and it's true.

And the most important thing is that all the generals under King Jing are men.

This is what Ning Chen dislikes the most.

It's good to have your own Senior Sister Bai.

So Ning Chen refused, and King Jing sent someone to give him a chance to force someone to lock him up.

Of course, Ning Chen didn't refuse Prince Jing's help.

Although King Jing is not suitable to send experts to himself.

But there are many people under King Jing who are very capable in running the army.

Now that Fang Xiong has returned to Marquis Dingguo, Ning Chen is in great need of a general who can command his own city defense army and two military towns.

For these sergeants who were once commanded by Fang Xiong, if anyone is randomly sent over at this time, they may not be able to suppress them.

But if it was a general under King Jing, Ning Chen believed that they would be convinced.

After all, Prince Jing's cavalry is as famous as Marquis Dingguo's Red Flame Army.

After discussing with Prince Jing and Marquis Dingguo how they can help each other.

Ning Chen discussed with them again the cost of each incident and the amount of military expenditure they needed to support Ning Chen.

Finally, after friendly discussions, Ning Chen had to pay one million taels of silver each to Marquis Ding and Prince Jing.

Then Dingguohou and Jingwang needed to support Ning Chen with 1.2 million taels of military expenses each time.

This time in and out, Ning Chen made a net profit of four hundred thousand taels of silver without doing anything.

This is still very acceptable to Ning Chen.

Of course, this little money is just a drop of money to Prince Jing and Marquis Dingguo.

The two of them didn't care about the two hundred thousand taels at all.

After talking about the main business, Ning Chen also planned to talk about other things.

For example, how to use luck to break through to the first level.

Although Ning Chen is only in the fourth rank now, in the eyes of many people, it is meaningless to inquire about this now.

But Ning Chen has improved quickly. Now that he knows something, it is still very beneficial to Ning Chen.

It is still up to Marquis Dingguo to help Ning Chen explain this matter.

"How do you think luck is generated?" Marquis Dingguo did not answer Ning Chen's question, but asked Ning Chen a question first.

Ning Chen thought for a moment and said: "The people live and work in peace and contentment, the court produces masters and solves opponents. These are the sources of luck."

Ning Chen is still clear about the way luck is born.

After all, these things were all done by Ning Chen.

Marquis Dingguo nodded and said: "You are right, this is how luck is created.

Therefore, luck can also be understood as the power of all living beings."

The power of all beings.

This is really the first time Ning Chen has heard this concept.

But this concept is not that difficult to understand.

Luck is born among all living beings. It is not difficult to understand if it is called the power of all living beings.

After further expansion, Ning Chen will roughly understand what Marquis Dingguo wants to say.

Since the Holy Door is not so easy to push open, then gather the power of all sentient beings to help you speed up the Holy Door.

In this way, it can help you quickly enter the first level.

Marquis Dingguo nodded and agreed with Ning Chen's speculation.

"But does this count as cheating?"

"And will there be any disadvantages to such a first-class product?"

Ning Chen asked two questions in succession.

Marquis Dingguo explained to Ning Chen: "You are right, this is indeed a kind of cheating.

At the same time, such a product does have a drawback.

But this disadvantage is good for me as well as for him.

This cannot be considered a disadvantage.”

Looking at Marquis Dingguo's gaze, Ning Chen's mind was racing, and he soon thought of the answer to this question.

"The disadvantage of Lord Marquis is that your power comes from all living beings, so you need to protect the safety of all living beings at the same time. Will the number of living beings determine your strength?"

Marquis Dingguo nodded and said, "What you said is not entirely correct."

"We used the power of sentient beings to help break through, and we really need to protect sentient beings."

"But in fact, the number of sentient beings does not determine our strength. One level is one level."

"This does not make us stronger or weaker just because of the number of sentient beings."

Ning Chen asked: "So what impact will the number of sentient beings have?"

Marquis Dingguo said: "Shouyuan."

"The number of sentient beings will directly determine the longevity of the two of us."

"Theoretically, the lifespan of a first-grade person can reach at least ten thousand years."

"But if you use the power of sentient beings to achieve the first level, then the longevity will be determined by the sentient beings."

"The more sentient beings we have, the longer our lifespan will be."

"If the number of sentient beings is small, our life span will be short."

This impact is not insignificant.

Of course this depends on how you look at it.

If it is for people like Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing.

This impact is not big at all.

Their mission of existence is to protect all living beings.

So if sentient beings cease to exist, their long lifespan would be a punishment to them.

That's why Marquis Dingguo said that the price of such a breakthrough was not worth mentioning for him and Prince Jing.

"Does this have a specific proportional relationship?" Ning Chen asked in depth.

Marquis Dingguo said: "I don't know the specific proportion. I have only seen such records in ancient books.

Those who use the power of all living beings to advance to the first level will live forever.

If the number of sentient beings decreases to one, the lifespan will be reduced by half."

After hearing this ratio, Ning Chen felt that it was really unfair.

If the number of sentient beings is reduced by one-tenth, life span should also be reduced by one-tenth. It would be too unreasonable to directly reduce it by half.

"Then if the number of sentient beings increases, will life span be extended accordingly?" Ning Chen continued to ask.

Marquis Dingguo shook his head: "I don't know about this. After all, from ancient times to the present, no one has been able to significantly increase the number of sentient beings during the reign of the same dynasty."

"Because their dynasty didn't have me, they didn't have this experience. It just so happens that we can complete the history in this area." Ning Chen said unceremoniously.

Of course Ning Chen is qualified to say such things.

The agricultural road opened by Ning Chen is a holy road that can help the population grow.
