Haoxuan Building, Dongshi.
The most luxurious restaurant in the entire Dong City welcomed several distinguished guests today, so much so that the entire restaurant was booked.
There are countless guards both inside and outside the restaurant, both overt and covert.
A sensible person would naturally stay far away to avoid bumping into the noble person, and some even dared not even approach this area.
There are countless dignitaries in Chang'an City. Who knows which prince is here for the banquet today? The young man from the Duke's family.
Nowadays, it is difficult to find four-legged toads in Chang'an City, but there are not many dignitaries with two legs.
Zheng Jie and Feng Hao naturally arrived early.
One is the invitation they sent. As the ones hosting the banquet, they should be the first to arrive.
Secondly, the person they invited to the banquet was the Prince of the East Palace.
The prince is the king and they are the ministers.
From this perspective, there is nothing wrong with them going to the banquet.
"Mr. Zheng, do you think His Highness the Crown Prince will attend the banquet as promised today?"
Feng Hao looked worried.
Although they felt that the prince's character would probably come, no one knew what would happen until the last moment.
Judging from the current situation, the East Palace has not given any confirmation yet, so anything can happen.
"Don't worry, His Highness the Crown Prince will come to the banquet. I have watched His Highness the Crown Prince grow up with my own eyes, and I know His Highness the Crown Prince very well. With his character, there is no doubt that His Highness the Crown Prince will not let go of such a good opportunity to make friends with powerful officials. "
Since ancient times, if a prince wanted to ascend to the throne, the best way was to make friends with powerful officials.
Powerful ministers either had significant influence in the court, or simply held military power in their hands.
Therefore, they can have a profound impact on the situation of the court, and even the king is afraid of three points.
Therefore, generally speaking, the emperor would be very taboo about the prince and the vassal king making friends with powerful officials in the court.
But for ambitious princes and vassal princes, it is a matter of time before they make friends with powerful people. The difference is when to make friends and whether to show it openly.
"His Highness appears to have a gentle personality on the surface, but in fact he has a ruthless streak. As long as there is such ruthlessness in him, he will definitely fight for something that should be fought for. Don't worry."
Zheng Jie's words made Feng Hao feel slightly at ease.
Now they are risking their fortunes and lives for the sake of the country and the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
I just hope that His Highness the Prince will not disappoint them.
The waiting time was long, and Feng Hao took the initiative to talk to Zheng Jie in order to avoid embarrassment.
"Mr. Zheng, do you think we should unite with the academy in the current situation? His Majesty has been very wary of the academy in recent months, but that is probably because of the rift between His Majesty and the mountain chief. But aside from this It's a first-level relationship, but actually the academy has not sorry for us."
Zheng Jie did not respond immediately to Feng Hao, but pondered for a moment and said: "Yes, the academy has not failed the court, and the mountain chief has not failed your majesty. It is your majesty who is too narrow-minded. But thinking from the perspective of the royal family, in fact, your majesty did There is no problem. The mountain chief is a protector, so why not your majesty? It’s just that the mountain chief is stronger, and your majesty can only be defeated."
Zheng Jie's words made Feng Hao feel mixed emotions.
In this world, only the strong have the right to speak, and only the strong do the right things.
The weak will always be able to watch from a distance and have no choice at all.
"But now we are faced with a powerful enemy, and the rise and fall of our country can depend on a thought, so we must unite with the academy to fight against the enemy."
Finally Zheng Jie gave the answer.
Feng Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he has always hoped to unite with the academy.
But he was afraid that Zheng Jie would be afraid for various reasons.
Because Emperor Xianlong's influence on him was really great.
Although Zheng Jie now wants to put aside the influence of Emperor Xianlong, it is not easy to achieve this.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Jie still had his own independent judgment and decisive decision.
This made Feng Hao feel very admired.
"In this case, Mr. Zheng, when should we contact the academy?"
"There's no rush, it's not the right time yet. It won't be too late to wait until we have finalized the matter with His Highness the Crown Prince before we go to the academy to discuss cooperation matters. We have to eat our food in small bites, so there is no need to rush."
Zheng Jie's words were calm and clear, and he seemed confident.
Feng Hao felt a little calmer after hearing this.
"If the academy can take action, then Chang'an City will be safe."
Feng Hao still fully trusts the academy and the mountain chief.
In his eyes, the mountain leader is the undisputed strongest man in the world. Anyone who tries to compete with the mountain leader is actually just trying to rub off on the mountain leader's popularity and has no ability to fight.
Including the High Priest of the Demon Sect, the Sword Master of Dongyue, and even the monk from the Western Regions are no exception.
The only difference is that they can support a few more times in the hands of the mountain leader.
But in the end they will all lose.
In this case, what's the point of supporting it for a while?
"It's just that I heard that the mountain leader was injured in a fierce battle with the Demon Sect's high priest in the void. He should be recuperating in the academy now. I don't know how much of the peak combat strength the mountain leader still had after being injured."
Zheng Jie's words surprised Feng Hao again.
"The mountain leader is injured? How is that possible?"
"It's probably because he was injured and he didn't run away. I ordered my adopted son to go test it out before, and it was the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan who came forward. This shows that the mountain leader is still recuperating in seclusion. Otherwise, the mountain leader's character would not allow him to sit idly by."
"Is it possible that the mountain leader feels that a mere first-level master is not worthy of his personal appearance?"
Feng Hao still felt that Shan Changda had the upper hand because of his arrogance, so much so that he didn't even bother to come forward.
"No, I don't think that's the case. I thought so at first, but if you think about it carefully, when did the mountain master stand by and watch this kind of situation where the academy door was closed? No matter what Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Fairy, said, that's the case.
Outsiders. What's the point of asking an outsider to be busy here?"
What Zheng Jie said does have some truth to it.
The more Feng Hao thought about it, the more he felt it was like this.
"Then if this is really the case, the mountain commander must have been tricked. With the mountain commander's fighting power, if he had a head-on confrontation with the high priest of the Demon Sect, the high priest of the demon sect would not only hurt the mountain commander, but also want to fight with the mountain commander.
A tie is a very difficult thing.”
"Yes. So, the High Priest of the Demon Sect is also a tolerant person. In the battle of Chang'an, the High Priest of the Demon Sect challenged the mountain chief and was ultimately defeated. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been disheartened and would not dare to go there again.
The challenge was long. But the High Priest of the Demon Sect instead worked hard and planned for a long time. In the end, he really waited for the opportunity."
Zheng Jie said with emotion: "I suspect that the battle took place in the void space. The High Priest of the Demon Sect must be more than one person, and he must have helpers. The mountain leader must have been ambushed and attacked, and was finally injured when he was outnumbered.
"
Although Zheng Jie did not witness the situation with his own eyes, his analysis was reasonable and reasonable.
After hearing this, Feng Hao nodded repeatedly and said: "That's it. After all, the mountain leader is also a peerless strong man. Even if he is ambushed, he will be able to escape unscathed. If he is injured, it can only mean that the opponent has an absolute advantage in numbers. The mountain leader has an absolute advantage."
You are injured only when you are outnumbered. These guys really have no martial ethics."
"Not everyone values ​​martial ethics. Some people only see victory or defeat. As long as they can win, they can do anything."
Zheng Jie murmured: "This is why I look down on those so-called heretics."
The two were chatting to themselves when they suddenly heard a sound.
They all looked towards the stairs involuntarily.
They all knew who this person was.
Sure enough, after a moment, Prince Li Xiankun of the East Palace slowly appeared in front of them.
The prince wore a casual robe today, but it was still difficult to hide his nobility.
The temperament bonus brought by being pampered all day long makes the prince able to be recognized from a distance among the crowd.
Not to mention that Feng Hao and Zheng Jie had already met the prince.
The two of them quickly stood up and went to greet the prince.
"My minister Feng Hao and my servant Zheng Jie pay their respects to His Highness the Crown Prince."
The two of them bowed to the prince respectively.
Prince Li Xiankun raised his lips slightly and said with a smile: "You two don't have to be polite. You two are ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Only with you in the Great Zhou Dynasty can we stay strong. I am here also for the Great Zhou Dynasty.
, the purpose is the same as yours."
Listen carefully, the prince's intention when he said this couldn't be more obvious.
Of course Zheng Jie and Feng Hao understood.
They hurriedly said: "It's really great that His Highness the Crown Prince thinks so. We are all willing to be loyal to His Highness the Crown Prince and help the country!"
"Um"
"By the way, His Royal Highness, please take a seat."
Feng Hao suddenly realized that the Prince of the East Palace was still standing, and quickly made an invitation gesture.
Prince Li Xiankun was not polite, lifted up the hem of his robe and sat down at the top.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this table of food and wine is very rich. Thank you for your trouble."
Zheng Jie and Feng Hao looked at each other and thought that His Highness the Prince really knows how to joke.
When it comes to banquets, there is nowhere else in the world that can compare to the banquets in the palace.
Any banquet in the East Palace would be thousands of times more luxurious than here.
His Highness the Crown Prince said this, which made them not know what to say.
"Sit down, please take your seats too."
Seeing Zheng Jie and Feng Hao still standing there awkwardly, Prince Li Xiankun quickly greeted them.
Only then did the two of them take their seats.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your Majesty has favored a traitor recently, and the evil monk has done whatever he wants to stir up the atmosphere in the court. I have tried to dissuade Your Majesty more than once, but to no good effect. In desperation, I have no choice but to ask His Majesty to come out.
Please also ask Your Highness the Crown Prince not to refuse."
Zheng Jie said without hesitation.
Feng Hao was shocked when he listened on the sidelines.
Mr. Zheng, this is a bit too direct.
Although they will finally express their intentions to His Highness the Crown Prince and support him this time, there must be a step-by-step process.
Put it this way, His Highness the Crown Prince may feel a little embarrassed.
Sure enough, the pressure came to Prince Li Xiankun in an instant.
Li Xiankun pondered for a moment, picked up a glass of wine and took a sip.
The scene was a little awkward for a while.
After a moment of silence, Prince Li Xiankun sighed and said: "What you all think is not what I think? Logically speaking, a minister and a son should not talk about the emperor. But my father did go too far this time.
.As the crown prince of the East Palace alone, at this time, I should stand up and speak out for the country."
The prince's statement made Feng Hao breathe a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that the prince would not clearly express his feelings, which would make it difficult for them to do it.
But the prince had just made his words so clear, so they could safely and boldly support him.
Feng Hao and Zheng Jie looked at each other and realized in their hearts.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, now that the country is in decline, I would like to ask Your Highness to ascend the throne as soon as possible to help the country."
Since you want to be loyal, just be direct and don't play with those vain things.
Feng Hao was the first to speak out without hesitation.
Hearing this, Zheng Jie also said: "Yes, Your Highness, the Kingdom of Zhou has been established for hundreds of years, and it cannot be destroyed by the hands of this monster monk. Please also ask His Highness, the Prince, to come to the great treasure as soon as possible to save the country in this crisis."
The two of them spoke together as if they had agreed, which really shocked Li Xiankun.
However, despite being surprised, Li Xiankun was still happy.
What are the identities of these two people?
Feng Hao and Zheng Jie, one is a bad handsome man, and the other is a chamberlain supervisor.
The two of them controlled the entire military power of Chang'an.
It can be said that as long as he has the support of these two people, the prince will have the support of half of Chang'an.
Although Li Xiankun had many supporters in the outer court, the Forbidden Army had never been able to get through.
How could he not be happy that he could easily conquer two generals now?
"That's all. For the sake of the country and the country, just do it reluctantly."
Logically speaking, Li Xiankun still has to make three concessions and three concessions. But at this moment, there are no outsiders, and Li Xiankun doesn't want to play another show.
He clearly expressed his attitude, which was equivalent to giving Feng Hao and Zheng Jie a reassurance.
Feng Hao and Zheng Jie were truly relieved now.
It is undoubtedly the best for the prince to think so.
"Your Highness's wisdom is indeed a blessing to the country and the ancestral temple."
Zheng Jie first flattered him, and then said leisurely: "But Your Highness, there is something that I have never understood. Since Your Highness had the opportunity to kill King Qi, why didn't you do it?"
Now that he is one of his own, Zheng Jie can naturally ask some obscure questions.
Prince Li Xiankun did not hide it, and said with emotion: "King Qi has always been Gu's main competitor. Of course Gu knows this. The reason why Gu did not take action to kill King Qi was mainly because he did not want to arouse the suspicion of his father. In fact, Gu did not want to arouse the suspicion of his father.
I already have a series of handles on King Qi in my hand, and if these handles are shaken out, it will be enough to kill King Qi ten or eight times."
The prince said that the two of them can rest assured.
If the prince is still talking about brotherhood at this time, it would be really unreasonable.
Being born into an emperor's family, there are too many things you can't help yourself with, and you can't do many things according to your own personality.
"Your Highness, King Qi has arranged many informants near the restaurant this time. Do you want to order someone to kill them all?"
Feng Hao made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"There's no rush, let's see what kind of waves they can stir up."
Li Xiankun's answer was somewhat unexpected.
"The King of Qi wants to put Gu Gu to death to replace him. Gu will naturally respond tooth for tooth and eye for eye."
The prince's originally gentle eyes suddenly flashed with a stern look.
"Gu must ensure that he will kill with one strike. He will only take action when he is sure of it. Before that, Gu will not take action rashly. Because once he takes action, it means there is no way back."
Zheng Jie understood it completely now.
It’s not that the prince doesn’t want to get rid of King Qi.
As the main contender and direct rival for the throne of the Zhou Dynasty, King Qi posed a great threat to Prince Li Xiankun.
As long as Li Xiankun seizes the opportunity, he will definitely kill him and send King Qi to the eighteenth level of hell, where he will never be able to stand up again.
Of course, the opportunity the prince mentioned should refer to the coup.
It turns out that the prince wanted to take advantage of the coup to kill two birds with one stone!
The prince not only wanted to replace Emperor Xianlong, but also wanted to take this opportunity to completely eradicate King Qi's party.
Only by cutting off the roots can future troubles be permanently eliminated.
So cruel.
Of course, if you are not ruthless, how can you sit in the position of prince for so long? If you are not ruthless, how can you have a chance to compete for the throne.
It's all spelled out.
"Your Highness, if we want to clear the emperor, we must first ensure that we control the palace gate. The internal guards are stationed in the imperial city to serve as supervisors, and the bad guys are stationed in the bad people's yamen in the city. These two forces are under our control. Basically, the south gate of the palace
The east gate and the east gate are all under our control. But the north is where the Shence Army is stationed, and the west is where the Longwu Army is stationed. It is not easy for us to control these two aspects."
Feng Hao knew the layout of the imperial army very well.
In his opinion, if you want to launch an attack, it is best to start from the south and east, where you will have a greater chance of winning.
"Both the Shence Army and the Longwu Army were cultivated by the Emperor Father. They swear loyalty to the Emperor Father to the death. If we want to win over them, it may not be easy."
Prince Li Xiankun frowned and said: "So General Feng's idea is right. We should avoid these two directions."
Seeing that the prince agreed with his judgment, Feng Hao said happily: "Your Highness, we can create a fire first, and then rush into the palace in the name of putting out the fire. The east gate will be easier than the south gate, because Daming Palace
The East Gate is adjacent to the East Palace, and the closest place is even separated by a wall."
Prince Li Xiankun nodded.
"So, General Feng's side is the main direction of attack."
The Bad Man's Yamen is located in Longshouyuan of Jiacheng City, very close to the East Gate and East Palace of Daming Palace.
In comparison, it would indeed be easier for Feng Hao to do it.
"I am willing to die for Your Highness."
After being pointed out by the Prince of the East Palace, Feng Hao knew that he had to make a clear statement.
At this time, he could not have any hesitation and must stand firmly on the side of the prince.
"Good, very good."
Li Xiankun nodded with satisfaction.
"If I can get help from General Feng, great things can be accomplished."
"As for Mr. Zheng..."
The prince turned to Zheng Jie again and said leisurely: "Mr. Zheng should also attack at the same time, so that the imperial army can be prevented from looking at each other."
If they only attack from one direction, the Imperial Army can respond in an orderly manner, even without any pressure.
But if they exert force from two directions at the same time, the situation will be completely different.
The imperial army could not save the east but could not save the south. As long as one army entered the palace and controlled the emperor's affairs, it would be a major event.
In this kind of thing, it is always necessary to capture the thief first and capture the king first. As long as you control the emperor and hold the emperor hostage to command the princes, the rest of the matter will be simple.
"good."
Zheng Jie calmly uttered one word, seemingly confident.
"In this case, I think there is no problem. We just need to find a suitable entry point."
Timing is important, especially in a coup.
Choosing the right time can get twice the result with half the effort.
If you choose the wrong time, it may lead to a disastrous defeat.
The losers of the coup have no chance of making mistakes.
If you fail once, you will be doomed. You will be thrown into the eighteenth level of hell, and then you will be kicked hard and you will never be able to get over.
Therefore, Prince Li Xiankun must be extremely cautious to ensure that no accidents occur.
…
…
"There's nothing more comforting than a cup of milk tea."
Zhao Xun drank a cup of milk tea and felt refreshed.
This thing is really refreshing.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk...Brother Mingyun, your milk tea is really the best in the world. After one cup, you still want to drink a second cup. After drinking the second cup, you still want to drink a third cup."
"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous. It's not as exaggerated as you said."
Zhao Xun thought to himself, good guy, with a physique like Wangcai, he is really a milk tea reaper.
"No, no. Good is good, bad is bad. This milk tea is so delicious, how could I tell lies with my eyes open?"
Wangcai patted his chest and promised: "Brother Mingyun, if you can trust me, tell me the secret recipe of this milk tea and then authorize it to me. I promise to make this milk tea popular throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Zhao Xun still trusts Wangcai's business acumen, but Zhao Xun is really hesitant.
Is he going to reveal the secret recipe for milk tea?
If it were taken out, wouldn't it mean that milk tea would appear on the streets of Chang'an City and even Dazhou?
When the niche becomes the public, when what is unique to you has to be shared with others, everything changes.
But it can indeed be exchanged for a lot of money.
This is really a troubling question.
At this moment, Zhao Xun felt that his entire spirit was about to break.
"Brother Mingyun, just think about it carefully, I won't trick you."
Wangcai patted his chest again and promised: "There is no need to say more about our relationship, right?"
"Uh, this..."
Faced with the temptation of wealth, Zhao Xun almost couldn't bear it anymore.
"All right…"
After much hesitation, Zhao Xun finally made a decision.
"Then I will authorize you the formula of one of the milk teas. But Wangcai, let's talk about it first, you must not leak the formula."
When Wangcai heard this, he felt ecstatic in his heart.
"Haha, brother Mingyun, just don't worry. Aren't you still worried about my mouth?"
Wangcai kept patting his chest and promised: "Haha, let me calculate how much money I can make in a day. The price of this milk tea can be ten cents per cup, and the cost is three cents at most. Such a cup can make a net profit of seven cents. If in the entire city of Chang'an,
For retail sales, if you can sell 10,000 cups, you can earn 70 guan. If you can sell 100,000 cups, you can earn 700 guan!"
Wangcai's little head is like an abacus, constantly calculating.
The population of Chang'an City exceeds two million.
This price can be said to be very cheap, not much more expensive than a big bowl of tea on the roadside.
So we followed the route of small profits but quick turnover.
There is no problem in selling 10,000 cups a day. Whether it can sell as many as 100,000 cups depends on the appeal of the taste of milk tea.
This thing is the best at attracting repeat customers.
If you can attract enough repeat customers, the next thing will be easy.
Wangcai believes that a stable profit model will soon be formed, which will soon form a virtuous cycle.
A benign model can make milk tea more competitive.
Based on Wangcai's judgment, this milk tea is simply inferior to similar types of milk wine and fruit wine.
Seeing Wangcai so happy, Zhao Xun was also happy from the bottom of his heart.
He believed in Wangcai's business ability, and even more believed in Wangcai's vision.
There is nothing wrong with being optimistic about business opportunities.
Of course, Zhao Xun also kept an eye on it.
He did not intend to give all the secret recipes of milk tea to Wangcai, but he only planned to give one of them to Wangcai to test the waters first.
If the effect is good, we will release other secret recipes for milk tea one after another.
"By the way, Brother Mingyun, how is the manuscript going?"
Wang Cai's sudden question almost made Zhao Xun spit out a mouthful of milk tea.
Good guy, he can't even stop the little fat man's mouth with milk tea, what is he trying to do?
"Can you please stop pressing me for the manuscript? Please."
Zhao Xun was really forced to do nothing.
"Nowadays I really can't spare the time to write."
"Can't find time? I don't think so. Brother Mingyun can obviously find time to cook. Why do you have no time when it comes to writing a manuscript?"
Wangcai, however, refused to give in at all and spoke tit-for-tat.
"Well…"
Zhao Xun choked for words for a moment.
It seems that there is nothing wrong with what Wangcai said.
Because he does have time to cook and make milk tea.
But these are clearly two different things.
Cooking makes people happy, and making milk tea can also make people happy.
But writing a manuscript is different.
Writing a manuscript is really a painful thing. It would be better if you have an idea. If you don't have an idea, then writing a manuscript is as painful as squeezing toothpaste.
Zhao Xun doesn't want to become bald at an early age, so he won't stay up all night writing the manuscript anyway.
He sets himself no more than two hours of writing time per day. In fact, he usually only writes for about an hour.
He will never write again after this time.
Not a single word.
Since you can choose to make salted fish and lie flat, why do you have to roll it inwards?
Involution can easily be painful.
"Brother Mingyun, you have to cheer up and never lose yourself. You were so popular in the literary world. You were very popular and became popular all over the world. In this case, as long as you keep writing, you can continue to be popular. But
As long as you stop writing, even if you are cool for half a year, when you pick up the pen again and want to write, it will be a completely different situation. By then, you may be completely cold."
Holy shit!
Zhao Xun secretly cursed in his heart.
It would be okay if Wangcai didn't say this, but when Wangcai said this, he really felt a little scared in his heart.
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
I have to say that Wangcai really moved Zhao Xun's heart.
"Okay, then I'll give it a try. But I definitely can't make updates like before. The reason why I could make updates before was because I had saved manuscripts. But now I have exhausted all the saved manuscripts. No.
, there is not a word left. So now every word I write is coded."
Zhao Xun started crying without hesitation because he knew this trick was very effective.
The function of crying about poverty is to gain maximum sympathy, thereby lowering other people's psychological expectations of you.
"Uh, it's so miserable... That doesn't matter. Brother Mingyun, you can write it. It doesn't matter if you can't finish it. Anyway, as long as there is a manuscript to write, it will be fine."
As expected, when Wangcai saw Zhao Xun in such misery, he felt compassion for him for a moment.
Good guy, this trick is really a killer trick that has been tried and tested repeatedly.
"Haha, that's great. If you say that, I feel relieved."
"Come on, I'll make a salad for you to eat."
"Brother Mingyun, I don't want to eat grass..."
The prosperous person has a sad expression on his face.
"No, you want!"
Zhao Xun interrupted without hesitation.
He doesn’t want you to feel it, he wants me to feel it.
…
…
"The leader of the dwarves, Jerlin, wants to visit you, your highness."
Baron Goos came to Prince Harry Botzman and saluted him respectfully.
"Well…"
Prince Harry Postman has calmed down from his initial anger.
He knows that impulse cannot solve any problem, it will only make people in a state of madness.
"Tsk tsk... I didn't expect them to take the initiative to show their kindness."
Harry Postman knew that cooperation was the best option right now.
Confrontation will not solve any problems and will escalate the situation.
"Then actually it doesn't hurt to let them come and have a chat."
Since the other party came to his door, Prince Harry Botzman had no reason to refuse to meet him.
This is very rude behavior.
"Okay, then I'll go make arrangements. Your Highness, please be sure to exercise restraint."
Although I know that Prince Harry Botzman's mood has calmed down.
But Baron Goos was still afraid that His Highness the Prince would suddenly become impulsive. So he had to fulfill his obligation and remind him as much as possible.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid. The future of the kingdom rests on my shoulders, and I will definitely carry the responsibility on my shoulders."
…
…
The dwarf leader Jerlin decided to meet with the human prince Harry Postman.
This was his second most important meeting after his meeting with Zhao Xun.
Jaelin didn't want to mess things up so he started making serious preparations before the meeting.
From clothing to every detail...
Although this may seem a bit cumbersome, it can indeed make the other party feel respected during the meeting.
Because of their stature, dwarves need to wear specially customized evening gowns.
After Jie Lin put on his tuxedo, he looked in the mirror and made sure it fit him well before he walked out.
"Everything is ready, Baron Guos."
Seeing Baron Guos waiting outside, Jielin immediately stepped forward and nodded.
Baron Guos was a little surprised to see the dwarf leader Jerlin dressed so well.
"Very good, I will take you to see His Highness the Prince right now."
"Well…"
Compared with Baron Guos's tall figure, which is as tall as a hill, Jie Lin's figure is as inconspicuous as a small mound.
"His Royal Highness, I am very happy that you can take the initiative to come. This is a good start. As long as we can form an alliance, any opponent will not be a problem."
"Yes, the Corruptors are not invincible. They also have weaknesses. The reason why they could do whatever they wanted in the continent of Ellen Lore before was because we were a piece of loose sand at that time and did not unite. As long as we can truly form an alliance, any opponent will be able to do whatever they want.
Nothing to fear."
…
…
"It's a pleasure to meet you in a completely new country, His Royal Highness Prince Harry Botzman."
The dwarf leader Jerlin smiled slightly and greeted Prince Harry Botzman.
He is the leader of the dwarf clan, so it is naturally impossible for him to treat Prince Harry Botzman with the same respect as a servant treats his master.
Being able to behave like this is the limit of what he can do.
Prince Harry Botzman nodded slightly and smiled for a long time without saying a word.
This time, Jie Lin was confused.
What's happening here?
Why didn't the prince say anything for a long time?
The two stared at each other for a long time, and finally Prince Harry Botzman couldn't help it anymore.
The prince cleared his throat and said: "Chief Jielin, I heard that the dwarves have almost moved their entire clan this time, right?"
"Roughly the same."
Jie Lin said truthfully: "Except for a small number of people who stayed behind, most of the people came to this new world. The opening of the Dark Portal is really crucial. Our people can't wait to explore the new world. You
Well, Your Highness, the situation should be similar, right?"
"Well"
Harry Postman was about to speak when he was bumped into by Baron Guos and immediately changed his tone: "The situation here is quite bad. Most of the subjects in the Casper Kingdom have stayed in the kingdom.
This prince is only leading a small group of them to explore."
"That's it. As far as I know, the Corruptors should have followed you all the way. Your Highness, the Prince, must have wanted to seek an alliance when he came to Zhongnan Mountain, right?"
"It's natural."
After all, humans and dwarves are somewhat related by blood.
After Prince Harry Botzman figured it out, he still hoped to form an alliance with the dwarves to jointly defend against the enemy.
The advantage of this is that when facing a strong enemy, members of the entire alliance can support each other, avoiding the embarrassing situation of being unable to mediate once a tribe is attacked.
"But I don't think the more members the alliance has, the better. Although this sentence sounds a bit unpleasant, it is the truth. There are too many members in the alliance and it is difficult to control, and each tribe will have its own ideas."
The dwarf leader Jerlin took a deep breath and said: "So I think five to six tribal alliances is the limit. Any more will be really difficult to control."
"Your thoughts are similar to mine."
Prince Harry Botzman deeply agrees with Jie Lin’s view.
"Many times we are too blind. We always want to expand rapidly and defeat our opponents as much as possible. However, the alliance is too big and it is not conducive to management. Moreover, we are now in a brand new world, and it is inevitable to form an alliance.
To obey the orders of the powerful in this world, the academy will definitely play a leading role in the alliance. Is this acceptable to us?"
There was a hint of anger in Harry Postman's words.
His anger towards the academy, especially Zhao Xun, has not subsided until now.
In his opinion, Zhao Xun really went too far.
Treat them differently, but there is no need to treat them differently to this extent.
No one can bear this.
"Academy as the leader? There is no problem with that. Otherwise, who should be chosen to take the lead? When we were on the continent of Ellen Lore, it was difficult to find an absolute leader, because no one would obey anyone. So if
Choosing the Academy as the leader is equivalent to solving this problem. I don’t think there is anything wrong with it.”
The attitude of the dwarf leader Jerlin made Prince Harry Botzman stunned.
He originally wanted to seek a consensus with the dwarf leader, but unexpectedly the dwarves didn't have the same idea as him.
This topic was directly sidetracked.
Prince Harry Botzman naturally hopes to push the topic back as far as possible.
He coughed and said: "That's not what you said. I think we should still seek leadership as much as possible. No matter who takes the leadership, after all, it is a tribe that came out of the Ellen Lore continent. If the academy takes the leadership,
Don’t we all have to be led by their noses?”
Prince Harry Botzman wants to convince the dwarf leader Jerlin.
But Jerlin had his own ideas. How could he let Prince Harry Botzman lead him astray?
I saw Patriarch Jielin shaking his head repeatedly and saying: "No, no. That's not what you said. We have just come to a new world and are not familiar with it. At this time, no one is willing to accept us. It is the academy that is most difficult for us.
People should feel grateful. I think we have no reason to go against the Academy at this time. Then again, what is the meaning of so-called dominance? Don’t we still have to fight against the corruptors in the end? Always.
The Corruptor has been our biggest enemy since then. As long as the Corruptor can be eliminated, I think it is acceptable."
"Okay, since you think so, I won't say more."
Prince Harry Botsman waved his bulging hands and said, "See you off."
A chat just ended in ruins.
When Jielin saw this, he got up and turned around and walked out.
Baron Guos was very desperate at this moment.
But he couldn't say much in front of others.
If it touches the fragile nerves of His Royal Highness, the consequences will be even more serious.
After the dwarf clan leader Jerlin left, Baron Goos approached Prince Harry Botzman and said seriously: "Your Highness, why did you bother just now? The dwarves are a very good ally. We will
Wouldn't it be nice for him to fight for it?"
"Win them over?"
Prince Harry Botzman sneered.
"It's not like I haven't tried it, but you can see their attitude. From the beginning, they never wanted to compete for dominance. This guy completely regards himself as a vassal of the academy. Open your mouth to the academy, shut up the academy, the academy's
Is he his biological father? I just don’t understand. He is obviously from the continent of Ellen Lore, but he is closer to people from another world. He deserves to be a dwarf, and he deserves to be a lowly tribe."
Prince Harry Pottsman made harsh remarks, and Baron Guos was helpless.
"Your Highness, will you force the dwarves to go to the academy by saying this?"
"Let them go. If they are willing to kneel and lick the academy, let them kneel and lick it. Anyway, I have completely understood that if people want to succeed, they must rely on themselves. It is unrealistic to expect to rely on others."
Prince Harry Botzman waved his hand and said: "Let them go to hell. Our human race is the most powerful tribe. We don't have to rely on anyone. We are just working together to live together, but if we really fight, we still have to rely on ourselves."
