Xiang Chen has now made it clear that he is a fence-sitter.
It may sound shameful to sit on the fence, but it is indeed the survival rule for small countries among big countries.
The so-called fence-sitting faction means that I can jump left and right at any time. I will go to whoever is beneficial to me.
In the past, Tianlang City lacked such qualifications. Any party that dared to stand on the wall could be destroyed without any worries, so it could only remain neutral, no one could be offended, and it must benefit both parties in order to survive.
But now that Tianlang City has exposed the God-killing Martial, they can rely on the God-killing Martial to stand on the wall, so that all parties cannot despise themselves, but instead want to win over themselves, but they must also maintain neutrality.
This meeting did not last long, and both parties broke up on bad terms, but it was not to the point of breaking out.
Eunuch Song and the Minister Feng Ke did not leave. They reported the situation here and waited for the decision from above. Then there may be discussions with Tianlang City.
A few days after these two people arrived, people from the Beiyuan Empire also arrived.
The person from the Northern Yuan Empire was Xiang Chen's old acquaintance, Tuoba Wan'er, and he also brought Sukhbaru with him.
In the main hall, Sukhbalu saw Xiang Chen's eyes and wanted to bite Xiang Chen to pieces.
"Mu Chen, you bastard, how dare you plot against me about the Tomb of the Void!" Sukhbalu charged aggressively as soon as they met.
Xiang Chen refused to admit it and said: "Brother Su He, is that what I call calculation? Is the wine I invited you to drink called Wannian Zui?"
Sukhbalu said with a cold face: "Why are you calling Wannianzui?"
Xiang Chen said: "I said at that time that the ten thousand years of drunkenness is so powerful that you may not wake up for a long time after drinking it. Do you still remember what you said at that time?"
"I——" Sukhbalu suddenly hesitated upon hearing this, recalling the scene at that time.
"How can I be so drunk after being drunk for ten thousand years? Do you think I'm a little loser like you? I'm so drunk!"
At the wine table, Sukhbalu was shouting like this.
Xiang Chen repeated it to him again, and after he finished speaking, he sighed: "You are not a good drinker, and drinking will cause trouble. I was afraid that you would be punished again, so I turned into you and participated in the Tomb of the Void instead of you.
You have to maintain your external incarnation."
"I did this all for my brother, who knew you would blame me instead?"
"If I had the intention to harm you, you would have died long ago!"
Sukhbalu's eyes widened with anger: "You!!!"
Mad, I obviously feel like I've been cheated, but this bastard seems to make so much sense that I can't even refute it.
Seeing this scene, Tuoba Wan'er shook her head slightly and stepped forward and said: "We won't investigate what the purpose of Fellow Taoist Mu was at that time. Fortunately, General Sukhbaru is safe and sound."
"But this time, Tianlang City destroyed more than one million soldiers of our Beiyuan Empire. Shouldn't you give us a reasonable explanation?"
"Otherwise we will regard it as a provocation launched by Tianlang City against our entire Beiyuan Empire, and our Beiyuan Empire will definitely retaliate in full!"
"And such revenge is definitely not something that Tianlang City can resist."
Xiang Chen smiled slightly and said: "Miss Wan'er, please don't scare me. I am a timid person. If you scare me, I will directly join the Tianfeng Dynasty and Daoxuan Domain."
Tuoba Wan'er's beautiful eyes narrowed, revealing some sharp edges: "Are you threatening me? Threatening the Beiyuan Empire?"
Xiang Chen played with the jade ring on his finger and said calmly: "What the situation is, I think you know better than me."
"At that time, your Flying Bear Army went to invade Daoxuan Sect's territory and passed by our Tianlang City. Nothing would have happened to anyone."
"But you Flying Bear Army are so incompetent that you actually want to take advantage of the situation and destroy our Tianlang City. Our Tianlang City was forced to launch a just self-defense counterattack."
"It's not our fault, Miss Wan'er, if someone breaks into your home and wants to kill your family, wouldn't you resist?"
Tuoba Wan'er's face darkened when she heard this. She wanted to say something else, but Xiang Chen waved his hand and said, "There's no need to explain or quibble. Everyone knows the truth. Let's make it clear. What exactly do you want to do?"
Tuoba Wan'er looked at Xiang Chen for a long time, and then slowly said: "Give me the refining method of the weapon you used to kill our Beiyuan Empire soldiers, and we, the Beiyuan Empire, can forget about it!"
"Alternatively, your Tianlang City will be directly merged into the territory of our Beiyuan Empire. You will still be the leader of Tianlang City, but you will nominally submit to us."
Hearing this, Xiang Chen looked at the girl up and down with eyes as sharp as a pen, his eyes constantly looking at the girl's plump hills and slender jade legs.
The naked look in Ergou's eyes made Tuoba Wan'er feel like her whole body was numb at this moment, as if she was wearing nothing and was being looked at by an old pervert.
Her eyes suddenly filled with anger, and she glared at Xiang Chen fiercely, forcing Xiang Chen to retract his aggressive gaze.
Xiang Chen clicked his tongue: "Miss Wan'er's figure is really well developed."
Next to him, Sukhbalu smiled mischievously: "It's not bad, the butt is big, and it can give birth to a boy."
"you!"
Hearing this, Tuoba Wan'er turned around angrily and glared at Sukhbalu. Sukhbalu quickly looked away and rubbed his nose.
"Haha, heroes think alike. Why is Miss Wan'er so stupid when she is so beautiful? Do you think it is possible?"
"We, Tianlang City, built a city in a borderland because we want to live a free life without being restricted by any party."
"We will not take refuge with you, nor will we take refuge with Tianfeng or others. Of course, if you insist on forcing us to take sides, then I still have a lot of backbone."
"As for the method of refining weapons? What method of refining weapons?"
Tuoba Wan'er said coldly: "Friend Daoist Mu, please don't pretend to be ignorant. You cannot master the refining method of the weapons you used to kill our Flying Bear Army. Those weapons are so hot to the touch."
Xiang Chen said: "That's just a large batch of eternal immortal weapons self-destructing."
Tuoba Wan'er sneered: "Do you think I am a fool? Even if your entire Tianlang City is sold, you will not be able to purchase so many eternal immortal weapon materials."
Xiang Chen: "Then do you think I will be a fool? This is our Tianlang City's secret method, how can I leave it to you!"
Tuoba Wan'er: "Even if you have that kind of weapon, I don't think it will be easy to refine it. Tianlang City may not have any inventory at this moment."
"Even if there are stocks, can your weapons withstand an army of millions, an army of tens of millions, or an army of hundreds of millions?"
Xiang Chen: "Sirius City can't stop it, but what if it is sold to the Tianfeng Dynasty at a huge price? Can you stop the Tianfeng Dynasty's offensive after acquiring this weapon?"
