"Prince Yoshinaga, do you know the reason why the old man sent you here?"
The great elder asked calmly.
Lai Yichang frowned slightly, but still replied: "I don't know."
"Then do you know what's going on in our Qinhai area recently?" the great elder asked again.
"I know, if I want to talk about things that can attract the attention of all the elders, the first thing should be the matter of the Queen leading troops to attack the Dark Mermaid, and there are also..." Lai Yishang said a few things that deserve the attention of senior mermaids like them.
things, and in the most inconspicuous place, it also talked about the fight between the swordfish clan and the shark clan.
The great elder nodded, and then said softly: "Lai Qiuqun has disappeared recently."
After Lai Yichang came in, he had been wondering what the elders had come to him for and what their purpose was. When he heard what the elder said, he was stunned. Could it be that the purpose this time was related to Lai Qiuqun?
Lai Qiuqun and he are not closely related. Lai Yicheng is a direct member of the mermaid royal family, and now he has the status of a prince, while Lai Qiuqun is just an ordinary mermaid. But as a prince, he has the obligation to save the originally small number of mermaids.
The names of the mermaids were all in his mind, so Lai Yichang quickly thought of who Lai Qiuqun was.
The great elder said that he was missing. Lai Yichang knew that this was most likely the key point of the matter, so he began to pay attention and said: "Why is he missing? Could it be that he has traveled around?"
?”
The great elder shook his head and said: "I asked him to convince two people. If he can convince them, he will come back. If he is not convinced, he will kill them. But he did not come back."
Lai Yichang raised his head, looked at the elder, and asked, "Who are you going to kill?"
"Elder Miao Xiaojian and the strange nurse from the Swordfish Clan replied.
Lai Yichang's heart tightened. He was shocked by the news. The elder knew that Miao Xiaojian was his daughter, but he sent someone to kill her. The murderer didn't come back, and he came to question him. Such a thing was shocking.
He was angry, but in front of all the elders, Lai Yichang sighed and lowered his head.
He is naturally concerned about Miao Xiaojian. He has not heard any bad news about her in the past few days. And now the Great Elder said that Lai Qiuqun has not come back, which means that Miao Xiaojian is safe, and Lai Qiuqun may have already
died.
This made him slightly shocked. Lai Qiuqun was at the second level of Xuanyuan level, and Miao Xiaojian was only at the first level. They were one level apart in strength, but Lai Qiuqun was left alive. This was too surprising. At the same time, he
He was also surprised at Miao Xiaojian's strength, but he thought about it. Even if Xuanyuanpin 1st level could defeat Xuanyuanpin 2nd level, it would be impossible to save the opponent's life. This was too strange.
Then he thought of the shadow of a man, that human being, whose daughter couldn't kill Lai Qiuqun, so the accident happened to him. If he and his daughter were together, it was really possible to kill Lai Qiuqun.
Thinking of this, he felt relieved about his daughter and began to think about the problems before him.
The murderer sent by the great elder died, but Lai Qiuqun is also a member of the mermaid clan, so as a prince, he has to take certain responsibilities for his death and avenge him. This is how the royal family in the mermaid royal family has to deal with ordinary people.
Mermaid protection
What does the Great Elder mean?
"We, the mermaid clan, cannot let a little shrimp be killed. If we cannot give them severe punishment, will we mermaids still have the face to control the power of Qinhai in the future? Aren't all the sea clans in Qinhai coming to provoke us and assassinate us?
Mermaids? Aren’t the mermaids of other sea empires laughing at us? As the mermaid prince of our Qin Hai, Yoshitsune, you should do this well." The great elder began to say angrily, and the big hats were compared with each other.
The praise is still high, and finally he said to Lai Yichang in an encouraging tone.
Lai Yi's face was slightly strange and ugly. After he finished speaking, he asked: "Has Qiu Qun's body been found?"
"No, if he was killed, they would have eaten his body long ago. How can foreigners have such noble morals as our mermaids? We mermaids don't eat the sea tribe, but the swordfish tribe is different." The sixth elder ranked
The man shouted.
It seems that after the great elder said so much, Lai Yichang did not listen. Instead, he came to ask about Qiu Qun's body. This obviously showed that he did not trust the great elder. The sixth elder and other elders were very dissatisfied.
"Elders, I will immediately send people to search for Qiu Qun. If the clues point directly to the Swordfish Tribe, then I will demand justice for the Mermaid Tribe." Lai Yishang said.
.
He still wanted to help his daughter in his heart, but now he had to at least get through the hurdles of the elders and wait until later to talk about other matters. This was a delaying strategy.
The great elder's expression changed and he asked: "What is your attitude? As a mermaid prince, don't you want to protect your tribe?"
"Great Elder, what do you mean by this?" Lai Yichang raised his head and looked at the Great Elder, "Do you just want to see Qiu Qun's body? What if Qiu Qun is still alive?"
The faces of the great elder and other elders all dropped, and they looked at Lai Yichang very unkindly.
The two sides looked at each other for a while, and the elder knew that Lai Yichang was still reasonable, so his expression softened, he waved his hand, and then said: "Okay, you go check this matter. However, the Swordfish clan has been causing trouble recently.
There is no peace in Deqinhai. Go and settle this matter. Anyone who makes trouble will be punished."
"Great Elder, the mermaid ancestors said when they were fish kings a few generations ago that mermaids do not interfere with the internal affairs of other sea tribes in the Accord Sea. I think this matter is not suitable for us to interfere with the shark tribe and swordfish tribe.
It's an internal matter," Lai Yishang said.
If the mermaid orders to deal with a sea clan, then other sea clans in the Qin Sea can attack this sea clan. If the Swordfish clan is really regarded as the common enemy of the Qin Sea, I am afraid that the Swordfish clan will not survive for long.
After Lai Yichang came in today, he always opposed the elders and stood against them. This made the elders very dissatisfied. As the second elder, the mermaid then hummed: "What do you mean by other sea tribes?"
Internal affairs, we have taken care of this matter, are we going to let some guy mess with Qinhai?"
"No, what the second elder said is wrong. There are tens of millions of ethnic groups in our Qinhai. Every day there are conflicts and fights among ethnic groups. Every day, ethnic groups disappear in such ethnic fights. But our predecessors still said
You can't interfere with their internal affairs. This is the rule of the Sea Clan. Don't you think the second elder thinks what the predecessors said is wrong?" Lai Yishang said without any concession.
Mermaid is a sea tribe with a very traditional ideology. Such things like disrespecting the ancestors are something that the entire Mermaid tribe will fight against, so the second elder was asked by Lai Yi and immediately held back, even though he was dissatisfied with Lai Yi.
He had a long attitude, but he didn't dare to refute a word.
The first elder saw that the second elder could not resist, so he waved his hand and said: "But what if it is a malicious killing of the clan?"
"In any war, there is no distinction between good and evil. The sea people are all big fish eating small fish."
"Is this also what the ancestors said?" the great elder asked with an aggressive look.
Lai Yishang narrowed his eyes and said: "No. But everyone knows this, and it is not a reason to cheat."
"Okay, you want a reason, then I want you to clean up the rubbish of my mermaid clan. Do you have a reason to intervene?" The great elder showed his teeth, fearing that Lai Yishang would make excuses again, he added
Said: "Don't say that the daughter of the Swordfish clan is not your daughter."
Lai Yichang was angry, but he raised his head and said calmly: "But this is not the reason for my mermaid to cheat."
"Why, she is tarnishing the reputation and honor of the mermaid clan outside now, shouldn't she be eliminated?" the great elder said stubbornly.
Back then, the Great Elder ordered Miao Xiaojian's mother to be killed, but Miao Xiaojian's mother was a princess of the Swordfish Tribe, so the Swordfish Tribe protected her. In the end, the Great Elder bribed the Shark Tribe with profits, and the Shark Tribe slaughtered Jian.
They belong to the fish clan, so there are things that follow.
It can be seen that the great elders or the mermaid race have a very hypocritical sense of honor, and any "what-like" Miao Xiaojian that tarnishes the honor of the mermaids must be eliminated.
Back then, Yoshitsune couldn't protect his beloved, but now Yoshitsune has decided to protect his daughter.
Since the incident with Miao Xiaojian's mother, Lai Yichang has not fallen in love with anyone else, nor has he had any other daughters. Now his only daughter is Miao Xiaojian, so he now has a strong desire to protect him.
He looked at the Great Elder and said: "What the Great Elder said is not right. We do not recognize her identity, and she does not recognize her identity as a mermaid. In what name do we execute people, and she is the head of a clan. How can she be treated like this by others?"
What will the Sea Tribe think of our mermaid clan when they see it? When they are afraid of us mermaids, they all swim to the East China Sea Empire or other empires. How can our Qin Hai Empire survive?"
Lai Yichang was always against the great elder today, making all the elders dissatisfied. Now he said such words and once again went against the great elder, making all the elders angry. Almost all the elders shouted in unison:
: "Presumptuous, Lai Yichang, you are so bold."
.
The Great Elder was originally very angry, but when other elders got angry, he immediately suppressed his anger and kept a calm demeanor.
Lai Yichang allowed them to scold him without saying anything back, which only showed the bad attitude of the elders. He scolded the disrespectful elders for a long time, and couldn't help but stop, but still stared at him fiercely.
The great elder said: "Well, Lai Yichang, please go down and find out what happened to Qiu Qun as soon as possible."
Yoshinaga turned around and went out.
Several other elders turned to the great elder and asked
: "Brother, why did you let him go like this? This kid is too presumptuous. He dares to talk to us with such an attitude. When the queen comes back, we must file a complaint."
"Yes, brother, we have to get rid of whatever Yoshinaga left outside, otherwise our honor will be stained. Will this still make us embarrassed to see others?"
The Great Elder waved his hand and said: "Why are you fighting with him? Old 2, go find the Octopus Clan and ask them to help the Shark Clan. After the Swordfish Clan, they are our main clan."
The second elder quickly agreed to this matter. When the other elders heard this, they all exhaled. They seemed to be very satisfied with this handling of the matter. They were even looking forward to the pleasure of killing Miao Xiaojian in their hearts.
…
…
After Lai Yi grew out of the elder's hall, he returned to his own hall.
He immediately sent people down to check the traces of Lai Qiuqun, and also sent trusted people to follow the elders who came out of the Elder Hall. The next day, there was information. When Lai Yichang heard this, he sneered:
"These elders are really old. A hundred years ago, you could find the shark clan, but now you are looking for the octopus clan. Do you think you will succeed if you use the same move twice? Will I still let you go on like this?"
Lai Yichang paused for a moment, then looked in one direction and whispered to himself: "Auntie, thank you for giving me this opportunity."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and seemed to have made a lot of determination.
…………
Shark Castle, outside the city gate.
The patrolling sharks were chasing away a few people from the Bright Sword Legion who came here to harass. One shark asked another shark: "It's strange, why are the Bright Sword Legion people coming so often today?"
"This is the eleventh time. We are all tired. Why aren't they tired?" Another shark who was listening also complained.
"This group of bastards should really be damned. The leisurely life we had before is gone. Now we guard the city gate every day and can't go anywhere. I'm really angry."
"Next time I catch this group of trash fish, I will definitely kill them. Now even if we are not on duty, we will not dare to go out of Shark City. Hey, the good old days... Hey, did you hear anything?
?" The shark was suddenly startled and asked the shark next to him strangely.
"What's the sound? Hey, there seems to be one?"
…
Soon, the sharks in Shark Castle were shocked. All the people named Mo, the king of their shark clan, were sick. No, it should be that except one person, everyone else was poisoned.
Those royal figures who usually held great power all died after being poisoned, while others just lay on the bed unable to get up.
And the only one who was not poisoned, fell down, or died was Mo Huanhuan
The sharks didn't think much about this king-type figure that they had only heard of before, thinking that he was just a fluke.
Now they have to rescue important people and have no intention of paying attention to her.
But just when they were busy rescuing people, the Bright Sword Legion came again, and this time it was more violent than before, making the city that was already weak due to rescuing people almost unable to hold on.
At this time, the Shark Castle was in chaos. Without the command of the royal general, all the sharks did not know what to do??
At this time, Mo Huanhuan stood up and began to order the sharks below. No one listened at first, but a few sharks stood beside her and immediately killed those who were disobedient.
Mo Huanhuan is a member of the royal family, and she used force to suppress her, so many people soon obeyed her orders.
