Bai Yu rushed back to the imperial city before dark.

Before entering the East Palace, the palace steward waiting at the door had already hurriedly greeted him.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty has been waiting for you in the study for a long time. ”

"Father Emperor has been waiting for me?" Bai Bai Yu chuckled in his heart, his first reaction as a thief was that his father already knew what he had done, or he already knew the news that the seventh brother was still alive.

Thinking about it dispelled the thought again.

This incident has just happened, not to mention that Li Shuo has already killed everyone in the imperial city who knows about it, it is impossible for his father to know about it so quickly.

"Lead the way. ”

Bai Bai Yu came to the study with the steward.

Bai Ling's father, the supreme ruler of the Starlight Dynasty, Bai Long, was pacing in his study, his eyes fixed on a map on the table.

"Father, the child is too late. ”

"Hmm. ”

Bai Tianlong's eyes were half lowered, and a pair of deep eyes could only see half of it, and with his unsmiling face, it was impossible to see any thoughts from his face.

"What is the matter with my father looking for his sons late at night?"

"Where did you go so late?"

"I heard that it hasn't been peaceful lately, so I walked around the city and came back a little late. ”

"Did you find anything out of the ordinary?"

"There is nothing abnormal in the Imperial City, but there is a faint concern among the people. ”

"Worried about what?"

"Fear that the Terrans and the other three major races may go to war. ”

Daytime Dragon pointed to the map on the table.

"There is indeed a possibility of war, and it seems that the tension from the front has been felt by the people," he said. ”

"Actually, father, you don't have to worry, the peace between the four major races has lasted for three thousand five hundred years, although there will be some small frictions on the border every few years, but on the whole, the forces of the four sides are balanced, I think the demon race, the ghost race, and the beast race dare not destroy the current peaceful status quo, which is not good for them. Bai Baiyu said, slightly relieved.

"Is 3,500 years a long time?" the dragon's voice was like a pool of stagnant water, so calm that it was suffocating.

"Although three thousand five hundred years is not a long time in the entire history of the Star God Continent, compared to the history of peace between the four major races, three thousand five hundred years is already the longest peaceful and prosperous era that has been maintained so far. ”

"So how long do you think this situation can last?"

"This ......"

"In recent years, there have been more and more cases of the ghost clan, the demon clan, and the orcs have been stirring up trouble on my border, and a few months ago, the orcs launched a small-scale war on my border, and these tentative moves are a precursor. Half a month ago, the high-level leaders of the ghost clan and the demon clan met, and then a small group of people from the demon clan and the demon clan on my border provoked, and this matter was even more extraordinary. ”

"What does Father mean that the other three races have the intention of uniting against our human race?"

"It is not yet known whether all the three of them will unite, but the ghost clan and the demon clan are definitely trying to do this, and the beast clan should just not be able to hold back, overall, after so long of peace, all forces are ready to move. ”

"What are the Emperor's plans?"

Long Gu said to him left and right during the day, "There have been three world wars in the history of the Star God Continent, the first war spirit race has disappeared since then, the second war demon race has disappeared since then, and the third war mad race has disappeared since then, do you think if there is a fourth world war, which race will disappear?"

"This ......"

Bai Bai Yu was in a dilemma and was thinking about how to answer this question, and Bai Bai Long himself said it first.

"The union of the ghost clan and the demon clan is already a sure thing, but all the alliances are for war, there is no doubt about this, maybe it is to unite to destroy the beasts, or maybe it is to unite to destroy the human race, and there is one between the two of us that is not destroyed, which proves that their union has achieved miraculous results, then in the fourth world war, there will be two races that will disappear from this. ”

After a pause, he glanced at him and continued: "If the ghost clan and the demon clan unite and then carry out the union of the third race, then the remaining race will inevitably encounter the crisis of annihilation, at present, neither the ghost clan nor the demon clan have come to me to mention this plan, no one dares to guarantee that they will not go to the beast clan to talk about the alliance, in order to avoid this worst possibility, there is only one way in front of us." ”

"Father means that we must form an alliance with the Beast Clan before the Ghost Clan and the Demon Clan launch a full-scale attack on the Human Race or the Beast Clan, or before the two Clans unite with the Beast Clan?"

"I need to be alone. ”

Bai Bai Yu finally knew what his father had been waiting for him to do at night.

This made him cry bitter in his heart.

If you go out to do this, it means that there is no one inside the imperial city to defend against the day!

This is the last line of defense.

"You have not made any achievements since you were canonized, which is quite unfavorable for you to inherit the orthodox position in the future, I want to give you this opportunity, if you can successfully negotiate the alliance, the two sides will be evenly matched, and the peace between the four races will continue to be maintained for hundreds or even thousands of years, and if you retreat, the two sides will go to war, and the human race and the beast race will be united in advance, and you will be fully prepared to prevent strong enemies. Bai Bai Long said.

"Father, the son has no negotiation experience, and the beast clan is perverse and reckless, the son is not worried about the danger, but afraid of misleading the father's affairs. He still chose to give up the credit, although it was indeed an opportunity to make a meritorious service.

As far as he is concerned, even if there is a war, it will be a matter of a few years or even a dozen or even decades later, and he has the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and he is not in a hurry.

But Bai Ling's crisis is imminent.

Once he returns to the Imperial City to expose what he has done, he may not be able to sit firmly in the position of the prince, so what is the use of more credit!?

He had to sit in the Imperial City and make sure that Ling died during the day before he could do other things with complete peace of mind.

During the day, the dragon was still pacing in the study, and did not speak for a while.

"Father, the son has disappointed you, but the matter is big, the son does not dare to ignore the overall situation for the sake of merit, in case the son of the minister collapses may increase the difficulty of the follow-up negotiations, the son still hopes that the father can entrust this important task to those who have rich experience or often deal with the beast clan, to ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”

"It's mature to have such considerations. ”

The dragon stopped pacing and sat down in his chair.

"It's not early, let's go back and rest. ”

"My father also rested early, and my son retired first. ”

Bai Baiyu withdrew from the study and breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.

Every time I stay alone with my father, I am always overwhelmed by the invisible momentum on his body.

In the study,

Bai Tianlong continued to look at the map in front of him, shaking his head, and the voice and smile of his youngest son appeared in his heart.

If he is here, he will be able to relieve his worries.

But God will make people.
