Chapter 198: Requests and Misunderstandings
After the three of them took their seats, Zhang Jin took the initiative to ask, "Princess Anne, you only arrived in the City of Fertility today, right?"
"Not bad. The mermaid princess said, "You're right ......."
Zhang Jin interrupted the mermaid princess's words and said with a smile: "You have just arrived in the city of abundance, and there must be no place to stay for the time being, so it is better to come to my cave to live." I have a dozen or twenty empty stone rooms here, and I've been renting them. You're my friend, so you can get a little bit cheaper. ”
If it was someone else, he could do it slowly, but for the mermaid princess, he had to get straight to the point, let the other party know his intentions from the beginning, and then have enough time to consider whether to rent his cave mansion or not.
“……”
The mermaid princess was completely stunned, and she didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Her Royal Highness the princess actually asked her if she wanted to rent a house to live in? Was it because she didn't look at the yellow calendar when she went out today, or did she have a strange dream and didn't wake up yet?
Ning Yu was also speechless to the extreme, Zhang Jin, Zhang Jin, can you be serious? You may not be too disrespectful to Her Royal Highness the Princess, right?
After a while, the mermaid princess came back to her senses and barely showed some smiles: "Venerable Zhang Jin, you are so humorous. ”
"No, no, I'm down to business. Zhang Jin smiled and waved his hand, "I don't believe you ask Ning Yu, she is the tenant I rented." ”
The mermaid princess turned her eyes to Ning Yu in surprise, and Ning Yu smiled helplessly: "I did pay him three months' rent, a total of thirty high-grade Haiyuan stones." ”
"......" the mermaid princess was speechless again.
After a while, she reacted and said to Zhang Jin: "Thank you for your kindness, I will consider it." ”
"You're welcome, go back and think about it. Zhang Jin pretended not to understand the meaning of the mermaid princess's refusal.
The mermaid was so embarrassed that she changed the topic and said, "The main reason for this visit is to express gratitude. First, thank you for saving my future prime minister, Ning Yu. Second, thank you for ordering countless sea creatures to defeat the rebellious Black Armor Legion at this critical juncture. The defeat of the Black Legion allowed the White Legion to be preserved and thwarted by the rebellious offensive. ”
After speaking, she got up and bowed solemnly to Zhang Jin.
Zhang Jin smiled and waved his hand, "Princess Anne, you don't have to thank me. Nothing I do is for you. Assisting the White Armor Legion in defeating the Black Armor Legion was entirely due to Ning Yu's request to me. So, you really don't have to thank me. ”
"Besides, you don't have to give me any more rewards. If you really want to give it to you, give it to Ning Yu. Relatively speaking, she is the real hero. If she hadn't begged me, I wouldn't have done it. ”
is so straightforward and naked, completely out of the script she prepared, the mermaid princess is a little sluggish again.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough, and immediately came back to her senses, still thanking: "Even so, the kingdom still gets your help, and this palace is still the beneficiary, so I feel like I want to thank you." Of course, as you said, this palace will definitely reward Ning Yu heavily. ”
At the end, she turned to Ning Yu and thanked her, "Ning Yu, thank you." ”
"Your Highness, this is what I should do. Ning Yu hurriedly stood up and saluted deeply.
Her pretty face was full of happiness, and her heart was as sweet as honey, and she really wanted to hand over her body to Zhang Jin as soon as possible.
Sitting down again, the mermaid princess spoke: "Rebel and make trouble, kill my father, and kill the people of all tribes......"
Zhang Jin allowed himself to listen patiently, not interrupting the mermaid princess's impassioned speech, waiting for the mermaid princess's final request.
Sure enough, in the end, the mermaid asked Zhang Jin to participate in the war and help her recover the country.
"Princess Anne, I sympathize with you and your country, but I am not from the Kingdom of Antlon. Zhang Jin said calmly, "I have no reason or need to participate in this battlefield. ”
"I know you're not from the Antren Kingdom, but you live in this ocean, can you bear to watch life go to ruin?" asked the mermaid princess unwillingly.
Zhang Jin couldn't help but smile lightly and said, "Princess Anne, I recognize you as a good friend, so please don't take me for a fool." Treat good friends and speak sincerely. For example, Ning Yu is very sincere, and I am happy to help her. ”
"Brother Jin-" Ning Yu couldn't help but call Zhang Jin, asking him to give some face to the mermaid princess for her sake.
The mermaid princess's pretty face turned a little red, and she was indeed a little unable to get off the stage, but she didn't have a seizure, and quickly admitted her mistake and said, "I'm sorry, Venerable Zhang Jin, Anne was wrong." ”
"You're welcome, we just met and didn't know each other very well, so there must be some differences. Zhang Jin smiled generously, "There is one to say, and there is two to say, and there is no guilt." ”
As for the idea of the mermaid princess, he had expected it for a long time.
In fact, he also knew that many people in the Kingdom of Antren were pinning their hopes on him Zhang Jin to participate in this war.
"Thank you. The mermaid princess couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
Then, she took a deep breath, left her seat, and pleaded to Zhang Jin, "Venerable Zhang Jin, Anne asks you to help me in my personal name, okay?"
"Okay!" Zhang Jin smiled, "However, the help is mutual, I also have a headache now, there are so many empty stone rooms in my cave mansion waiting to be rented, you just happened to have no place to settle in the city of plenty, so you can rent me a few stone rooms, right?"
The day he settled in the City of Plenty, he knew he couldn't avoid the war, because he expected that he would be tasked with forcibly renting a mermaid princess.
Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for the dignified mermaid princess and the soon-to-be-enthroned queen to rent his cave mansion, so the only way is to make a big deal, and he will help the mermaid princess quell the rebellion and restore the country.
I saw that the mermaid princess had a look of humiliation on her face, thinking that Zhang Jin was blackmailing her with peace and chaos to get her.
"Brother Jin-" Ning Yu's face showed some disappointment, not because Zhang Jin refused to help the mermaid princess quell the chaos, but because Zhang Jin actually wanted to get the mermaid princess with this.
Obviously, she and he have always been with you and me, and even the personal maid ring was given to him to sleep.
Zhang Jin turned his face to Ning Yu and smiled: "Ning Yu, you have to believe me, I'm not so dirty." ”
He was not stupid and guessed the thoughts of Ning Yu and the mermaid princess.
"Hmm!" Ning Yu nodded vigorously, choosing to believe Zhang Jin.
The mermaid princess wants to leave in anger, but she can't, she must avenge her father, she must calm the civil strife and restore the country!
Therefore, she hid a pair of jade hands in her long sleeves and clenched her fists, trying her best to suppress the desire to bend in her chest.
"Venerable Zhang Jin, I will consider it. The mermaid princess said with a stiff smile.
Zhang Jin knew that not being able to misunderstand could not be explained clearly in words, so he smiled and nodded absently.
The mermaid then explained the third purpose of her visit: "This palace wants to buy you a batch of divine weapons, I don't know if it's possible?"
"Of course, I still have some weapons. Zhang Jin said with a smile and immediately took out a trident.
This trident is one size smaller than his Neptune trident, which he specially requested when he placed an order in the stainless steel foundry, for the purpose of either selling or giving it to the mermaid princess in front of him.
"For you," he handed it to him, "be a gift between good friends." ”
The cost of this trident is less than a thousand yuan, and it is not even a dime a dozen for him, so he is not distressed at all when he gives it away.
However, in the eyes of the mermaid princess, she couldn't help but be moved.
This trident is very suitable for her, and she already knows that the weapon Zhang Jin shot can be called a divine weapon, and at least twenty or thirty thousand divine weapons worth of high-grade Haiyuan stones were directly given to her!
Twenty or thirty thousand top-grade Haiyuan stones, even if they were in the palace before, were a lot of money for her.
What's more, she is very poor now.
