"No, that's too dangerous!"

Yan Ya and Chen Duyun rarely spoke in unison.

The seven true bodies that Xinlan divided from all have a certain degree of independence, even if they enter the path of the Sage alone or go to the far west, they can be self-sufficient, the only drawback is that they cannot connect to other individuals. Therefore, once this Xinlan goes this time, even if she succeeds, it will take a lot of effort to come back.

And with the word "even", it means that the journey is extremely dangerous. Xinlan is certainly an experienced person, but she is no longer a sword saint with outstanding combat power, before she really became a saint, she met a truly powerful magician, and the means of over-healing did not work at all, how could the two of them let her go into danger again.

"Even if I am gone, the real me still exists, and of course there is a possibility that my true body will be restored...... But that's not the point. Seeing that the two of them still wanted to refute, Xinlan said categorically, "I let go of the three criminals out of personal feelings, if I just go back and do nothing, I'm afraid I will be laughed at by the world." ”

The two of them heard the laughter immediately, but it was Xinlan's self-deprecation, and of course she didn't care about the shame of everyone in the world, because she had now decided to act before others laughed at her, and she was strict with herself before asking others.

"Moreover, I never want to give up on diplomacy to solve problems. ”

This Xinlan sincerely believes that most people want peace, even if it is a keyboard warrior who only shouts on the Internet and dares to cross the border and beat the enemy back, he must think that peace is the best in his heart, and again, he thinks that the dead soldier will not die himself, or die others without killing himself...... Even for those who have such shameless thoughts, Xinlan wants to bring peace to them.

The ignorance of the people is a mistake, but not a sin, which stems from the lack of spiritual civilization and construction and education, and it is a situation that can be slowly changed, and when the people are confused and do not know what is right, the imperial court should stand up and lead them to the right path by example.

I've made up my mind—Xinlan almost didn't have these words written on her face. Intimidated by her action and courage, the two finally failed to keep her. Yan Ya's proposal to go with her was also immediately denied, because Xinlan saw that she actually wanted to stay in Da Song more in her heart, and-

"Da Song needs you more than protecting me. ”

As for Chen Duyun, after thinking about it for a long time, he could only squeeze out such a barren word as "take care", but Xinlan did not forget to shush him and ask him for warmth, and gave Chen Duyun a blessing hand knife.

It's just that this series of expressions of concern finally made Chen Duyun sober up a little and rekindled his unwillingness.

Yes, unwillingly, unwilling to be in a situation where you are still worried.

"What can I do for her?"

It's a pity that Chen Duyun couldn't find the answer, so he chose to think in the direction of Xinlan.

"Do people really want peace?"

Hearing Chen Duyun's question, Xinlan decided to answer seriously.

"Yes, I am sure of that, but the situation does not allow everyone to choose peace, and the reason why I insist on diplomacy is to be able to change the situation by means of 'peace'. ”

Join forces to win over the enemy country as a friend, impress neutral countries with interests, make it impossible for the enemy to do anything to themselves through trade agreements, unite with neighboring countries to attack countries with long borders and dare not do it easily, or let the allies do it on their behalf, and put psychological pressure on the enemy country...... These are not glamorous acts in the first place, but sometimes more dirty means are needed to achieve the end, so much so that Xinlan deliberately changed her tone when she mentioned the word "peace".

But Chen Duyun didn't believe that Xinlan would do the kind of behavior that touched the bottom line like murder and arson, as for fraud and coercion...... Xinlan was already ready to be hated.

As long as the ultimate goal of "peace" can be achieved.

"Actually, there are people over there who think so, right?"

"There must be, but it's a pity that the power of the stars limits people's autonomy, not to mention that they are innately loyal to Gumeng and their country...... It will take a year or two to change their mindset, to say the least, but by then it will be too late. ”

"You mean, there is a way around those limitations?" Chen Duyun was a little surprised.

"Well, that force began to weaken after leaving the territory of Gumeng, but it has always been a small number of people who have entered the Great Song Dynasty and cannot be easily detected, and after the official war, those blockades will be broken little by little, but ......"

Xinlan didn't say anything, but Chen Duyun knew what she was going to say next, and everyone in the Great Song Dynasty knew it, because the Great Song Dynasty couldn't resist at all, and after losing a large piece of land, the victor wouldn't sit down and negotiate with them at all.

And the question of loyalty to the country...... The main problem here is that they do not know enough about the intelligence of the ancient and Mongolian countries, if they can know the details of the other side, they may not be able to take advantage of the discord between the ancient and Mongolian vassal states to create a good opportunity, even if it is not based on the premise of diplomacy, understanding the enemy can make it easier for them to defeat the other side.

"I'll try to gather intelligence!" Yan Ya swore.

"I ...... Also. Chen Duyun hesitated for a moment and replied, because even he was able to collect some of the Gumeng intelligence.

"Then please. ”

Xinlan obviously handed all this over to everyone in the Great Song Dynasty, and both of them nodded in understanding.

Then there was a slightly longer waiting time, and Xinlan's body, which had been silently meditating enough in her heart, suddenly became illusory and transparent, and disappeared in front of them in the blink of an eye.

"Go back. Yan Ya said immediately, obviously eager to prepare for intelligence gathering.

For some reason, the moment she stepped on the back of the summoning bird, Chen Duyun recalled the past.

I remembered what happened when I heard rumors and misunderstood Xinlan.

It would be great if just gathering intelligence could solve everything...... Unfortunately, not.

Would it be better if we could find a spy or a traitor for questioning...... Haha, but they can't even resist Gu Meng.

However, there must be people who don't want war or internal contradictions, but this kind of person can't go deep into Gumeng-

"Your breath is out of order. Yan Ya glanced at him.

"It's nothing, it's just a whim." Chen Duyun smiled lightly.

……

This incident of Gu Meng's secret agent ended like this, of course, across the country, Xiao Jianlong and the three were condemned by the people, and Gu Meng also held talks with the Great Song Dynasty for the first time.

Of course, it could not be a truce.

"We guarantee that the same events will not happen before the official start of the war. ”

The people of the Great Song Dynasty were even more angry when they heard the news, but they were helpless, and what they didn't know was that there was only one envoy from Gumeng at that time, and after seeing the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, he left this sentence and left, and he didn't know how to look at it, as if that explanation was a great gift.

However, they had to endure it because they needed more time.

I have to say that this incident has played a positive role in many places: for example, the people have invested more enthusiasm to prepare for the war, the battle with Xiao Jinlong and the three of them has taught the military a lot of experience, and the Taiyuan Aerospace Magic Research Institute has taken the initiative to relocate.

Let's not talk about the first two situations, the decision of the institute is all because Li Qingzhao went back and said this:

"I can't protect the institute under the army of Gumon. ”

Some opposition groups have questioned the Institute's actions, which have caused many people to fear war, but in any case, by the time March approaches, the most important part of the Institute's data has been moved, and a third of its facilities have been relocated.

However, the diehards still existed after all, and a slightly rudimentary space orbit was also built at the same time, and it was clear that they intended to carry out test flights in defiance of the dangers of war.

With the arrival of April, whether people like it or not, the smell of war has become more and more intense, at least on the southwestern border, enemy troops can already be seen camping, and the man-made dust and smog in the north are more intense than in previous years......

The only thing that can't be predicted is which will fire the first shot.
