Chapter Seventy-Five: A War Caused by a Velvet Hat (Part 2)
On the border of the Qiyun Kingdom, there is a river, this river is not wide, and the widest part of the river is only more than a hundred meters.
This not too wide river meanders for more than a thousand miles, and this river is the dividing line between the Qiyun Kingdom and the Magnolia Kingdom, although there has always been a small friction between the two kingdoms, but there has been no large-scale war for more than a hundred years.
On this day, a soldier of the Qiyun Kingdom was washing by the river, and he saw a hat floating on the river from a distance.
This hat is very beautiful, with animal skin as the lining and velvet as the face, which is perfect for keeping out the cold in the harsh winter.
"Who threw such a beautiful hat into the river?"
Without hesitation, the soldier salvaged the hat from the river and slowly dried it with a flame card.
Finding a shelter from the wind by the river, the temperature of the flame card slowly baked the icy water on the hat.
It took more than 20 minutes for the soaked velvet hat to be dried, and the dried hat refracted colorful light in the sun, looking even more magnificent.
"Yes, yes, this hat is worth at least a thousand star dollars, I don't know which brainless person threw it into the river. ”
The soldier was just about to put his hat on when he heard a shout.
"Stop, give me back my hat!"
The scolding came from across the river, and it was also a soldier, but this soldier was from the Magnolia Kingdom on the other side.
"Your hat, what I picked up in the river is mine!" the soldier felt that the fire was too big, and he finally dried it, and this man said that it was his hat, and this was not to find fault.
"Yours of the one you picked up in the river?"
"Yes! It's mine!"
The soldiers of the Magnolia Kingdom were also angry, this hat was used by him to keep out the cold, although it was not expensive, but it was also given to him by his family, which was of great significance.
The soldiers of the Magnolia Kingdom jumped into the river with a "poof".
"I'm in the river now, you have the ability to pick me up!"
"You're sick in the head! "The soldiers of the Qiyun Kingdom looked at their opponents in the river like fools.
"Didn't you say that the one who picked up in the river was yours!"
"It's mine, you really don't know whether to live or die, okay, I'll get you up now!" The soldier of the Qiyun Kingdom thought about it for a while and felt that it was feasible.
Anyway, there has been friction between the two sides, he really dragged the other party over, and then gave the other party a charge of crossing the border without permission, and the Magnolia Kingdom couldn't say anything.
Then the soldiers of this Qiyun Kingdom began to drag the enemy in the river, and the soldiers of the Magnolia Kingdom did not resist in the process.
The enemy did not struggle, and was smoothly dragged ashore, and the soldiers of the Qiyun Kingdom sneered and looked at the enemy: "Now you can go to die!
The soldiers of the Qiyun Kingdom activated a battle card, and a slender flame passed through the hearts of the soldiers of the Magnolia Kingdom.
From beginning to end, the soldier of the Magnolia Kingdom did not resist, and even went to his death with great calmness.
The soldier of the Qiyun Kingdom always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything wrong, so he happily put on his hat and went back to the barracks.
Half an hour later, the army of the Magnolia Kingdom overwhelmed the border.
"Listen to your soldiers, everything in this river belongs to your Qiyun Kingdom?"
This was Shen Luo's first sentence.
Nie Ling, the legion commander of the Qiyun Kingdom, was as steady as Mount Tai: "When did our soldiers say such things?"
This river is the border between the two countries, to be precise, it does not belong to either side, and it may be more accurate to divide it by one person and a half.
Shen Luo clapped his hands, and the staff officer behind him activated a photocopy card, which recorded the picture of two soldiers fighting for hats.
As the picture progressed, Nie Ling's face became more and more ugly.
"Your Qiyun Kingdom is really getting more and more arrogant, my soldier just wants to get back a hat, but your soldier killed him, if this continues, I'm afraid that tomorrow you will be overwhelmed by the army and directly destroy our Magnolia Kingdom!"
Nie Ling's face twitched, who is the army pressing the realm now!
"It's a strange thing, and I think it needs to be investigated again. Nie Ling, who knew that he was wrong, wanted to save the situation.
"Investigation? Hmph! My soldiers died in vain? Losing a hat is small, losing the face of the country is big, today you dare to say that this river is yours, tomorrow you dare to annex one of our cities, and the day after tomorrow you dare to send troops to the entire territory of the Magnolia Kingdom, right?"
Shen Luo was very angry, his subordinates died like this, and he also lost the face of the Magnolia Kingdom, how could this be good?
Nie Ling was also very angry, and now it was obviously the army of the Magnolia Kingdom that was pressing the realm, and he actually bit them in turn.
"Shen Luo, this matter is so strange, it still needs to be carefully considered, if you fight, I will accompany Nie Ling, anyway, it will not be good for you and me to really start a war!"
When this sentence is uttered, it is tantamount to declaring the breakdown of the negotiations.
The more Nie Ling thought about it, the more wrong it became.
To be able to become a soldier of the kingdom, at least a fifth-level Kaxiu, it is not normal for a fifth-level Kaxiu's hat to fall into the river, and what is even more abnormal is that this soldier has not been salvaged on the spot.
The series of things that followed were so unusual that it was a conspiracy for the soldier to jump directly into the river and be generous.
Nie Ling reacted completely, this matter is a big hole!
If it was really just an accident, how could you prepare a photocopy card in advance to record it?
"Our Magnolia Kingdom has always valued peace, even if we see our brother being taken away by you, we only keep evidence on the other side, you are good, and now you don't know how to regret and force each other, I really think that our Yulan Kingdom will not dare to go to war!"
Nie Ling rolled his eyes wildly, what do you mean by wanting to be a bandit and hang a good citizen brand for yourself? That's it!
"Say, how do you want to solve this matter?" Nie Ling still compromised, he thought he was at a loss.
"Simple, first: my soldier is a sixth-level Kaxiu, and to cultivate a sixth-level Kaxiu, it takes at least 100 million star dollars, plus his hat, you need to pay us one billion star dollars. ”
"Second, you insulted my Yulan Kingdom in a vain attempt to occupy this river, as a price you need to cede the six hundred miles of territory bounded by the border line, rest assured, we only need thirty years of use rights, and after thirty years, these six hundred miles of territory will be returned!"
Nie Ling almost couldn't help but scold directly.
The lion didn't dare to open it like that!
He admitted that a soldier compensated 100 million yuan, after all, it was a human life, but a broken hat cost 900 million? Isn't this an overt blackmail?
If he can accept this one, but the second compensation is pure nonsense, and the retreat from the border line is 600 miles, which is 150,000 square kilometers based on the width of the border between the two countries of 1,000 miles.
150,000 square kilometers, one-fiftieth of the territory of the Qiyun Kingdom, how can it be said that it will be granted? The argument that the right to use it for 30 years is pure nonsense.
"Impossible! Shen Luo, don't push people too much!"
Nie Ling still thinks that Shen Luo wants to take the opportunity to occupy their 150,000 square kilometers of land, but he doesn't know how big Shen Luo's ambitions are.
If Nie Ling really agreed, Shen Luo would really be difficult to do, but Shen Luo knew that it was impossible for Nie Ling to agree.
"In that case, let's go to war!"
