Chapter VIII: Cooperation (II)

However, although Yingzheng has proven that they are not demons, they have more or less a little bit of Simon's trust. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 However, Simon didn't let his guard down much.

He knew that the purpose of his coming here was nothing more than two.

One is to find out the origin of this huge fleet, and at the same time, to figure out why only the Heavenly Master Hall knows the language, and the Qin people in front of him can also do it.

And the other, naturally, on the basis of completing the first one, seeks whether it can reach a certain cooperation with Yingzheng. Resist pressure from the church.

Now, all Simon can be sure of is that the Qin people in front of him are not in a group with the demons.

However, the mountains of fleets outside, covering the sky and the sun, in the face of such a powerful force, will inevitably make people feel uneasy.

"In that case, why did Your Majesty come from the abyss among the demons? And, as far as I know, I'm afraid there is no one in the whole world who looks like you, Your Majesty. ”

This time, Simon didn't ask Chen Yu, but directly bowed to Ying Zheng and asked.

Although Simon's attitude, in the eyes of the rest of the civil and military ministers, was a bit rude, Yingzheng waved his hand indifferently.

"What the Celestial Master said is good. We should not be people of this world. Ying Zheng sighed lightly, and there seemed to be a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Simon's heart couldn't help but move, and he saluted again, saying, "Oh? Please make it clear to Your Majesty! ”

"My hometown, which is similar to that of the Heavenly Master, is also suffering from demons. In order to resist the demons, many sages had to fight bloody battles. It was only in these millennia that the power of demons began to dwindle.

In order to prevent future troubles, and also to find out the true strength of the demons, and why the power of the demons has been weakening for thousands of years. I built more than 100 warships and went on an expedition to the Demon Realm.

However, unexpectedly, the army did not encounter many demons in the demon world, but they lost their way. It wasn't until more than a month ago that this exit was found. I just didn't think ......"

Ying Zheng used a helpless tone to talk nonsense to Simon.

It's just that Yingzheng's words are reasonable and well-founded, and for a while, Simon can't tell whether it's true or false. Coupled with the corpse of the demon before, Simon had already thought in a directional direction from the beginning, thinking that they were indeed here to kill demons.

Simon may not have believed all of Yingzheng's words, but he still believed seven or eight points.

After a moment's hesitation, Simon asked again, "In that case, why didn't Your Majesty return as soon as possible, but instead captured the Holy Maiden of our Heavenly Master Temple?" ”

"Homesickness? Why don't I want to? However, the army has been in the demon realm for several years. The supply of materials in the army has long been exhausted, so how easy is it to talk about? ”

Ying Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, looking more and more helpless. And in this helplessness, there is also a trace of homesickness in it.

"That's right...... Simon said with a slight bowing of his head and the same sigh.

However, Simon, who lowered his head, was not really rushing to grieve for Yingzheng, just to cover up a glimmer of light in his eyes.

From Yingzheng's tone, it is not difficult for Simon to hear a trace of helplessness and homecoming.

Although Simon didn't know how true or false this relationship was, it should be true in Simon's opinion that their army was running out of supplies.

Such a huge army, not to mention the huge consumption of those battleships themselves. Just the soldiers eating the horses is an astronomical amount.

Previously, when Simon got on board, he had already carefully examined the entire structure of the battleship.

On top of the entire battleship, the number of people is not too many. It is estimated that there are only two or three thousand people.

But out of the living range of these two or three thousand people. There were only a handful of places on the warships that could store materials such as food and fresh water.

Even if you can store as much as you want, after a few years of consumption, it should be about the same.

Lack of food, this is Simon's first concept of the Qin army.

Since the Qin army has needs, then they also have room for cooperation with the Qin army.

Thinking of this, Simon no longer hesitated, and took the initiative to say: "I can understand Your Majesty's homecoming, before coming here, the Great Heavenly Master had already instructed me. If you can, it will be convenient for Your Majesty! ”

"Oh? Is what the Celestial Master said true? Ying Zheng's eyes showed a hint of surprise. The sitting body couldn't help but lean forward slightly.

"Naturally!" Simon looked up again and said categorically.

"Hahaha!"

Ying Zheng laughed, walked up to Simon, patted him on the shoulder and said, "If it is really possible, I will definitely not forget your friendship!" ”

"Your Majesty is serious......" Simon also smiled, but in his heart he didn't think so.

What's the use of remembering camaraderie? For those of them who have been in high positions for a long time, the so-called friendship is the most worthless. The only thing that can impress them is interests.

"However, I see that His Majesty's army has at least hundreds of thousands of people, and with such a huge population, it is not easy for our Heavenly Master Hall to be able to prepare enough materials to last for several years."

Simon's face showed a look of embarrassment.

"Don't worry, I've been working hard in the Demon Realm all these years, and although I haven't gained much, I still have some small things!"

Ying Zheng said, clapping his hands. Soon, a soldier, armed with a slender sword, walked up.

Ying Zheng picked up the sword, glanced at it, and said, "This is what I snatched from a demon. It's a divine weapon, and if it weren't for my Great Qin's style, I wouldn't trade it. ”

"This, this is ......"

Simon wanted to say something, but he stopped abruptly. After looking at it carefully, he couldn't help but praise: "This is indeed a good sword!" ”

"I still have a lot of such things. With careful calculation, it should be enough to exchange for those substances! Ying Zheng waved his hand and gestured.

"This ......," Simon was momentarily speechless.

A sword, of course, is a good sword. Moreover, from the inscription on the sword, he knew that this sword had a lot of fame. If it is really exchanged, it can indeed be exchanged for a lot of wealth.

However, the sword is good, and so is wealth. But for a top-notch force like the Heavenly Master Palace, although this kind of wealth is worth tempting, it is only tempting.

Simon hasn't forgotten that the purpose of his coming here is not really to make a deal with Yingzheng. Instead, he wanted to use the power of Yingzheng or the army of the Qin State to weaken or even eliminate the church in one fell swoop.

"The sword is good, but the supplies for hundreds of thousands of years are not a trivial matter after all, I still need to discuss with the Great Heavenly Master!" Simon reluctantly returned the sword and said.

"That's it......" Ying Zheng looked a little lost, and then waved his hand and said, "You go, as for this sword, it will be regarded as my greeting gift." ”

Simon's face was happy, and he just wanted to thank him, but he was interrupted by Yingzheng again.

"However, I would like to remind you that my patience is limited. If your Heavenly Master Hall can't decide as soon as possible, we can only find our own way! ”

Simon was stunned, then his face sank, and he said, "Understood!" ”

After saying that, Simon no longer hesitated, and after a little more polite words, he left.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the first step has been completed!" Looking at Simon who was leaving, Chen Yu said with a chuckle.

The smile on Ying Zheng's face has disappeared, replaced by a hint of victory.
