Xiu Zhe smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, the minister is here for one thing this time: the Four Nations Alliance. ”

"Hmm..."Kayi's slightly tired eyes flashed a gleam, and the fingers that lay flat on the armrests of the dragon chair slowly lifted and tapped gently, neither directly refusing nor agreeing.

After waiting for a while, the atmosphere had begun to be a little dull before Kay spoke: "The ambitions of the wolf sons of the Delos Empire are well known to passers-by, and they seem to be secretly doing something, but the 'spear' they secretly created is not a false ancestor. ”

When Xiu Zhe heard this, he knew that Kay just wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

He has always been able to speak well, but this time he couldn't find Kayi's pain points to lobby, the Void Ancestor occupies countless natural dangers, and at the same time, the military strength is strong, and the people are all capable of martial arts, not to mention that their land is fertile and rich, and there are even many places that have not been developed.

Persuade the Void Ancestor Alliance? It's like trying to persuade Roger, a wealthy businessman, to join him in robbing the treasury of the Duchy of Belmar, which is a joke.

"It seems that Elder Xiu also understands that I have signed an alliance agreement to fight against the Delos Empire with you, and there is nothing to be gained from it, even if Meiya and Skadi promise to divide up a large territory to me after the subversion of Delos, it will be useless to me."

As he spoke, Kay picked up the tea that the eunuch had just cooked next to the dragon chair, took a sip and continued, "Therefore, if Elder Xiu can't say the conditions that can make my heart move, I'm afraid I won't be able to sign the Four-Nation Alliance Agreement according to Elder Xiu's wishes. ”

Kayi's words were so polite that Xiu Zhe couldn't help frowning slightly, what did this Void Ancestor Emperor want to do?

Bending down and Xiu Zhe said respectfully: "Your Majesty, even if you let the most powerful debater in the world come, you can't find a reason to move you, if you have something to say, it's better to say it directly, why tease the kid like this?" ”

Kayi laughed and shook the golden wide sleeve on his arm and said, "I heard that Elder Xiu is very good at how to behave in the world, and he persuaded Mei Ya and Ai Lijie to sign the alliance agreement with a smile, but now I don't know what I mean?" ”

After a pause, Kayi's upper body leaned forward slightly, looked directly into Xiu Zhe's eyes, and asked with a smile, "Does Elder Xiu really not know or pretend not to know?" ”

Xiu Zhe had already invoked Pu Ermon's ability to see through people's minds when he couldn't see through what Kay wanted to express, and the only condition that could make Kay accept the alliance was that he gave up Yong Shili and Sha Lan to marry Askar, but this was an impossible condition for Xiu Zhe to accept.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Askar is a golden phoenix, how can the kid be worthy of the pearl of your palm if he is only a grass man and has no higher education?"

With these words, Xiu Zhe had already given Kay enough face, and at the same time, he also tactfully told Kay that it was non-negotiable if he wanted him to give up Yong Shili and Sha Lan in exchange for the support of the Void Ancestor.

"I see, what Elder Xiu said has a certain truth." Kayi, who seemed to be a little angry, slowly leaned his back against the back of the dragon chair and shook his head lightly, "It's a pity, it's a pity..."

Xiu Zhe knew that the pity in the first half of Kay's sentence meant that the alliance had completely collapsed because of what he had just said, and the second half of the sentence was Kay's pity that he had not succeeded in winning him over as his son-in-law.

"It's a pity, since that's the case, the minister retired first." Xiu Zhe's waist bent three more points, and Kay saw that Xiu Zhe didn't want to talk about it anymore and didn't do it anymore

Retained: "Xilan, send Elder Xiu." ”

Xi Lan nodded and followed Xiu Zhe to leave the VIP room and close the door, and after the two of them walked away, the old eunuch beside Kayi bent down and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, are we really going to watch from the wall and not help both ends?" ”

"Do you know about a creature like a jackal?" Kay asked rhetorically as he took a sip of his tea.

The old eunuch nodded and responded: "The old slave knows a thing or two, although the size of the jackal is smaller than that of the wolf, its speed is faster than that of the wolf, and in terms of threat, the two are comparable. ”

"Not only that, but wolves are ferocious, but they kill their prey before they start eating, while jackals start eating alive before the prey is dead, and they are slightly more cruel and cunning than wolves."

The meaning of Kayi's words could not be more obvious, the Delos Empire is the wolf in his mouth, and Xiu Zhe is a jackal.

"Then Your Majesty still has the intention of recruiting this jackal?"

Hearing this, Kay glanced at the old eunuch, and the eunuch, who reacted that he should not speculate about the emperor's intentions, immediately lowered his head and did not dare to say more.

On the other side, Xi Lan, who walked back to his temporary residence side by side with Xiu Zhe, sighed and said, "Salel is clearly attacking you, the Dark Elf Kingdom has entered a state of preparation, and the war is about to break out. Watching old friends who used to sit together drink and talk about life fighting each other, my heart really didn't feel good. ”

"Patriarch Buwanga and Duke Bahn?" Xiu Zhe looked at the flying bird flying in the sky and muttered: "Life is involuntary in the world, how can you be as comfortable as that flying bird?" Strength as strong as Sodros has times when he can't help it, let alone a courtier like us who is an official in the court and a patriarch who shoulders the life of an entire clan. ”

"When will this world be peaceful? Xi Lan's face was full of melancholy, and his gaze also moved to the bird that gradually faded out of his sight, he just wanted to be the bird carefree when he was as young as Xiu Zhe, but now he was in the court and had to worry about state affairs.

Hearing this, Xiu Zhe was also silent, he was not a prophet or a god, he couldn't give Xi Lan an answer, would he enter a peaceful and prosperous era after the destruction of the Delos Empire? Since ancient times, no two countries have been at peace for a hundred years, let alone six countries on the Arad continent with different philosophies and values.

When Delos is destroyed, the alliance agreement will naturally be abolished, and at that time, whether the countries of the continent will enter a new round of fighting or be sympathetic to the people's feelings and stop provoking battles will have nothing to do with Xiuzhe.

He just wanted to get back what he had lost, and to do that was to become like the creator god Caroso.

"That's it, I've seen a lot of things in the long river of time, and I also have a deep understanding of my own weaknesses, and these things are not something I can control at all." Xilan sighed and smiled, "After you meet Yong Shili and Paris, the three of you will follow me to my residence, and I will also show you the way to the lion's head." ”

Xiu Zhe smiled and nodded, the two of them made it clear what they were going to do next, and the pace was much faster, and they returned to the room that the staff arranged for him when they participated in the competition before.

When he opened the door and saw only Yong Shili alone, Xiu Zhe asked with some doubts: "Where is Paris?" ”

"Paris has already returned to the Duchy first, and I am also under Sister Skady

Sister's will to prepare to return to the principality. Yong Shili frowned slightly and continued: "Just now I used the communication mirror to communicate with Sister Skadi, and there was some anxiety in her tone, the Delos Empire has already begun to take action. ”

"What?!"

Xilan and Xiu Zhe exclaimed at the same time, the two of them were still talking about the Delos Empire, and the news of the back foot had already come that Leon had begun to operate?

"How's the battle going?" Xiu Zhe's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly calmed down and asked, if it was like a small fight between the Delos Empire and the Void Motherland before, then maybe he still had time to meet the lion head with Xi Lan, but if the Delos Empire declared a full-scale war, according to the priority of the matter, Xiu Zhe would still have to return to the Dark Elf Kingdom first.

"It shouldn't be particularly serious, but although a large-scale war has not broken out, there is a lot of friction on the border."

Hearing this, Xiu Zhe breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, in fact, after calming down, the Delos Empire must give priority to solving him before launching a large-scale war, because if he wants to use the power of ghosts and gods skillfully to enter the battlefield, no matter how many soldiers' lives are piled up, he can't be stacked now.

"I'm going to use the magic circle to teleport directly back to Huttonmar, what about you?" Saying that, Yong Shili took out a magic ball from the storage bag, she knew that Xiu Zhe was going to find the lion head, but the current situation still made her have to ask Xiu Zhe's plans.

"After the matter here is settled, I will return to the Dark Elf Kingdom, and if there is any emergency, Sharprun will contact me through the King's Order."

Hearing Xiu Zhe say this, Yong Shili also nodded, injecting magic power into the magic ball, and suddenly a teleportation array with a diameter of only one meter appeared at Yong Shili's feet, and she disappeared in front of Xiu Zhe and Xi Lan.

"Let's go too." Xiu Zhe sighed lightly, and Xi Lan, who saw that Xiu Zhe was a little annoyed, also didn't talk to him about this topic with interest, and took him to take a carriage for half a day to come to a small sword hall he opened at night.

"Nuo Yu, I'm back!" Xi Lan shouted at the top of his voice, and as his words fell, a plump woman trotted out of the entrance of the Sword Pavilion and appeared in Xiu Zhe's field of vision.

Looking at Xi Lan, whose face was slightly red, Nuo Yu frowned and shouted dissatisfiedly: "Master, are you drinking again?" ”

"Oops! What's wrong with a little drink? Am I not your master anymore?! Xi Lan's tone was also impatient in his helpless tone, every time he drank, he had to be told by his disciples, and he usually nagged a little bit, and Nuo Yu behaved like this in front of Xiu Zhe, which inevitably made Xi Lan feel like a loss of face.

At this time, Nuo Yu also noticed that there was an elegant young man who seemed to be a scholar who walked into the sword hall behind Xi Lan, and at that moment he also realized that he was a little out of shape, and hurriedly bent down to say hello to Xiu Zhe and scratched Xi Lan fiercely.

"Let's go, let's ignore her." As if he hadn't seen Nuo Yu's eyes, Xi Lan took Xiu Zhe through the entrance in the front yard to his resting place.

Looking at Xi Lan's rather quaint room smelling the faint sandalwood, Xiu Zhe smiled and teased: "It's hard to imagine that such a sloppy person as you would decorate the room so elegantly, uncle. ”

I don't care about Xiu Zhe calling himself Uncle Xi Lan, after all, his age is indeed two rounds older than Xiu Zhe, but Xiu Zhe said that he was sloppy, which made Xi Lan a little unbearable.
