Xi Che sat calmly in front of the Starlight Round Table, which had previously only stood respectfully in the distance, with a playful and peaceful smile on his face.

It seems that the topics discussed at this table have nothing to do with him at all.

However, this is not the case.

Nine of the thirteen members of the Star Rail Elder Council, the highest authority of the Star Rail Clan, are sitting here at this time, which means that they have the power to decide all matters related to the Star Clan.

It's a no-mistaken term, all.

Although the Star Lord is the patriarch of the Xingche clan and has nominal supreme rule, this ancient saint who has existed since the Battle of the Hundred Clans has been in retreat and sleep for hundreds of years.

Although no one in the Xingche clan dared to talk behind their backs about the patriarch who had led them for more than 10,000 years, everyone understood that this ancient saint with a lifespan of more than 10,000 people, after losing his divine favor, he was slowly but unstoppably sliding into the abyss of death.

Except for life and death, the rest of the world is a trivial matter.

As for the four Star Orbit Elders who did not come, the Great Elder left the table in advance out of suspicion, and similarly, the Four Elders and the Eighth Elder were also absent from this Star Orbit meeting out of protest, as for the Thirteen Elders, the premise that Xi Che was willing to come to meet and negotiate in person was that the Thirteen Elders must be deposed.

The Xingche clan and the Xiguang clan have a cooperation agreement a long time ago, the weapon plan is an important part of the beginning, the Xiguang is responsible for half of the personnel, and the Xingche clan is responsible for all the resource consumption, after the weapon is completed, the Xingche clan has the ownership of the weapon, and the Xiguang clan has the right to use one-third of the weapon, the above is the main content of the so-called weapon plan, all of which are top-secret details that Xi Che has only heard of before, and these are just pastime documents for him to read casually.

A series of agreements, including the weapons plan, did not waver even under the changes in the succession of Emperor Qingli after the death of Emperor Tianyou, but after all, they changed after the Emperor of the Apocalypse killed the emperor and seized the throne.

As the former "prince" of Dark Star, but he openly defected in the City of Eternal Night, a major event related to the fortunes of the Xingche clan, the Xingche clan naturally did not hesitate to issue the highest wanted warrant to this prince afterwards, but the situation turned around, on the fourth day after the wanted warrant was issued, Xi Che succeeded to the throne as the emperor of Ster in the name of the apocalypse, and Dark Star had to quickly withdraw the wanted warrant in disgrace, although he urgently recalled Xingxi afterwards, and fully supported a series of operations such as rebelling against the king in Sturt, But to openly provoke such a thing as an imperial emperor and patriarch of the hermit clan, Xingche would not be able to do it anyway.

At that time, Xi Che naturally would not continue to complete the so-called agreement with the Xing Che clan, and Xi Che would not be bored to ask about the follow-up content of those agreements.

However, as Xi Che continued to advance in the domestic war, when the battle situation became clearer a little, things suddenly took a turn for the better.

You may not believe it, but it is the Empire that has taken the initiative to negotiate an agreement.

In the past twenty years, almost every one of the various cooperation with the Xiguang clan has invested a lot, and the reason why he chose to oppose Xiche is naturally because the previous hostile stance caused Xingche to lose confidence in the new Majesty, so when the news came from Xiguang, almost everyone thought that it was a conspiracy of the cunning Majesty.

But with Xi Che's subsequent release, Xing Che finally slowly believed that the defected prince was really willing to continue the previous agreement, so the rest of the contact slowly became logical.

And Xi Che, as the king of a country, is in charge of a clan, and his willingness to come to the City of Stars alone while the domestic war is still uninterrupted, is the greatest manifestation of his sincerity.

Under Xi Che's generosity to the point of nearing disaster relief, almost all of the previous agreements were properly renewed, and the specific conditions even had great concessions for Xingche, and the previous negotiations were almost incredible.

So soon, the topic came to the last item.

In the weapons plan, the issue of the ownership of weapons is discussed.

Xi Che slowly raised his head, and showed a faint smile for the first time: "Regarding the weapon plan, everyone present must be able to recite the content of the agreement, so I won't say more, I only make one request, that is, I hope to have full authority to use the weapon, in other words, in the future, the weapon will no longer perform any tasks for Xingche, but the final ownership of the weapon is still owned by the Xingche clan." ”

The old men present were silent, obviously they had all known about this issue before.

"In exchange, the resources that Xingche has spent on the weapons program in the past eighteen years, Dawn will pay ten times the same amount."

The thin woman sitting at the head of the starlight round table looked at the blonde His Majesty quietly.

"Your Majesty, if you were us, would you agree?"

Xi Che smiled slightly: "Naturally I won't agree, if it's me, even if someone uses the whole world to trade with me, I won't agree, because she is the only sister I have the same blood in this world." ”

He raised his eyebrows, showing a sarcastic and provocative look: "But you are not me, she is just a sharp weapon to you, as long as it is a weapon, then there must be a corresponding price, the reason why you don't agree is just because the price proposed by others is not high enough." ”

Another old man at the round table propped his forehead and said leisurely: "In this case, Your Majesty will hand over your empire to us, we don't have your big appetite, we don't want the world." ”

Xi Che smiled: "It's a pity, although I do have this intention, but this thing really can't be handed over, whether you want the Throne of Thorns or my Imperial Seal, I will give it to you within ten days, even if it is not impossible to sign a treaty to cede Auden." ”

"But you must understand that the reason why I have been able to sit on the throne of Sturt and rule over the greedy lions is not because I am the son of the previous lion king, but because I have proven myself to be the most powerful and cunning of the lions."

"If I sign these agreements and give those gifts, I don't want to say whether these gifts will be delivered smoothly, but I myself am no longer the lion king who leads the lion pack

, then naturally there will be new challengers to overthrow me. ”

"But even so, I have some new, constructive proposals here."

As he said this, Xi Che picked up the agreements between the two countries in duplicate that had been signed by him, and raised them slightly.

"The tenfold resources mentioned before are still counted, and at the same time, all the contents of this agreement, the Empire of Ste has doubled the treaty."

In the originally quiet conference room, the heavy breathing of some people couldn't help but sound.

The content of these agreements is far from being measured in terms of money, including the exchange of all kinds of precious resources, as well as various privileges in the country, as an empire, in many ways Ste has unique resources that Xingche will never have the opportunity to get, but with this agreement, Xingche can even become the second master of the Stert Empire.

And twice as many of these, just thinking about it makes people shiver and lose their minds a little.

But no one spoke, not knowing whether they were intoxicated by the interests behind it, or did not dare to be the first to speak to break the terrible silence.

Xi Che smiled inexplicably and said in a low voice: "Isn't it enough?" Then double it again. ”

Several elders glanced at each other, their eyes full of incredible surprise and longing.

In the original internal negotiations, the weapon itself was not allowed to be discussed, and it was only placed on the agenda as a compromise with Xi Che, because the weapon itself was the biggest bargaining chip to contain His Majesty, so it would not have been ceded under any circumstances.

But they didn't expect that something was happening outside of all the circumstances.

Cessing an empire is naturally a joke, and even Xi Che does not have the ability to turn it into reality.

However, it is within Xi Che's power to change the content of the agreement.

It's crazy and incredible.

Xi Che smiled faintly and said, "Can't you?" Is it OK to double it again? ”

This time, no one spoke, and everyone wanted to see how crazy the price of this young and somewhat incredible Majesty could be.

"It's greedy."

Xi Che stood up calmly and sighed.

"Negotiations broke down, and I took back all my promises."

With that, Xi Che turned around and walked out the door.

"Wait." Someone shouted coldly from behind the round table.

"Is the prince teasing me?" Out of instinct, that person didn't use His Majesty who should have been used, but used the old name of Prince for Xi Che.

As soon as his words fell, a string of phantoms appeared in front of him.

Xi Che's movements were ghostly, and he had already stood on the Starlight Round Table in the last moment.

No one has dared to stand on this round table since it was made, but finally there is a first.

"Dare to ask the second elder, if there is someone in the Xingche clan who is disrespectful to the patriarch and speaks contemptuous words, what should be done."

The elder sat still, cold sweat soaking his back for a moment.

Sometimes he really makes people forget the terrible identity behind him.

"If an elder speaks in vain, he should slap his mouth ten times." The second elder spoke slowly.

"That's right." Xi Che smiled, looking at the old and graceful elder in front of him, watching his face gradually turn pale. "I don't have to do it for anyone."

"How dare you ......," the elder had just said two words, and the first slap slashed off his left side with a heavy blow, and then a second followed.

It's funny to say, although this elder is a strong Ziwei powerhouse, but he didn't dare to dodge the ordinary slap that blocked Xi Che, who didn't use his internal breath at all, until ten fell and Xi Che withdrew his hand, he said coldly: "Today's gift, tomorrow will be rewarded." ”

Xi Che smiled slightly: "But it doesn't hurt to come." ”

At this moment, the second elder, who had just spoken out of his ruling, looked at His Majesty who was still standing on the table: "After the punishment of eleven, Your Majesty committed murder in court, should he also be punished." ”

Xi Che smiled slightly, without the slightest fear: "Please make it clear to the second elder, and listen to him in the lower ranks, but if he is spared from this, he will be the leader of the army within a year." “

The thin old woman raised her head and looked coldly at the sharp-edged majesty: "Your Majesty really thinks that the City of Stars is not capable of bearing the crime of killing the king?" ”

Xi Che opened his hands and exposed his chest in front of the elders: "Although the three elders come to try, if they fail to kill Xi Che here today, when the army is waved in the coming day, they will slaughter the City of Stars for three days and three nights." “

The elders present looked at this mad majesty, and despite everyone's eagerness, none of them dared to take the lead.

It wasn't until the end that the second elder's voice slowly sounded.

"As His Majesty's last words, the contract is concluded, and the right to use weapons is handed over to Your Majesty."

Xi Che lowered his head and smiled, took a step back, jumped off the round table, and saluted respectfully to all the elders: "Sincere thanks." “

"As a bonus, I would like to gain control of the Star Prison."

The second elder's silver pupils focused slightly, but then he was released.

"Good."
