Chapter Seventy-Two: The War of Words
At this time, Princess Nanxuan quietly hid behind the screen and listened to her father's conversation. She was equally curious about how smart the creature could be.
When the elders had no objection, the king rose from his seat. Only then could I see its tall and burly figure clearly, I thought that the great elder was already very tall, but I didn't expect this king to be stronger.
"For many years, the border of my Fire Phoenix Clan has been harassed by the Xixuan Demon Tiger Clan, and the clansmen living on the border are miserable!" Wang said with some anxiety.
The princess, who was hiding behind the screen, silently looked outside through the gap, "The border issue has plagued my father for many years, and I'm curious... What he thinksβ" she thought to herself.
"Guys, do you have a plan? Solve this problem that has plagued my Fire Phoenix Clan for many years! The king said with his hands behind his back. In fact, they had discussed this issue for a long time, but the king never agreed with the elders.
The Great Elder took the lead in standing up and arched his hand: "Your Highness, the old minister thinks that harmony is the first clever plan!" In this way, not only can the border problem be solved, but also an alliance with the Demon Tiger Clan! It's the best of both worlds! β
The other elders glanced at each other and agreed with the Great Elder's proposal. So they still insisted on the previous proposal, asking for a princess and a kiss.
"What about you? Einstein? Wang's tone was a little dull. It felt sorry for its daughter, so it never agreed to this plan.
The clear eyes behind the screen, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes, were expecting this Einstein to make a very different proposal.
Jiang Xiaohao touched his chin and said without hesitation: "One word!" War! β
"Hahaha, ignorant junior! Do you know how much disaster it will bring to my Fire Phoenix Clan if there is a war? The Great Elder asked Jiang Xiaohao mockingly.
"Hmph, I think it's you who are ignorant! I'm not talking about a war, not really going to war! Jiang Xiaohao said coldly, Wang was very curious How could such a kid dare to speak like this.
The king said, "Great Elder, why don't you let him tell me why!" Then he looked at Jiang Xiaohao and motioned for him to continue.
"In terms of overall strength, the Fire Phoenix Clan is slightly weaker than the Demon Tiger Clan. From the current overall situation, harmony is indeed a way to get the best of both worlds! Jiang Xiaohao's eyes rolled and continued: "However, what I didn't expect was that the dignified Fire Phoenix Clan would rely on a woman to seek stability!" β
Hearing this, the king and the elders were a little unhappy, "Boy! You know what! Princesses and relatives can not only bring peace! It can also establish diplomatic relations with the Demon Tiger Clan and dominate Mia! The Great Elder spread out his hands and said loudly, retorting vigorously.
"Humph! To put it bluntly, this is just an excuse for your cowardice! Let me ask Your Highness, is it true that the whole Fire Phoenix Clan eats soft rice? Jiang Xiaohao said to the king, although the tone was not very friendly, but he bet that the king would not treat himself well!
"What did you say!? How can my Fire Phoenix Clan be greedy for life and afraid of death! The king said with some annoyance.
"Excellent! Haven't you all thought about what the Demon Tiger Clan thinks in their hearts? Could it be that they were really not afraid of the Fire Phoenix Clan at all? Jiang Xiaohao paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, quite a military teacher.
He continued: "Although the strength of the Fire Phoenix Clan is slightly weaker, both the enemy and I know in our hearts that once we fight. The losses on both sides are bound to be heavy. The other two forces will surely be on fire! β
"So, why don't we take advantage of that?" Jiang Xiaohao's "war" should be "gambling war" to be exact! , he bet that the Demon Tiger Clan would never dare to completely fall out with the Fire Phoenix Clan.
The Great Elder's face was ruthless, and it saw that there was some hesitation on the king's face. Hurriedly said: "Ridiculous! This is undoubtedly gambling with the lives of the whole clan! It's okay not to go to war, but once the war really starts, the Fire Phoenix Clan will be destroyed in the hands of you, an outsider! β
"That is, you must not joke with the fate of the whole clan."
"What the Great Elder said is very true!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The other elders looked at each other, all believing that what the Great Elder said was right. There is no more stable way to exchange a peaceful method for decades of peace.
There are already two factions in the palace: the peace faction led by the Great Elder, and Jiang Xiaohao's gambling faction.
"I've said what I'm going to say. What the final result is, please let Your Highness decide! Jiang Xiaohao ignored the Great Elder.
The eyes behind the screen were completely moist, and she wondered what her father was thinking at the moment. Her eyes fell on the king again.
The king rubbed his head, the Great Elder's proposal was indeed a good idea. But it only has one daughter, and it's too difficult to make such a choice.
And if you follow Jiang Xiaohao's strategy and make a stand with the Demon Tiger Clan, either you will not be harassing or you will declare war in an all-out way. It was also unsure of how likely the former was, and for a moment fell into deep thought.
"Your Highness, please think twice," the Great Elder said.
"Alright, Stan and your plan make sense, you can count it as a tie." Wang said.
The Great Elder immediately stepped forward and arched his hand, "Your Highness! Please also ask Your Highness to consider the border people and soldiers!! If the crisis is not eliminated for a day, it will be difficult to sleep day and night! β
"Alright, let's make a decision on the matter. I'm tired today, let's talk about it another day! With that, the king walked to the screen behind his seat and left the palace chamber.
"Father... Father! The princess hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, a little overwhelmed.
The king said, "Sakura, you have heard everything, and my father wants to ask you what your opinion is." β
"I... I ,..." She didn't know what to say, and as a woman, she definitely didn't want to kiss her. But as the princess of the Fire Phoenix Clan, for the safety of her people, she has an unshirkable responsibility.
It took a long time for her to speak: "I want to hear my father's opinion~"
"Einstein's strategy is too risky. I can't gamble with the lives of the whole clan, if the Fire Phoenix Clan really has three longs and two shorts, I am ashamed of my ancestors and ancestors! The king said with emotion, "But..."
Wang was about to continue, but she interrupted. "I know my father, as the princess of the Fire Phoenix Clan, I should be responsible for my people! Hmm~" After saying that, he cried and left.
"Sakura~..."The king wanted to keep her, but he took back his outstretched hand, "Hey~"
In the council hall, the Great Elder snorted coldly and left, followed by a group of elders. Jiang Xiaohao was also arranged to rest in the VIP room. This matter is not over, this great elder will definitely try his best to make the princess reconcile.
"Big brother, the princess has nothing to do with you, and it's good to be close!" Xiao Ling said.
"yes, that's good. But it's not the best way! Jiang Xiaohao lay on the bed, holding his head in his hands and said.
"Then the big brother's plan is the best!"
Jiang Xiaohao smiled and said, "Hehe, of course!" Now this Mia is a four-legged situation, and no one dares to start a war with one side easily. But it's up to them to take a gamble! β
