Jiao Ming enthusiastically introduced several dishes, recommended braised six-legged crocodile ribs, and reminded the other side that scrambled eggs with poisonous mushrooms are delicious and miraculous only if they are above the six rings of the water system.

Mu Ke raised his eyebrows, and he didn't know if he heard the temptation, so he tasted a few bites of both dishes. This undoubtedly indicates its identity as a warrior of the high-ring water system.

Jiao Ming pouted, under the huge population base, there will always be such a genius. The seventy-year-old Seven Rings, although one step behind himself and Binglian, are also similar to sharp bones, and there is no hope of being promoted to the Nine Rings.

Further, if this is an eight-ring, it is one step slower than geniuses such as Chunyu or Emily, and it is not to be underestimated at all. But considering that his self-proclaimed baron status is not yet accurate, the possibility of the Eight Rings is not very likely.

As for the Nine Rings, it is obviously impossible. On the one hand, such a young nine-ring powerhouse would not accompany the negotiation team as an attendant, and on the other hand, Saburu Sharp Hail would not be without words.

In this way, Jiao Ming and Mu Ke chatted while eating, and when the team set off after lunch, it had been determined that this goods were from the southern region of the Xuqin Kingdom, belonged to the forces behind the Crocodile Axe Fortress Battle, and left that team in the afternoon. There was no malice in this visit for the time being, it was a preliminary observation of the situation, and some information that everyone knew, and it was another matter if you received a follow-up order.

And such a frank attitude surprised everyone at the table, Jiao Ming even had a feeling of being sorry for others without saying some secret feedback, and Saburu Sharp Hail bluntly asked why.

Mu Ke smiled, "Unnecessary temptations and misunderstandings will only bring twists and turns and trouble to my mission, won't they?"

In the afternoon of the next day, the team rushed to Changteng Town, and after a simple welcome ceremony, they went directly to the topic, and Jiao Ming's surveillance mission entered a relatively difficult stage. All space teleportation by the negotiators must be monitored, and it is no problem to contact Kvenans in the rear, but it is okay to try to contact the captives.

Although judging from the sincerity shown by Kwenans in the past few days, Jiao Ming does not think that the other party has a plan in this regard, but there is nothing wrong with being careful. As with all kinds of items with the word 'safety', just in case, such as hard hats.

With such a task in mind, Jiao Ming also watched the negotiation process from the sidelines. It was when the crocodile duke solemnly offered tens of thousands of ordinary people as a ransom, and did not miss the wonderful expression of the negotiators. And judging from the longer interval between calls, Keven Ans and his staff in the kingdom of the Xuqin people should be similar.

And Xu Qinren's reaction was also expected, and after repeatedly confirming that it was not a joke, he proposed a day to think about it.

Jiao Ming accompanied the negotiation team back to the resting place, monitoring the movement of the qi magic medium, and recalling the process of the negotiation meeting just now. But he felt more and more that the crocodile duke looked at him very strangely, combined with the occasional afterglow in the past few days. Circling with Jiao Ming's sluggishness, he also felt that there was something inside, and at the beginning of the retrospective, it was undoubtedly the night of the meeting in the ruins of the Crocodile Axe Fortress.

After a little hesitation, Jiao Ming still didn't hold back after all, and summoned Binglian. After the meeting, he asked directly: "What did you say to your father-in-law during that night's soul exchange? These days, I always feel that my father-in-law looks at me a little awkwardly, do you have any opinions?"

Binglian hesitated slightly, leaned directly into Jiao Ming's arms, and explained: "Father just thinks that your plan for Xu Qinren is long-term and vicious, and you are usually stunned and scheming-well, I'm sorry, if you don't like it, I'll change your words." ”

"Forget it, you continue. ”

"It's too different from your usual appearance, and I suspect that you are a scheming person who has been performing to deceive everyone. ”

Jiao Ming was stunned for a moment, only then did he understand the meaning of his words, and said softly. "It's just a big framework for a map to open up the territory, isn't it?"

Binglian moved her body in her lover's arms to change into a more comfortable position, looked south from the window, and said slowly: "The key is that our plan is feasible, and it sounds naturally different from when you were a child dreaming about the globe. ”

After being reminded like this, Jiao Ming suddenly remembered his dream of conquering the world in junior high school and the draft plan he made for it. His cheeks were feverish, he tightened his arms slightly, and he raised his face and threatened:

"Although I have shown you many memories of my time on Earth, many of them are something I don't want to remember again, so you can't mention it again, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

"Haha, I'm sorry, I won't dare in the future. Binglian smiled and agreed, and gave a kiss to apologize, and then continued: "Actually, when I first heard the plan to remove the Xu Qin people from history, I was also very surprised. But on the way back, with our familiarity, I almost suspected that you were a big conspirator. What's more, it's my father and a few elders of the Nine Rings. ”

However, it was said that at the dawn after the capture of the Crocodile Slashing Axe Fortress, Ice Lotus used her soul communication ability to conduct a top-secret meeting of six people. The young couple told the four elders about the complete population absorption plan for hollowing out the kingdom of the Xuqin people. Although this plan has many benefits, the four elders are still noncommittal and have reservations.

After all, based on the experience of life over the past few decades, it is difficult to quickly measure the success rate and the pros and cons of this plan.

The meeting ended for the time being, and the Ox Cavalry completely destroyed the concrete fortifications of the Crocodile Axe Fortress and returned with the captives. On the way, Jiao Ming had a flash of inspiration and had two new ideas.

First one.

The number of ordinary people who were used as ransom was huge, and if the Xuqin Kingdom agreed, it was likely that the apportionment method would be adopted, and the lords from all over the country would draw the excess population from the territory. Based on the number of 100 people in a village, a baron has more than a dozen villages, and the forced relocation of a village can complete the task. And this also reduces the pressure on food, which is a double win at the moment of the outbreak of hunger.

But this gives the Crocodile Territory's population plan a great opportunity, and if these people can be completely transformed, they will definitely become the best grassroots support personnel, and play an immeasurable role in the future annexation process.

Simply imagine a scene a few years ago or more than ten years ago, the lord forcibly took away the residents of the neighboring village and gave them to the foreign countries, but actually returned to their hometown in a state of bright clothes and ruddy faces, gave many novelty objects to relatives and friends who were close to the old people, and preached about the good life in the foreign countries in these years. The persuasiveness of this role model is not possible for any force or genius orator.

At that time, I am afraid that without the need for a crocodile to lead a single soldier, a stable rural grassroots environment can be obtained in the early stage of 'liberating' the kingdom of the Xuqin people. The whole process is as if some spider pre-injected digestive juice into the prey, making it easier to eat later.

The latter idea is even more vicious. That is a trick to make an inherent territory, changing the kingdom of the Xuqin people to the title of the southern crocodile leader.

The history of the Xuqin Kingdom and the Crocodile Territory that the maid Butterfly once mentioned, Jiao Ming did a simple investigation as an anecdote after hearing it, and compared the family records of the Crocodile Family with the records of the Magicians Association, roughly restoring the entire historical process.

At the beginning of the Age of Magic, self-awakened magicians appeared within various kingdoms and primitive religious forces, and the old ruling class was naturally terrified. At least on the surface, the Crocodile Territory's water-based magic warriors are more acceptable than those magicians who tear apart space or directly turn people into black ashes, and they have become a weapon for various forces to hire and suppress internally.

In return, apart from all kinds of curiosities, women, and food, is land. According to the records of the Crocodile Family, when the old forces and the new Wizard Association were at their most intense, as an accomplice of the old forces, the land under the name of the Crocodile Family almost reached the vicinity of the Green Flame Kingdom. However, at that time, the crocodile family had no time to effectively manage this vast land, and even failed to send people and horses to walk around, leaving boundary markers like dogs peeing, etc., everything was just left on paper.

The next thing was the defeat of the old forces, and the crocodile family turned against the crocodile family when they saw that the situation was not good, so they barely kept the crocodile territory. Due to the demise of the donor, the territory outside the crocodile territory is not extravagant in terms of legal significance and practical ability. Even the kingdom of the Xuqin people, who moved to a large number of crocodile leaders, also shut up to keep safe and let them develop and grow because of the identity of the crocodile leader himself.

To some extent, this made the Xuqin people and several states and kingdoms in the surrounding areas.

So on this basis, it is not impossible that the kingdom of the Xuqin people, which is far away from different areas of human race and has the same appearance and language, will be slightly renamed 'Southern Crocodile Collar', after all, history is written by the victors.

When Changteng Town was in sight, Jiao Ming listened to Binglian with these two words, which not only completely perfected the entire annexation plan, but also completely shocked Binglian. After that, the young couple made a little improvement, and in the soul exchange meeting the next day, they completely shocked the four elders with a more complete and huge annexation plan.

And this is also the reason why Duke Crocodile and even Binglian suspect that Jiao Ming is a big conspirator. It's just that Jiao Ming didn't think this plan was shocking, and he was usually vague, and he didn't notice the strangeness in the crocodile duke's eyes until today.

Objectively speaking, this is not Jiao Ming's deep scheming and long-term planning, the human societies of the two worlds are at different levels of development, and the vision and insight of the members are naturally very different. On this basis, the strategies made by those with higher vision naturally give people a sense of elusiveness.

This is like the end of the feudal dynasty, such as the end of the Ming Dynasty and the end of the Qing Dynasty, the struggle between internal factions has entered a white-hot stage, and the officials of all parties have really boiled their hair white, and the situation analysis and judgment they have made, as well as the more than a dozen steps to deal with various situations, may be enough to write dozens of millions of words.

But these are all useless, in front of the iron cavalry and the strong ships and cannons, they are all scum. And the generals of the Eight Banners at the end of the Ming Dynasty, or the commanders of the Eight-Nation Alliance, may have only one thought in their hearts: rush to kill.

It cannot be said that the latter is more scheming than those of the DPRK and China, but they are at a different level. The situation here is similar, he stands in the lower reaches of history, looking at the war between the Crocodile Leader and the Xuqin Kingdom with a broader vision in terms of time and space, and there is also a 'predecessor's gameplay strategy' in the conflict of the Earth Kingdom that can be used as a reference, and naturally he can come up with a strategy that the natives can't imagine at all.

At this point, Jiao Ming finally sorted out the cause and effect, rolled his eyes and shouted wronged. “...... Is there any way to explain it to my father-in-law? It's not a problem to go on like this. And if it weren't for you, I wouldn't bother to spend these brain cells, you have to find a way to come out. ”

"If you think it's really awkward, why don't we announce the news of pregnancy, and my father should not care about it anymore when he is happy. ”

Jiao Ming touched his lover's lower abdomen, which was already showing signs of bulging, and said with a smile: "I can't hide this matter if I want to." When I went to see Sister Chunyu a few days ago, those seven aunts and eight aunts kept asking, saying whether you have gained weight recently. The look was clearly suspicious. ”

Just a few days ago, Chunyu finally gave birth to a big fat boy. Although he took the opportunity to make a fuss because of his gullible madman's personality and ended up in the hospital, the delivery went smoothly and the mother and child were safe. Jiao Ming and Binglian naturally wanted to visit, not only colliding with many female elders, but also hearing a gossip news.

That is Saburu Jianhail almost decided to completely isolate his grandson from Chunyu, so as not to do 'irrational' things by Chunyu, who has a criminal record. Fortunately, all parties persuaded and Chunyu also vowed not to mess around, which saved a human tragedy.

Jiao Ming felt that everyone was happy at first, but the more he pondered it, the more wrong it became, and he realized under the reminder of Binglian. In this way, it is basically a performance made by the elders to reach a tacit understanding on the spot, the purpose of which is to suppress the spring rain that is 'too fat'.

If it was original, Jiao Ming would inevitably be uneven for the spring rain. But the current situation of becoming a father made Jiao Ming have to make an illusion, what if his daughter was as uneasy as Chunyu and threatened him with a dangerous magic experiment with his grandson in his womb?

In just an instant, Jiao Ming felt a deep sympathy for Saburu Sharp Hail, lamenting that he had such a daughter, and sighed that he never had the idea of holding the spring rain again.

"What's the matter with doubts, there's no equipment from your hometown, and there's no such pesky little god pet beast here. Wear more clothes and hide it for dozens of days. Binglian said, lifted the hem of her blouse, grabbed her lover's hand and stroked her abdomen without any barrier.

"Actually, there's another question that you may not like, but we also have to think about it. ”

"What?" Jiao Ming felt the slippery and familiar touch on his hand, and his brain entered an inefficient state.

"According to your hometown, it's probably a marriage in the belly. After a pause, not hearing any objections, Binglian continued: "The Saburu family, as the second family of the Crocodile Leader, has always been the marriage partner of our Crocodile Family. But my father and I have gone awry, and the relationship is inevitably distant. I estimate that if we give birth to a daughter, it is inevitable that we will be arranged with Chunyu's son. ”
