After a polite and thoughtful introduction, the guest of honor was seated.

This time, the king of Nandi made an exception and sat side by side with the guests with the poor and the princess of Nanling, the king and the kapok were opposite, the princess of Nanling was facing Yagu, and the poor and the junior and younger brother were facing each other.

Everyone is smiling, and the seating arrangement makes the atmosphere in the office feel relaxed and cheerful.

As soon as he sat down, Yagu praised the king of Nandi with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, although it will only be two days in Xizhou in the future, I have heard that the princess's full name is spread to Xizhou, and today I see that the princess is beautiful and has an extraordinary temperament!" ”

This praise came out of the mouth of the seasoned and mature prairie general, which seemed very natural and decent, and the psychological distance between the guest and the host was suddenly shortened, and the smiles on everyone's faces became even brighter.

The King of Nandi smiled: "Thank you, General, for your compliment!" Although the Xizhou Continent is much larger than the Qizhou, it is probably much backward compared to the prairie, although my Nanling has read a lot since he was a child and traveled a lot in Xizhou, but compared to this prince of Jiuxian City who has been to the outer world, the princess still has too little knowledge. ”

Yagu smiled: "Your Majesty, don't worry, when we join forces to defeat the undersea gene people, the princess can follow the two princes and brothers of the last general to the outer world to take a walk." ”

The King of Nandi looked at Yagu with a puzzled face and asked, "Who are the two princes and brothers of the general?" ”

Both Aya and Kapok laughed.

Kapok Zi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, that's the case, this prince is good friends with the prince of the prairie princess city, Shanglin, and General Yagu is the eldest cousin of Shanglin, so this prince has always called General Yagu his eldest cousin." In this way, General Yagu has two princely brothers. ”

As Kapok spoke, Princess Nanling looked at him intently.

The King of Nandi couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he heard this, "I see! The general is really an amazing character! ”

The crowd laughed again.

Xia Shan turned his face and said to the king of Nandi with a smile: "Your Majesty, Xia Poor told the prince of Jiuxian City on the road, Princess Nanling has been yearning for the outer world since she heard the legendary story of the two princes of the prairie when she was a child. ”

The king of Nandi looked at Kapok Zi and said sincerely: "That's true! I hope that the prince will stay in the new southern city for a few more days, and both the king and the princess will want to know what the outer world is really like. ”

Kapok Zi said with a smile: "Okay, as long as Your Majesty and the princess don't dislike the amazing appetite of this prince, this prince will live in Xinnan City for a long time, and be at your majesty and the princess's call at any time!" ”

The crowd laughed again.

Princess Nanling looked at Kapok with a smile on her face, her eyes were full of surprise, the idol in her heart was now in front of her, he was not only burly but also spoke funny.

Although the meeting was only a few minutes, the king of Nandi was already very satisfied with Kapok. He turned his face to the princess and smiled, "Nan Ling, don't you have a lot of questions for the prince of Jiuxian City?" Now you ask, and the prince will answer them all. ”

Princess Nan Ling looked at Kapok Zi and said softly: "Since Nan Ling heard the story of Uncle Poor, he likes to look up at the starry sky on a sunny night, imagining how magical the starry world will be. However, "

Speaking of this, she turned her face to the king and said, "Father, Nan Ling's question to the prince will be a little childish, if his father allows it, Nan Ling wants to talk to the prince of Jiuxian City alone for a while." ”

Nan Ling's words not only surprised the guests, but also obviously did not consult with the king of Nandi and the poor in advance, because the king of Nandi looked puzzled, he did not immediately express his position but turned his face to look at the poor beside him.

He smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the princess and the prince are both young people, and the story of the starry sky world between young people must be very romantic, so let them talk about it alone, Your Majesty can take this opportunity to visit the unparalleled chariot that General Yagu drove across the sea." ”

Yagu and Setsuo immediately stood up, and Yagu smiled: "Yes, Your Majesty, let the two young men talk to each other, and the last general and the military advisor will take Your Majesty to see the chariot." ”

The king of Nandi stood up, and Kapok and the princess followed suit out of politeness.

The king of Nandi smiled at Kapok: "Nan Ling is naturally curious and will have many questions, please be patient and answer them." ”

Kapok Zi promised: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Kapok Zi will definitely answer all questions!"

The four kings left with a smile, and only Princess Nanling and Kapok Zi were left in the office, and the two of them sat opposite each other.

Kapok Zile said: "Princess, the adults are gone, if you have any questions now, just say it!" ”

The princess couldn't help but "flutter!" He smiled and said: "In Nan Ling's imagination, the prince should be a general who is not good at words, but I didn't expect the prince to speak very humorously." ”

"The princess is even better than the image that Kapok Zi imagined all the way just now!" Kapok said in a sincere tone.

The short two-sentence dialogue made the psychological distance between the two get closer, and they felt that they had known each other for a long time.

"Is the prince confident in defeating the underseamen?" Princess Nanling asked, the smile on her face disappearing.

"Absolutely! What is the princess worried about? Just speak up! Kapok also looked serious.

"There are two things that Nan Ling is most worried about, first, the weapons and equipment of the people under the sea are more advanced than ours, although the prince promised that the prairie will provide certain weapons and equipment for our countries in the West Continent, but when it can be transported to the West Continent, it is still unknown how many of them will be transported. And since the undersea people have already started in Xitian Island, they will launch a full-scale attack at any time. What if the genetics attacked before the help of the savannah arrived?

Second, will the countries of the Western Continent be able to work together to fight against the undersea people in time of war? Especially because the king of the ancient land dominates Xizhou, and he has just fought a war with the three southern kingdoms of China, and the army and the people are not in harmony. And the Linhai State has always adopted a national policy of neutrality in order to protect itself, and the invasion of the undersea people, will the existing five countries in Xizhou also have different intentions? ”

Kapok said in a calm tone: "Don't worry, princess, Shanglin and his girlfriend Zhen'er are directing the military factory in the prairie to manufacture weapons and equipment day and night, our new cannons and chariots will not be worse than the undersea people, the two of them will use the steamships we made to send weapons to Xizhou as soon as possible, and the eastern seafarers will protect our fleet to get here safely."

We have already visited the King of the Sea and the King of the Ancient Land, and they have both pledged to fight with all their might, and it is said that the three southern kingdoms of you have always been united, and as long as the southern kingdom is determined to resist the war, the other two countries will follow. In addition to the weapons and equipment that will be shipped soon, we have already trained five corps of expeditionary forces in the prairie, not only that, but at least five corps composed of the children of the Qizhou Chamber of Commerce will be assembled to join the expeditionary force within a few days, and they will all be equipped with advanced weapons and equipment in the prairie. ”

The princess said: "Nan Ling understands that the Prairie people are sincere in helping us in Xizhou to resist the undersea people, but there are many people in Xizhou who are worried that the purpose of sending troops or recruiting troops in the local area is not pure, and guess that you want to take the opportunity to annex Xizhou when the undersea and Xizhou people are defeated." If you don't dispel the doubts of the people of Xizhou, it will make your expeditionary force fall into a thankless situation when fighting against the people of the sea in Xizhou. ”

Kapok Zi frowned tightly and said: "This is a difficult problem, people are unpredictable in the war era, I am afraid that there will be geneatics who spread rumors in Xizhou to confuse the public, what strategy does the princess have to resolve the suspicions of Xizhou people?" ”

The princess looked at Kapok Zi and said with an extremely serious expression: "Nan Ling knows very well that the success or failure of the upcoming war determines whether we Xizhou people and even the prairie people can have a chance to survive, so in order to win the victory, we must let go of the grievances between countries, as well as the personal feelings of our princes and princesses, and we must take survival as the primary goal, otherwise we will not survive."

Therefore, if the prince agrees, the Prairie and our Southland can nominally announce that they will form an alliance by marriage, so that at least the soldiers and civilians of the Southland can feel that we and the Prairie are one family. As the prince heard, the Haishen Kingdom and the Minghai Kingdom have always formed an alliance with our Nandi Kingdom to fight against the Gudi King and dominate it, as long as the soldiers and civilians of our Nandi Kingdom are united with your prairie, the three southern kingdoms will work together to fight against the undersea people.

Coupled with the weapons and equipment of the steppe and the strength of the expeditionary force and the Qizhou Chamber of Commerce Corps, we have hope of defeating the undersea people. Of course, in fact, Nan Ling and the prince are still just friends, and after defeating the undersea people, the prince is not bound by anything. Nan Ling only has gratitude and admiration for the prince, and will never complain. ”

Kapok was shocked by the princess's words, and a princess and a future queen should have such a mind when she thought of such a plan.

He said emotionally: "Kapok Zi is willing to follow the princess's advice, and after defeating the sea people, as long as the princess does not dislike it, Kapok Zi is willing to stay in New South City for a long time." ”

In the evening, the main streets of New South City and the inside and outside of the palace were decorated with lights, and the king of Nandi held a grand banquet in the palace, inviting his ministers and celebrities from all walks of life in New South City to attend.

At the banquet, the King of Nandi announced in a high-profile manner that the prince of the prairie wine fairy city and the princess of Nanling would marry, and would choose an auspicious day to hold a wedding after defeating the undersea gene.

At the banquet, the king of Nandi announced at the same time: Early tomorrow morning, a notice will be posted in all the cities of Nandi to spread the good news to the army and people of the whole country, and several envoys will be sent to other kingdoms in the West Continent to report the news, and the good news of marriage will be posted in the capitals of each country.

After the banquet and returning to the palace room, Kapok immediately ordered the communication soldiers to send a message to Shanglin and Zhen'er:

"We have persuaded the countries of Xizhou to stop the civil war and prepare for fortifications, Xizhou has enough troops but backward weapons and equipment, you must transport at least 70,000 rifles, 7 million rounds of ammunition, 10,000 sets of expeditionary force uniforms and 100 expeditionary force flags in Xizhou as soon as possible, as long as the transportation capacity allows, you must load as many cannons, chariots and shells as possible, and the base camp of our expeditionary force will be located in the new southern city of Nandi country."

After the telegram was sent, Kapok soon received a reply from Kabayashi: "Five steamships will be built in two months, and the stock of rifles and ammunition uniforms plus the number of overtime production in two months will meet the needs." As long as production is carried day and night, it is estimated that in two months, it will be able to carry 200 cannons, 4,000 shells, and 100 new combat vehicles equipped with internal combustion engines, which is also the maximum carrying capacity of five ships. ”
