The guest hall is self-contained, and it is ridiculously large. According to Queen Carrie's instructions, the chamberlain arranged a suite for Yang Yi and the others.

I probably hadn't seen my mother for a long time, so after Yang Yi and the others settled down, Amy said goodbye and left.

After leaving the inner servant, Yang Yi called Lin Feng and the others over.

"Brother, yes, it seems that the future mother-in-law is very satisfied with your prospective son-in-law."

"Old Shen!" Jackson reminded Shen Chengwen and asked Shen Chengwen not to talk nonsense, after all, Lin Feng was also there, and his face was very ugly.

In fact, Yang Yi's face was even more ugly.

It's not that Yang Yi can't afford to joke, he used to joke with Shen Cheng and them, but now is not the time.

"What do you think?" Yang Yi started the conversation.

"Obviously, the Heavenly Saint Emperor wants to entrap us, and he knows that the key person is you." Shen Chengwen smiled faintly and said, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Amy's queen mother come forward." If you just receive us and arrange accommodation for us, a small chamberlain is enough, why do you need to let the queen ask in person? ”

Yang Yi nodded slightly and looked at Jackson.

"Amy said that Carrie is a secular queen and has no right to intervene in political affairs, and Princess Siga's marriage is related to the core interests of the Hidden Spirit royal family, so Carrie has no right to interfere. Judging by her appearance, she must be a cautious person, and she asked about your family affairs so casually, obviously someone instructed her. Jackson pursed his lips and said, "The only one who can instruct the Empress, and let the Empress do it, is the Heavenly Saint Emperor." ”

"Brother, it's not a bad thing."

Yang Yi glared at Shen Chengwen and said, "The point is, why did the Heavenly Saint Emperor win us over? ”

"Do you need to talk about that?"

"Because we passed the trial?" Yang Yi smiled faintly, shook his head again, and said. "The trial is just a means, and our purpose is to let the Hidden Spirit Clan send troops to participate in the war, even if the Heavenly Saint Emperor does not win us over, after passing the trial, we will still submit a request to participate in the war."

"So, why do you think he's trying to woo us?"

"That's not the point."

Shen Cheng was slightly stunned when he heard this. looked at Yang Yi incomprehensibly.

"Actually, we should pay more attention to the message conveyed by the Heavenly Holy Emperor's move."

"What do you mean?" Jackson asked, he was also puzzled, and he didn't understand what Yang Yi meant.

"I began to say that even if the Heavenly Saint Emperor didn't win us over, after passing the trial, we would do our best to convince the Elders to send troops to the war. Then, the Heavenly Saint Emperor did not woo us so that we could go to the Council of Elders to give a speech that would cause us to move and tear. ”

"What's that for?"

"It's clear that the Hidden Spirit Clan's march into battle has been decided. We tried and tried to convince the Presbyterian Church that it was just a formality. What's more, it is definitely not only the Hidden Spirit Clan that has decided to send troops to the war, but also other top-level civilizations, and even some high-level civilizations. ”

"In other words, even if we don't pass the trial, the Hidden Spirit Clan will send troops?"

Yang Yi nodded. He said: "This is the reason why the Heavenly Saint Emperor has wooed us, that is, he hopes to consolidate the alliance with the Human Federation through us. In this way, they will seize the initiative in the military operations of the North Fourth District, strive to obtain the maximum benefits, and prevent the Human Federation from defecting to other top civilizations. ”

"What benefits can the Hidden Spirits gain from this?" Jackson still didn't quite understand.

"Of course there are benefits, and huge benefits." Shen Cheng let out a long sigh and answered for Yang Yi. "If Brother Yang's analysis is not wrong, it is not only the Hidden Spirit Clan who has decided to send troops to the Northern Fourth District. If there are other civilizations, you have to form a coalition army, and you have to set up a coalition command. Although usually, the voice of each party in the coalition command will be determined based on factors such as the number of troops provided. But no matter how it is distributed, the coalition forces have only one command, only one commander, and the commander has absolute dominance. Because the Human Federation is the de facto ruler of the North Fourth District, and the first task of the coalition is to assist the Human Federation in guarding the home system, the Human Federation has a great say in the selection of the commander of the coalition forces, and even has the right to decide. What's more, if several top-level civilizations all send troops, plus those high-level civilizations, the Human Federation will have more options, and it may not continue to rely on the Hidden Spirits at that time, at least it will use this as a bargaining chip with the Hidden Spirits. The Heavenly Saint Emperor knew very well that the previous actions of the Hidden Spirit Clan, especially the indifferent attitude, had already chilled the Human Federation. The alliance between the Human Federation and the Hidden Spirits has not yet broken down, simply because there is no other choice for the time being. With various civilizations sending troops to war, the Human Federation has an alternative to the Hidden Spirits. Don't forget, before this, the Star Soul Empress had already approached Brother Yang and proposed an alliance with the Human Federation. Even if those guys in the federal authorities would not be so reckless as to turn against the Hidden Spirits, they would definitely do their best to protect their own interests, that is, the interests of the Human Federation, instead of thinking about the Hidden Spirits everywhere. In this case, it is obviously impossible for the Hidden Spirit Clan to dominate the coalition army. ”

"For this, you have to win us over?"

Shen Chengwen nodded and said, "Actually, this is also the fundamental reason why the Heavenly Saint Emperor actively assisted us in participating in the trial. ”

Jackson frowned, thinking seriously about what Shen Chengwen said.

"Although Brother Yang is an envoy of the Human Federation, he is essentially a worthless soldier. Don't forget, if it weren't for the fact that the Green Province was destroyed by the Silicon Charm Alliance, the life route was cut off, and we happened to be on the other side, otherwise, it would not have been Brother Yang's turn to serve as an envoy. Shen Chengwen smiled faintly and said to Yang Yi, "Brother Yang, I am just a rough person, and I have always been straightforward when I speak, don't take it to heart." ”

Yang Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head, he knew that Shen Chengwen was a person, of course he would not take it to heart.

"To put it bluntly, even if the mission is successful and returns to the home galaxy with the army of the Hidden Spirit Clan, Brother Yang is still just a small soldier worth mentioning, at least those guys from the federal authorities will not promote Brother Yang because of this. As for the influence of Brother Yang, it is obviously pitiful. It's just that if we pass the trial of the Hidden Spirit Clan, and the leader is Brother Yang, and we do what no one else can do, so as to prove our ability, then when we return to our home galaxy, not only Brother Yang, but all of us will no longer be unknown. Don't forget, it was here that Commander Lin rose to fame in the first place, cementing his position as Theater Commander and making the Third Theater the leader of the Federation Army. ”

Jackson nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Shen Chengwen meant.

"As long as we return with honor, become a hero admired by everyone, and have enough influence, even if we don't have an official position, we will become a decisive big man. If our attitude is inclined towards the Hidden Spirits and we are grateful to the Heavenly Holy Emperor, then our influence will change the alliance policy of the Human Federation, and the Heavenly Holy Emperor will be able to suppress other civilizations through our alliance with the Human Federation. ”

"For this, he will marry his daughter to Brother Yang?"

When Jackson said this, Yang Yi rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"Obviously, the Heavenly Holy Emperor has many daughters, and he knows Brother Yang, and there is only one who has a close relationship with Brother Yang. If you can exchange a daughter for ......"

"Alright." Yang Yi stopped Shen Chengwen's words and said, "What Old Shen said is very reasonable, but it is not yet time to be complacent. ”

Shen Chengwen smiled faintly, noticed Lin Feng's expression, and became honest.

"The Heavenly Saint Emperor is indeed courting us, but he is also on guard against us."

"Beware?" Jackson looked at Yang Yi incomprehensibly.

Yang Yi nodded and said, "The trial has dragged on for so long, and we appeared in the palace, and the space passage was still made by him, which shows that he has been monitoring us and paying close attention to our every move, so as to judge whether we have the value of attracting and using, or whether we will be used by him." There is no doubt that if the Heavenly Saint Emperor thinks that we will not be controlled by him, let alone be used by him, not only will he not win us over, but he will not even let us leave the Hidden Spirit Star alive. As for pulling me and Amy together, in addition to trapping, it is also testing us. In any case, the Heavenly Saint Emperor still hasn't fully believed in us. ”

Jackson nodded thoughtfully, as if he understood what Yang Yi meant.

"So, what are we going to do?" Shen Chengwen asked directly.

"Just act as if nothing happened, do what you have to do."

"This ......"

Yang Yi smiled faintly and said, "The Heavenly Saint Emperor can't believe it, but we can trust Princess Xijia." ”

"Are you sure she'll be on our side?" Shen Cheng frowned when he heard this, and said, "Don't forget, she is the Xijia princess of the Hidden Spirit Clan, and from her standpoint, we have to take refuge in the Heavenly Saint Emperor to benefit the Hidden Spirit Clan." Even if she were your friend, she wouldn't necessarily support us in this matter. Besides, to say that she doesn't have the slightest affection for you is obviously a lie. Do you think we can fully trust her? ”

Yang Yi sighed secretly, even if he didn't want to admit it, he couldn't deny what Shen Cheng had said.

"Do we have any other choice?" At this time, Lin Feng opened his mouth and said, "Lao Shen's worries do exist, but apart from Amy, who else can we trust?" Anyway, Amy and Yang Yi had a fateful relationship, and I was near Lava Star at the time, so I knew how much ordeal they went through. Besides, what we've been through since we've been here is enough to prove that Amy deserves our trust. ”

Shen Cheng pursed his mouth when he heard this, Lin Feng said so, what else did he have to say.

"Actually, it's useless to worry about it now." Jackson sighed and said, "This is the palace, we can't escape." Since you can't escape, you have to go to the presbyterian church, so you should respond to all changes with the same. No matter what tricks the Heavenly Saint Emperor plays, he will eventually target us. At that point, it's not too late to think about countermeasures. At least until we leave the Hidden Spirit Star, the Heavenly Saint Emperor won't do anything to us. ”

Jackson said this, in fact, he was relieving Yang Yi and ending this unpleasant topic. (To be continued.) )
