Chapter 2 of the Seven Seas Chapter
We followed Mingqing into the City Lord's Mansion, where a middle-aged man sat on top of the first seat in the main hall, and there were more than a dozen black-clothed people standing there motionless and silent. When we walked in, the middle-aged man looked up at us, then lowered his gaze again, and we walked forward to a position that was somewhat close to the middle-aged man, and the two men in black who were closest immediately made protective movements.
"Don't be so nervous. The middle-aged man said lightly.
"Father. Mingqing screamed.
"Qing'er, don't you tell me about your friends?" the middle-aged man asked lightly.
"Father, at that time, I was hunted down by the Hidden Clan, and it was this Shengtian brother who has been protecting me. He is a nobleman of the Terran Race, and this time he came to the Sea Clan to investigate the matter on the order of the Terran patriarch. Ming Qing said.
"Meet the city lord in Xia Zhuo Shengtian. I bowed and said.
"Noble Zhuo is polite. The contemptible Min Yan is the lord of this black tuna city. Our Sea Clan is at war, I don't know what Noble Zhuo has come to our Sea Clan to investigate this time, and what old man can help?" the middle-aged man asked.
"That's right...... "I told the city lord of Mingyan the ins and outs of the matter.
"I'm really embarrassed to trouble the nobles Zhuo to come over for a special trip. An alien force actually wants to dominate our Sea Clan, and now our Sea Clan is in the midst of a war. In times of peace, sea beasts are the best means used by various forces to make money, but once the war is torn, sea beasts become a weight in the hands of each force, and it is impossible to release them easily. Ming Yan said lightly.
"I see. "I was lost in thought.
"Originally, you were Qing'er's friend, and I could help you, but now I really can't do anything in this situation. Min Yan said.
"Since that's the case, you don't have to bother the city lord, and it's okay to use the magic teleportation array. It's just a bit of a waste. I came to the Sea Clan this time for another very important purpose, this one next to me is my friend named Chen Hao. His partner ......, "I told you about Xiaomeng.
"What does Noble Zhuo mean?" asked Min Yan suspiciously.
"I've heard some gossip before, can the city lord tell me more about the current situation of the Sea Clan?" I asked.
"Our Sea Clan has a vast territory. There are hundreds of large and small forces, and wars break out from time to time, but they have been in a state of peace for a long time after the last war. However, not long ago, an alien force came to the Sea Clan, but one force did not have much impact on us. But later, this force actually said that they would rule our Sea Clan, and at that time, hundreds of forces led by our five cities and ten countries were ready to join forces to fight against Amen......," Min Yan said.
"Can't you crush them with hundreds of forces?" I asked, confused.
"It stands to reason that hundreds of forces add up to hundreds of thousands of people, which is more than enough to deal with an external force. But what I didn't expect was that there was no trust between several big forces, and they each left one hand and left morality, and it has been a stalemate for 50 days now. But the other party's momentum was not suppressed, but strengthened. Min Yan said.
"And now?" I asked, confused.
"The five cities and ten kingdoms look like each other, and now we don't know what to do. Now that we are defending ourselves, we are just bluffing, and it is not easy to dominate us. Min Yan said.
"I heard that that force has established a new Blue Shark Country?" I asked, confused.
"The most powerful force of our Sea Clan is the Five Cities and Ten Kingdoms, and in addition to our Black Tuna City, the Five Cities also have the four cities of Black Shark City, Silver Scale City, White Elephant City and Whale City. The ten kingdoms are the Sea Dragon Country, the Blue Shark Country, the White Shark Country, the Moyuan Country, the Seven Star Country, the Ghost Ray Country, the Purple Python Country, the Golden Eel Country, the Hurricane Ao Country and the Holy Roar Country, but the Blue Shark Country and the Golden Eel Country were destroyed during the last war, and now there are two new countries, the Red Jade Country and the Green Yu Country, which have replaced them and entered the ranks of the Five Cities and Ten Kingdoms. That foreign force actually established a new Blue Shark Country on the site of the Blue Shark Country, and I don't know if it was because they wanted to become famous or if the surviving descendants of the Blue Shark Country were making trouble. Min Yan said.
"That friend of mine, Little Dream. She used to be the princess of the Blue Shark Country. I said lightly.
"Could it be that the descendants of the Blue Shark Kingdom want to regain their original status?" Mingqing put forward his opinion.
"There are actually two possibilities...... First, as you said, there may be surviving descendants of the Blue Shark Country, who slowly grew up their power and then returned. Xiaomeng, as the princess of the Blue Shark Country, got the news, of course, she came back without hesitation, and under her leadership, she established a new Blue Shark Country, wanting to revive the national prestige and regain everything that belonged to her...... "I said lightly.
"I don't think it's likely. Xiaomeng shouldn't be such a person. Chen Hao on the side said.
"Of course, there is another possibility, there is an evil and powerful force. For some ulterior purpose, they want to control the Sea Clan to complete a very important move in one fell swoop. It is possible that they released a smoke bomb. Little dreams were led by them. With this banner of revenge for the Blue Shark Country, one can confuse you, and the other can cover up them. I said lightly.
"Since it's just a pretense, why do you have to dream a little dream?" asked Chen Hao.
"Why don't you understand? If you don't have Xiaomeng's identity as a genuine princess of the Blue Shark Country, who will believe them, is it just because they have established a new Blue Shark Country?" I asked angrily.
"So that's the case, is that little dream dangerous?" Chen Hao asked worriedly.
"Either way, Xiaomeng shouldn't be in much danger. If it's the second type, they need Xiaomeng, and they have to push Xiaomeng out to prove their identity when it's critical. I said lightly.
"That's good. Chen Hao was a little relieved.
"Nazhuo noble, what are you going to do?" asked Min Yan.
"Anyway, I'm going to go to the Blue Shark Country to investigate the ins and outs of the matter. I said lightly.
"Alright, so be it. The Sea Clan is at war now, and I, as the city lord of Black Tuna City, definitely can't leave, so let Qing'er take you to the Blue Shark Country to investigate. Min Yan said.
"That's troublesome, brother. I was embarrassed.
"It's okay, it's okay. Ming Qing said with a smile.
I first went back to the inn where they had settled before, and I asked the three girls, Shen Qianmeng, Qingqing, and Mengying, to inquire about the recent situation of the Sea Clan in Black Tuna City, just in case, I asked Xiao Hei to come out and follow them. Ludy didn't have any strength at all, so I told him to stay in the inn and not mess around. I, Chen Hao, Ming Qing and the four of them went to the Blue Shark Country, the Seven Realms Sea is vast, and it took us a long time to leave the sphere of influence of Black Tuna City under the leadership of Ming Qing. Hurried until it was almost dark, and then came to a small city, the city gate was written with two big characters of Kuicheng, and Ming Qing looked at it and stopped.
"Brother Mingqing, what's wrong?" I asked, confused.
"This beast clan is attached to our Black Tuna City, and seeing that the sky is about to get dark, let's rest here for the night. Ming Qing said.
"Oh well. "We walked in together.
We walked in and went to find an inn to stay, after dinner I sat alone on the bed to practice, after entering the meditation I radiated my soul power, and found that there were many masters of the Sea Clan wandering around the hotel......
"Master, it seems that some people are spying on you. Na Lanlin said lightly.
"Something seems wrong with this. I didn't feel anything before, but now that I think about it, it's wrong. As soon as we entered the Sea Clan, we coincidentally came to the only city we had anything to do with it, Black Tuna City, and just when we doubted Mingqing's authenticity, he appeared, and then naturally met the city lord of Black Tuna City. The sea clan is in civil strife, and at such a tense moment, as the city lord of Black Tuna City, Ming Yan didn't feel any strange and inappropriate about the appearance of a few of us, and told us everything......" I said lightly.
"Or maybe the host, you're thinking too much. Na Lan Lin said.
"Maybe I'm thinking too much, but I still feel a little inappropriate about Mingqing. It stands to reason that at this time, if I propose to go to the Blue Shark Country, Ming Yan can send a few subordinates at will, or even give me a map or something, there is no need to let his son go out on an adventure for a few words from a few outsiders, he basically wants his son to die. I said lightly.
"It's kind of weird. Na Lan Lin said.
"Does this incident have anything to do with the Men in Black?" I asked faintly.
"Possibly. Na Lan Lin said.
"If it were them, there would be no need to go to great lengths to bring out Little Dream, with their power and means, they could cultivate characters like the Mask and the Man in Red, and there are countless ways to solve this matter. I said lightly.
"What does the master want to do?" asked Na Lanlin. (To be continued......)
