439 Different paths lead to the same end
Knowing that Lin Yan and Lan Yue were back, Huang Ying came over as soon as possible.
It was a real surprise that the Starlight Tribe was able to solve it so quickly. At the beginning, they took strict precautions against Venus and were ready for a long time.
Who would have thought that Lin Yan and Lan Yue would be captured with their hands.
She looked at the two of them and praised with a smile: "You guys are really powerful, when the news came, everyone was surprised, and it didn't take a single soldier to add another city to the alliance, and you have made outstanding achievements." ”
"Huang Ying, I can't see it, when did your mouth become so sweet, you don't need money to say good things." Lin Yan interrupted with a smile, "Don't be poor, if you can catch Venus, Blue Moon alone is enough, I didn't even have time to make a move." ”
Lan Yue didn't think so: "You stand there, it's a credit." ”
If she hadn't been there, Venus wouldn't have been caught.
Huang Ying smiled: "You are all heroes. Venus has been brought back, where is the person? ”
She heard that he was extraordinary, and she wanted to meet him.
Lin Yan said: "Don't be in a hurry to see you, first share the information you got from him." ”
She thought for a second, "Call the aquatic life too, and the province will have to say it again." ”
Blue Moon was amazingly mobile, and immediately got up and went out, and returned with Shui Sheng in less than three minutes.
Lin Yan repeated what Jin Xing said.
Shui Sheng and Huang Ying's faces were solemn, this was the first time they had heard detailed news from the west side of Tianduan Mountain.
"It's complicated over there, what if you notice us?" Huang Ying's face was worried, "There is a Venus, is there anyone else we don't know?" ”
Lin Yan: "At present, there should not be, a Venus acts so flamboyantly, and the so-called divine envoys over there have contempt for the wasteland in their bones, feeling that they themselves are high, if they really have, they will not be so quiet." ”
Aquatic: "Coming from the wasteland is the original sin, and those people are too narrow-minded. Once they find out about the Alliance, they will plunder, and we need to be on guard. When you fight against Venus, how do you judge the strength of the oracle? ”
The unknown is the most terrifying, and through Venus, we can find out the details of the divine envoy in order to better deal with it.
Lan Yue said: "This time against Venus, he is invincible, if he didn't lie that he is a god, then we can judge by this standard." ”
Lin Yan: "I'll know when I fight with Venus." ”
Although she and Lan Yue are both A-level mysteries, there is a gap in the spiritual power of the two, and they can judge better.
Huang Ying: "It's better to let Shi Zhiye fight with Venus, and then select a few talented ones from the Xuanhui to compare, and you can feel more clearly if you fight more." ”
"Okay." Lin Yan agreed, "I'll go to Xuanhui tomorrow to find someone, it just so happens that Venus is imprisoned in Xuanhui, and it's convenient to learn." ”
After the matter was finalized, Shui Sheng turned to say: "What do you think of the nine major forces, I am quite curious about the so-called dynasties and empires, which have a long heritage, maybe you can open your eyes." ”
Seeing the light in his eyes, Lin Yan was blessed with his heart, "You want to go over there." ”
The two looked at each other and saw a similar light in each other's eyes, which was eager to try.
Huang Ying was also moved, but she still had to take into account the reality, "Don't even think about it, it's all gone, who will stay and do things?" ”
Of these three people, none of them wanted to stay.
Lin Yan and Lan Yue have always been like this, Huang Ying is not surprised at all, but Shui Sheng has always been calm, but he was the first to show it, which was really unexpected.
The three of them looked at Huang Ying in unison, staring at her scalp tingling, "What, what I'm saying is the truth, don't think about picking on her." ”
Lin Yan pursed his lips, "Some words are boring, you shouldn't know." ”
"And then, you all slipped away, leaving me alone to clean up the mess?" Huang Ying is not stupid, these people have lessons from the past, and they should always pay attention to it.
Seeing that they were going to continue, Shui Sheng changed the topic, "Okay, that's all for later, let's talk about the present first." Ning Cheng sent a letter, and the neighboring Fengcheng spies were arrested, and the interrogation revealed that Fengcheng had the intention of attacking Ningcheng. Fengcheng is a big city, and Ningcheng may not have enough troops. The garrison government asked for instructions, whether it was a passive defense or an active attack, and the arbitration court should give an instruction. ”
"Judging from last year's report, the situation in Ningcheng, Yuncheng, Pingcheng and Ancheng is not ideal, with a large population and far from enough food production. Industry and commerce are even more backward there, and there is a serious imbalance in fiscal revenues and expenditures, and it will take years to get better. It can't support a war. ”
The water ecology is clear, can you or not, it really can't hold on.
In the past few years, the Sun Alliance has invested heavily in the four cities, and under the tilt of resources, it is not enough for everyone to eat. If the fight resumes, it will only make matters worse.
Besides, it is not possible to use all the alliance's tax revenues to improve the four cities, which is unfair to the other cities of the alliance.
There is no reason why all the money you earn is used to help others.
Human nature is selfish, in the final analysis, what does the people on the other side of Tianduan Mountain care about themselves. Shui Sheng has heard the talk of the people of the city more than once.
Huang Ying hesitated for a moment, but still said: "There are many discussions about this in the city, some for it and some for it. I secretly probed it, and there were different voices among the councillors. The number of the Lord and the faction is larger, after all, most people don't understand what people who are thousands of miles away have to do with themselves, and it is not cost-effective to bother to support them. ”
Over the years, life has become richer and richer, and more people no longer only think about food and clothing, but have the heart to pay attention to other things.
In Lin Yan's words, people's ideological consciousness has improved. With the popularization of education, people are becoming more and more intelligent and know how to pay attention to the general trend of the alliance.
"So, you two don't approve of fighting either?" Lin Yan asked directly, and she also knew that Tianduan Mountain had invested a lot of resources, which caused dissatisfaction among some people.
As Shui Sheng and Huang Ying said, the vast majority of people only see the immediate gains and losses, and cannot see the long-term future.
Lin Yan can understand this, but she doesn't believe that Shui Sheng and Huang Ying will be short-sighted people.
After being silent for a while, Shui Sheng said: "I understand your intentions, in the long run, it is necessary to fight." But the actual situation does not allow it, and it is not impossible to delay it for a few years. ”
Shui Sheng has looked at the financial statistics every year, and he knows the situation in every city in the alliance very well, and he really can't support it.
At present, the four cities of Nanhai Port City, Five Rivers City and Tianduan Mountain are all with huge investment and low output, so it can be said that they rely on the support of other cities in the alliance.
What's more, there is another Star City this year, the infrastructure is extremely poor, and there is another hole to fill.
In recent years, the pace of expansion has been too fast, and the stalls are large, so it needs to be slowed down.
Huang Ying groaned: "It's not that you can't fight, but the timing is wrong." Wait a few years, take your time, take your time. Not to mention anything else, adding a Star City, it will be difficult to supply food production, and there will be no spare strength to support the side of Tianduan Mountain. We can't let others go hungry and help others. ”
Lin Yan was silent.
Blue Moon: "They are right, the timing is not right, and there is no way to go to war. She understood Lin Yan's embarrassment and the purpose she insisted on, but the reality had to be taken into account.
Three to one, Lin Yan understands that if she insists on going her own way, it is not impossible, but she can't do this, and she can't let everyone in the alliance bear the consequences for her choice.
The tight public treasury and serious fiscal imbalances are the big problems that need to be solved at hand.
She said, "Since that's the case, then we won't fight." But not an inch of the land belonging to the alliance can be given. ”
You can't expand, but you must not lose your existing territory.
The three of them all said yes, how could they give up the territory they bothered to build and govern and spend resources to build governance. Guarding the territorial integrity of the alliance is their bottom line.
The people who were secretly watching from the Arbitration Court saw that Lin Yan and Lan Yue had returned for a few days, but they had never held a meeting to discuss the affairs of Ningcheng, and they inquired around.
This is not their style, both of them are vigorous and resolute people, and when it comes to war, they must not be able to sit still.
The dark tide was surging, and Lin Yan didn't seem to notice it at all, running the Xuanhui every day to learn from Venus.
Unsurprisingly, Venus is her underdog, but he also has merit. Hand-to-hand combat is a little more fun.
The people of the Xuanhui are cultivating the unified system, and they are all groping for progress, and they are almost all in the same way.
But Venus is different, the way of fighting, the source of strength, are all new, and when you fight him, you are really fighting, and your fighting experience is rising.
Blue Moon also rubbed her fists, looking for Venus from time to time.
Gradually, Xuanhui's character became more and more delicious, and Venus was really miserable.
Every day, there are people lining up to fight him, and if he is weaker than him, he can crush him. If the strength is equal, then you have to fight wits and courage, and he can't make a dead hand, which can be described as haggard.
The most terrible thing is to meet someone who is stronger than him, and his nose is blue and swollen when he goes all out, and he has a hard time.
He had no doubt that he was the worst of the worst oracles, a completely personal punching bag, and anyone could punch him.
At this moment, there was a circle of people in the Xuanhui arena.
Venus looked at the person opposite, guessing in his heart whether he was stronger or weaker than himself.
Shi Zhi was also looking at Venus, busy and busy, when he heard that there was such a person, he reluctantly gave up his favorite research and came here, wanting to discuss with the divine envoy in person.
The onlookers were all excited, Shi Zhi's strength was known to everyone, and since he came back from Tianduan Mountain, his reputation has become even greater.
In the past few years, he has fallen silent. When you appear again, you will inevitably become the focus.
Lin Yan was also at the scene, and when she heard Shi Zhi move, she couldn't sit still anymore.
To be honest, Venus's strength is good, if it weren't for the difference in stance, he would still be a respectable opponent.
There were more and more onlookers, and Venus couldn't figure out the opponent, waiting for Shi Zhi to strike first.
Shi Zhi also had the same thoughts, and the two waited for a few minutes, still watching each other.
The crowd of onlookers couldn't wait, and I don't know who shouted, "If you don't fight, if you don't fight, say it early, it's a waste of time." ”
Then the voices of each other continued to sound.
"Shi Zhi, hurry up, beat him all over the ground to find teeth, and see how arrogant he is."
"Hands-on, whose eyes are this bigger? Or is it better than whose concentration? ”
"Fight, hide what to do, do it if you have the strength."
……
The two people who fought against each other were in a noisy noise, but they were not what they seemed.
In fact, Shi Zhi had already used his spiritual power to test several waves, but they were all quietly blocked back. He kept increasing the intensity of his temptation, trying to see how the other party was resisting.
Venus has played countless games, is full of experience, and calmly copes. He was also curious about the difference between the so-called spiritual power and the divine power of the Xuanzhi.
The two of them went back and forth, fighting in secret, which lasted for more than ten minutes.
It ended with Venus's face turning pale and taking the initiative to admit defeat.
The onlookers were dumbfounded, incredible.
"That's it?"
"What, I didn't even do anything, I just stood and stared at each other, who wouldn't."
"I thought it was an earth-shattering fight, but I didn't expect it to be so sloppy, nothing to look at, a waste of time."
"It shouldn't be like this, Shi Zhi's prestige has been heard, how can he stare at people with people's eyes?"
No matter how puzzled the onlookers were, this high-profile fight really ended before it started.
Lin Yan didn't expect this to be the result, she walked to Shi Zhi's side, crying and laughing, "You came to crush Venus with your spiritual power?" ”
"We're talking." Shi Zhi glanced at her, "Don't pretend to be stupid, others can't see that you still can't understand?" ”
"I can see it, you are crushing Venus with your mental power." Lin Yan spread his hands innocently, "What did you test out?" ”
"Divine power contains spiritual power, otherwise it is impossible to block spiritual power." Shi Zhi said with certainty.
The mysteries compete with each other and use their spiritual power to compete, and whoever has strong mental power can win. Divine power can resist spiritual power, which can be seen to have this attribute.
"I'm curious, what kind of power is divine power?"
Lin Yan was also curious, "According to my inquiry, divine power is the potential stimulation of the human body, which is a little different from ordinary force. It's more like a combination of physical instinct and mental power, don't you think? ”
To put it simply, general force is the power of a person's body, and the divine power stimulates more potential on this basis, including the potential of the brain and the mental power, which is a mixed force. That's why it's so special.
The cultivation of spiritual power by the mysticists to drive and promote the improvement of physical functions may seem to be different, but in fact, they are all the embodiment of the human body's potential.
Shi Zhi also thought so, "You found out a long time ago? ”
"It's not counting, I just watched the confrontation between you and Venus, I suddenly thought of it."
Lin Yan told the truth. In the previous competition with Venus, no one only competed for mental power, so everyone ignored this.
Seeing what Shi Zhi did, she suddenly understood what Shi Zhi wanted to do, combined with the experience of fighting against Venus, Lin Yan thought of this.
Shi Zhi nodded, "It's just a slight difference, but the essence is the same way." The mystic also has the power to fight against the divine envoys. ”
The unknown makes people frightened, and the mysteries have too little understanding of the divine envoys, coupled with the contempt in the bones of the divine envoys, it is inevitable that they will be timid. This is very disadvantageous to the mysterious, and he lost his momentum before he fought.
But after dissecting and understanding, it is different.
Even if the people of the alliance stay in the wasteland, they can't prevent the people from outside from coming in, and sooner or later they will run into each other.
Lin Yan patted Shi Zhi's shoulder, "It's still long-term, it's difficult for you to concentrate on studying, and you can still pay attention to the movements outside." ”
Shi Zhi waved her hand, "Don't wear a high hat, I can't stand it." ”
On the same day, the competition between Shi Zhi and Venus spread all over Sun City, and for this reason, the benevolent and the wise saw the wise, Shi Zhi ignored it and immersed himself in his experiment. (End of chapter)
