Chapter 436: The Ordinary Alliance of Bets on Both Sides
Pingfan League, Qingxia Hotel.
The leader of the alliance, Shangguan Wei'er, was sitting in the palatial room of the alliance leader, holding her cheek with one hand, listening to her subordinates' report on the visit to the Northland Alliance, and she naturally did not dare to despise this new force that replaced the Xishui Alliance.
As Shao Jie slowly recounted what happened in the afternoon, Shangguan Wei'er's beautiful eyes became more and more gloomy.
After Shao Jie's report was completed, Shangguan Wei'er confirmed again: "You mean, that Miss Qiu'er is also from the Northland Alliance?" β
Shao Jie replied with great certainty: "Alliance leader, this matter is absolutely true. β
He paused and asked with some concern, "It's just that we don't know which sentence provoked her and caused her to be so angry." β
Shangguan Wei'er couldn't help but scold when she heard this: "A group of stupid people." Have you been under me for so long that you don't even have the ability to see this? β
Shao Jie didn't dare to refute, waiting for Shangguan Wei'er's reprimand.
Shangguan Wei'er said coldly: "Do you think you understand women after staying in the Ordinary League for so long? Oh, what a bunch of self-righteous men. β
"I'm telling you, sometimes women don't need a reason to get angry, you don't have the eyesight to see the reason."
Shao Jie's face was full of embarrassment, and he could only whisper: "The alliance leader taught me a lesson." β
Shangguan Wei'er scolded again: "This matter is not small, but it is not big, since they did not pursue it, then even if this matter is over, I will take care of your mouth in the future, don't spit out everything that comes to mind." β
Shao Jie asked: "That kid who doesn't have a long mouth, do you want me to ......?"
Shangguan Wei'er's expression softened, and she shook her head and said, "Forget it, after all, I have been with you for so long, and now the Ordinary Alliance is also short of manpower, just give him a few mouths to remember." β
Shao Jie commanded: "Yes, I will teach him a good lesson after I go down." β
This short episode was dealt with, but Shangguan Wei'er frowned and fell into deep thought again.
Shao Jie asked tentatively, "Alliance Leader, are you worried about the Northland Alliance?" Do we want to befriend them or do we ......? β
Shangguan Wei'er shook her head and said, "It's not that simple. β
She first reviewed the information she currently had.
"The Northland Alliance will support the new heir to the throne, Xu Sheng, and compete with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and our Ordinary Alliance will also face a completely different situation because of the conflict between the two."
"If you are good friends with them, you can still be regarded as staying out of the matter, but if you are good with them, you must fall to His Royal Highness the Prince."
"But His Royal Highness the Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have not dealt with each other before, and he has not given further instructions at present, and he is also observing the situation."
Today's situation is a bit complicated, and even the big backers behind the Ordinary Alliance don't know what to do.
Shao Jie took the opportunity to express his loyalty, and hurriedly said: "Alliance leader, no matter what you command, I will definitely follow you to the death." β
Shangguan Wei'er was silent again, and after a long time, she sighed lightly and said coldly: "Since Mingdu is in chaos now, our Ordinary Alliance can only bet on both sides together." β
Shao Jie was stunned for a moment, and said puzzled: "Alliance leader, what do you mean ......?" β
Shangguan Wei'er showed an extremely serious expression: "Beidi Alliance, we can't afford to offend, that Beidi Douluo is an existence that even Kong Lao wants to give up three points." And you saw another Titled Douluo and that Miss Qiu'er today. β
Shao Jie didn't dare to interject, he rarely saw the mysterious alliance leader so jealous, the last time the alliance leader was so cautious was in the final of the Underground Soul Master Competition.
"I'm just curious why Miss Qiu'er is in the Nordic League. Shao Jie, you should remember which sect she represented in the competition before, right? Shangguan Wei'er asked.
Shao Jie replied affirmatively: "It's the Ontology Sect, and I will never forget this." β
He couldn't help but tremble when he thought of the majestic posture of the Poison Immortal Xuan Lao and the strong men of the Holy Spirit Sect when he confronted them.
Born in the Sun and Moon Empire, it was not easy for him to cultivate to the level of Contra Douluo, but he didn't even dare to take a breath of air on that kind of top occasion where Title Douluo could only barely participate in the battle, for fear that the aftermath of the high-altitude battle would affect him.
Shangguan Wei'er asked again, "Then do you know where the Ontology Sect came from?" β
Shao Jie pondered and replied: "The Ontology Sect almost escaped from the world before this competition, and the world knew very little about them, but it should be a Protector Sect from the Heavenly Soul Empire, and it won't be wrong." β
Shangguan Wei'er continued to ask: "Since Miss Qiu'er appeared in the Northern Earth Alliance, do you think there is any relationship between this Ontology Sect and the Northern Earth Alliance?" β
Judging from the map, the Far North is located in the north of the Heavenly Soul Empire, and it is very likely that there is a certain connection between the two.
"Alliance leader, are you saying that this Northern Earth Alliance may have the secret support of the Heavenly Soul Empire behind it?"
Shao Jie was a little confused about women's thoughts just now, but now he is very transparent about national affairs. He followed Shangguan Wei'er's hint and speculated, and couldn't help but take a cool breath.
The sudden appearance of Huo Qiu'er suddenly brought new variables to the battle for the throne.
Let's put aside His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first, Xu Sheng, who has the support of the Northern Earth Alliance, seems to be even more criticized.
is also colluding with other forces, and Prince Xu is naturally colluding with the Holy Spirit Sect, but now it has been cut ruthlessly.
But what the Northland Alliance may collude with is a real foreign force. If this news spreads, it doesn't need to be confirmed, it is enough to cause an uproar in Mingdu.
Behind the new emperor is also the support of the Imperial Protector Sect, which is absolutely impossible for the Sun and Moon Empire to accept. At that time, there will inevitably be a strong opposition, which will become the help of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"Alliance leader, do you want to pass the news of Miss Qiu'er's appearance in the Northland Alliance to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Shao Jie asked.
"Of course you have to tell him, but you can't let the people of our Ordinary Alliance tell him." Shangguan Wei'er nodded, "In this matter, I will ask the prince to find a few subordinates in the palace and pass the news to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." β
"As for our Ordinary Alliance, on the surface, we still have to have a good relationship with the Northland Alliance."
She thought for a moment and then instructed, "Just take the rare metal business, I'm sure no one will refuse such a temptation." β
"You are solely responsible for this matter, and remember not to be too big or too small in scale, as it should be atonement for today's rudeness."
Shao Jie nodded hurriedly: "Yes, alliance leader." β
Shangguan Wei'er seemed to remember something, and reminded in a deep voice: "This will keep my mouth in check, don't bring me that open-mouthed guy again." β
"Yes, Alliance Master."
After sending his subordinates away, Shangguan Wei'er sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, showing a confident and bewitching smile. She is a woman, and she can be like a fish in water in the underground world of Mingdu for decades, so naturally it is impossible to rely on her beauty.
β¦β¦
Sun and Moon Palace, Prince Palace.
In the study, Xu Tianran was sitting in front of the bookcase, flipping through a few documents, and asked Tangerine standing behind him, "Tangerine, have Mingdetang and the army been notified?" β
"The matters assigned by His Highness have been completed." Tangerine whispered.
She now has a feeling of being a companion like a tiger, although Xu Tianran tried to be very calm, but the yin aura on his body has been faintly emanating with the resentment in his heart, which makes her worry.
Xu Tianran is in a very bad mood now, he has been making plans to launch a coup d'Γ©tat at the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony or in advance, but he has never been sure in his heart.
No one knew how much it would cost to completely exterminate an Extreme Douluo.
And that without a coup d'Γ©tat? Compete fairly with each other at the festival and choose the best?
Xu Tianran also has no confidence, whether it is not to crush the other party's strength, the old emperor's injustice in winning the country, or the current disabled body, he is obviously at a disadvantage.
What to do?
Xu Tianran only felt that the anger in his heart was getting stronger and stronger, and he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and slammed the bookcase, and the hardwood bookcase was instantly shattered.
Tangerine watched quietly, not daring to speak, for fear of continuing to anger Xu Tianran. The current Xu Tianran is a powder keg that may explode at any time.
At this moment, the voice of the guard came from outside the study.
"Your Highness, Prince Guoli has sent someone to deliver a letterhead."
Xu Tianran took a deep breath, and the previous tyrannical image disappeared in an instant, and he regained his flat tone in front of the person: "Tangerine, bring the things." β
Tangerine commanded: "Yes." β
The letterhead was quickly delivered to Xu Tianran.
Before Xu Tianran could open it for inspection, he frowned a little unexpectedly.
Prince Xu Guoli, as one of the representatives of the older generation of the royal family, was the object of his previous conflict, and the other party would take the initiative to contact him, which he did not expect.
Xu Tianran's eyes moved quickly slightly, and he silently read the words on the letterhead in his heart. As the news on the letter paper came to his mind, the anger on his body gradually dissipated, and it turned into a burst of ecstasy.
Sensing that Xu Tianran's temperament had changed, Tangerine couldn't help but smile and asked, "Your Highness, what makes you so happy, is it because Prince Guoli chose to support you?" β
"No, it's better than that." Xu Tianran handed the letterhead to Tangerine and smiled sincerely, "Tangerine, look at it for yourself." β
Tangerine took the letter and read out the sentence above: "Huo Qiu'er, a member of the Ontology Sect, appeared in the Northland Alliance, suspecting that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's competitor has the support of the Heavenly Soul Empire behind him......"
Reading this, Tangerine also understood the reason why Xu Tianran turned his anger into joy: "Your Highness, your opportunity has come." β
Xu Tianran smiled and nodded: "Yes, colluding with the enemy country with the intention of stealing the power of my sun and moon is not punishable." β
"Tangerine, I want to spread the news in Mingdu, so that the people of Mingdu can take a good look at the true face of this national thief."
"Yes."
Xu Tianran felt that the depression in his heart had been dredged all of a sudden, and now that he had mastered the handle of the other party, he had regained control of the advantage of public opinion and the commanding heights of morality.
He suddenly remembered someone again: "Tangerine, I remember, that Huo Yuhao shouldn't have been from the Sun and Moon Empire originally, right?" β
Tangerine was stunned for a moment, and said truthfully: "Back to Your Highness, he is from Xingluo." β
"Then add more oil and vinegar, saying that they are colluding with the Heavenly Soul Star Luo, intending to support the puppets and manipulate my Sun and Moon Empire."
The corners of Xu Tianran's mouth lifted, revealing a triumphant smile.
"But the prince has seen through their tricks, and I should do the right thing for heaven and kill the national thief."
Tangerine asked worriedly, "Will the people and ministers of Mingdu believe it?" β
"If you don't believe it, you have to believe it, and if you don't believe it, we'll add another fire to him."
Xu Tianran said coldly: "No matter what means are used, we must provoke the confrontation between the people of Mingdu and the other two countries, so that our success rate will be greatly increased." β
Tangerine was stunned for a moment, but still nodded respectfully and said, "Your Highness, Tangerine is willing to go to the soup for you." β
Xu Tianran showed a satisfied smile, and his right hand clenched into a fist, as if the throne was already in his bag.
