Chapter 3: See Assassination

After the Berlan Rose docked, the door opened, two rows of six combat robots lined up on both sides of the door, Xiao Ming and Hendrick walked out of the door together, in order to show respect, Hendrick deliberately fell behind half a position.

Behind the two of them were all the members of Team Zero, and this time everyone was not as casual as usual, but dressed in formal attire. including temporary members Spark and Solomon,

The thirty or so people walked out of the ship together, and everyone except Zuo Xin was stunned, not that there were too many people, nor that there were few people, the general envoy team ranged from thirty to sixty people, and the team of thirty people was nothing, but the problem was that the members of the Zero team who followed Xiao Ming at a glance did not look like entourage at all.

Generally speaking, a "national" envoy like Xiao Ming would bring with him five to ten vice-state officials, and then there would be various entourages such as secretaries, security guards, and so on.

But the people of Team Zero, except for the ten guards of the Sang clan, who had the temperament of a soldier and a guard at first glance, the other people were not so much members of the mission as members of the tour group, but after Iertina got off the starship, he looked around, and talked to Gu Qiusha around him in a whisper from time to time, so he didn't look like an entourage of the mission at all.

Zuo Xin was not surprised at all, he paid attention to Xiao Ming earlier, so he also knew a lot about the situation around him, and knew what the situation of Team Zero was.

"Hahaha, Xiao Ming, long time no see. I really didn't expect to meet again, it would be under such circumstances!" Zuo Nobunaga laughed, and was the first to step forward to greet Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming already knew it from Jelly, in this timeline. His communication with Zuo Xin has also undergone certain changes. At the end of the House Championship. I had a positive relationship with Zuo Xin. Later, when he was at the No. 1 Martial Arts Conference in the world, he also dealt with Zuo Xin, so the two sides were not strangers.

"Marshal Tiger God, long time no see!" Xiao Ming nodded.

"Come, let me introduce you. This is the messenger of the king of the Duchy of Xiyao, Lannos, this is the Grand Duke Chandler, and this is the Grand Duke Tanaka Yuki. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Xiao Ming, the lady of the sky who is now in the limelight!" Zuo Xin smiled and introduced everyone to each other.

Both sides greeted each other. Said a set of scene words.

I have to say that Xiao Ming changed a lot when he went back to the past, plus he broke through to the S level, and his mentality changed a lot after reaching the realm of entering the gods. He was very impatient with such a scene in the past, but now he can socialize.

"Dear Messenger Xiao, we have prepared a grand welcome dinner for you, let me lead the way for you!" Lannos said with a smile on his face.

Xiao Ming nodded: "Thank you!"

"Hey, do you feel like Mingzi has changed?" said Zhuge Tiantian behind him.

"yes, I don't think he would have handled such a thing before. Could it be that a retreat suddenly opens up?" Pierce also thought it was a little strange.

"Yes, I don't think Xiao Ming has changed!" said Solomon Lynoya.

"Women don't see the situation comprehensively, and you can't blame it. The main thing is ......" Zhuge Tiantian didn't finish speaking, and he felt a cold behind him.

"Oh, women don't see the problem comprehensively?" Sparkle stared at Zhuge Tiantian with a sneer.

Zhuge broke out in a cold sweat every day. After swallowing his saliva, he said: "But if you look closely, Mingzi hasn't changed much, I think it may be that I'm dazzled!"

Pierce blinked, "yes, yes." I don't think there's changed!" After finishing speaking, Sang Jiu on the side withdrew his terrifying gaze.

These two living treasures touched a cold sweat together.

The group drove to the place where the banquet was held, and arrived half an hour later, it was a gorgeous manor, everything was ready, just waiting for the protagonists to appear.

"Come, come, let us raise a glass to the peace negotiations brought by the messengers! Let us work together to put an end to the war. Let's toast to peace together!" I have to say that Lannos's eloquence is good, as soon as he came, he buttoned the big hat to Xiao Ming first, if Xiao Ming did not negotiate an alliance with the Principality of Xiyao later, he would be a "sinner who destroys peace", and the public opinion of the Principality of Xiyao would have to be said.

Of course, no one in the Principality of Xiyao would think that the negotiations would fail, and those who had this idea were all people from the Tianmu Empire who wore the skin of the Principality of Xiyao.

"I don't know what kind of cooperation the envoy's main intention is this time? Is it direct cooperation, or is it material and economic cooperation?" The banquet is a typical buffet form, everyone takes the food they want to eat, and then chats in twos and threes. After presiding over the opening remarks of the banquet, Lannos squeezed to Xiao Ming's side.

At this time, the two Grand Dukes Zuo Xin, Chandler, and Tanaka Xing also found Xiao Ming, and they wanted to know one of Xiao Ming's intentions before the formal negotiations, and at least finalize some things to prepare for the formal negotiations.

To put it simply, which side Xiao Ming intends to participate in on behalf of the Academy Federation and the Oriental people depends on the preliminary talks in this banquet. The formal negotiation later is more about the details.

Xiao Ming said: "I want to stop the war, but I think you should understand that if the Principality of Xiyao has enough strength, it will definitely not be counted like this." Over the course of the year, the Skydome Empire and the Plashi Federation have inflicted great damage and loss on you. With the style of the Principality of Xiyao, this matter should not be so easy to give up!"

Zuo Xin smiled coldly: "Xiao Ming, you do know us. If you don't fight back if you are beaten, that's really not our style of wanting to be in the principality!"

"Here's the problem, I'm here to stop the war, not to escalate it!" Xiao Ming said truthfully.

Zuo Xin shook his head: "In fact, even if we listen to you and don't care about it anymore, it is impossible for the Tianmu side to give up." To be honest, we still haven't figured out what each other thinks. It looks like he wants to fight with us to the end. To put it mildly, as long as the Academy Federation and the Orientals continue to remain neutral, and give us another two years, we will drag and bring down the canopy. They only have one star sector. I want to fight with us, who are in control of the three star regions. It's overwhelming!"

Zuo Xin understands Xiao Ming. What is there to say, it is useless to go around in circles.

Xiao Ming said: "I know this, but my idea is to end the war within three months. Because we have a bigger enemy!"

"Bigger enemy?" Zuo Xin paused: "You mean bugs?"

"Isn't it? During the Battle of Ponander back then, the Monument Bearers that our humans exterminated had proven that the swarm possessed some high-level existence. And the swarm has been trying to free these high-level beings from the seal all these years. After the death of the Monument Engraver, the swarm was indeed a lot quieter, but do you think that the swarm will never be activated?" Xiao Ming couldn't say a lot of things directly, so he could only say some things that were already known to everyone in this timeline.

The predecessor of the Duchy of Xiyao was the Federal Army, and some of the details of the Battle of Diponander are the most known. That's why Xiao Ming can tell Zuo Xin like this, if it is changed to the Tianmu Empire or the Prashi Federation, Xiao Ming can't say anything like this.

Zuo Xin and the other two Grand Dukes glanced at each other, and then said, "Xiao Ming, we also know what you said. But as you can see in the current situation, it's not that we really want to destroy the Sky Shadow Empire, but that they are crazy and want to drag us to the end. The Material Annihilation Bomb has been used, and I really don't know what's going on with these guys!"

Although Xiao Ming suspected that the situation in the Heavenly Curtain Empire was related to the insect swarm, there was no direct evidence, and he couldn't say anything more: "So that's what I mean." We form a powerful alliance that leaves the Skydome Empire with no chance of ending up together. But that requires you to have enough control. But what you've done before is so uncertain!"

"Xiao Messenger. Is that what the Academy and the Orientals mean?" said Chandler tentatively.

"Archduke Chandler, you only see that the Academy Federation and the Orientals are not involved in the war, and you should know our choice. If we wanted to profit in the war, we would have joined one side long ago. Or simply be neutral forever, and no one will nod their heads, then we will all get the greatest benefit, but now that I have arrived at Jiemen Star, doesn't this show our sincerity?" Xiao Ming said.

Indeed, if it is not sincere to send a person who can fully represent the opinions and political direction of his side, then there is nothing to prove sincerity.

Chandler thought that Xiao Ming was angry, and said with a little apology: "I'm sorry, Xiao Messenger, I don't doubt what you mean, but what you said can only be a general direction." We don't want to start a war and end up taking advantage of the bugs, but it's clear that the situation can't go so well. ”

Xiao Ming also knows this, if he unilaterally wants to restrain the Duchy of Xiyao, it is also an unrealistic problem, it also depends on the intention of the Tianmu Empire, if they are really completely controlled by insects, then peace talks are simply impossible. On the other hand, on the part of the Plashi Federation, the main reason why they joined the Sky Empire was to see that the Principality of Xiyao was not pleasing to the eye, after all, the parliament and the military had not dealt with each other for many years. Therefore, even if you get the Principality of Xiyao, you have to deal with the Plashi Federation again, so that you can make a powerful force that can suppress the Skylight Empire, so as to force the other party to cease the war.

Taking a step back, even if the Skylight Empire is really controlled by insects and wants to fight to the death, then the united forces of the Quartet can sweep the Skylight Empire with the power of thunder, so that it can no longer make any waves.

And Xiao Ming has only now taken the first step in this plan, can the Xiyao Empire put down its roots and make changes for the future of all mankind? Don't always think that all the people in power are people who are dedicated to the world, there will always be some guys who are short-sighted but in high positions.

"Archduke Chandler's words make a lot of sense, but before we have concrete actions, let's unify the same goal and it can be considered a perfect start!" Xiao Ming smiled lightly.

Chandler smiled as well: "That's true. If the envoy can talk about the old diehards of the Plashi Federation, it will actually be easier for us to hope for the Duchy, after all, since the independence of our three kingdoms, the confrontation between Prashi and us has always ended in failure. All we need to let go of is pride. And they're going to put it down!"

Xiyao Bus has no hatred for Plath, at least not now, because they used to press each other and beat each other. Who has ever seen the guy who beats someone have hatred for the guy who was beaten? It is the Prashi Federation that has hatred, which is why they know that the Sky Curtain Empire is not very right, but as soon as they heard the other party say that they will fight the Duchy of Xiyao together, they immediately nodded in agreement.

"Since we are all for peace, we can work together. Come, for the sake of the peace of all mankind, let's have a toast!" Lannos didn't say a word when everyone was talking about business just now, he knew that he was very lacking in this aspect, so he didn't express his opinion, and now seeing that everyone had set a general tone, he immediately began to enliven the atmosphere.

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, raised their glasses and drank together, and the first negotiation was regarded as a relatively satisfactory result.

"Oh, please give us a glass of blackcurrant!" Rannos called out as he saw the service robot with the wine glass walk by.

The completely bionic service robot turned around and walked towards Lannos, picked up a cup of blackcurrant from the tray in his other hand and prepared to hand it to Lannos.

Jelly, who had been hiding in Xiao Ming's arms, suddenly jumped out at this time: "Master, be careful, it's an assassin!"

Before Jelly's words fell, a sharp knife suddenly popped out of the service robot's wrist and stabbed Lannoth in the chest.

The sudden change frightened Lannos did not react at all, and could only watch as the sharp knife stabbed at him.

At the critical moment, a black and white light and shadow flashed, and a pair of slender fingers lightly clamped the sharp knife, and then Lannos heard a loud noise, and the service robot was kicked out by Xiao Ming.

"Master, all the robots on site have been hacked, and the network function has been turned off, and their last order is to kill all the humans here. I can't connect all the robots at the same time!" Even if the network function is turned off, Jelly can also control the robot compulsorily, but this can only be one-to-one, and now there are hundreds of service robots, and Jelly can't control it at the same time.

"Team Zero listens to orders, protects the crowd, and kills all the robots!" Xiao Ming sighed, and his voice overshadowed the entire banquet hall.

"Guards, kill all the robots and take control of the scene!" Zuo Xin said secondly. The Tiger God General was furious, his beard was open, and the sound rolled like thunder.

Here you can see the difference in strength between him and Xiao Ming, the same is the sound covering the audience, Xiao Ming's voice is clear and not vibrating, as if he is speaking in everyone's ear. But Zuo Xin's voice would be like muffled thunder, and some ordinary people were dizzy.

At this time, hundreds of service robots on the scene were already in chaos, frantically killing every living person around them. (To be continued......)
