Chapter 255: Fire Mine (2)
That night, Mo Cong and the two princesses stayed in the palace, and even though the accommodation and meals arranged for them were of the highest level, the faces of the three of them were still dull.
"Right now, the Fire Domain is in charge, the old king should have no real power, I don't think tomorrow's court discussion will have any meaning, the king of a country sells some minerals to us, it is understandable, even if he refuses to trade with our Sea King, then at least he should give your elf princess a face." And we can offer the highest price. Kakashi paced back and forth in the room, expecting that Princess Koto would come forward and solve the matter smoothly, and the next thing was to hand over the money to the Fire Domain, waiting for the workers to mine the "Star Crystal" so that she could sit at home and receive the goods, but she didn't expect that things were not as simple as she expected.
"It's not a matter of price," Mo Cong took a sip of tea and said with a calm face: "Tomorrow, let's take a look at the situation first, I don't think I'll use the knife if I can't figure it out." ”
"This must have something to do with my mother's early death, and now before she died, she put the source of the holy fire of the Fire Domain into my body, so that my grandfather's strength was almost zero, and then the Elven Land fell, and the Fire Domain also suffered the baptism of war, so whoever has the power of the army in his hands has become the biggest threat to the royal power. Don't look at it, Mo Cong, you hurry back and transfer your army. Kakashi and I stayed behind to deal with them first. Qin looked at Mo Congdao.
Hearing this, Kakashi took broken steps, walked up to Mo Cong, put his arm around Mo Cong, looked at Qin with a smile, and said, "I'll go too!"
"What are you going to do?" Qin said in surprise, "You're leaving, how can we negotiate the price with others?"
Kakashi raised his hand and said, "It's all up to you, you can give as much as you want, I have as much money as I want." ”
Seeing this, he furrowed his eyebrows and glared at Kakashi, "Princess Kakashi, this is a matter of your Sea Kingland, what do you mean, Kakashi?"
"I'm scared!" Kakashi said with a shy bow, "It's too complicated here"
"What are you afraid of?" Qin said angrily: "What does it matter to you whether it is complicated or not, and besides, with me here, what are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid of you, I'm not afraid of you," Kakasinu muttered with red lips, his voice pitiful.
"What are you talking about?" Koto's eyes widened and he looked at Kakashi for a moment, then sneered, and said helplessly, "You're afraid I'll hurt you!" What do you think, we used to be good friends, but now we're sisters, why should I hurt you, you're still a princess, I don't understand this reason. Let me tell you the truth, the reason why I let you stay is that I am afraid that you will follow Mo Cong to get in the way and delay things, tomorrow we will talk to them in the name of your Sea King Land, to see who is monopolizing the government, whether the negotiation is inappropriate or not, first stabilize what they are saying," Koto said, stepped forward and poked Kakashi's forehead lightly, and asked, "Do you understand?"
"Huh?" Kakashi winked at Koto twice, then looked at Mo Cong, and said pitifully, "Mo Cong"
Mo Cong nodded and said, "Qin makes sense, you can stay!"
"Alright then!" Kakashi nodded reluctantly, muttered for a moment, and whispered to Mo Cong, "If you come back and find me dead, you must not blame Princess Koto." ”
"Okay, Mo Cong, you can take her away quickly! lest she get in the way here!" Qin Wuyang raised his hand, his face quite impatient.
"Huh!" Kakashi smiled slightly, disdainfully, "Just kidding you, this princess is not as cowardly as you think." ”
"Come on, don't pretend to me, I don't know you yet, you squirrel. ”
"Hee-hee!" The secret was revealed at once, and Kakashi blinked and said, "Sister Jean, you must protect me, it's such a mess here." ”
"I eat and sleep with you, and the reincarnation of grains also accompanies you, now you are satisfied!"
"That's pretty much it. Hearing this, Kakashi finally relented.
"Hey, I said Princess Kakashi, why are you so scared? Don't you have so many personal guards?" Jean asked, puzzled.
"You don't understand this, it's so chaotic here, if other soldiers press in, my guards are a hairy! Princess Ben doesn't even have a descendant, but she doesn't want to die here." ”
Hearing this, Qin smiled and said, "Ha! Mo Cong, you heard it, this is what she said in her heart." ”
"I see, don't make a fuss, I see, I'll take my little snow beast and go, so as not to alarm them. ”
"Wonderful, so that tomorrow we will say that you have suddenly fallen ill, and go back to the ship to recuperate, so that no one will suspect it. Jean smiled slightly.
"That's the best, but," Kakashi thought for a moment and said, "I really have to arrange for someone to pretend to be sick on the ship, and if anyone wants to see it, they can say that they are contagious and can't see people, so that if Mo Cong can't come back in time, it can also be used as a way for you and me to get out." ”
"Great idea!" Jean nodded at Kakashi.
The three of them were discussing in the house, and Xiaoqing, who was guarding the door outside, suddenly walked in and reported: "Master Ma, two princesses, there is a person outside who said that he was Princess Qin's uncle, and said that he had something important to ask to see Princess Qin." ”
Hearing this, the three of them looked at each other and saw that it was not early outside, and it was already nearly two watches.
"It's so late, there must be something important to discuss with you!" Mo Cong looked at Qin Dao.
"It should be, let him in first and see how it goes. Qin said softly to Xiaoqing: "Let him in!"
"Yes!" Xiaoqing bowed, turned to leave, and after a while, led a man into the door.
The man looked flustered, and as soon as he entered the door, he knelt on the ground, as if he had been greatly wronged, and burst into tears, crying: "Nephew, Master Ma, you can help my father and me!"
The man is similar in height to Mo Cong, his body is slightly thin, he looks like a person in his fifties, thick and big eyes, those big eyes are really similar to Princess Qin, the high nose bridge, a thick one-word beard is particularly eye-catching, and he is wearing a vermilion brocade, which looks a little solemn and majestic.
Qin looked at the visitor, although he hadn't seen him for many years, he recognized at a glance that it was indeed his own maternal uncle, and saw him snot and tears, with a sad face, thinking that he had been bullied by the minister, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and said: "Uncle doesn't have to be like this, if you have anything to say, I will try my best to help you if I can do it." ”
"Nephew," the visitor stood up, sighed in his mouth, and said with a sad face, "You are here, my father and I are like looking forward to the stars and the moon, looking forward to your coming every day." ”
"Uncle, don't say that, we should give you a big gift, we are our own family, it's all my fault, I can't take care of you for a while" Princess Qin said, looking at her maternal uncle in front of her, thinking of her grandfather's current situation, tears rolled in her eyes.
"Uncle, sit down and talk!" Mo Cong bowed and hurriedly gave in.
Qin Guang patronized the sadness, forgot the etiquette for a while, and when she heard the words, she hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, uncle, sit down and talk." ”
"Jade, pour tea!" Princess Kakashi maintained her authority and ordered Tama in the house.
Yu'er and Wan'er didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly brought tea to the visitor.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, don't dare to be, nephew, you are too polite. The person who came gave in and reluctantly sat down.
Mo Cong and Princess Qin sat down across a coffee table. The visitor looked down at the cup of tea, but did not move, shook his head and sighed bitterly: "Nephew, Master Horse, you must be the master for us!"
Qin and Mo Cong hurriedly held on, Qin said: "Uncle, you are an elder, don't be like this, now that Mo Cong and I are here, no one dares to bully you and grandpa, just say, now we are in power, we will definitely help grandpa take back the royal power." ”
"Nephew," the visitor sighed, "Alas! it's hard to say! I'll tell you briefly!"
Koto looked at Kakashi and the two personal girls, nodded and said, "There are no outsiders here, if my uncle has anything to say, you can rest assured." ”
"That's good!" When the person heard this, he was also relieved, and said: "Since your mother died, in the past hundred years, the Fire Domain has experienced too many tribulations, first rebelled against the party, and then there was a war, and finally the war ended, there was a split within the court, and the power of my father had long been hollowed out.
"Who is so bold?" Jean Nu asked.
The person who came lowered his head and muttered for a long time, there seemed to be an unspeakable hidden, and after Princess Qin asked hard, he hesitated and said: "Nephew, I really don't know how to tell you about this, since I am asking you for help, I will not hide it, alas!" Another bitter sigh, came to the humane: "After the end of the war, my father originally wanted to make me the crown prince, who knows, your second uncle colluded with the powerful ministers in the court, and forced me down. If it weren't for a group of old ministers standing on the side of me and my father, I'm afraid that my life and that of my father would not be guaranteed. ”
"That's it!" Hearing that this matter involved his two maternal uncles, Qin was a little difficult, and it was difficult to weigh the back of his hand.
The person who came looked at Qin's face and sighed: "Alas, I also know that this matter makes you embarrassed, and we will solve our affairs by ourselves," the person who came was slightly disappointed, his eyes shook from side to side, and after thinking about it, he smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle heard that you are here for the matter of 'star crystallization', and now my uncle has no power in his hands, and he can't help you much, but I still have two minerals in my hands, if you don't dislike it, my uncle is willing to sell them to you," said the person who came with a red face and said ashamedly: " Originally, my uncle should have given those things to you, but now my whole family is waiting for me to feed them, so"
Hearing this, Kakashi's eyes flashed, and he secretly said in his heart: "As long as there is goods, it is the same to give money to anyone, so that this princess can get out quickly, so as not to be implicated by the sword soldiers" In his heart, Kakashi and Koto glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Uncle, you don't have to be polite, you can say the price." ”
"Ahh
Qin knew that the "Star Crystal" was rarer than gold, and it was a necessary thing to build a high-level battle armor, so his uncle was embarrassed to speak, so he said: "Uncle don't be embarrassed, if Uncle has it, we need 20,000 taels, and the price will be doubled." ”
"Huh?" The man who came was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Princess Qin to be so happy, and then his face showed embarrassment, and he frowned and said: "The price is no problem, it's only 20,000 taels, this amount is a bit big, you know, the 'Star Crystal' has always been sold to the Heavenly King, under their control, you want so much at once, I'm afraid it will arouse their suspicion!"
"This"
Hearing this, Mo Cong and his two wives' faces suddenly became solemn, this is the key to the problem, if the secret of the Sea King Land Divine Beast is revealed at this moment, once it is in the ears of the Missionary Heavenly King, the plan will be completely frustrated. But if you can't say a reason at this moment, I'm afraid that the "star crystallization" will be difficult to get. Therefore, the three hesitated.
