Volume 1: The Rise of the Western Regions Chapter 34 Helping Hands
After Zhao Rang explained the situation to the princess who had confused the primary and secondary princesses, Amani breathed a long sigh of relief.
"So those 500,000 feather arrows are your purpose, and Third Master Wang is just one of them."
Zhao Rang shrugged.
He had nothing more to explain, and the rest was up to Her Highness the princess to decide.
When he was narrating just now, Amani interrupted from time to time in the question, Zhao Rang could hear that the feud between her and the fourth prince Anzuo should have nothing to do with individuals, but a fight between two tribes.
Both of their tribes have the strength to influence the situation in a country.
The current ruler is Amani's father, and she certainly wants to remain in her tribe a hundred years after her father's reign.
If you want to do this, you have to do your best to ensure the strength of your tribe, which has always been the strongest existence in the Lan Mo Kingdom.
Once overtaken by the tribe of the fourth prince Anzuo, according to the rules, the Hanxing tribe must give up the position of the head of state, otherwise it will be boycotted by all the tribes in the country. In this way, only perdination awaits them.
In this regard, Zhao Rang has some different ideas:
"Now your father is still the lord of the country, right?"
Amani nodded, looking at Zhao Rang with some confusion, not knowing what he wanted to say.
"Since your father is still the lord of the country, then he can't order the four princes and their family to be wiped out? The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, don't you have this saying here? ”
Amani shook his head bitterly.
It's not like she hasn't thought about it.
As long as a woman is ruthless, the methods she comes up with are definitely ruthless tricks to cut the grass and eradicate the roots!
In Amani's eyes, her father, the current ruler of the country, is too gentle to lead to the current situation.
On the other hand, Zhao Rang is a Dawei person after all. Recently, although he has some understanding of the habits and pattern of the Western Regions, when he thinks about things, he still unconsciously deviates from the mindset he has always had.
If the current lord really gave an order as he said, it would definitely arouse the resentment of the Gongchen tribe, and if it was not done well, the Lan Mo Kingdom would fall apart.
"Zhao Gongzi, if the method you said is effective, then why is Dawei now also divided into north and south? What is the difference between the Chen family in the south and the Gongchen tribe where Anzuo is located? ”
Zhao Rang was speechless for a moment......
When talking about other people, it is the first thing to say, and it is extremely happy. But if you think about it, isn't it the same for the great power where you are?
Fang Cai's words were just on paper, fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter!
"Anzuo's father served as the ruler of the late Lan Dynasty, which is equivalent to the prime minister of your great power, and he has already covered the sky for national politics, if they get these feather arrows again......"
The reason why the Hanxing tribe was able to suppress the Gongchen tribe was because of the "right of first refusal" in the business alliance.
To put it bluntly, this right is the right of whoever can buy something first. But for a large tribe, this right represents a monopoly on some important resources!
For example, the beauties of Dawei Nandi, such as the iron tools obtained by various means.
The Hanxing tribe has mastered these scarce resources, and can also wage war and trade with the other three major tribes in the Upper Four Kingdoms in the Western Regions, so as to make its own power stronger and stronger, and at the same time, it can also steadily suppress the Gongchen tribe and make it slowly decline.
But no one expected that the generation of the Gongchen tribe would have such a character as Anzuo!
As a prince, he enjoyed many privileges.
But he never used these privileges for pleasure, but instead was fully busy with the growth of his tribe.
Rushing alone, Amani also admires him!
Compared to his three brothers who only know how to eat, drink and have fun...... I don't know how many times stronger!
No matter how much they admire, they can't change each other's positions.
Neither of them is wrong, and the only way to blame is the strange system pursued by the countries of the Western Regions!
"At present, my father is in poor health...... Recently, he often has a high fever to the point of coma. ”
"At the beginning, Anzo also came to greet and visit every once in a while. But gradually, as if he saw that his father's life was about to end, his face was slowly exposed. ”
"Now that both of them, father and son, have left the royal city and returned to the tribe, they have begun to disobey my father's royal orders, and they almost do not listen to the dispatch."
Amani spoke calmly about the undercurrents surging in the city of the King of Late Ranth, as if he were telling a story from a book.
After listening to this, Zhao Rang also had a deeper understanding of the current situation in the royal city, but in the final analysis, none of this had anything to do with him.
What's more, in the struggle for the position of the lord of another country, what role can Zhao Rang play as a newcomer? I can only listen to it. Anyway, it's better to know than not to know, the more you know, the more comprehensive and profound your understanding of the situation will be, and at the same time, you can make the "scale" of your actions clearer.
Whether it is the fourth prince Anzuo or the princess Amani, they just treat Zhao Rang as an outsider. Of course, there is a lot to say about outsiders, even if it is to pour out all the secrets in one go.
Because sooner or later outsiders are leaving, everyone is only getting together for the sake of temporary benefits. When the matter is over, of course, the road is facing the sky, and each side is gone.
Take 10,000 steps back, even if Zhao Rang always stands on the sidelines and stands with his arms crossed, there is nothing to be done on either side.
It's hard to drag an outsider into the water, or even tie it to your own sails.
None of us are people who can daydream big, and there is no reason to talk about this.
Even if Zhao Rang felt that what he said was reasonable, it had nothing to do with him.
In the final analysis, it depends on what substantial benefits the princess can come up with.
As for the other side, the attitude of the fourth prince Anzuo has been very clear. Third Master Wang was highly poisonous, which could be regarded as an extremely clear threat, and he used this to warn Zhao Rang and Yuan Mingkong to behave themselves and not to gain an inch.
This is a very clear bottom line, if Zhao Rang and others cross it, it will mean that the warning of the fourth prince Anzuo is useless, and this is an iron determination to be an enemy.
After thinking about it in his heart for a long time, Zhao Rang felt that this matter still came down to the attitude of Her Royal Highness the princess towards how she wanted to deal with the 500,000 feather arrows.
For her and the fourth prince Anzuo, these feather arrows are treasures that are difficult to give up. No matter which tribe on both sides gets it, it will definitely be able to steadily overpower the other party in the next ten years or so.
"Zhao Gongzi?"
Amani saw that he had said so much, but Zhao Rang still didn't say a word, and he was also a little anxious.
If you delay for a few more moments, things will be more variable.
"Her Royal Highness is finished?"
Zhao Rang stretched his arms and yawned, as if he was extremely dull and a little drowsy.
This attitude made Amani very annoyed, and said with a cold face:
"I don't know what else Zhao Gongzi wants to hear."
Zhao Rang casually picked his ears, rubbed his nose again, and only said after a while:
"Her Royal Highness the princess only said that she didn't want the fourth prince Anzuo to get these feather arrows, so where should these feather arrows go? You didn't say a word! ”
Zhao Rang looked at Amani with a smile after speaking.
Amani's chest heaved and heaved, and his eyes were about to flare.
She thought that after saying so much, Zhao Rang should have been trapped by herself a long time ago, and she should happily agree to come down and be a pawn for herself.
And she and her father only need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and when both sides are almost exhausted, they will intervene horizontally and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
But Zhao Rang didn't eat this set at all, whether it was tempting with beauty or using the so-called "righteousness of the family and country", Zhao Rang was fundamentally moved.
He stared at the 500,000 feathered arrows, and it was useless to say anything else.
Amani stroked his chest, calmed down a little, pointed to the glass wall on the side, and said:
"Zhao Gongzi, don't forget that Miss Yuan is still here!"
The corners of Zhao Rang's mouth hooked.
It's not okay to see soft, just tear your face and threaten!
It's a pity that Zhao Rang is not afraid of this.
It even makes him a little excited!
"It seems that Her Royal Highness the Princess has no sincerity at all, so there is no need for us to continue talking!"
Before the last word had completely fallen, Zhao Rang stood up suddenly, and his body turned into an afterimage.
By the time the guards behind Amani reacted, the man who was holding Zhao Rang's knife earlier was already lying on the ground.
And the knife was already in Zhao Rang's hand.
The blade rested on the neck of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
"What else does Her Highness have anything to say?"
Just now, Amani used Yuan Kexin to threaten Zhao Rang, but now Zhao Rang is using her own life to level the situation and make a judgment.
With the knife in hand, Zhao Rang was fearless.
What's more, with a princess under his blade, those guards didn't dare to act rashly at all.
"Zhao Gongzi must be like this?"
Amani asked rhetorically.
Zhao Rang used his other hand, dipping the little wine that was still left in the wine glass, and drew a feather arrow on the table.
"Oops, the arrow shaft is crooked......"
"But it's okay, Her Royal Highness the princess can understand it!"
This was the last chance he gave to Her Royal Highness the Princess.
If she relents, there will naturally be talk.
Amani glanced at what Zhao Rang had drawn on the table, then slowly closed his eyes with an expression of death.
Zhao Rang waited for a moment, but still sighed.
The blade deflected and swung towards the glass wall on the side.
"Whoa!"
The glass shattered, as if it was raining heavily in the house!
The guards behind Amani hurriedly rushed forward and used their bodies to help Her Royal Highness resist the impact of the glass fragments.
When he came to slow down, he saw the guards who had been guarding behind Zhao Rang lying on the ground with the door wide open.
"Your Highness, do you want to ......?"
The chief guard made a gesture to wipe his neck.
Amani shook his head:
"Go back to the palace, I'm tired too!"
The chief guard was a little confused, and felt that it was too cheap to let Zhao Rang go like this!
As everyone knows, Amani's mood at the moment is very happy!
