Chapter Ninety-Three: The Power of the Dragons
When she first came to Wangcheng, Marita was unhappy, but now after Bai Huanyu said this, Shen Mo remembered that there was such a thing, turned to look at Marita, whose face was a little complicated, and asked softly: "What the hell is going on? Shen Batian is interested in you?"
Marita sighed faintly, swept away her lively personality in the past, and said with a little seriousness: "Since the day of the war between the human race and the demon race, the world knows the strength of the dragon clan, Shen Batian ostensibly exterminated the dragon clan, but in fact, he secretly collected and controlled the dragon, hoping to use the strength of the dragon clan to resist the enemies he might face in the future. ”
After all, a big man like Shen Batian, who turned his hands into clouds and covered his hands into rain, the only one who could directly pose a threat to him was the King of Jin Yuan, he knew that he was a great master, and one day he would touch the bottom line of King Jin Yuan, so instead of being passively attacked by the enemy, it was better to prepare in advance.
Bai Huanyu sighed with emotion: "Actually, the king also knows Shen Batian's ambitions, but it is not good to act blatantly, after all, once Shen Batian is forced to Liangshan, it is inevitable that he will rebel, and then the Jin Yuan Kingdom will definitely be devastated, in case other empires take advantage of the situation, the consequences will be unimaginable; ”
Shen Batian was the only human being that Marita was afraid of, and he was a little unconfident when he even spoke: "Now, there are still a hundred giant dragons in the entire Jin Yuan Kingdom, distributed and hidden all over the Jin Yuan Kingdom, and only my father knows the exact location of those dragons; ”
Hearing this, Shen Mo finally understood why Marita was so resistant to coming to the royal city, but Shen Mo found that he and the others were not in a completely passive position, and the king of Jin Yuan also wanted to get rid of Shen Batian, which may be a turning point for himself and others.
"President Bai, what is your relationship with King Jin Yuan?" Shen Mo looked at Bai Huanyu and asked.
Bai Huanyu took a sip of tea and smiled indifferently: "It doesn't hurt to tell you, my father used to be the same as Shen Batian, he was a powerful minister under His Majesty, and Princess Weiwei and I grew up together almost since childhood; ”
"Spy?" said silently and bluntly.
Bai Huanyu nodded: "So to speak." ”
"Shen Batian doesn't know what is the relationship between you and His Majesty?" asked Shen Mo.
A smile appeared on Bai Huanyu's face: "Of course that old fox knows the Dao, but even if he knows the Dao, what can he do? There is a layer of window paper between him and His Majesty, no one dares to pierce it first, if he dares to blatantly embarrass me, he is undoubtedly declaring war on His Majesty, he is not so stupid; at most, let his waste son disgust me every once in a while." ”
Shen Mo lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said thoughtfully: "Since Shen Batian attaches so much importance to the Dragon Clan, it is enough to see the strength of the Dragon Clan, if we let the Dragon Clan submit to His Majesty, wouldn't Shen Batian have no cards to play?"
Hearing this, Bai Huanyu and Marita sighed at the same time.
Bai Huanyu said: "That being said, it's not easy to talk about; just now Marita also said that only his father knows the exact location of the remaining dragons in the Dao, and even Marita doesn't know the Dao, how can we contact the rest of the dragons? ”
Marita, who was next to her, quietly glanced at Shen Mo and Bai Huanyu, then rolled her eyes, and pretended to be careless and said: "If you can rescue my father, my father may not help Your Majesty, but he will help you." ”
These words made Shen Mo's body feel excited, but before he could be happy, the excitement in his heart disappeared, after all, it was difficult for his father to rescue Marita from the Shen family, but just when Shen Mo was about to dispel this thought, a figure suddenly flashed in his mind, this person was Shen Mo's third uncle, Shen Biqing.
After thinking for a while, Shen Mo looked at Bai Huanyu and asked, "What is Shen Biqing's status in the Shen family?"
Hearing this, Bai Huanyu was stunned: "What's the matter, you have a relationship with Shen Biqing?"
Shen Mo nodded noncommittally: "Before I came here, he went to look for me, and the reason why I was not noticed by Shen Luming was because of a pill he gave me." ”
"It seems that the people of the Shen family are not all controlled by Shen Batian, Shen Biqing's status in the Shen family is second only to Shen Batian, if Shen Biqing can help, maybe Marita's father can really be rescued; Bai Huanyu pinched the teacup, stared at the hot air, and said with some embarrassment.
After thinking for a short time, Shen Mo said, "If I ask my third uncle to help us deliver the message, just to bring out the position of the dragon clan, there won't be much of a problem." ”
As soon as these words came out, Bai Huanyu and Marita said in unison: "No." ”
Marita's face was firm: "My father will not easily tell the location of the remaining dragons. ”
Bai Huanyu said, "Are you sure that Shen Biqing is really trustworthy? If he intercepts the news and dedicates it to Shen Batian instead, not only will the fate of the dragon clan be in jeopardy, but even our situation will fall into a catastrophe." ”
Bai Huanyu's worries are not unreasonable, but there is only one way at the moment, without the help of the dragon clan, it is obviously unrealistic to use his own strength to bring down Shen Batian;
Shen Mo took a deep breath, reached out to take Marita's hand, and said: "Only you can let your father tell the whereabouts of the other dragons, you must help me, as long as we can join forces to bring down Shen Batian, Your Majesty will definitely withdraw the order to encircle and suppress the dragons, and then the dragon clan will regain its former glory, and there is no need to hide in Tibet." ”
Silence's words made Marita a little moved, after all, she had also tasted the taste of displacement over the years, and it would be good if she could end this life, but with the fate of the entire dragon clan resting on Silence, Marita was a little uncertain.
Since returning from Blackwater Village, Shen Mo had not had time to go back and change his clothes, which could almost be described as ragged, and when Marita's eyes moved to Shen Mo's healed wounds, she suddenly remembered all the things she had experienced with Shen Mo.
Not to mention the distance, just the group of Blackwater Village, the silence shows the firmness and perseverance that ordinary people rarely have, even if the strength is not good, the last one still defeats the blood demon, giving people a very reliable feeling.
Thinking of this, Marita's heart began to waver a little, and when she saw the silent and bright eyes at the end, Marita finally made up her mind to look, gritted her teeth, and said, "Okay, I'll help you! My father's side is up to me to convince you, all the hopes of our dragon clan are pinned on you, I hope you don't let me down." ”
Seeing that Marita agreed, Shen Mo was happy in his heart, and said in a sonorous tone: "Don't worry, I have no merit in being silent, and the only advantage is that I will never pit the people around me." ”
Shen Mo even persuaded Marita, and Bai Huanyu had nothing to say, and immediately said: "Since this is the case, then put the bet on your plan, recently you can prepare for the Hundred Courtyards martial arts fight with peace of mind, and I will be solely responsible for contacting Shen Biqing and other matters." ”
"I'm tired. He thanked him silently, and seeing that it was not too late, he and Marita took their leave and left for the academy.
......
In Wangcheng, in the study in the backyard of the Shen family, there was a man sitting between forty and fifty years old, although he was already middle-aged, but he had a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and he was full of evil spirits;
Shen Batian was holding a book on the art of war in his hand, and he was reading it with relish, when suddenly, a rapid knock sounded in his ears.
Knock Knock Knock ......
"Patriarch, my subordinates have something important to report. ”
Shen Batian frowned slightly, took a bamboo stick and sandwiched it in the book, put the military book on the table, his lips moved slightly, and he was full of energy, and his extremely magnetic voice sounded: "Come in." ”
With a 'squeak', a handsome man in his twenties, dressed in a white Confucian robe, walked in;
Compared with Shen Batian's son Shen Luming, who only knows the road all day long and has nothing to do, Shen Batian values Zhao Huan more, and those who don't know the way still think that Zhao Huan is Shen Batian's son.
Zhao Huan saluted Shen Batian, and said in a worried tone: "Patriarch, I just got the news from Blackwater Village that the blood demon was killed......
Hearing this, Shen Batian was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows, and said in a loud tone: "Can you find out who did it?"
Although Zhao Huan is very valued by Shen Batian, like most people, Zhao Huan is afraid of Shen Batian in his bones, because he knows that Shen Batian does not have 'seven emotions and six desires' in his heart, and once anyone loses his value, he may be abandoned by Shen Batian.
Zhao Huan swallowed his saliva and pretended to be calm: "When the blood demon was resurrected, the Golden Lion Mercenary Guild issued a five-star bounty mission, and the goal of the task was to solve the corpse tide in the Black Water Village, and the people who took over this task were the Saibei Dragon Mercenary Group and the Black Tiger Mercenary Group in the city. ”
"Where did these two mercenary groups come from?" Although Shen Batian is very well-informed, he is limited to valuable news, and mercenary groups like Saibeilong and Black Tiger can't get into his eyes.
