Chapter 135: Small Talk
What the old man said was in line with the thoughts of everyone present, and everyone looked at the eldest prince and waited for the other party to make a choice.
The eldest prince thought for a moment and said slowly.
"My brother has always been cautious in his work, and it may not be easy to make him make mistakes."
Hearing this, everyone present sighed unconsciously, only the old man smiled.
"I heard that Prince Yin went to the elf clan to kidnap the elf princess in order to obtain the fountain of life, and even made some mess in the imperial capital, why don't we use this matter to make a fuss?"
The eldest prince's gaze passed, but the look of confusion on his face obviously did not understand what the other party meant.
Seeing this, the old man continued slowly.
"There is no bottom line in the struggle for power, as long as we can pull the other party down and kill someone, what is it, as long as we can use this matter to provoke a war between the elves and the empire, the person who can become the commander is none other than His Royal Highness, when the time comes, we not only have military power, but also can take this opportunity to make contributions, as for the Yin prince, he will also take back his rights because of the emperor's displeasure, so why don't we kill two birds with one stone?"
The eldest prince's eyes gradually lit up, and his face showed joy, and after thinking about it for a long time, he felt that this method was indeed feasible, so he let everyone present begin to discuss how to plan this matter.
But as the discussion deepened, everyone present was embarrassed to find that the elves were a self-sufficient race, and they did not have much intersection with humans.
As for taking the initiative to provoke, it is even more impossible, because the elves hide in the elven forest, which is not only densely forested, but also vast and boundless, and it is even more difficult to find a place for the elves to live.
Because of this, everyone present suddenly became helpless, and the eldest prince's eyes also showed a look of annoyance.
"Speaking of which, you still can't help it, isn't the plan just now all empty talk?"
Everyone didn't dare to talk, and lowered their heads, but only the old man who spoke before said with a smile.
"Your Highness, have you forgotten the Chishui River?"
"Chishui River?" The eldest prince didn't understand what the old man meant, and asked, "What does this have to do with the elves?" ”
The old man smiled lightly and explained, "The Chishui River is the main artery that runs through the Chiyan Continent, this river not only feeds our Ziming of the Chiyan Continent, but also nourishes the elven people, why don't we block the Chishui River, or throw poison into it, if the elves find out, they will inevitably take people along the river to check, and when the time comes, we can ambush a few near the river and catch a few back?" ”
The eldest prince's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "This method is good, but the Chishui River is wide, can we lure the elves out." ”
"Your Highness, don't worry, I know a mage, his achievements in potions are unparalleled, as long as we are willing to spend a lot of money to invite him out of the mountain, presumably this matter will be settled, when the time comes, as long as we catch the elves, and then use the magic to control the mind, won't we be able to solve the current problem."
The more the eldest prince listened, the more excited he became, and praised, "Or the Marquis of Byron has a way, and now the plan will be done according to your method, and the personnel transfer is at your disposal." ”
The Marquis Byron did not shirk, and after thanking the eldest prince, he began to assign tasks, some of them were responsible for secretly going to the mercenary union to deliver news, some people organized people to go to the upper reaches of the Chishui River, and the rest of the people also had their own tasks, and they began to act under the mobilization of Byron's shrewd thinking.
Xiao Qiang has been a little idle these days, after solving the matter of Yan Ji, he took Erha to wander around Chiyan City, as for why he didn't leave immediately, in fact, he was still worried about the angel corpse and the divine core in his heart, so he didn't leave immediately.
Although he had a conflict with the dry bones in the process and stood on the opposite side, but with the constraints of the contract, coupled with the dry bones, Xiaoqiang did not think that the other party would lose his words, so he waited for a few days with nothing to do to see if the situation would change.
In this kind of idle day, there are more mercenaries in leather armor in Chiyan City, and they roam the streets and alleys giggling, looking like a festival.
This kind of anomaly not only made the people in Chiyan City curious, but even Xiao Qiang was puzzled for a while, so he took the opportunity to talk to the mercenaries and inquired, only to understand that the mercenary guild in Chiyan City had issued a special mission, and the price was extremely high, which attracted countless mercenaries.
Curious, Xiao Qiang took Erha into the headquarters of the mercenary union, as soon as he entered the door, a heat mixed with the smell of sweat came to his nose, so smoked that Xiaoqiang almost didn't faint, and finally got used to the smell, he covered his mouth and nose and walked into the mercenary union.
Children like Xiaoqiang usually don't come to this place, except for the five big and three thick strong men, there are some women dressed energetically, they drink beer and talk highly, and the atmosphere is a bit like a bar in the previous life.
It's just that there will inevitably be contradictions during the period, and as for the way to solve the contradictions, of course, it is a duel, which is also one of the conventions of mercenaries.
At this time, several mercenaries were noisy, and after a few breaths they heard the sound of turning over the table, and the others were no longer surprised by such things, still drinking delicious beer and talking about their own business.
Xiao Qiang was attracted by the noise, so he looked over and saw that the mercenary who had clashed turned out to know Steve, who was together before.
At this moment, Steve was confronting another group of people, and he seemed to be very angry when he saw the bulging tendons.
Drilling into it from the crack of the person, listening attentively for a while, Xiaoqiang understood the reason for the matter, it turned out that the mercenary at the table wanted to invite Milan to drink, but Steve, as a companion, was naturally unwilling, so the two groups of people clashed, and this made a fuss.
"Steve, don't be embarrassed, don't you just invite Milan to have a drink, what is your name?"
Steve said angrily, "Milan is unwilling, you still want to do it, I think you have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, dare to tease our captain in front of me, today I will let you taste my fist." ”
As he spoke, Steve was about to make a move, and the mercenaries on the opposite side were all old fritters and where would they be afraid, so the conflict suddenly looked like a fight, when a waiter from the mercenary union hurriedly squeezed into the crowd and warned.
"Everyone, this is a mercenary guild, please go outside to settle your grievances."
Everyone present seemed to be in awe of the mercenary union, and did not do it immediately, but it was the ridicule and ridicule between words that made everyone come to the outside of the mercenary union, obviously this matter is not over.
Xiaoqiang walked out with the flow of people, because of his short stature, and Milan could all their eyes on Steve, so no one noticed his appearance.
Until the two groups of people started the formation, Steve did not hesitate to attack, the huge fist brought a gust of strong wind, the mercenary on the opposite side did not panic, and also attacked with a straight fist, and Stevie's fist collided fiercely.
