The moment Ying Ruoying stopped, Zhang Wu's heart was finally ...... Half of it fell.

Rightfully not quite settled. Because there are still great variables, or rather, the show is just about to start!

The eldest princess has never been a person who can think with common sense.

As the head of the Secret Agent Bureau, Zhang Wu's comprehensive and in-depth research on the eldest princess can be called a leader in the entire Great Qin Empire, and he is even confident that he can beat Li Qin in the "100,000 Whys Knowledge Contest about the Eldest Princess"!

Summarizing the research results of many years, Zhang Wu believes that the character traits of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess can be roughly summarized into the following two points: the first is the law of conservation of anger, her anger will never disappear, but will only be presented in another way, so for her, anger is a false proposition, and the only way out is to transfer her anger to others.

The second is to never think that you really know the eldest princess, the eldest princess's personality has a completely unpredictable chaos and change, she especially hates herself being pondered, so when people finally find a pattern through long-term observation, she will change to you in the next second. And this was summarized by Zhang Wu as the principle of the eldest princess's inaccuracy.

Therefore, Ying Ruoying stopped at this time, which did not mean that Zhang Wu was safe, on the contrary, it was likely to be just the calm before the storm, so Zhang Wu must seize this short period of peace and say everything he has to say.

And then relied on these words to completely turn the tables.

This matter is about Zhang Wu's life, but it is not very important, he has put life and death aside long before he acts.

But this matter is also about whether the Immortal Tree can return to the overall strategic situation of Great Qin - with the influence of the eldest princess in the empire, if she opposes one thing with all her might, there is a high probability that that thing will really not be done.

However, for such a major event, we have to hope for a short paragraph.

This is a real word!

Prior to this, Zhang Wu had already made a deduction on how to use a paragraph to convince Ying Ruoying, who had both the law of conservation of anger and the principle of uncertainty detection.

The battle situation in southern Xinjiang is the best entry point, but it is not enough to just cut into the topic, and he must not continue to expand on this topic.

As an ordinary lobbyist, it is likely that she will continue to persuade the eldest princess to have mercy on the lives of the soldiers in southern Xinjiang, which has indeed suffered heavy casualties in the past few months.

However, this program is outright suicidal.

Ordinary front-line generals, when their subordinates suffer heavy casualties, may indeed have the idea of retreating, thinking that they can't let these people who trust them to follow their birth and death die in vain.

But Ying Ruoying's character is: the dead must not be sacrificed in vain, if this battle cannot be won, then it is better for everyone, including herself, to die on the battlefield!

If this kind of character is invested and operated, the result will naturally be Zhu Junshen's second, but as a general of the army, he has to admit that it can often have miraculous effects. The eldest princess's reputation in the Southern Xinjiang Army is skyrocketing, not because she loves soldiers like children, but because she is very good at fighting tough battles and winning battles, especially good at finding possibilities in the impossible. Although the southern Xinjiang is now in a stalemate, the situation is far from being irreparable, and convincing the eldest princess with the topic of human sacrifice is actually questioning and even insulting her ability.

That, of course, is a suicidal act

The reason why Ying Ruoying stopped was because Zhang Wu's sentence contained another important message.

This is also something that Zhang Wu must expand in detail to convince the eldest princess to believe.

"Without the suppression of the Immortal Tree, there will be no end to the expansion of the Spirit Realm, and in another half a year, not to mention the Southern Frontier Army, even if the Praetorian Guards of White Night City and the Holy Flame of the Valley of Glory are all gathered in Southern Xinjiang, it will be useless, the Empire will lose one-fifth of its territory forever, and even the central hinterland will always be threatened by the Barbarian Spirit!"

Ying Ruoying didn't interrupt Zhang Wu, but the expression on her face was obviously unmoved.

Zhang Wu's theory is absurd.

No academic theory in the Eastern and Western Continents would support his inference - otherwise, the Great Qin Empire would not have expelled the Immortal Tree Organization in the first place, let alone sit back and watch Bai Xiao kill the roots of the Immortal Tree back to the Void Realm in the border county.

If the empire knew that the Immortal Tree and the spirit world were so closely related, the brain would have entered the water and the Immortal Tree would be completely expelled.

But on the other hand, after the immortal tree left the Western Continent, the changes in the battlefield in southern Xinjiang were experienced by Ying Ruoying.

It's really weird and unreasonable.

In the past ten years, due to the addition of the eldest princess, the empire has actually taken the initiative on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang, and the barbarian spirit has been defeated and retreated, and the rainforest area has been continuously reclaimed into fertile farmland by the empire...... Even if there is an occasional big counterattack, it will soon retreat under the leadership of the eldest princess.

After that, the Southern Xinjiang Legion received unexpected support from Wu Zhu of the Snow Mountain, and the situation became more optimistic, and the life and death cycle of the most troublesome barbarian spirit in the past was directly broken by Wu Zhu, and it could no longer be resurrected, and the endurance was greatly reduced, so the Southern Xinjiang Army also took advantage of the victory to pursue and advanced the battle line to an unprecedented depth.

After that, although it experienced the twists and turns of detonating the spirit pool, in general, the overall strategic situation has not changed.

It wasn't until Bai Xiao was in the border county that he completely drove out the immortal trees in the Western Continent, and the situation in southern Xinjiang deteriorated to the point of no further overnight.

The power of the Barbarian Spirit is increasing day by day, and no matter how many spirits the Southern Frontier Army kills, or even cooperating with Lan Lan to destroy part of the Spirit Realm, it cannot stop the rise of the Barbarian Spirit.

In southern Xinjiang, the spirit of the barbarian expanded dramatically like a plague, and even a powerful combination of the two great masters and the Snow Mountain Wuzhu could only stop the boiling and barely maintain the battle line.

Under such a situation, it is really impossible to pay some attention to Zhang Wu's absurd inference.

No matter how ridiculous it is, at least it's a family's words.

However, if it is just the words of the family, and there is no stronger evidence, then Ying Ruoying will not be merciful.

The bloody war in southern Xinjiang for several months, during which there were not no capable people who came to offer advice and solve their worries, and those who came did not refuse, all of them were captured and tested on the front line, and if they succeeded, they were naturally rewarded, and if they failed, they would not even be issued an extra silver dollar for the pension. For Zhang Wu, Ying Ruoying also has the same plan.

Zhang Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Because then comes the part he is best at and the most prepared.

Demonstrate the connection between the spirit world and the tree of immortality.

Of course, Zhang Wu is an academic expert, and his theoretical attainments can barely support his own cultivation, so he is not good at purely academic discussions.

He specializes in data collection and analysis.

"20 years, 58 years, 189 years, 234 years, 441 years in the holy calendar...... 1942, 2019. Your Highness, you should have the impression that this string of numbers is the history of the destruction of the Immortal Tree in the Western Continent. Huang Buming once used this string of numbers to convince the original poem in Hongshan City, and I found out later that he was not lying. At the same time, another peculiar coincidence was also discovered, whenever the immortal tree fell, there would be a natural disaster in Nanjun within five years before and after, and the historical records of the early years were somewhat vague, so I can't be sure, but at least the two immortal trees in the past hundred years were destroyed, and then they were accompanied by the collective turmoil of the barbarian spirit. ”

After a pause, Zhang Wu raised his gaze slightly to observe Ying Ruoying's reaction.

Not to observe her anger, but to confirm that she has a sufficiently detailed understanding of the history of Nanshire.

It turned out that Zhang Wu was too worried.

Although the eldest princess has always given the impression of being vigorous and resolute and known for her martial arts, in fact, in her girlhood, she was known for her profound knowledge and well-read.

And then as she got older, the girl's heart gradually changed, but the habits of the early years were not abandoned, and she would still keep reading books in addition to fighting and killing.

Of course, she knew very well the history that Zhang Wu said, and when she first came to southern Xinjiang, she had already done her homework.

It's just that before that, she didn't connect the natural disasters in southern Xinjiang with the destruction of the Immortal Tree.

Zhang Wu saw that the eldest princess's face was not moving, so he continued.

"If there are only these two sets of figures, it is obviously not convincing enough, but when the situation in the Eastern Continent is also taken into account, the conclusion is obvious. First of all, of course, His Highness knows the mirror theory of the eastern and western continents, that is, the two continents are highly similar in all aspects, geographical environment, ecological environment, etc., there are snow-capped mountains in the north on both sides, and the fertile fields under the snow-capped mountains also have rainforests in the south...... However, there is no barbaric spirit in the Eastern Continent, so the Shengyuan Empire has more fertile soil than us, and its national strength is naturally superior. And we all know that the Shengyuan Empire is the base camp of the Immortal Tree, and that big tree whose body is located in the Void Realm is flourishing in the Eastern Continent!"

Zhang Wu paused, and then said: "My academic ability is limited, and I can't explain all this from the essence level, but at least the phenomena I have seen are enough for me to make inferences. And the precariousness of the war situation in southern Xinjiang is enough for me to take the inference as a conclusive conclusion to gamble, let the immortal tree return, and resolve the crisis in southern Xinjiang. ”

After speaking, Zhang Wu raised his head and greeted his end.

Everything that can be said has been said, just wait for the judgment of the eldest princess.

In fact, for this inference, he did a lot of homework, and the materials and history books he consulted were piled up, and if they were all laid out, the convincing power would be stronger.

But Zhang Wu knows very well that when the eldest princess judges whether a person's point of view is credible, she often does not look at those details.

What exactly is it to look at...... Zhang Wu himself couldn't say clearly, after all, there was an eldest princess who couldn't measure the principle there.

After a few moments, Ying Ruoying spoke.

"How do you make sure that the returning Immortal Tree is controllable?"

Zhang Wu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't imagine that the eldest princess actually asked such a ...... Send a sub-question!

That's right, the eldest princess's worries are justified, the most fundamental reason why she dislikes the Immortal Tree is not that she rejects the immortal itself, on the contrary, her apocalypse has the power of immortality to help.

Her dislike of the Immortal Tree lies in two things, one is her biggest secret, even Zhang Wu has only slightly figured out the context, and the other is very clear, because she believes that the Immortal Tree is a Saint Yuan thing, and her hatred for the Saint Yuan Empire is deep-rooted!

Let her watch her country be infiltrated by the Shengyuan people, of course, it is impossible.

"So, why doesn't Your Highness take control of the Immortal Tree with your own hands?"
