Chapter 262: Selena's Bet
The closer they got to the predetermined sea, the heavier everyone's mood became. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info no longer talk to each other. Autumn took the hand of Xiao Chen, and looked at the sea at the stern of the ship all day long, as if he could understand something by looking at the constant spray of the waves.
When it reached a small island in front of it, the boat stopped. Autumn said goodbye to Xiao Chen, and Xiao Chen, Ling Ling'er and other idle people could only wait here. And the fall and the other four city lords will continue to form.
A few people came from Xixing's side to guide them, and a few people got into the small wooden boat and continued to move forward.
Xixing's guide didn't say much, and several people didn't bother to ask. Since the Sea Emperor sent out an invitation, several people can only fight as juniors. They have the advantage of numbers, while the Sea Emperor has a geographical advantage, and on the surface, it seems that they are evenly matched.
Soon after the boat sailed, several people boarded another boat. The long white hair never appeared, but Autumn knew he was nearby. The people of Xixing didn't ask why there was one person missing, and everything seemed to be very tacit.
The large ships they were on were painted white, the same color as the shells, and from the outside, they also looked like shells. The hull of the ship is low, but the deck is wide, the size of a martial arts dojo. On the deck there was a table, a few chairs, and fresh tropical fruits on the table, which was a luxury in the East Turkish Federation.
The goshawk was alone holding on to the railing, looking at the sea in the distance.
Accustomed to staying in the city in the sky, suddenly coming to the sea, facing the endless sea level, blowing the sea breeze, eating fruit, anyone will have some fresh feelings. Mo Qufeng and Qiu sat down and closed their eyes to recuperate, while Ling Li walked around and couldn't be idle for a moment.
"Welcome to the West Sea. ”
A tall, blonde girl walked out of the cabin with a smile on her face.
Ling Li said: "Oh, Her Royal Highness the princess came to greet her in person, and the face of our old people is not small. ”
Originally, I thought that the Sea Emperor would invite him, and there should be no idle people, but it seems that Xixing treats this matter as a first-class state matter. Indeed, it is also related to the fortunes of the country.
Autumn stared behind the smiling princess, a pretty figure standing behind her with her head bowed.
Selena said: "The vicissitudes of life, it has been a hundred years, my grandfather has moved the people of Xixing to an isolated island since the big explosion, and now the country is safe, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, which is an unprecedented grand scene in a hundred years." ”
Her voice was crisp and loud, articulate, and even with an authentic Moon City accent. Tell several city lords to turn their heads and listen.
Selena said: "Cooperation is two benefits, and fighting is two defeats." Several city lords are the lords of one side, and they should know that there is no benefit in fighting between things and things. ”
Mo Qufeng said: "Of course there is no benefit, but this old grudge has been a long time, and no one can trust anyone." If Her Royal Highness the Princess can abdicate and hand over the West Star to us to take care of, naturally a storm can be eliminated invisibly. But is this possible? The two sides had different cultures and customs before the Big Bang, and now they have different thinking. The interests of the upper echelons cannot be properly distributed, and they can only speak by force. ”
Autumn looked at this Takeo, who he had thought rude before, and felt that it made sense. The dispute between the East and the West is, in the final analysis, a conflict of interests. At the beginning, he wanted to occupy Jinshi City, just for a place for the people of the mainland to settle down. But he took advantage of it, and some people lost it, and in the end they drove the Jin family to Hot Spring City. But even so, it also cost countless lives and blood. The world is crowded, all for profit.
Selena said: "All the city lords are old Cheng Mouguo figures, we just want to keep this happy land, and we have never thought of getting involved in the five cities of the Federation. I believe you should also recognize this. However, the East Earth Federation has been testing pressure on us in a vain attempt to annex the West Star. With all due respect, if it really annexes the Western Star, it will not be good to use the methods of the Federation to govern it. The West Star is isolated overseas, and with it as a check and balance, the Federation can develop healthily. If the West Star is merged into the Federation, not only will its own development be unfavorable, but even the Federation will slacken, and the opportunity for healthy development will be lost, and it will eventually festered from within. ”
Mo Qufeng's brows tightened. And Ling Li said: "Little girl, you are right." ”
Selena smiled and said, "City Lord Ling is really straightforward. But I know that just lip service may not convince you. Let's make a bet, shall we?"
At this time, even the goshawk became interested and said, "What bet?"
Selena said, "You are about to fight my grandfather to the death. If my grandfather wins, please let the five city lords stay in the West Star from now on and be my guests on the West Star. If the five city lords win, naturally, I, Xixing, will be subjugated to the Eastern Earth Federation from now on. Naturally, my Western Star royal family will no longer exist. ”
Ling Li said: "In this way, is Her Royal Highness the princess going to finish the battle? I don't know if it is the meaning of the Sea Emperor, or the meaning of Her Royal Highness the Princess? You know, at our level, we don't want to stop it, so we can do it." ”
Selena said, "Of course, my grandfather and I share the same opinion. What do you think? I believe that even if my grandfather can win, it will be a miserable victory, and it is absolutely impossible to keep the five city lords. ”
Goshawk said: "If the five of us become Xixing's people, we must be able to deter the Ministry of Defense, and Xixing will be able to continue to be isolated." The little girl's abacus is also shrewd. ”
Mo Qufeng said: "Not only that, if we lose five people including us, the Eastern Earth Federation will have chaos at that time, and the West Star side can be described as a sandpiper and a clam competing for profit." Maybe the West Star can still dominate the East and the Earth. ”
Selena smiled, "I have no intention of invading your state. ”
Ling Li said: "I'm all old, and I don't have a few years to live." It's the little doll in the autumn, and he will be older in the future, whether he is willing to stay in Xixing, this is the point. ”
Several people turned their heads to look at autumn at the same time.
Selena said: "The Autumn City Lord is also my old friend, and I once said that if you are willing to serve the West Star, I will give you whatever you want, even if it is my maid, I can reward you." ”
The stars behind her bowed their heads more and more. Autumn couldn't see what her expression was, but she had to sigh: "Your Royal Highness the princess is polite." ”
Mo Qufeng said with a smile: "Just a maid, how can Qiu Xiaoyou look at it, if Her Royal Highness the princess marries in person, our little friend may consider it." ”
Selena gritted her teeth and said, "If Autumn can see me like this, I don't care." ”
Mo Qufeng stammered: "Her Royal Highness the princess really dares to make a capital." What do you think of autumn? ”
Autumn looked up and said, "Thank you, princess, for your kindness." I'm just here to see the Sea Emperor and ask some questions in person. There is no meaning of the East and the West Star Battle. For me, it makes no difference whether the East wins or the West wins. Therefore, I cannot agree to this condition. ”
Ling Li laughed and said: "It's really autumn, if it was when I was young, the temptation of such a beauty as Her Royal Highness the Princess, I couldn't resist it." ”
In autumn, the scenery suddenly changed dramatically, and several people in the vicinity disappeared one after another. The white-haired figure appeared and said to him: "The success or failure of Xixing now depends on the Sea Emperor alone. No matter how hard they struggle, they can only win, not lose. And even if the Sea Emperor kills the five of us, Xixing will inevitably fight against the elite of Dongtu. So in this game, they are losing anyway. ”
Autumn said: "But as soon as the five city lords die, the Ministry of Defense will inevitably rise, and there will be endless battles within the Federation, so I am very strange that a few of you will actually come here." ”
Bai Changfa smiled and said, "You have to know that we are us, and the five major families are the five major families. The lifelong wish of those of us warriors is to be able to see the true martial arts. As for the federal situation, it is up to them to do so. ”
Autumn said: "Then the Ten Thousand Sword Flow has taken advantage?"
Bai Changfa said: "He is troubled now." ”
"How?"
Bai Changfa said: "Thanks to you, in the battle of Jinshi City, the Ministry of Defense lost most of its strength. He was never capable of dealing with the Five Great Families and the Western Star at the same time. It was when Xixing saw this that he sent out an invitation. As long as the balance of power is re-balanced, the confrontation will continue. So Xixing is gambling with the life of the Sea Emperor. ”
Autumn scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that our Golden Stone City would pay such a big price in exchange for a world peace. ”
Bai Changfa said: "There is Miss Bai Yuxiang in Baiyun City, and you still have the monster Lige in Jinshi City, and I believe that Miss Lin in Hot Spring City also has a backhand, so the situation will not be chaotic." But there is one variable that I am not sure of. ”
"What variables?"
Bai Changfa pointed at Autumn and said, "It's you." If you can go back alive this time, then the strength of Golden Stone City will far surpass that of several other cities, and this balance will be broken. ”
Autumn said, "So the seniors want me to stay in Xixing, or just kill me?"
Bai Changfa shook his head and said, "I said, I am me, and the Bai family is the Bai family." I have been a slave of the Bai family for so many years, and now it's time to live for myself. I still hope you make it back alive. You are still young, and you will be a variable in this world later. ”
Autumn said, "Oh?"
Bai Changfa said: "Listen to me, you have to live." ”
