South China Sea Dragon Palace.

The then Third Prince of Nanhai, now the Dragon King of Nanhai, was listening attentively to his subordinates' reports.

After a while, the envoy team finally finished their report and presented part of the photo-recording stones.

This was an errand specially ordered by the Dragon King before leaving, asking them to find an opportunity to record some important information when they went to Xiyun Mansion.

For example, Xiyun Mansion's urban planning, industrial level, where important departments are located, and the guys who hold important positions under Zuo Chongming.

After witnessing what Ji Changyun did, the third prince deeply realized the importance of intelligence.

Although we are working with Zuo Chongming this time, it is necessary to understand his intelligence. After all, there are no permanent friends in this world.

"Huh?"

The Dragon King of South China Sea looked at the picture stones, suddenly paused, and stared at the pictures in surprise: "What is this place?"

"Border of Xiyun Mansion."

The subordinate replied: "Because of the existence of Chunhe Mansion, only a small part of Xiyun Mansion is in contact with the sea. This is that area."

The Dragon King of South China Sea frowned, stared at the scene on the screen, and muttered: "This seems to be a seaport, a pier..."

The subordinate nodded slightly and replied in a deep voice: "The Dragon King has a keen eye. There are various large factories behind here, all of which produce ships."

"When we passed by, we saw a large ship that had just been launched for testing. It was made of alloy and was about 270 feet long. The waterline was very deep."

"However, the strange thing is that we did not see any cannons or other things. The huge thing seemed to be a merchant ship or a cargo ship."

"cargo ship?"

The Dragon King narrowed his eyes and hummed softly: "Continue talking."

Another subordinate stepped forward, took over the conversation and said, "Later, out of curiosity, we asked the person who received us."

"They said this is a cargo ship, mainly used for long-distance cargo transportation. It can carry 600,000 tons of cargo when fully loaded. It is simply terrifying."

At the end of the sentence, there was a hint of unspeakable horror and awe on her face.

That ship was so huge that compared to it, the human race was like an ant.

Even if the monsters like them reveal their true form, compared with such behemoths, they are at most a small snake, or a cat or a dog.

God knows what method these pea-sized humans used to create an iron mountain and make it move.

The strong sense of contrast and stimulating visual impact left an indelible impression in their hearts.

"Six hundred thousand tons?"

The Dragon King was stunned for a moment, and a trace of doubt appeared on his eyebrows. He seemed to have never heard of this unit of weight.

Princess Qingwen of All Saints saw this and reminded softly: "This is the new weight unit proposed by the human race. One ton is equal to two thousand kilograms."

"That is to say..."

The Dragon King's face trembled, and he silently converted the units in his mind, and suddenly his eyes widened: "Six hundred thousand tons is, that is... 1.2 billion kilograms?"

"Um."

The subordinates nodded. When they first calculated this result, their reaction was similar to that of the Dragon King.

"Damn, how did they do that?"

The Dragon King frowned: "The last time Ji Changyun took a diving iron boat, it exceeded my expectations. I didn't expect..."

Qingwen promptly reminded: "Dragon King, that is a cargo ship."

The Dragon King came back to his senses and looked at her displeased: "Don't you think I can see it?"

"I am aware of my guilt."

Qingwen's beautiful eyes flashed, and she lowered her head calmly to apologize.

"snort."

The Dragon King glanced at her indifferently and continued the topic: "Looking at the picture in this photo stone, I see that the shipbuilding factory occupies a large area."

The subordinate replied: "We were just passing by at the time, and most factories are closed, so the details are not clear."

"But when we were chatting with the receptionist, he once boasted that a cargo ship with a 600,000-ton capacity could be built in a month."

"If all the parts are complete, it only takes three days to assemble a cargo ship like this and launch it into the water for testing."

"One month...three days."

The Dragon King of South China Sea suppressed the shock in his heart and said quietly with a straight face: "It can be seen from this that Zuo Chongming's plans are not small."

"I finally understand why he readily agreed to cooperate with us, because this guy's next step is to do shipping..."

"And the sea is our world. If he wants to succeed, he must cooperate with us. This time we only established initial trust, and the big head is still behind."

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt enlightened.

After all, he had met Ji Changyun and knew how difficult this guy was to deal with. Since Zuo Chongming could stabilize one end of him, it would only be even more difficult to deal with him.

So when the envoys came back, the Dragon King didn't believe a word of the bragging and claiming credit revealed between the lines.

He knew that since the negotiations went so smoothly, it meant that Zuo Chongming must have other intentions.

And now, he finally knows its purpose.

Zuo Chongming invested so much money, which shows that his determination to develop maritime transport is unshakable.

The Dragon King could ask for a high price, and if Zuo Chongming didn't agree, he could even threaten him with cold words.

After all, the sea is vast and there are many demons. The dragon clan has an innate geographical advantage. It can be said that they can advance and attack, and retreat and defend...

As long as Zuo Chongming wanted to develop maritime transport, and as long as he was not willing to invest a lot of money, he would have no choice but to grit his teeth and agree to the Dragon King's outrageous conditions.

"This is the value of information."

The Dragon King of South China Sea was excited and couldn't help but sigh: "Now that we know his purpose, we can take the initiative..."

When Qingwen heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched vaguely.

Now she finally understands why Ji Changyun asked her to wait peacefully without doing anything, as the Dragon King would seek his own death.

That's what it means to be brave...

A series of thoughts flashed through her mind, and she finally came to a conclusion.

The interest alliance between Ji Changyun and Zuo Chongming is much closer than outsiders see.

At least the conditions proposed by the Dragon King were not enough to make Zuo Chongming and Ji Changyun turn against each other.

Qingwen can be sure that the current situation is not what the Dragon King thought, and he teamed up with Zuo Chongming to eat Ji Changyun's wonderful plan.

Instead, Zuo Chongming and Ji Changyun cooperated to set up a trap and let the Dragon King get in on his own. His final end was to be eaten up and wiped clean.

Having said that, the information that the envoy team worked so hard to get actually has no meaning.

Because the Dragon King is already a corpse in Zuo Chongming's eyes. What qualifications does a corpse have to share the cake?

"well……"

Qingwen seemed to feel something, and sighed in his heart: "If you don't choose the best or middle policy, but choose the worst policy, you are really seeking your own death, and there is no one else."

The so-called best strategy is to secretly reach a deal with Ji Changyun, and then sell off the low-value guys like the Sirens in the name of returning to Middle-earth.

In this way, the Dragon King not only eliminated his own hidden dangers and stabilized his position, but also strengthened his relationship with Ji Changyun.

Relying on the relationship between Qingwen and the Scarlet Sea Demon King, the South China Sea Dragon Clan will definitely gain more benefits, which will be more conducive to future development.

As for Zhongce, in the name of returning to Middle-earth, he will send part of the power of the Kraken clan to Middle-earth, and use the hands of Ji Changyun or Zuo Chongming to eliminate them.

Compared with the best option, this move will lead to a completely hostile relationship between the dragon clan and China. It is almost nonsense to think of going further in the future.

If the Dragon King's mentality is not drifting, he will choose the middle strategy at worst, which at least will strengthen his position.

It's a pity that he drifted away...

Not only did he not want to give up the power of the Siren Clan, but he wanted to win over Zuo Chongming and get rid of Ji Changyun in order to regain this part of the power.

Not only that, the current Dragon King even wants to wait until this incident is over, fall out with Zuo Chongming, and take a bite out of the shipping matter...

Damn it~!

Qingwen was secretly happy, but at the same time he felt an indescribable chill.

Fortunately, once the Dragon King burps, the throne will be within her reach.

What I'm afraid of is that the seemingly majestic dragon clan is being manipulated by others.

Xiyun Mansion, Hou Mansion Garden.

"Excuse me."

Zuo Chongming, the vaulting general, shrugged at Nan Yuyan: "We won again."

Although there is television now, the programs are still very boring. After all, the birth of the entertainment industry must be dependent on reality.
