It was a very strange smile, and Lily's back was cold. I wanted to -free - watch - complete - version - please - Baidu - search -
"Xingchen, you..." Lili said uneasy.
Xingchen waved his hand and interrupted Lili's words.
"No further ado, find a quiet place now and have a good talk!" Xingchen said.
Lily's father pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, whispered in the butler's ear. The butler nodded quickly and then left.
"Come with me!" said Lily's father.
Although Lily was full of doubts, she still left with her father.
Bellet followed closely, and Xingchen walked at the end.
Soon, the four of them came to Lili's father's study. The study room was very unique. Xingchen glanced at these books and found that these were written in special words of the Winged Humans, and he could not understand them at all.
"Okay, it's safe here, no one will eavesdrop on their conversation!" Lily's father said: "Now you can talk about the topic you just raised!"
Lili's father's eyes fell on Xingchen.
Xingchen smiled faintly, glanced at Lili from the corner of his eyes, and saw that Lili was very anxious.
The Winged Humans and Muts have been in a confrontation for many years, but they have always been at a disadvantage. It is not unreasonable.
"I have heard about the general situation from Lili. The two tribes always control the salt mines to make huge profits, but the Muts are numerous and powerful, and the Winged people can only occupy less than half of the profits of the salt mine!"
"What's wrong? Our Winged Humans are taking the elite route, and it's better to have nothing than to be too bad! In terms of combat effectiveness, it's okay for our Winged Humans to fight ten!" said Bellet.
"That's right, I also admit that the strong combat power of the Winged Humans, but the number of Muts' troops is probably ten times more than you. Moreover, the Winged Humans' fertility rate is not as good as that of the Muts. If both sides suffer, the Muts can recover their vitality in at most twenty years. However, the Winged Humans will take hundreds of years to restore their current number. This is also the reason why you dare not go to war with the Muts!" Xingchen said with a smile.
As soon as this said, Lily's father and Bailett fell into silence.
"If you want a strong race, you need more resources and living space! Therefore, the Winged Humans are now trapped in a vicious cycle!"
Bailet asked hurriedly: "Is there any way you can break this deadlock?"
"Of course there is!" Xingchen said proudly.
Lili hurriedly pulled Xingchen's arm, but Xingchen ignored Lili: "Isn't it enough to let others go to war for the Winged Humans?"
Bailet was stunned and laughed: "No one is a fool, how can you do such a thankless thing? We have actually thought about mercenaries, but most mercenaries have their own ideas, and some even just to get a piece of the salt mine, which is not trustworthy at all! And there are many who turn against the water!"
"Well, indeed, as long as you have money, these people will do anything! It is not worth the new job! But have you heard that there are perverts called Bishops of the Underworld?" Xingchen's mouth raised a chill.
"Hey! Xingchen, what do you want to do? It's not for me to prepare the materials for Bishop of the Underworld for this matter, right?" Lili said vigilantly: "I tell you, these people are a bunch of lunatics! Don't think about being able to control them!"
"Don't worry, I didn't think about controlling them! It's just..." Xingchen smiled: "Let them kill people! These people like to die the most!"
"It sounds very reasonable, but it is not as easy as it sounds!" Lili's father said calmly.
As the leader of a clan, he naturally could not be moved by Xingchen's words. He would not take risks without a complete plan. After all, he was responsible for all the winged people.
"Yes, it's no point in saying it. Give me three days, I'll concentrate a lot of it.
Bishop of the Underworld! Of course, if you want the rise of the Winged Humans! I wonder if you believe me or not?" Xingchen said.
"I believe you!" Bailett blurted out.
Xingchen just smiled at him and still kept his eyes on Lili's father.
Lili's father stared at Xingchen's eyes: "You have put such a lot of effort into helping my daughter, right?"
"I'm right, I'm a person who can't get up early without profit! We can make an agreement here. If I help the Winged Humans seize the entire salt mine, I will have 10% of the profit!" Xing Chen smiled sweetly.
I once saw Lily, who was really looking at Xingchen, and when I saw Xingchen's smile, my back felt cold.
One percent profit does not sound like a lot, but now the entire Winged Human race only has half a profit of salt ore. For a person, the wealth brought by the 10 percent salt ore profit is almost astronomical.
"Aren't you afraid that I will break my promise? Kill you after the matter is done?" Lili's father asked in a cold voice.
"If you really want to kill me, you won't ask that!" Xingchen's smile on his face was still sweet: "And, if you are only interested in money... it only means I'm wrong! You said yes!"
Lily's father's eyes instantly became very terrifying, but he quickly covered up his eyes.
"A woman who is too smart will not like it if she is a man!" The smile on Lily's father's face was a little strange.
"Only stupid men like stupid women!" Xingchen's smile became brighter.
"Okay, if you can gather a thousand bishops of the Underworld within ten days and bring them to me, I can consider your opinion!" said Lili's father.
"Just just consider it?" Xingchen asked with his eyes narrowed.
"Our attack on the Muts is not a fight between hooligans. This means that the war has begun! What affects the direction of the war is not just the combat effectiveness of the army. The reserve resources, the ability to command, the right time, place, and people are indispensable!" Lili's father said.
"Old fox!" Xing Chen cursed in his heart, but he didn't feel difficult. After all, it is still very common for the leader of a clan to have such abilities and insights.
"Okay, start tomorrow! Ten days, one thousand bishops of the Underworld!" Xing Chen said and turned around and left.
Bellet's eyes were always concentrated on Xingchen, and he did not move from beginning to end.
"Dad, if Xingchen really gathered a thousand bishops of the Underworld, would we really declare war on the Muts? Isn't it what you want to maintain the current peace?" Lili asked urgently.
Lili's father rubbed his daughter's head: "You are too young and don't understand these things! The Muts are getting stronger and stronger, and it won't take long to completely pass our Winged Humans. So, if you don't start first and wait until the time is right, we may even be taken away from the shelter under our feet! Using troops against the Muts is something I've wanted to do for a long time, but..."
"But the imperial law explicitly stipulates that private fights between various races are not allowed, if they are exposed by law enforcement teams..."
"Imperial law? It's a joke! There are thousands of laws in the empire. How many are there? This is just a unilateral law formulated by the top nobles to better control our races! Have you ever seen a great nobleman arrested for violating the imperial law?" Lili's father sneered.
Lily is also very clear about these things. As a sheriff, she has also been exposed to many things.
"The most important thing is that we now have Xingchen, which can let her cut the Muts first. If she wins, we will pursue the victory and seize the Muts' territory and salt mine. If she loses, we can also stay out of the matter and say that she is a bishop of the underworld and put all the responsibility on her!" Lili's father said.
"Why is this?" Lily looked at her father in amazement. It was hard to imagine that such words would actually come from this kind father.
Say it out of your mouth.
"Child, this is politics, there is nothing we can do about it!"
...
"Old fox, I know you are not kind!" Xingchen lay in his room, and all the words Lili's father said just now were heard by Xingchen.
The sweet potatoes floated in the room, like ghosts.
"But this time, what can I do if I just use it as a knife for you? Anyway..." Xingchen thought of this, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Early the next morning, Xingchen and Lili took care of each other and left Lili's house alone with Sweet Soup.
Yancheng has a large area, with a radius of more than 100 kilometers, and various forces are intertwined and very complex.
The Muts are not a monolithic part, and they divide many forces from all sizes.
Xingchen's appearance is completely different from that of the Muts, so it became the focus of everyone at the first time.
But as long as you are in the city, you will not be able to escape the surveillance of the Winged Humans.
Xingchen came to the carriage renting shop and rented a carriage and a groom.
"Beautiful lady, where are you going?" said the groom respectfully.
"Xicheng District!" Xingchen said.
"What? Xicheng District..." The groom wanted to speak but stopped. Xicheng District was the most chaotic place in Yancheng. Casinos, brothels, thieves, and corrupt nobles all gathered there.
"This beauty is not in a special industry, right?" the groom murmured to himself.
An hour later, Xingchen had arrived in Xicheng District.
The sewage everywhere, the women who were recruiting guests in broad daylight, the howlings of the gamblers and the pungent smell made Xingchen frown.
Suddenly, Xingchen felt a pair of eyes looking at him in the sky.
"It's that little boy!" Xingchen smiled, and it was Bailett who was hiding in the clouds.
I don’t know if it’s to protect her or to monitor Xingchen.
However, none of these matters.
Xingchen walked straight into a tavern that looked very dilapidated.
As soon as he opened the door, everyone in the tavern focused on Xingchen's face.
The next second, the whole audience was in full bloom.
"Look, beauty!"
"Whose girl came to such a place?"
"It's probably coming to find a man, right? Hahaha? I can definitely satisfy you!"
"Can it be sold out? Where would a good woman come from such a place?"
People in the tavern were talking.
Xingchen came directly to the counter.
"Beauty, do you need anything?" The servant was a teenager in his teens and very feminine.
"I want to find a few people!" Xingchen said.
"No problem, no one has any problem with a few people. I didn't expect you to be of this kind of interest in beauty!" The boy smiled femininely.
"Biography of the Underworld!"
Xingchen said softly.
The boy's expression instantly solidified.
"You're really joking..."
Xingchen pinched the boy's neck and lifted him into the air with one hand.
"Do you look at my expression and look like I'm joking?"
The boy's originally dark blue cheeks turned blue and his feet were off the ground, and he kept struggling.
"Okay, guest, there is no need to be angry with a servant! Let's have a good talk!" A young man's voice came.
