"Can't you really help us."
Shang Qian looked at Si Kongyao with red eyes, and said, "Why can't... A Yao."
Sikongyao was very soft-hearted to her close friend, and she supported Shang Qian’s shoulders and said, “It’s not possible without me, but I still have to discuss with everyone. Baize’s mercenaries are not my sole decision. It's about the future fate of the 180,000 Baize mercenaries. I must be more cautious. My sister, don't worry, give me some time, okay."
"Ok."
Shang Qian nodded gently.
But Liu Buyi had already stood up, his face was full of determination, and said lightly: "No, no discussion."
"Liu Buyi."
King Lan Ji came up with the case and said: "Is this Baize mercenary in charge or Miss Sikongyao in charge? Don't be so aggressive, don't forget, you are also from the western mountains of my Tianji Empire. people."
"Yes."
Liu Buyi smiled faintly: "But I don't remember what favors the empire has given me. Everyone beats me when they see me, and everyone looks down on me, Liu Buyi. Tell me why I have to sacrifice my life for such a country."
"you."
"What are you?" Liu Buyi fisted on the table, shaking the tea set flying, and said: "In the past six months, we have continued to expand. We have eliminated and merged more than 90% of the mercenary groups in the Blackstone Empire. And continue to train and eliminate inferior soldiers, for what? Is it to give you such a prince to sell his life?"
With that, Liu Buyi's face was full of blue veins, and he smiled: "Dream, I am not your courtier, and you are not my master. When my fist is bigger than you, my military power is more powerful than you. Why didn't Lao Tzu be the emperor himself, but kneel down for a villain like you."
Wang Lan Ji was trembling with anger, but was speechless.
Sikongyao said indifferently: "Liu Buyi, don't say a few words, what if your Royal Highness Lan Ji is angry."
Liu Buyi took a step back respectfully, knelt down on one knee, his right fist landed naturally, and gave a military salute, saying, "Yes, my subordinates understand."
Shang Qian was startled.
Wang Lan Ji’s eyes were brilliant, he could see that Liu Buyi’s salute was not the salute of the Celestial Continent, but the standard military salute of the Broken Ding Realm, and along the way, he also found the Baize Mercenary Station. The etiquette followed is basically the etiquette of the army of the Great Qin Empire.
"you… "
King Lan Ji's face was blue and he said, "You are from the broken tripod world, and you are from Lin Muyu."
Liu Buyi smiled and nodded: "Yes, we were originally Qin Wang Lin Muyu's people. After holding back for more than half a year, we didn't say anything. Now we suddenly feel so happy."
The corner of Si Kongyao's mouth raised: "Liu Buyi, you talk too much."
Wang Lan Ji stepped back several steps, his face a little pale: "Why... why even Miss Sikongyao would betray your motherland, why... exactly why."
"Have I betrayed the motherland."
Sikongyao asked with a smile: "Your Highness, have I killed an innocent citizen of the Tianji Empire? Have I invaded the land of the Tianji Empire? I just built an army in the Blackstone Empire with my own ability. , Why do you say that I am treason? Just now I was thinking about using my troops to reinforce the Tianji Empire. Why did you say that Sikongyao was treason?"
"You and I… "
King Lan Ji was also an overwhelming figure in the palace, but at this moment he was already at a loss.
Sikongyao pursed her red lips and said, "Actually, after all, the Tianji Empire is indeed my homeland, and I can't help but save it, but the 180,000 people under my command are not all from the Tianji Empire. I can't let They sacrificed their lives in vain to fight, so... for the sake of Sister Shang Qian's face, I promised to send troops..."
"Really." Shang Qian was overjoyed.
Wang Lan Ji was also taken aback: "The eldest lady is serious."
"It's true, but don't worry, I have conditions."
"What conditions, please say."
Sikongyao moved her red lips, her wise eyes were full of moving expressions, and she smiled: "First of all, if I do my best to advance 180,000 Baize mercenaries to the north, then there will definitely be movement in the Blackstone Empire. I have a grudge against my Baize mercenaries. Once my Baize mercenaries leave the North Pass, they will definitely close the door and will not let the Baize mercenaries come back, so this also means... Baize mercenaries are leaving. There is no turning back. We Baize mercenaries sit on the seven prefectures in the Blackstone Empire and collect taxes on their own. But once we expedition to the north, what will we have."
King Lan Ji groaned, his heart felt a little cold. After three years, Sikongyao is no longer the beautiful girl who can only practice and fight. At this time, Sikongyao is not only unfathomable, but even resourceful. By the way, he frowned and said, "Your Majesty has given me some right to make decisions before this king's trip. If the eldest lady has anything to say, please speak up."
"good."
Sikongyao smiled knowingly, and said, "It's actually very simple. Once the Baize mercenary enters the territory of the Tianji Empire, I need a foothold. I don't want to be a target of public criticism immediately after the battle. I mean, I mean... Wang Lan Ji should be very clear about it."
"Understanding." Wang Lan Ji groaned, and said: "The route of the young lady's army must be to leave Beiguan, pass through Xishan Province, and attack the Tianjue Empire Army in Dongning Province. Then... I can decide on behalf of your Majesty. The seven prefectures and counties in the southern part of the Western Mountain Province are divided into Baize mercenaries. You can station in the city, and the local state capital will directly hand over the collected taxes to the eldest lady in order to supply the Baize mercenaries."
"Is it just seven states and counties?"
Sikongyao couldn't help laughing: "His Royal Highness, with all due respect, the Baize mercenaries total 180,000, half of which are iron cavalry. If each is equipped with two blades, there are a total of 360,000 blades and 36 There are thousands of armors, and even horsemen equipped with at least 100,000 people. The seven states and counties in the districts may not be able to support such a large army. Don’t forget, our highness, we are mercenaries. The reason why we can survive in the Blackstone Empire, It's because we are plundering everywhere. Does your Highness still want us to plunder everywhere in the Tianji Empire."
"Seven states and counties won't work, so... How much does the eldest want." Wang Lan Ji's eyes revealed.
Sikongyao nodded and smiled shyly: "Actually...Xiping City, the capital of the Xishan Province, is also one of the famous cities on the mainland. It has ample taxes and a strong city. If His Royal Highness does not mind, Ayao is willing to guard Xiping City for the empire."
"What." Wang Lan Ji was shocked: "The Baize mercenary wants Xiping City."
"Why, can't it?" Liu Buyi raised his eyebrows.
Eighteen ten thousand chiefs' meeting, Qi Qi stood up: "Why, this doesn't work, but I want us to send troops to work for you."
Under the prosperous prestige, King Lan Ji's momentum suddenly weakened, and he gradually understood that since he and Shang Qian stepped into the general's mansion, they have fallen into a trap. Liu Buyi and Sikongyao are obviously singing a double act. , And I just understand now, it's too late.
Sikongyao's smile was very sweet, and said: "His Royal Highness can make judgments on his own, but Ayao wants to remind you that if Xiping City is sealed to me, maybe the Tianji Empire can get peace, but if you don't give it to me, Tianji Empire will lose it. It's not just a Xiping city, maybe Dongning City, Huoyuan City, Tianji City... will soon become Chen Yu's palace."
King Lan Ji took a deep breath, his face was gray, and said: "Let me think about it... After all, Xiping City is a provincial capital, and it cannot be decided by my little left king. Maybe I need to petition your majesty to get your majesty's Only after approval."
Sikongyao faintly smiled and said: "Okay... We are waiting for your Highness's reply at Demon Palm Peaks, but... I just don't know if Dongning City can stop Chen Yu's army from attacking. Tianji City is more than ten days in between. Please think twice."
King Lan Ji fell silent for a moment, and sat there dejectedly.
After a while, he raised his head and said, "I have a king order given by your majesty. I can make a ruling on my own. If Miss Sikongyao wants it, Xiping City and the seven states and counties in the south of Xishan Province will all be granted to you as a fief. Bar."
"This can't work."
Sikongyao stretched his arms lazily and said, "There are seven states and counties in the south of Xiping City, and seven states and counties in the north. Isn’t it because my family beat my family? In my opinion, your Highness might as well reward me with the seven northern states and counties.”
King Lan Ji trembled all over: "You...you want the whole land of the Western Mountain Province."
"Is there a problem."
Sikongyao's beautiful eyes froze, and suddenly the momentum surged, feeling like a king over the world.
King Lan Ji's voice trembled: "No, if all the fiefdoms are given to you, your majesty will surely cure me."
"Just forget it if you don't agree."
Sikongyao embraced her arms, raised a pair of slender snow legs on the table, and said, "Anyway, the Baize mercenary is not bad to be a mercenary king here. It is delicious and delicious. He plunders the government treasury everywhere, Black Stone. The dog emperor of the empire didn't dare to provoke me."
Shang Qian saw that the scene was a little stiff, and said, "His Royal Highness Zuo, in my opinion... A Yao wants these Xishan provinces as fiefdoms, and then reward her. By the way, A Yao is named a Xiping princess. Anyway, A Yao It's a member of the empire, so why not let her rule the Western Mountains and the Province? If this is the case, you can make it clear before your Majesty."
Wang Lan Ji's heart brightened and said, "Yes... I don't know if Miss Sikongyao is willing to accept the title of Xiping County Lord."
"I don't care."
Sikongyao smiled lazily: "But I have the conditions. Although the Tianji Empire gave me the title of Princess Xiping, I will not serve the emperor. My army will still be controlled by myself. In addition, my fief I will no longer pay money and food to the imperial capital, and I will entrust all the officials."
"You are..."
King Lan Ji felt the chill deep in his heart: "Miss Sikongyao, are you trying to crack the earth and seal the king?"
"Yes, that's right."
Sikongyao bluntly said: "I just want to have my own territory, and I will no longer obey the rule of any emperor, but... I will be the lord of Xiping County, so that in name I am still a member of the Tianji Empire, at least Lan His Majesty King Ji made sense from Beimingyuan. To deceive the superior and the lower was originally the skill you are good at, isn’t it? Decide."
…
Everyone was silent.
After nearly half of the incense, Lan Ji Wang said lightly: "I will send a letter to Tianji City and ask for the will. The wolf flies fast, and it takes only three days to go back and forth. Please wait for the canonization by Miss Sikongyao."
"good."
Sikongyao was smug, and smiled knowingly with Liu Buyi and others.
