The atmosphere instantly became incomparably tense. Qu Feizhi and Tenth Tiger King looked at each other like two angry lions, Chen Chu had already clenched his fist, Xu Keding's hand had also touched the hilt of his blade, the entire room was like a pile of extremely dry firewood that was filled with gunpowder. At this moment, the only person who could ease the situation slowly stood up.
Xiu'er stood up calmly and filled everyone's teacups with tea. Then, she handed Tenth Tiger King's cup to him and smiled faintly, ”Drink some water.”
Tenth Tiger King was startled, he did not understand why Xiu'er suddenly passed him a cup of tea.
The Ninth Tiger King by his side suddenly laughed, he nodded his head in greeting, then extended his hand to take the teacup from Xiu'er's hands, then personally passed it to Tenth Tiger King, ”Lord Xiu wants you to drink it, but your heart is too angry. You have to extinguish it.”
Seeing that the Ninth Tiger King had personally made a move, the Tenth Tiger King did not dare disobey, and both of his hands received the cup and took a sip, then he thanked the Xiu'er and returned to his seat. After being pulled back by Chen Chu, and was glared at by the Xiu'er, Qu Feizhi obediently sat back down. Although the two of them sat down, the tension in the air had dissipated by quite a bit.
Xiu'er raised her teacup and lightly sipped. Only then did she speak out, ”I have always believed that there must be a price for everything in the Nine Your Highness Tiger King s. ”Just like when you are in the business world. You have to give a proper price in order to buy what you want. Is that right?”
Ninth Tiger King had a smile on his face, ”Lord Xiu is right, but I wonder how Lord Xiu would like to do this business?”
Xiu'er did not answer immediately. Instead, she slowly walked to the side of the map and scrutinized it carefully before saying, ”My parents were originally fishermen, so they always stayed by the river. However, we never stayed on the boats. I didn't see my father very often, because he often had to sail far and wide to fish. I don't understand why my parents would be back in one day, and why my father would need at least three or four days to get out, or even seven or eight days more, and why his fishing boats and nets were in such a state of disrepair. My father told me that it was safe to stay near the shore, but not to catch big fish. Only by going to distant places and places where fish are gathered can we catch big fish. Although it is hard and dangerous, we can still earn more than others. ”
Ninth Tiger King did not grow impatient just because Xiu'er had mentioned this seemingly unrelated matter. He smiled and nodded: ”Your father's thoughts are not bad.
Xiu'er smiled back, ”My father couldn't say that Your Highness was so literary, but I think it should be true. Therefore, if His Highness only wants to fish for some small fishes on the shore to spend his days, then it doesn't seem like it's worth coming here, right? ”
Ninth Tiger King's smile slowly became taut. Although Xiu'er did not say it directly, it was very clear what he was thinking. The two dignified Tiger King s who had disguised themselves as guards from far away came to this enemy's encirclement of Tiger Running City, just for such a clumsy trap? Isn't that spending too much money? As long as the other party had a few more idiots, the two of them would not be able to leave today! Then why take the risk? Xiu'er did not say it out loud, but the words she said were very clear, if that's all you want, then forget it.
Xiu'er watched as Ninth Tiger King's smile slowly disappeared, the smile on her face did not decrease in the slightest, and without waiting for the other party's reply, she continued, ”I must say, since the two of you have decided to fight once, it's better to fight for it once. There were all kinds of fishes in the net. How many small fishes and shrimps were there for him to eat? ”If all those that come online are big fish and big prawns, it's hard to say whether they will be able to exchange it for a lifetime of wealth.”
This time, before Ninth Tiger King could speak, he couldn't take it anymore, ”Then how do you think we should fight?” On the spur of the moment, he had actually forgotten to say honorifics.
Ninth Tiger King turned his head and glared at the young Tenth Tiger King, and only after he had sat back down did she turn around and look at Xiu'er. If you are a straightforward person and do not beat around the bush, why don't you share your thoughts with us?
”Since the two Tiger King s dare to take the risk alone, I believe that they do not have no trump cards. And right now, what is most threatening us is the encirclement of us within the Tiger Running City. If we don't obey even a little bit, the great army will suppress the nation and even if we risk our lives to destroy this Tiger Running City, we will at least eliminate all of us here. At most, when we turn around, we can just blame all the deaths and injuries on us, the Fire Phoenix Chaos Army had massacred the citizens of Tiger Running City, and the Ninth Tiger King travelled thousands of miles to provide assistance, but in the end, they were unable to save the entire city. But, fortunately, the Fire Phoenix Chaos Army was annihilated, and a large nail was pulled out for Moqiu State! ” Speaking to that, the Xiu'er waved her hand and pointed to the map: ”If I'm not mistaken, the two Tiger King's heavy soldiers should be close to the Tiger Running City, of course you can't exclude the two's remaining troops that have gathered, form the second and third circle, if you want to kill a chicken, you have to use a cow blade, and strive to annihilate our army here.”
Ninth Tiger King forced a smile on his face: Lord Xiu is overthinking things. If it's really like this, why did the two of us specially come here?
Xiu'er smiled slightly: ”Of course it's not necessary to die. Since you are willing to come, then you naturally have the thought of doing business. Simply by surrounding them and killing them, the merits will not exceed the limits of your abilities. If the other Tiger King s attack the Phoenix City Pass forcefully, if the three Tiger King s who are in charge of protecting the nation aren't in charge of pacifying the chaos, who else can do it? It was only a matter of time before this matter was completed. If he couldn't do it well, she would be insulting the other party. It was only because the two of you have seen through this that you took the risk to enter the city, hoping to convince us to attack Mo Qiu from the north. Then, the two of you can hide, and exchange it in front of the Messenger of God for a greater contribution, right? ”
Ninth Tiger King and Tenth Tiger King looked at each other and frowned slightly. They did not say anything and did not comment much on what Xiu'er had said.
The Xiu'er did not expect them to answer directly either, instead, she directly asked, ”Two Your Highness Tiger King s, I have a better suggestion, do you want to listen to it?”
Ninth Tiger King opened his mouth and said, ”Please speak, Lord Xiu.”
He returned to the table and sat down. After taking a sip from the teacup in Chen Chu's hand, he said softly, ”I wonder if the Nine Your Highness Tiger King s are interested in the position of Messenger of God or the position of monarch? How about we carefully study and help the Nine Your Highness Tiger King s get to the Sovereign Profound Realm? ”
Her words were so light that it seemed as if the heavens would collapse and the earth would shatter when Ninth Tiger King heard them. He could no longer control his expression, and the muscles on the left side of his face sprung up several times. After a while, he shouted without the slightest bit of confidence, ”Lord Xiu cannot speak carelessly! This king is completely loyal to Beast God and Lord Messenger of God, I am even more obedient to monarch, how can I do such a disloyal and unrighteous thing?! This king came here this time just to earn a few more achievements and to also point out a way for the Lord Xiu to live on. I never thought that Lord Xiu would actually let me do such an outrageous thing! Forgive me for not being able to comply with your orders! There's no need to talk about it anymore! ”
Xiu'er had a faint smile on her face the entire time, as if she was looking at Ninth Tiger King with a funny expression. After he drank a few large cups of water in succession, Xiu'er finally said slowly: ”Nine Your Highness Tiger King s, you shouldn't refuse so quickly, why not listen to our thoughts?”
Ninth Tiger King's face darkened: No! There's no need to talk about this anymore! ”
The Xiu'er acted like she did not hear anything as she continued, ”In terms of age and qualifications, we are all considered juniors. If the younger generation has any flaws, Ninth Tiger King will not hesitate to give you some pointers, alright? ”
Ninth Tiger King's breathing became rough as he looked at Tenth Tiger King. Tenth Tiger King was young, and wasn't as stable as he was, so he simply lowered his head without making a sound.
Seeing the two of them acting this way, the corners of Xiu'er's mouth curled up as she said to Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi in a low voice, ”I'll say it first. If there's anything wrong, you two can make it up in time.” After that, she stood up again, grabbed a feather duster from the window, and walked to the front of the map. She held the feather duster upside down, pointing at the map with the bamboo pole while narrating her plan.
Xiu'er's plan was actually very simple. The first half of the plan was the same as Ninth Tiger King's; But under the Moqiu City, her train of thought changed. To put it bluntly, even if the Ninth Tiger King s of yours wanted to watch the show, they should not think of taking advantage of it. After the city had been destroyed, the two Tiger King's armies swept across the Moqiu City, and the Fire Phoenix Expeditionary Army took advantage of the chaos to retreat. When that time came, the news of their Moqiu City being broken would definitely disrupt their Moqiu Army, causing them to have no choice but to return to rescue them. This would also remove the encirclement of their Phoenix City Pass. As for the two Tiger King s, they could do whatever they wanted inside the Moqiu City to get rid of the Messenger of God before the Moqiu Army could be used as reinforcements. Whether it was taking the son of heaven in his place or becoming a duke by the time the situation was settled, no matter how unwilling the other Tiger King s were, there was nothing they could do.
Hearing this, Ninth Tiger King sneered, ”Lord Xiu, forgive this king for speaking bluntly. The Moqiu City is a Millennium Ancient City, the residence of the Beast God, how can one charge in under the attacks of over a thousand people?! ”
The Xiu'er shook her head, ”We will not attack the city, when that happens, the Ninth Tiger King will send people to open the city gates, working together. We can even avoid entering the city, and leave the moment the city gates open. The entire city can be left to the Ninth Tiger King and the Tenth Tiger King. Could it be that Ninth Tiger King is unable to even mix in Moqiu City? ”
”You ~ ~ ~” Ninth Tiger King choked to death, and then continued after a long while, ”We're going hundreds or thousands of miles to Mo Qiu, how can you, a mere thousand people, pass through? Needless to say the strong Fourth Tiger King, even the garrison troops that have been ordered to rob and attack along the way have consumed most of your energy! ”
