Zhan Qin noticed her change and said gently, "Have you thought of a solution?"
"Not yet." Chu Jinjin stood up, her dejected expression carried away by the evening breeze. "You think Mu Wei has revealed all his trump cards by now?"
There is a significant difference between a half-zombie and a zombie.
The former is not that strong or fast; the only problem is that ordinary weapons are useless, so you have to destroy their brains.
If that's really the case, then they might have a fighting chance.
"Mu Wei's purpose is obvious. He wants to make exorbitant demands, including the half-zombies you mentioned, Jin Jin, and the Northern Army. But in reality, he probably doesn't have absolute certainty." Zhan Qin was a good listener. "Just imagine, if he had the strength to take over the world, he would have acted long ago."
Chu Jinjin agreed: "I'm planning to go to Black Eagle Mountain Village soon."
Zhan Qin frowned: "You want to seek Jiedu's help?"
"It's a mixed bag. If the Northern Desert army is pressing in, they'll definitely have to pass through Black Eagle Stronghold. Ordinary soldiers are afraid of what half-zombies are good at." Chu Jinjin drew a line and analyzed confidently, "Judging from Mu Wei's performance, they'll most likely take him down along the way."
The geographical advantage that Black Hawk Mountain Village relied on simply doesn't exist with the half-zombies. The simplest way is to use their bodies to create a human form, since they can't die as long as their brains are still intact.
Chu Jinjin said softly, "I want to add something to the hot air balloon."
Zhan Qin didn't understand: "Hot air balloon?"
Chu Jinjin never mentioned this matter.
Now that she had revealed her deepest secrets, she felt a sense of relief she had never experienced before, and had nothing to worry about. The various guns, weapons, and technologies left Zhan Qin speechless.
At this moment, in the palace, the time for weapons to be drawn finally arrived.
"Your Highness has come from afar, I would like to offer you a toast." Yuan Tianyou raised his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. He felt more confident and said with a smile, "Although our dynasty and the Northern Desert have had occasional conflicts, we have always been friendly nations. I hope that we can cooperate more in the future. For example, the snow silkworms from the Northern Desert are very popular among the noble ladies in the capital."
The advantages and disadvantages of the northern desert are both obvious.
The local people are known for their fierce and warlike nature, but their economy has never taken off; it seems their talents lie entirely in warfare.
This time, military intimidation alone is not enough to win them over; we also need to provide sufficient conditions.
Yuan Tianyou's words were discussed by the ministers and Xiao Huai together, and they were full of sincerity. The economic disparity between the two countries gave Bei Mo a greater opportunity to become stronger.
Mu Wei's expression changed slightly. He picked up the wine and drank it down in one gulp, but did not respond.
“When the late Emperor was alive, the Northern Army harbored rebellious intentions. The late Emperor cared for the people and did not want them to suffer from the ravages of war. But things are different now. Zheng Zhengfeng dared to use natural disasters as a bargaining chip. If this is allowed to continue, he may become even more insane.” Yuan Tianyou narrowed his old eyes and said in a low voice, “The Emperor plans to send troops soon. Prince Mu, what do you think?”
Some things can't be said directly, but everyone understands.
For example, the existence of half-zombies.
Take, for example, the stance of Bei Mo.
Mu Wei said calmly, "Xiao Wang thinks it's feasible."
Yuan Tianyou immediately perked up: "Really?"
Mu Wei shrugged: "Of course, the Northern Army's forces are nothing without the help of my Northern Desert."
Yuan Tianyou and Xiao Huai exchanged a glance.
I'm not sure what his attitude is anymore.
"Your Majesty, let's get straight to the point. I can refuse to help the Northern Army, and I can even help you instead. As for the condition, I only have one." Mu Wei bowed deeply. "Your Majesty, I wish to ask for Miss Chu's hand in marriage. Please grant me your permission."
The main hall was quiet, almost deathly still.
Everyone forgot to breathe; it was both unexpected and not unexpected.
Xiao Huai clenched his fists, on the verge of exploding. He hadn't even dealt with Zhan Qin yet, and now another one had come along.
As far as the government is concerned, Chu Jinjin is extremely important. Just look at the competition to see that she killed twenty-eight Northern Desert soldiers by herself. Without her, the country would have lost all face.
No matter where war breaks out in the future, with her there, we'll have an extra pillar of stability.
“Your Highness may not know this, but Miss Chu is a free woman, and she can decide her own marriage.” Yuan Tianyou forced himself to calm down and said with a smile, “As long as she agrees, the Emperor will certainly not refuse.”
Mu Wei understood the meaning behind his words and honestly replied, "I can't beat her. No one in the Northern Desert can beat her, so I humbly request Your Majesty to grant us a marriage. She is a subject of Your Majesty and I dare not disobey."
My trip to the capital this time was partly to test the waters, and partly, of course, because of Chu Jinjin.
He himself wasn't actually that worried.
So what if he's powerful? Can he be more powerful than a half-zombie?
Until Chu Jinjin made her move.
Apart from him, no one else knew the secret of the half-zombies. Chu Jinjin actually found a way to deal with them, which made him both curious and apprehensive.
How did she know?
Mu Wei revealed his trump card, his gaze leisurely: "To be honest, Your Majesty, the number of soldiers who died today in the Northern Desert was a full ten thousand."
The hall became even quieter, and everyone's expression changed.
Ten thousand people!
If one can deal with a battle-hardened general, what would it be like to have ten thousand?
Yuan Tianyou sneered: "Prince Mu, may I take this as a threat?"
"I am threatening you. Bei Mo has no intention of being an enemy of the Emperor. If Your Majesty grants your permission, Bei Mo is willing to pay any price." Mu Wei's expression was unusually sincere. "To be honest, Your Majesty, the Northern Army did contact Bei Mo a long time ago. As long as Your Majesty grants your permission, you don't need to send troops. I will personally lead the troops to take Zheng Zhengfeng's head as a betrothal gift."
His sincerity couldn't be more genuine.
Even Xiao Huai's anger gradually subsided.
Without the imperial court sending troops, the northern army was wiped out directly.
Mu Wei raised his hand to signal the servant behind him to come over and place his hand on the table. Before anyone could react, he suddenly drew his dagger and slashed down heavily.
The servant's five fingers were cut off.
Not much blood was lost.
But what's even stranger is that the servant didn't react at all, as if he hadn't cut off his finger. He even obeyed the order to pick up the finger and then obediently stepped back.
Even though they had witnessed the competition and knew that the soldiers of the Northern Desert did not feel pain, everyone was still deeply shocked.
The five fingers are connected to the heart.
He didn't even react when his finger was cut off?
“Just as Miss Chu did, my vital point as a soldier is my head.” Mu Wei frankly admitted. Since he had already been discovered, there was no need to hide it anymore. He said calmly, “But what if I were wearing a helmet?”
The vital organs that the human body considers to be the heart and throat are no problem for him at all.
Just protect your head.
Mu Wei looked deeply at Xiao Huai: "Your Majesty, I am not exaggerating, but ten thousand soldiers are enough to defeat a hundred thousand or a million. And now, you only need to grant a marriage to him to gain a most loyal ally and avoid a fierce battle."
Mu Wei lifted his robe and knelt down heavily: "Your Majesty, please grant my request. I am willing to marry Miss Chu as my principal wife and will never take a concubine for the rest of my life."
The main hall was completely silent.
