Chapter 361 If They Want It, Give It to Them
After playing and laughing for a while, the fire became brighter and everyone sat around it to keep warm and roast sweet potatoes.
Because the little tail followed, Tianbao didn't let Su Wangbai out again.
This is to prevent the sudden addition of one person to the team from spreading to other countries and causing suspicion and complications.
"Sister, Wang Bai is also an iron man, why is he the only one who can burrow underground, while other iron men can't?" Wheat Ear leaned on her sister and acted coquettishly. She didn't hold back when she thought of something strange, and asked right away.
Speaking of this topic, Su Wen also had some doubts. "What's even stranger is that the eight living dead are surprisingly obedient in front of Wang Bai. The living dead have no thoughts or consciousness. I'm extremely curious how Wang Bai can make them obey."
For a moment, several pairs of eyes stared at Tianbao, waiting for his doubts to be clarified.
This question stumped Tianbao.
She hesitated for a moment and considered, "Maybe he was scared by Wang Bai's beating?"
“…” Everyone had a blank expression on their faces.
Iron men without thoughts and consciousness, tell me, do they know how to write the word fear?
Tianbao touched his nose.
She didn't know the reason either.
I only know that there must be some difference between Wang Bai and the living dead.
For example, staying in the same space, Wang Bai gradually developed human consciousness, but the living dead did not change at all.
Release the living dead, and they will still draw their swords and chop her down.
Bai Yu sat across from the girl, chin in his hand. He took in her expression and pondered for a moment before speaking. "The beasts of the mountains are usually ferocious, but before the king of beasts, they unconsciously lose their momentum. Is it possible that there's some kind of natural suppression between Wang Bai and the living dead? Perhaps even iron men are divided into different classes?"
Su Wu clapped his hands, as if suddenly realizing something, "Just like ordinary people are naturally afraid of officials!"
Du Buqin hissed and looked at Su Wu with a new respect. "Wu boy, what you said is right. This old man can understand!"
Bai Yu, "Grandpa Du, I said it first."
The old man glanced at him coldly, "Grandpa is forcing himself not to punish you, so don't keep jumping around in front of me!"
Bai Yu, "..."
Everyone except Tianbao, “Hahahahaha!”
Before the support from the nine countries arrived, Tianbao and his group were not in a hurry to reach the top of the mountain.
The best opportunity will come when large armies from various countries arrive and are so busy arguing over the issue of the magic weapons that they have no time to take care of anything else.
Otherwise the person hiding behind will have time to cause trouble.
With each passing day, the mountain becomes colder.
The group walked up slowly and playfully, as if the mountain had gone through the three seasons of summer, autumn and winter.
From the dense forest at the foot of the mountain, I walked to the mountainside with withered grass and yellow leaves, and then to the upper part gradually covered with white frost and ice flowers. I watched the snow fall with my own eyes, covering the mountaintop with white.
November.
The foot of the mountain became lively.
Each country sent civil and military officials to discuss matters concerning the magic weapons.
The civil officials were responsible for arguing with the scholars and making arguments based on their arguments.
Military generals are responsible for deterring with force and are ready to start fighting at any time.
At this point, no matter big or small countries, they all refused to give in.
At night, there were tents connected to each other at the foot of the mountain, and the lights were on all night long.
In the Beixiang camp, Commander Ji Xintang stood respectfully and addressed the man in brocade robes seated above him, saying, "...We still haven't reached a conclusion today, but the countries are pressing each other at the negotiating table. The situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable for Beixiang. Your Highness, we must quickly come up with a plan to deal with this. We can't let this go on any longer. The Shu Road is originally our Beixiang border. What do the other countries have to do with what we find here? They're trying to rob us! How can Beixiang be easily bullied!"
The man didn't say anything. The flickering flame of the candle beside him reflected the flickering expression on his face.
But the man has always been deep, and it is difficult to guess his thoughts from his current expression.
Ji Xintang was anxious and secretly glanced at the guard beside the man, hoping that he could give him some hints.
The guard shook his head silently at him, signaling him to stay calm.
After a while, the man finally spoke in a calm voice, "All the nations have gathered here for the divine weapon. In that case, let's make it known at the negotiation table tomorrow. Everyone will rely on their ability. Whoever can capture the divine weapon on the Shu Road will get it. The quickest hand will win, the slowest will lose."
Ji Xintang and Feiyun's expressions changed at the same time, "Your Majesty?!"
"A few iron men who only appeared once. If they want it, give it to them."
The man stood up from his chair, flicked his sleeves, and said calmly, "Tell them that the deadline is three months. Once the three months are up, regardless of whether the magic weapon is found or not, all countries must immediately withdraw from our Beixiang Shu Road, and from now on, they must recognize that the ownership of Shu Road belongs only to Beixiang.
In addition, the concessions made by Beixiang on the issue of the magic weapon are for the purpose of maintaining friendly relations with neighboring countries and also to demonstrate that Beixiang has no intention of taking it all for itself. Other countries should also know when to stop.
Therefore, the iron ore at the foot of Tianfeng Mountain belongs exclusively to Beixiang. Anyone who objects to this will be kicked out of Shu Road immediately!
Being magnanimous doesn't mean being afraid of trouble. I, Beixiang, can give in, but I can also fight! If you don't accept it, come and try!"
After hearing this, Ji Xintang's anxiety turned into joy, and he bowed his head and replied, "I obey your order!"
He is also a veteran in officialdom, and he can infer a lot from these words.
Each country had its own thoughts and had previously refused to acknowledge the full ownership of the Shu Road.
But this time, if the countries want to obtain the magic weapon, they must agree to the prince's conditions.
The prince gave up the magic weapon in exchange for the ownership of Shu Road and the small iron mine. It seemed like he had lost out, but in fact it was not the case.
Just as the prince said, the Iron Man only appeared once, and no matter how hard they looked for him, there was no trace of him.
In three months, the countries may not be able to gain anything.
The most important point is that although he does not understand whether the prince has other intentions behind this, he is extremely convinced of the prince in his heart.
For so many years, the prince has assisted the government as regent, bringing prosperity to the country, and his every word and action has been an example to the court.
Since the prince has made up his mind, there must be other rules!
In short, Beixiang will not suffer any loss!
