At the same time, in Banqui's palace, the queen had walked out of the hall, raised her head slightly, and quietly watched the fireworks blooming in the sky.
There was an unconcealable smile on the corner of his mouth.
As soon as Donna arrived, she was dazzled by the beauty of her king.
Even though Banqui was poor, the queen was of royal birth after all. Her food, clothing and other expenses were not comparable to those of ordinary people, and her appearance and demeanor were naturally extraordinary.
In recent days, with the arrival of Immortal Langyun, Bankui's development has been progressing steadily, and the queen's mood has improved a lot.
Now she was standing on the steps, her long chestnut hair loose, looking like floating gold in the sunlight, and there was not a single flaw on her delicate face.
Donna was born into a military family and doesn't know how to use too many fancy words.
Anyway, in her own words, the queen is the most beautiful person she has ever seen, no doubt about it.
The queen also noticed her, lowered her eyes, looked at her and smiled.
Then I saw Gu Lexin beside Donna.
The queen's expression immediately became serious.
She knew very well that this Valley Fairy looked gentle and harmless, but she was the most powerful among the many fairies who came to Banqui.
Not to mention anything else, just the round bomb that exploded when thrown out made the queen deeply understand the gap between immortals and mortals.
The queen then straightened her expression and said seriously, "Fairy, what brings you here?"
Gu Lexin smiled but didn't say anything. She just quietly poked Donna beside her.
The captain of the guards finally came to his senses and hurried forward, bowing and saying, "I have just come from the barracks and have something to report."
If the queen didn't know her purpose just now, then now, from the fireworks, to Gu Lexin, and then to the barracks, a little connection would make her realize that some magical weapon might have appeared.
But the Queen did not ask immediately.
She glanced at the guards on either side, then lifted her skirt and slowly walked down the stone steps, saying with a smile, "Come with me to take a look first, we'll talk on the way." Then she turned to Gu Lexin, "Fairy, do you want to go with us?"
Gu Lexin smiled gently and said, "Okay."
Recently, Donna, the captain of the guards, has often traveled with the queen. Most of the time, they do not use any means of transportation. They just walk around the palace and talk to the people to understand their sentiments, but they do not go to far places.
But this time, the Queen got straight into the carriage.
Donna originally wanted to ride a horse to accompany the attendant, but the queen did not give her a chance to hesitate. She simply grabbed her wrist and took the captain of the guard up with her.
The Queen's carriage was very spacious, but Donna sat extremely cautiously, wishing she could shrink herself and merge with the carriage wall behind her.
There was no way. With her own king next to her and Fairy Langyun opposite her, she would naturally feel restrained.
Gu Lexin seemed much more at ease.
She took out a blueprint and handed it to the queen, saying seriously, "This is a device that has just been successfully tested. It's primarily defensive, but also has a certain deterrent effect. Combined with the ironware we manufactured earlier, it's enough to ensure Banqui's safety."
The Queen took the drawing and took a look at it.
Hmm, I don’t understand.
She then calmly put the map aside and said with a smile, "According to the immortal's prediction, can we resist those who covet it?"
Gu Lexin said without hesitation: "It's enough to deal with ordinary ships."
After hearing this, the smile on the queen's face immediately became much more genuine.
Donna, who was standing by, said at the right moment, "Your Majesty, can we allow caravans from other countries to come in and trade?"
She is particularly positive about this matter. After all, all the hard work in recent months is to achieve this goal.
But now that everything is ready, the queen did not nod immediately.
She raised her eyes slightly and looked around the carriage.
I have to say that the Queen’s car is comfortable enough.
Whether it is the soft cushions or the fragrant tea on the small table, everything exudes exquisiteness.
Everything was brought in by merchants from Qi and Zhou.
After the queen sat down, she touched the embroidery on the cushions and whispered, "Bankui has always been poor. Although separated by the sea, they have always yearned for the prosperity of Qi and Zhou. They are proud to imitate Qi and Zhou in their clothing and daily necessities."
For Donna, this is a matter of course.
In other words, all the Banqui people didn't think anything was wrong.
The Queen then continued, "I remember that all nations praised Banque for its lush vegetation and diverse fauna, and for preserving the pristine natural environment. This is something the Banque people are very proud of."
Donna was about to nod, but suddenly saw Gu Lexin frowning.
This change in expression startled the captain of the guards, and he immediately shut his mouth wisely.
The Queen asked, "Does the fairy feel something is wrong?"
Gu Lexin’s first reaction was what Ji Liang had said before.
“Generally speaking, undeveloped areas have good greenery, but they tend to be poor.”
It is absolutely appropriate to apply this to Banqui.
Before they came, people here lived in trees!
Literally living in trees.
However, the first agreement Lang Yun reached with the system after crossing over was not to interfere in the internal affairs of the indigenous people here, and they really had no intention of intervening.
Gu Lexin was silent for a moment before she said softly, "If this is what you wish for, then of course it's nothing. But if it's someone else's request of you, then there's a good chance it's a trap."
Donna looked confused, but the Queen smiled and sighed.
Setting the soft pillow aside, Queen Banqui straightened her posture and said, "Yes, they want us to build the largest botanical garden and zoo. They want the Banqui people to live in trees and become rare animals for people to admire." She paused. "As for production and development, they think they're unnecessary. Of course, if we all starve to death, they can just send a ship and take this land away. Wouldn't that be even better?"
This is a blunt statement, and even if it is just an understatement, it can make people's blood pressure rise.
Donna had never thought of this possibility and was stunned for a moment. Then, after a moment's thought, she looked furious: "Those guys..."
But the queen interrupted her directly: "That's understandable. If I were the king of those countries, I would also want another botanical garden on this continent, not another capable and wealthy country competing with me for it."
Donna: ...
Your Majesty, what you said is really hard to accept.
Gu Lexin laughed and said softly, "It's rare to find a king as frank as you."
The Queen smiled back, then reached out and lifted the curtain of the carriage.
At this time, they had left the palace and walked out of the long cave, and were already walking on the new road that had just been paved.
The roadsides are still lush with greenery, but compared to before when there were only dense forests, there are now many more buildings.
The market, with rows of wooden houses and brick houses under construction, has already attracted many vendors.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the factory with white smoke billowing in the distance.
The Queen actually has no idea what these places are used for.
She is the king, the ruler of a country. The management of these matters is delegated to the ministers. If she had to do everything herself, she would probably have been exhausted to death long ago.
But the Queen could see that Banqui was now more lively, more active, and busier than before.
In contrast, the once busy temple was now extremely deserted, with its gates closed, and it was obvious that not many people went there.
Banqui also followed suit with his divine right of kings. Donna, fearing her king would be unhappy, advised, "I think it's because things have been so busy lately that everyone has neglected it. I believe this place will soon be prosperous again."
But the Queen said, "No one is a good thing."
Donna: “Uh… huh?”
The Queen said calmly, "Before, they had nothing to do, so they went to worship. This behavior is called, called..."
Seeing her voice pause, Gu Lexin added softly: "Don't ask about the common people, ask about ghosts and gods."
The Queen nodded immediately. "Yes, that's right. This isn't a good thing. It's actually good that they can find other things to do now." She couldn't help but glance outside. "It's better to be busy, it's better to be busy."
Being busy means having something to do, which means you can have a better life.
Besides, they still have faith.
Langyun is their belief.
What we believe in is not only God, but also a new, beautiful life that allows us to stand up as human beings.
After all, her country did not fall in her hands.
Thinking of this, the queen closed her eyes, allowing the water vapor that had not yet formed to slowly dissipate.
Gu Lexin also took a look outside, and when he saw Teacher Bian, he stopped the carriage: "I have something to discuss with him."
The Queen naturally did not stop her and watched her leave with a smile.
Then the carriage started moving again and everything inside became quiet.
After a long while, the queen finally said, "Although the door must be opened, you must also be more careful."
Donna asked carefully, "I am stupid."
The queen had lost her gentle demeanor and now looked a bit tired. Her eyes narrowed slightly, but her voice remained clear. "Although we have established several schools of varying sizes in Banque, following the immortal's guidance, we are still in the early stages of development. Education levels are low, and the people are still young and vulnerable to deception. Therefore, even though we are welcoming foreign caravans, we must maintain a close watch and prevent the spread of strange ideas."
Donna immediately thought of the idea of the large botanical garden just now, and she couldn't help but shudder and quickly responded.
The queen's fingertips brushed the edge of the teacup, but she didn't drink it. Instead, she leaned back on the soft pillow with some weariness.
Donna sat closer, reached out and gently massaged her shoulders, sighing, "It's really not easy for the king."
I originally thought that my queen stayed in the palace every day and didn't do much, but now it seems that she is studying all the time, worrying about Banqui, and thinking carefully about everything.
For Captain Donna, who is used to solving problems with force, using her brain is definitely a difficult task, and she gets a headache just thinking about it.
The queen chuckled softly, leaning against the side of the carriage. She looked at the people toiling away in the distance and suddenly said, "Compared to them, I'm already quite fortunate. It would be hypocritical to complain about the hardship and fatigue at this moment."
Donna was stunned when she heard this, and quickly said, "It's just that the direction of effort is different. The king has also suffered a lot. Back then, for the sake of the people of Bankui, the king chose to sacrifice himself even though he knew there was little hope. If the Immortal Langyun hadn't come, I'm afraid he would have really thrown himself into the sea of fire. Everyone in Bankui is deeply grateful for this scene and will never forget it."
The Queen smiled at her, knowing she was sincere, and she was well aware of Donna's seriousness.
In this man's heart, no matter what she becomes, as long as she is the king, Donna will always be loyal and reliable.
Blind loyalty? Maybe.
But this also gained the Queen's full trust.
There are many things that you cannot say to outsiders, but you can say to this person.
So, the Queen was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Do you really think that I chose the sacrifice voluntarily?"
Donna nodded immediately, but soon paused, looked up in surprise, and looked at her king.
Then I saw that the queen was still smiling, but there was no trace of laughter in her emerald eyes, and her voice had lost its warmth. "I am afraid. Not only of death, but also of my cowardice will be known to the gods, and they will treat my people even more harshly."
But in Donna's heart, the queen has always been brave, fearless, and even comparable to a god.
Hearing the queen say this now, she couldn't help but look shocked: "But the king said at that time that it wasn't death, but returning to the embrace of the gods."
The queen glanced at her with a smile and said softly, "Have you forgotten what Immortal Langyun said?"
Donna tried hard to recall, but she felt that the immortals had said a lot, and she really didn't know which one it was, so she said honestly: "I am stupid, please guide me, Your Majesty."
Then the queen said calmly, "You are already so old, don't always believe in feudal superstitions. It's not good."
Donna: ...
Although the immortals did say this, the captain of the guards now didn't know whether the person who said this was strange or the person who believed this was outrageous.
But soon, the queen smiled and said, "Fortunately, the immortals have taught me a lot since they came, especially the immortal surnamed Bian. He told me many stories, many of which involved kings. He really helped me understand a lot."
"Is Qi still the Zhou?"
"No, he was talking about someone I'd never heard of before, the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, and someone who was used as a negative example."
As she spoke, she exhaled lightly and raised her hands, wanting to gather the hair around her ears, but she quickly stopped and stared at her hands.
Her fingertips are white and well-maintained, and the gem ring she wears is gorgeous and beautiful.
After looking at it for a long time, the queen whispered, "Look, this ring was left to me by my mother. It is priceless. My hands are so white because I soaked them in milk every day."
Donna didn't know why she said that, so she just nodded obediently: "Your Majesty will naturally use the best."
She said this as a matter of course.
But the Queen smiled and shook her head, her tone gentle and lingering: "I am also a human being, no different."
If someone else had said this, Donna would have arrested that person for disrespecting the king and thrown him into jail to calm him down!
But when it was the Queen herself who said this...
This made the captain of the guards very confused.
The queen's voice did not stop: "I am the king of Banqui. From the day I was born, the immortals of the side made me understand that I enjoy treatment far beyond that of ordinary people, but all of this comes at a price. When necessary, sacrifice is required."
This was the first time Donna heard of such a thing and she couldn't help but look surprised.
The Queen said calmly, "Rights and responsibilities have always been bound together. Now that I have power, I must shoulder the responsibilities that I should shoulder. I can never escape from them."
But if you want to share the responsibility, there is actually a way.
At least Teacher Bian gave her some absolutely effective advice.
Seeing Donna's stunned expression, the Queen considerately stopped talking.
Some things still need to be taken slowly.
Donna was indeed confused by these new ideas.
After many days, she still didn't understand, so she decided to go and ask the immortal.
But before she could find Lang Yun's people, she received the news -
A merchant ship is approaching Banque.
Donna immediately rushed to the beach and took the time to ask, "Do you know where this caravan is coming from?"
In her opinion, although Banque had always kept its borders closed, Qi was just across the sea. In addition, the official caravans led by Colliver had mostly been to Qi and Zhou these days, so the caravans coming now were most likely from these two places.
Unexpectedly, the reply he received was: "Sir, the flag flying on that merchant ship is defending the country."
…???
At this time, the people on the Wei merchant ship were also quite nervous.
Li Zheng, the leader of this caravan, was standing on the deck at the moment. He looked calm and composed, but his eyes were fixed on the endless sea.
Seeing this, the attendant beside him could not help but ask respectfully, "Sir, don't you want to go and rest?"
Li Zheng shook his head, frowning slightly, his voice a little tense: "I want to stay here. You should also pass the order and tell them not to let their guard down. This sea area is not peaceful, so we should always be vigilant."
The attendant immediately took the order and left.
But Zhong Zuo, a Weiguo merchant dressed in fancy clothes, said, "You're being too cautious. The sea is calm, how could there be any danger?"
Li Zheng glanced at him and said nothing, but he couldn't help feeling disgusted.
This trip to Bankui Country was the result of the Li family's repeated inquiries.
As people of Wei, they were not as rich as Qi, nor as powerful as Zhou, but they were still able to become one of the strongest of the three countries, relying on their agility and sense of smell.
This allowed the Wei State to have the best of both worlds and remain standing thanks to its business dealings.
Although we don’t know what happened in Banqui this time, the Li family has been keeping their eyes on this place since the day they decided to block the coastline.
When something is unusual, there must be something fishy going on.
No matter it is good or bad, in the eyes of the Wei people there is only one thing -
business opportunities.
Everyone knows that wealth and honor come at the cost of risk.
Since this was the case, they naturally did not want to fall behind. Even though they knew that bandits were rampant in this sea area, they still came here early.
Zhong Zuo was a descendant of the Zhong family, a wealthy family in Wei State. Li Zheng went with him to seek help from the Zhong family.
But in my heart I still look down on you.
Not to mention anything else, the fact that the Zhong family demoted their legitimate son who had lost his legs and instead raised a useless person as their heir was enough to make outsiders laugh at them.
Not to mention that the legitimate son who had lost his identity is now a famous wealthy businessman. With the help of the fairyland, his crippled leg was restored, and he made a fortune in the cotton business.
Sometimes, people are not afraid of difficulties, but are afraid that the control group will have an easier time.
The word "comparison" is the most frustrating.
However, Li Zheng didn't show his disdain on the surface. He simply said, "When you're out there, it's always better to be careful. Although there are many good people on the ship, it would still be troublesome if we encountered banditry."
Zhong Zuo curled his lips, not taking it seriously, and only muttered softly: "To be able to make this trip, those who wear it are all willing to pay more for money than for life. What is there to be afraid of?"
Li Zheng looked away and pretended not to hear.
Zhong Zuo didn't want to argue with him, so he quickly talked about another matter: "Before going this time, I sent someone to investigate. The items purchased by the Bankui caravan were very mixed, but there was one item that was quite bright."
Li Zheng finally looked him in the eye: "What is it?"
Zhong Zuo looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, then he said softly, "Tractor."
Li Zheng's pupils shrank instantly.
The reason is simple: this item is extremely rare in all countries today.
Many people have only heard of it but have never seen it.
All I know is that this is Langyun’s gift and will be given to the most devout believers.
This has led to the extraordinary prosperity of the economy of immortal temples in various places, and the real estate business led by the business school has made a lot of money.
The county towns that received the tractors would be proud of them and would not let others see them easily. They would also send special guards for fear that they would be damaged if they were looked at too many times.
Of course, as a pure businessman, Li Zheng was envious but never thought about doing this business.
After all, this thing cannot be obtained and cannot be afforded, so the conditions for doing business do not exist at all.
He was concerned with another thing—
The presence of the tractor proves that Bankui is engaged in construction.
It’s just a small noise!
Hearing this, Li Zheng frowned: "Could it be that Lang Yun has also noticed them?"
This made Zhong Zuo sneer. Perhaps because he sensed Li Zheng's disdain, Zhong Zuo's words were also a bit sarcastic. "Come on, such a poor place, do you think they can build a temple for immortals or even engage in farming? Those Bankui people can't even build a house. They don't even dare to go to Fengwei Mountain where Langyun is. I guess they will tremble and be speechless when they see an immortal."
Li Zheng still frowned slightly: "Then where did their tractors come from?"
Zhong Zuo seemed to have known the outcome long ago and said proudly, "My family has thought about this a long time ago. Most likely, Qi State promised them some benefits in order to win over Ban Kui. You know, Ban Kui has a lot of trees, and Qi State is engaged in shipbuilding and house construction, so the demand for trees is not small."
This painting enlightened Li Zheng: "Are you saying that Qi and Ban Kui are going to form an alliance? They have also formed an alliance with Zhou before. If that happens, who on this continent can be stronger than them? How can we, the Wei State, have any place to stand?"
The more he spoke, the tighter his brow furrowed.
Rather than saying that Wei State was a major trading country, it would be better to say that they were masters of balancing the two.
Always neutral and impartial.
To put it nicely, it is a neutral country, to put it bluntly, it is capitulationism.
Whoever comes will just lie down and buy peace with money.
Although Qi and Zhou had a good relationship in the past, neither of them would submit to the other, and Wei could find a balance point in the middle.
But now it’s different. Not only do these two countries get together, they are even starting to pull other countries together!
If they cannot defeat the Weiguo and do not want to join, won’t they be doomed on the spot?
If the country is gone, then these businessmen will be lambs to be slaughtered and will be nothing.
Thinking of this, Li Zheng felt that the originally gentle sea breeze suddenly became cold.
It was spring, but he was shivering.
Seeing this person starting to develop a conspiracy theory, Zhong Zuo didn't think that way. He just said, "No matter what they think, as long as we can prevent Ban Kui from siding with them, that's all."
Li Zheng looked at him and asked in a deep voice, "What are you going to do?"
Zhong Zuo grinned, but there was a hint of greed in his eyes: "Let Bankui and Qi turn against each other."
About half an hour later, the merchant ship saw the beach of Banqui Kingdom.
Zhong Zuo looked excited, as if he had seen the code to wealth.
But Li Zheng still didn't relax and was still a little confused.
Logically speaking, this sea area is indeed full of bandits and maritime disasters are rampant, which is why the Li family had to join forces with the Zhong family and spend a lot of money to rent a merchant ship that they believed to have the best defenses to go out to sea.
Fortunately, the journey was smooth and there was not even a trace of pirates.
This is quite strange.
Were the rumors wrong? Or were they deceived by the Qi people who sold them the ship?
Yu Xiaohai, who was counting money at the shipyard at the time, said: "A-choo! Who is talking about me?"
Zhong Zuo's eyes were shining as he stared at the people on the beach.
Standing there to greet them were the guards led by Donna and Colliver.
He has been traveling between various countries with his caravan these days. Although he still has that handsome face without the beard, the temperament between his eyebrows is very different and very calm.
Green eyes stared at the flag, and Colliver said softly, "It is indeed defending the country."
Donna sighed, "I never expected them to be the first to arrive, but this is a good thing. Compared to Qi and Zhou, their national strength is not strong, so they should be easier to deal with."
Colliver said, "Never neglect any businessman, especially one from a country with so many merchants like this."
"Why?"
"Ordinary people cherish their lives, but they are willing to sacrifice their lives for money."
Donna was stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to speak, she saw that Colliver, who had just looked indifferent, had smiled and walked towards the Wei people who were getting off the boat.
At this time, Colliver was wearing a cloak that covered his broad arms and fists as big as sandbags, making him look harmless.
Coupled with that delicate and fair face, it is easy to make people fall in love with her.
He smiled and bowed, saying, "Welcome guests from afar."
Li Zheng and Zhong Zuo also returned the greeting and looked around inconspicuously.
The teachers and students of Langyun were very careful about their actions on Bankui, so no traces were found on the beach. In addition, the dense forest blocked most of the view, and it was far away from the key construction cities, so this place really looked like a seaside botanical garden.
So the two of them looked at each other and saw the understanding in each other's eyes.
Obviously, they felt that the Banques were still the same Banques who lived in trees and would not use the good things they got.
Zhong Zuo's mind immediately became active.
Donna had already stepped forward and explained her identity. Then, with a cold expression, she asked in the common language, which she wasn't very fluent in, "I wonder what brings you to Banque?"
Li Zhengdao: "Can we wait and talk about it?"
Donna's face darkened: "No."
Although she was not very smart, she was extremely obedient and always remembered the queen's instructions.
Be sure to ask the person's intentions before letting him/her in.
However, the captain of the guards felt that the people of Wei came here just to do business.
Then just leave it to Colliver.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Zuo opened his mouth and said, "We are here to help you build."
……ah?
Donna widened her eyes slightly, having really not expected such a response.
Colliver narrowed his eyes, but still had a clean smile: "I wonder what you mean by that, sir?"
Zhong Zuo straightened his expression and said seriously, "You Bankui want to build a country now, right?"
Colliver nodded, and Donna nodded too.
Zhong Zuo: "In that case, you will definitely need to build a lot of things, from houses to roads. None of them are easy tasks, but I'm afraid the price you will have to pay will be quite high."
Donna blinked and thought silently.
Is there a price? It seems that there is, and that is to change one's beliefs and obey the orders of the Langyun Immortals.
And cooperate to complete tasks such as "build ten houses", "burn one hundred bricks", and "check the body regularly".
Although there is always a time limit and you have to check your teeth ten times, it is ultimately something useful to your country, so using the word "cost" doesn't seem appropriate.
But Colliver laughed and said, "Everything has a price, doesn't it?"
This ambiguous statement is just said to trick the other party.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Zuo said directly: "But what you pay is not only money and property, but also the environment. These trees are going to be cut down for no reason. I am afraid that this ocean will become bustling and cause a lot of damage."
Colliver smiled but said nothing, just looking the person in front of him up and down.
Donna, on the other hand, once again thought of the remarks made by the large botanical garden.
It seemed as if someone was forcing her to live in the trees again.
The captain of the guards quickly became alert and was about to draw his sword.
Aren’t they Banqui people human beings?
Why should they be treated as ornamental animals? Don’t they deserve to live a good life?
But before she could lose her temper, Colliver had already pulled her aside and whispered in Banquay, "Does your Excellency notice anything is wrong?"
Donna suppressed her anger and snorted coldly: "I don't know what's wrong exactly, but anyone who says that kind of thing is not a good person."
Colliver, however, still had the heart to smile, his voice remarkably steady. "I suspect these Wei people have some misunderstandings about us. I don't know what they are, but it's clear they want to secretly take over the construction work."
Donna was stunned for a moment: "They want to help us with construction, why are they so cautious? Why not just say it directly? It's not a bad thing."
Colliver said, "Your Excellency probably doesn't know how much profit there is to be made from this construction. If we leave it to them, do you believe that the bricks they make will be worth as much as gold bricks?"
Donna didn't believe it at first.
But thinking back to the Queen's instructions... she felt it would be better for her to believe it.
Then Colliver continued, "In that case, we must make these guests who have come from afar give up these unrealistic ideas."
Donna was startled. "What are you trying to do?" Then she thought for a moment. "It's a bit troublesome if so many people are gone at once. You should do it in a more covert way, not too obviously. How about I have someone dig a pit or find a stone to sink into the sea?"
This time it was Colliver's turn to be surprised.
I never expected that the captain of the guards, who usually seemed quite easy to talk to, would just open his mouth and kill everyone...
You are still cruel.
Colliver said with a mixture of laughter and tears, "Misunderstandings are inevitable between people. It's better to resolve them instead of wiping them out the moment we meet. Besides, we're doing business. If we kill everyone who comes, it will be difficult to do business in the future."
Donna said "Oh", then asked curiously: "So what are you going to do?"
Colliver said softly, "Just give them a little scare, and let them know what it means to protect the environment."
As he said this, he walked towards the Weiguo merchant.
Zhong Zuo, who hadn't heard the conversation at all, still had a relaxed smile on his face and asked, "Well, our conditions are absolutely generous..."
But before he could continue, Colliver sighed artificially and said seriously, "The captain of the guards and I both think that what the gentlemen said makes sense. The environment does need to be protected."
Zhong Zuo started laughing and glanced proudly at Li Zheng beside him.
But Li Zheng felt something was wrong.
Because he vaguely felt that there was not much sincerity in the words of the beardless Banqui man in front of him.
Even a little cold.
But before he could ask, Colliver went on, "In fact, human presence is the biggest obstacle to the environment. We leave animals nowhere to hide, we prevent trees from growing properly, and even the movement of ships disturbs the fish. Take this boat, for example. It looks like it was built by the Qi shipyard. It's making quite a noise, and I'm afraid it's disturbed a lot of fish trying to spawn."
Everyone in Wei State: ...
I always feel like something is wrong.
Do you Banqui people always think so extreme?
Donna was thinking, it was indeed the shipyard of Immortal Yu Xiaohai.
At this moment, she seemed to understand why the news of the pirate capture was not released.
If everyone knew that there were not enough pirates to catch at sea, the sales of this ship would probably be greatly hindered.
Zhong Zuo was confused by these words.
He seemed to choke for a moment before he said dryly, "Then, what are you going to do?"
Colliver smiled and suddenly raised his hand.
Donna cooperated, "Alert!"
The next second, the guards all picked up their weapons and pointed them directly at the Weiguo merchants.
Zhong Zuo was shocked and was about to speak.
Then Colliver said in a gentle voice, "In that case, I hope you gentlemen will set an example. Rumor has it that someone fed a tiger with his own body, which was quite compassionate. So, I'll release you gentlemen into the sea to feed the fish. That would be a tribute to the classic."
Zhong Zuo: …???
