Chapter 307 [Requesting External Aid]
The king laughed bitterly, "We royals have lived in the royal city for so long, it'll take some time to leave!"
"It's better to be more self-aware and not ask us to treat you."
Wen Qiao stood up and flicked his sleeves: "Since we still have half a day left today, our Hailing Amusement Park will start construction today."
The king bowed and followed her out, looking very cooperative. "Then if you need anything, just tell us royals to do it."
Wen Qiao said indifferently, "No need. Let your people go wherever they want and take care of your naughty kids."
King: "...Yes."
After sending off the big Buddha Wen Qiao, the King of Mi Kingdom sat back on his throne.
Less than half an hour later, the Prime Minister arrived in a hurry, "Your Majesty, Divine Envoy Wen Qiao and his navy have surrounded Haiyin Square."
The king held his forehead and sighed, "I know. She has just informed me."
The king told the story of Wen Qiao coming to see him earlier. After hearing it, the prime minister was furious and jumped up and down: "This is too much!"
Then he calmed down as if he had imagined something: "Don't be angry, King. We must remain calm and wait for the arrival of reinforcements."
The Prime Minister gnashed his teeth and said, "If it weren't for the fact that these reinforcements had come from afar and didn't know how to swim, how could these people have been so arrogant?"
The king's expression calmed down a bit, and his eyes became deep and distant.
The Prime Minister described the reinforcements on their way in vivid detail: "These tall aliens are nine-headed and live on the edge of a knife. The weapons they wield are also very powerful. I heard they even have secret weapons that can attack the ground from the sky."
The king picked up the bronze mirror and looked at his swollen eyes. "Are the reinforcements you mentioned really reliable?"
The Prime Minister nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, as long as we give them enough gold, they can do anything for us."
He picked up a palm-leaf fan and fanned the king. "And they also want to withdraw from the desert and move to a more habitable territory."
The Prime Minister lowered his voice and said, "I heard that he offended someone in the desert."
"Not only is the desert scorching hot, but I heard there's serious conflict among the factions. They want to find a new place to gain a foothold, so they have no choice but to help us."
The palm-leaf fan brought a gentle cool breeze, and the heart of the King of Mi Kingdom calmed down. He hoped that the reinforcements they requested this time would not bring disaster upon themselves.

That afternoon, Jiang Lili and his team started work with their army.
Amusement rides such as roller coasters, carousels, and pirate ships were not in Jiang Lili's plan. Not only were they energy-consuming, they also posed safety hazards and took a long time to build.
They needed some rides that were quick and easy to operate.
So when Zhang Xiaopang, looking apprehensive, handed the shopping list to his assistant, the assistant was stunned to see the "rocking car," "inflatable castle," "marshmallow maker," and "Thomas the Tank Engine" items on the list. Although he was puzzled, he quickly contacted the manufacturers. The ancient comrades must have had their reasons for doing so!
With the help of 5,000 Yaguo navy soldiers and their families, Sea Eagle Square was soon cordoned off with black cloth.
When it got dark, Sheng Zhixing came quietly.
After he landed on the island yesterday, he secretly took a look around the nearest Haibei Ranch. Because he looked harmless, the herders in the pastoral area thought he was a stray old man who had strayed into the pastoral area and was a little mentally abnormal. They felt sorry for him and gave him some food.
At that time, Jiang Lili and her team were installing the newly arrived equipment at the venue.
Jiang Lili saw Sheng Zhixing and asked, "How's it going? How's your investigation into the situation at Seashell Ranch?"
Sheng Zhixing rubbed his legs, which were sore from walking. "Most of the herders in the pastoral area are quite friendly, but they are very resistant to you, the goddess."
Jiang Lili was confused: "Why? Is it because when there is a water shortage and it rains, our rainfall range is limited to the Mi Kingdom tribal area outside the Haibei Ranch?"
Wen Qiao was also puzzled: "Let's not talk about the fact that Seashell Ranch is an area blocked by the royal family and we can't go there, not to mention that they didn't have much impact during the drought."
Sheng Zhixing shared the intelligence he had learned: "The herders are most afraid that after the Haibei Ranch changes owners, their treatment will deteriorate and they will not have enough to eat."
"The herders have lived on Haibei Ranch year-round and are isolated from information. The royal family and they are hyping up the idea that a terrifying witch is about to take over Haibei Ranch, threatening the king and the royal family."
Sheng Zhixing's words made Jiang Lili understand what tricks the Miguo royal family was playing. "Isn't this tarnishing our image?"
"If we're talking about villains, these royal nobles are the real villains."
Wen Qiao frowned as he recalled what he had seen yesterday: "The way the nobles treated the royal servants who were grilling meat at the welcome banquet yesterday, treating human lives as worthless, I knew they wouldn't be any kinder to the herdsmen under their command."
Jiang Lili turned her gaze towards the amusement rides being installed. "Never mind. We'll fight back. I don't believe we can't get a piece of this fat piece of meat."
As Sheng Zhixing was talking to a few people, his attention was drawn to the two rocking cars installed in the venue.
Sheng Zhixing was a little surprised to see such a modern thing all of a sudden: "Wow, where did this rocking car come from?"
Sheng Zhixing pointed in horror at the two rocking cars in the shape of Pleasant Goat and Beautiful Goat, one on the left and one on the right of the amusement park entrance.
It had been a long time since he had seen such an ancient thing. It brought back his childhood memories and he had an urge to sit on it.
"Well, aren't there usually two coin-operated rocking cars at the entrance of supermarkets?"
Jiang Lili shrugged. "Xiaopang didn't have enough time to purchase so many amusement rides in such a short period of time, so he simply asked his assistant to move two of the ones that were already in front of his grandfather's supermarket."
Sheng Zhixing clapped his hands and praised: "Brother Xiaopang is still as filial as ever!"
Wen Qiao connected the rocking car's wiring, clapped his hands, stood up, and said, "The diesel generator has arrived, and the power supply is now connected. Who can sit on the rocking car and test whether it works properly?"
When Jiang Lili and Sheng Zhixing heard this, they looked at each other. In fact, they all wanted to try it, but they were too embarrassed to do so.
“Ahem—”
Sheng Zhixing coughed dryly to hide his embarrassment: "Since everyone thinks it's childish and doesn't want to try it, then I'll stand up and give it a try!"
As he spoke, he sat down on the rocking car.
Sheng Zhixing sat on the rocking car and asked expectantly, "Where's the coin? Someone give me a coin!"
Wen Qiao stuffed a basket of coins into Sheng Zhixing's hands, and Sheng Zhixing couldn't wait to put coins into the rocking car.
