Born short-lived

"Sure enough, you are a good-looking talent," Wendell said with a smile, "You have been stationed in the East China Sea for many years, how are your crown prince and General Zeng doing?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a dead silence in the banquet, only some slight hissing sounds of sucking air, and the atmosphere was almost stagnant.

Zhou Zirong couldn't help but froze when he heard this, and then reacted, suppressing his anger and continued to laugh: "For the blessing of your country, the crown prince is well, and General Zeng rest in peace."

"Ah, that's good." Wendell laughed deeper, making people inexplicably feel that he was a bit malicious, "Hey, I suddenly remembered that six or seven years ago, it was also your East China Sea, and you were still in the Southeast China Sea. From Nanyang... Hey, I'm old too, I can't remember clearly, many people have been killed, can you find out about that?"

Zhou Zirong was shocked again, his fists hidden under the table were clenched, and with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he replied calmly, "Your Majesty will not bother you."

"Hey, it's really not easy for General Zhou to be successful at a young age. If your younger brother hadn't died in Nanyang, he must be as good as you." Wendell sighed regretfully, "It's a pity, young master Zhou. , General Zhou must have tried his best to thoroughly investigate the Southeast China Sea and Nanyang, as a comfort to the heroes."

"Your Majesty, you and I have never met before, and what happened back then has nothing to do with your country. I didn't expect His Majesty to know so much. Zhou is really flattered." Zhou Zirong raised his eyebrows and smiled, and replied coldly.

The anger on the Nanyang envoy's side has not yet been suppressed. Seeing that a basin of dirty water is about to be poured on them again at this moment, he immediately jumped up from his seat and shouted furiously: "Wendel! Tell me clearly! !What do you mean!"

"Lord Shitemi, please be safe and don't be impatient." Li Chongwen winked at the deputy envoy next to the Silan envoy Shitemi with a smile, "There are many misunderstandings, but we gradually figured out that Daling is separated from us by the sea. And look, some things will inevitably change their taste when they spread there.”

Silan's deputy envoy understood, and hurriedly persuaded Shitemi to sit back in her seat and take a breather.

Wendell made it clear that he wanted to sow dissension. What Zhou Zirong and Li Chongwen said just now was just to remind Da Ling not to meddle in other people's business.

Wendell was silent for a while, looked around at the envoys of the various countries, and then laughed to himself, with a gloomy expression and said: "Since the various countries have formed this alliance and recognized me as the suzerain country, then I, Da Ling, is your elder brother. The reason for inviting everyone here today is also very simple, Huaxu's Donghai has such a big incident, and it is guaranteed that it will affect the whole world in the future, shouldn't I, the big brother, do my best?"

However, in fact, no one cares about his "mean power".

Wendell went on to say: "I know that you have a lot of prejudice against my Tianji Pavilion, so I won't take the Tianji Pavilion out to make you laugh. But I still have a very serious army, These days, the East China Sea and Nanyang are not at peace, and there are many things that are not clear. Brother Silan has encountered difficulties over the years and is short of manpower. Wouldn't it be good for me to let my people help Brother Silan?"

As soon as Nashitemi heard it, he was about to go into a fit again, but fortunately, he was stopped by the deputy envoy with quick eyesight and quick hands.The deputy envoy pushed down Shitemi, stood up on his own initiative and replied respectfully; "Your Majesty, although we in Sri Lanka are not as rich in products and treasury as Daling, and we don't have millions of soldiers like your country, but our ability to take care of ourselves will eventually come to an end. There are still some, Nanyang, don't bother..."

"Hey, isn't the deputy envoy not going to give me a lot of face?" Wendell interrupted suddenly, and smiled inexplicably, "Actually, there is no rush for this matter, you go back and tell Aldan, Let him think about it for himself."

The deputy envoy was dumb, took a sip of tea from the cup with one hand, and secretly pulled Shitemi to keep him from having a seizure with the other hand.

Li Chongwen didn't say a word, Zhou Zirong knew something was wrong, but he didn't have any solution, so he had to stay silent together.

Originally, Daling and Huaxu faced each other across the sea. Although Daling's national strength was stronger, if he sailed from one side of the ocean to the other side to knock on Huaxu's pass, whether it was fuel costs, military rations, or the fleet's ocean-going combat power and reinforcements, It is inevitable that they will not be able to keep up.

If Wendell's wish is really fulfilled and Da Ling is allowed to station his troops in Sri Lanka, then Huaxu's southern border will never be peaceful.

But if they were allowed to camp in Silan, in front of Huaxu's house, it would be equivalent to Huaxu being strangled by someone.

Moreover, Huaxu's supply of white crystals mainly comes from Silan. If Silan is captured by Daling, it is difficult for Huaxu to have sufficient sources of white crystals.And it is estimated that the Tianhe State in the north of Sri Lanka will not be able to live in peace by then.

The second half of the meeting ended hastily in an extremely strange and dull atmosphere. Li Chongwen greeted and said goodbye to the envoys from other countries as usual. Dare to come up and talk to him.

Although Luo Chi didn't quite understand what was going on, he also knew it was not a good thing, so he was very sensible and didn't ask.

When they finally broke through the siege and returned to the Palace of Nations, Zhou Zirong closed the door without saying anything, and immediately lowered his face; "Master Li, do you need to write a note to inform His Majesty?"

"Well, that's inevitable." Li Chongwen sat down at the table with a sullen expression, rubbing a porcelain cup in his hand, "This time Daling didn't take advantage of the Panyang matter, I'm afraid Si Lan It’s doomed.”

In the end, the disaster in the East China Sea can be regarded as thunderous and rainy among the four seas. The crown prince is fine, and the general did not die directly on the battlefield. Moreover, because Hua Xu and Pan Yang passed through the air in advance, they both tacitly refused to admit it. Coupled with the fact that Chi Yun's old You Tiao was in command of the Panyang Special Envoy, even if Da Ling wanted to pick things up, it would not be of any practical benefit.

Furthermore, Panyang can be regarded as a big place in the East China Sea. Compared with Slan, a troubled place with rough seas and poor people's livelihood, it is not easy to mess with after all.

And Nashitemi couldn't hold back for a while, so Wendell took advantage of the loophole and held on to her.

Judging from Wendell's tone, it seems that he is very sure about Aldan.No matter what the reason is, it is very unfavorable to Hua Xu, and he must make preparations early.

"We have an envoy in Sri Lanka now, hurry up and write a book, and send him a copy of what Wendell said just now." Li Chongwen put down the cup in his hand, and ordered the boy to fetch a stack of papers.

"Didn't our envoy go to Silan..." Zhou Zirong originally wanted to say that our envoy didn't go to Silan to get mines, but after thinking about it carefully, since Li Chongwen could say that, then he didn't just talk nonsense, "Well, I knew."
