The Alchemist God

Can't you really help us?

Shang Qian looked at Sikong Yao with red eyes, and said, Why not... Ah Yao.

Si Kongyao was very soft-hearted towards her best friend, she supported Shang Qian's fragrant shoulders and said, I can't do it without me, but I still have to discuss it with everyone. I'm not the only one who decides about Bai Ze's mercenaries. Sending troops is easy to say, but It's about the future fate of 180,000 Bai Ze mercenaries, I have to be more cautious, sister don't need to worry, just give me some time, okay?

Um.

Shang Qian nodded slightly.

But Liu Buyi had already stood up, his face was full of determination, and he said lightly: No, there is no discussion.

Liu Buyi.

King Lan Ji jumped up against the case and said: Whether this Bai Ze mercenary has the final say, you or Miss Sikong Yao has the final say, don't be so aggressive, kid, don't forget, you are also from the Xishan Province of my Tianji Empire people.

Yeah.

Liu Buyi smiled faintly: But I don't remember any favors that the empire has given me. Everyone calls me a beating when they see me, and everyone looks down on me Liu Buyi. Tell me, why do I sacrifice my life for such a country.

you.

What are you? Liu Buyi punched the table, causing the tea set to fly, and said, In the past six months, we have continued to expand and wiped out and merged more than 90% of the mercenary groups in the Blackstone Empire. What is the purpose of continuous training and elimination of inferior soldiers, is it just to work for a prince like you.

As he said that, the veins on Liu Buyi's face bulged, and he said with a smile, Go ahead, I'm not your subject, and you're not my master. When my fist is bigger than yours, and my military power is more powerful than yours At that time, why didn’t Lao Tzu become the emperor himself, but kneel down to a villain like you.”

King Lan Ji was trembling with anger, but he was speechless.

Sikong Yao said indifferently: Liu Buyi, don't say a few words, what if His Royal Highness Lan Ji gets angry?

Liu Buyi took a step back respectfully, knelt down on one knee, landed his right fist naturally, gave a military salute, and said, Yes, this subordinate understands.

Shang Qian was startled.

King Lan Ji's eyes shot brightly, he could tell that Liu Buyi's way of saluting was not the way of saluting in Tianji Continent, but the standard military salute in the Broken Cauldron Realm, and along the way, he also found out what Bai Ze's mercenaries were doing. The etiquette followed is basically the continuation of the etiquette of the Qin Empire army.

you……

King Lan Ji's face was livid, and he said, You are from the Broken Cauldron Realm, and you are from Lin Muyu.

Liu Buyi smiled and nodded: That's right, we were originally Qin Wang Lin Muyu's people, and we didn't say anything for more than half a year, and now we suddenly feel so happy.

The corner of Sikong Yao's mouth twitched: Liu Buyi, you talk too much.

King Lan Ji took a few steps back, his face was a little pale: Why... why even Miss Sikongyao betrayed the motherland, why... why exactly?

Have I betrayed the motherland?

Sikong Yao asked back with a smile: Your Highness, have I ever killed an innocent citizen of the Tianji Empire? Have I invaded an inch of the land of the Tianji Empire? I just established an army in the Blackstone Empire with my own ability. , Why do you say that I am treasonous, just now I was thinking about using my troops to reinforce the Tianji Empire, why do you say that I, Sikong Yao, have treasonable?

You and I……

King Lan Ji was also a tumultuous figure in the palace, but at this moment he had no idea what to say.

Sikong Yao pursed her red lips, and said: Actually, after all, the Tianji Empire is indeed my homeland, and I have to save it, but the 180,000 people under my command are not all from the Tianji Empire. They sacrificed their lives to fight in vain, so... for the sake of Sister Shang Qian, I agree to send troops...

Really. Shang Qian was overjoyed.

King Lan Ji was also taken aback: Miss is serious.

It's true, but don't worry, I have conditions.

What conditions, please tell me.

Sikong Yao twitched her red lips, her bright eyes were full of touching expressions, and said with a smile: First of all, if I send 180,000 Baize mercenaries to the north to help, then the Blackstone Empire will definitely make a move. I have a grudge against my Bai Ze mercenaries. Once my Bai Ze mercenaries leave Beiguan, they will definitely seal the door and won’t let Bai Ze mercenaries back, so this also means... Bai Ze mercenaries left It is a road of no turning back, we Bai Ze mercenaries sit in the territory of the Black Stone Empire with seven counties and cities, and collect taxes by ourselves, but once we go north, what will we have?

King Lan Ji groaned, feeling a little cold in his heart. After three years of seeing each other, Si Kongyao is no longer that beautiful girl who only knows how to practice and fight. At this time, Sikongyao is not only unfathomable in strength, even her resourcefulness is not what it used to be. By contrast, he frowned and said: Before this king's trip, His Majesty has given me some power to make decisions. If you have anything to say, please speak up.

good.

Si Kongyao smiled knowingly, and said: It's actually very simple. Once Bai Ze's mercenaries enter the territory of the Tianji Empire, I need a place to stand. I don't want to be the target of public criticism immediately after the battle. The so-called cunning rabbit dies. Running dog cooking, what I mean... King Lan Ji should be very clear about it.

Understood. King Lan Ji murmured, and said: My lady's army must be going out of Beiguan, passing through Xishan Province, and attacking the Tianjue Imperial Army in Dongning Province. Then... I can make the decision on behalf of Your Majesty. , divide the seven states and counties in the south of Xishan Province to Baize mercenaries, you can station in the city, and the local state capital will directly hand over the collected taxes to the eldest lady, so as to replenish the Baize mercenaries.

Is it just seven states and counties?

Si Kongyao couldn't help laughing: Your Highness, with all due respect, there are a total of 180,000 Baize mercenaries, and half of them are iron cavalry. Calculated as each equipped with two weapons, there are a total of 360,000 weapons, 360,000 Tens of thousands of armors, even equipped with at least 100,000 grooms, the mere seven states and counties may not be able to support such a huge army. Don't forget, Your Highness, we are mercenaries. The reason why we can survive in the Black Stone Empire is It's because we plundered everywhere, does His Highness still want us to plunder everywhere in the Tianji Empire?

Seven states and counties are not enough, so...how much does the eldest miss want. King Lan Ji's eyes were bright.

Sikong Yao nodded her head and smiled shyly: Actually... Xiping City, the capital of Xishan Province, is also one of the famous cities on the mainland. It has abundant taxes and a strong city. If His Highness doesn't mind, Ayao is willing to guard Xiping City for the empire.

What. King Lan Ji was shocked: The Baize mercenaries want Xiping City.

Why, can't you? Liu Buyi raised his eyebrows.

At the meeting of the 18 ten thousand chiefs, Qi Qi stood up: Why, this is not possible and you still want us to send troops to work for you.

Under the prestige, King Lan Ji's momentum suddenly weakened, and he gradually understood that since he and Shang Qian stepped into the general's mansion, they have fallen into a trap. Liu Buyi and Sikong Yao are obviously singing a double reed opera , and I only understand now, it's too late.

Sikong Yao smiled very sweetly, and said: Your Highness can decide by himself, but Ayao wants to remind you that if you seal Xiping City to me, maybe the Tianji Empire will have peace, but if you don't seal it to me, the Tianji Empire will lose It's not just Xiping City, maybe Dongning City, Huoyuan City, Tianji City... will soon become Chen Yu's residence.

King Lan Ji took a deep breath, his face was ashen, and said: Let me think about it... After all, Xiping City is a provincial capital, and it is not something that I, a little Zuo Wang, can decide. Maybe I need to petition His Majesty to get His Majesty's approval. Only after your approval.

Sikong Yao smiled lightly and said: That's good...we will wait for His Highness's reply at the Devil's Palm Peaks, but... I just don't know if Dongning City can stop the attack of Chen Yu's army, even if it is fast, Your Highness will come It will take more than ten days between returning to Tianji City, please think again.

King Lan Ji fell silent immediately, and sat there slumped.

After a long while, he raised his head and said, I have a royal decree from His Majesty, and I can make my own decisions. If Miss Sikongyao wants, Xiping City and the seven counties in the south of Xishan Province will be given to you as fiefdoms. Bar.

That's not okay.

Sikong Yao stretched his arms lazily, and said: There are seven states and counties in the south of Xiping City, and seven states and counties in the north. Well, isn't it because my family beat my own family, in my opinion, His Highness might as well reward me with the seven northern states and counties.

King Lan Ji trembled all over: You...you actually want the land of the entire Xishan Province.

Is there a problem.

Sikong Yao's beautiful eyes turned cold, and suddenly his aura surged, as if he was king.

King Lan Ji's voice trembled: No, if all the fiefs are given to you, His Majesty will definitely punish me for my crime.

It's fine if you don't agree.

Si Kongyao embraced her arms, put a pair of slender snowy legs on the table, and said: Anyway, it's not bad for Bai Ze's mercenaries to be a mercenary king here. They eat and drink, and plunder the government's treasury everywhere. Black Stone Even the dog emperor of the empire dare not provoke me.

Seeing that the scene was a bit stiff, Shang Qian said, Your Highness Zuo Wang, in my opinion... Ayao wants these Xishan provinces as fiefdoms, so I will reward her. By the way, I canonize Ayao as the princess of Xiping, anyway, Yao is a member of the empire, so why not let her rule the Xishan Province, in this case, you can justify it in front of His Majesty.

King Lan Ji's heart brightened, and he said: That's right... I don't know if Miss Sikongyao is willing to accept the title of Princess Xiping.

It doesn't matter to me.

Sikong Yao lazily smiled and said: But I have conditions. Although the Tianji Empire gave me the title of Princess Xiping, I will not serve the emperor. My army is still controlled by myself. In addition, my fief I will no longer pay money and food to the imperial capital, and I will distribute all the officials myself.

You are...

King Lan Ji felt a chill deep in his heart: Miss Sikong Yao, are you going to crack the earth to seal the king?

Yes, that's right.

Sikong Yao said bluntly: I just want to have my own territory, and I will no longer submit to the rule of any emperor, but...make me the princess of Xiping, so that I am still a member of the Tianji Empire in name, at least His Royal Highness Lan Ji made sense at Beimingyuan. Deception is what you people are good at, isn’t it? In short, whether you want the Xishan Province or the entire Tianji Empire, His Highness decides on his own, and I will not interfere with you decision.

...

Everyone was silent.

After nearly half a stick of incense, King Lan Ji said calmly: I will send a feather letter back to Tianji City to ask for the will. The wolf falcon flies fast, and it only takes three days to go back and forth. Miss Si Kongyao, please wait for the canonization.

good.

Si Kongyao was complacent, and smiled knowingly with Liu Buyi and others.
