"Can't you really help us?"
Shang Qian looked at Sikong Yao with red eyes and said, "Why not, A Yao?"
Sikong Yao was very soft-hearted towards his best friend.
He held Shang Qian's shoulders and said, "You can't do it without me, but I still have to discuss it with everyone.
I don't have the final say on the Baize mercenaries alone.
It's easy to send out troops, but It is related to the future fate of the 180,000 Baize mercenaries.
I must be more cautious.
Sister, don’t worry, just give me some time, okay?"
"Um."
Shang Qian nodded lightly.
But Liu Buyi had already stood up, his face full of determination, and said calmly: "No, there is no need to discuss."
"Liu Buyi" King Lan Ji stood up and said: "Do you have the final say about this Baize mercenary or Miss Sikong Yao?
Don't be so aggressive.
Don't forget, you are also from the Xishan Province of my Tianji Empire." " "Yeah" Liu Buyi smiled faintly: "But I don't remember any favors the empire has given me.
Everyone yells at me when they see me, and everyone looks down on me Liu Buyi.
Tell me why I have to sacrifice my life for such a country."
"you" "What are you?"
Liu Buyi punched the table, causing the tea set to fly up, and said: "In the past six months, we have continued to expand, killing and merging more than 90% of the mercenary groups in the Blackstone Empire one by one.
What is the purpose of constantly training and eliminating inferior soldiers?
Is it just to work for a prince like you?"
As he spoke, the veins on Liu Buyi's face popped up, and he smiled and said: "Go ahead and dream, I am not your subject, and you are not my master.
My fist is bigger than yours, and my military power is more than yours."
When the time comes, why don’t I become the emperor myself, but I have to kneel down to a villain like you?”
King Lan Ji was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he was speechless.
Sikong Yao said calmly: "Liu Buyi, please stop saying a few words.
What if His Royal Highness King Lan Ji gets angry?"
Liu Buyi took a respectful step back, knelt on one knee, landed his right fist naturally, performed a military salute, and said, "Yes, I understand."
Shang Qian was startled.
But King Lan Ji's eyes shone brightly.
He could see that Liu Buyi's salute was not the salute of Tianji Continent, but the standard military salute of Broken Cauldron World.
Moreover, along the way, he also discovered the Baize Mercenary Station.
The etiquette followed is basically the continuation of the etiquette of the Qin Empire's army.
"you" King Lan Ji looked livid and said: "You are from the Broken Cauldron Realm and you are from Lin Muyu."
Liu Buyi smiled and nodded: "Yes, we were originally the people of King Qin Lin Muyu.
We held it in for more than half a year and didn't say it out loud.
Now we suddenly feel so relaxed."
Sikong Yao raised the corners of his mouth: "Liu Buyi, you talk too much."
King Lan Ji took a few steps back, his face a little pale: "Why would even Miss Sikong Yao betray your motherland?
Why on earth?"
"Have I betrayed the motherland?"
Sikong Yao smiled and asked: "Your Highness, have I ever killed an innocent citizen of the Tianji Empire?
Have I ever occupied an inch of the land of the Tianji Empire?
I just built an army in the Blackstone Empire with my own abilities.
You Why do you say that I am treasonous?
Just now I was considering using my troops to reinforce the Tianji Empire.

Why do you just say that I, Sikong Yao, am treasonous?"
"You and me" King Lan Ji was also a turbulent figure in the palace, but at this moment he was at a loss for words.
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 not all the 180,000 people under my command are from the Tianji Empire.
I can't let it happen.
They sacrificed their lives to fight in vain, so for the sake of Sister Shang Qian, I agreed to send troops."
"It's true" Shang Qian was overjoyed.
King Lan Ji was also stunned: "The eldest lady is serious."
"It's true, but don't worry, I have conditions."
"What are the conditions, please tell me."
Sikong Yao twitched her red lips, her smart eyes full of moving expression, and said with a smile: "First of all, if I mobilize all 180,000 Baize mercenaries to march north to help, then there will definitely be movement in the Blackstone Empire.
They would have already I have a grudge against my Baize mercenary.
Once my Baize mercenary comes out, Beiguan, they will definitely seal the door and will not let the Baize mercenaries come back again, so this also means that the Baize mercenaries are taking a road of no turning back.
We, the Baize mercenaries, are sitting in the Blackstone Empire with seven The large counties and cities collect taxes on their own, but once we go to the north, what will we have?"
King Lan Ji groaned, feeling a little cold in his heart.
After three years of not seeing each other, Sikong Yao is no longer the beautiful girl who only knows how to practice and fight.
At this time, not only is Sikong Yao's strength unfathomable, but her resourcefulness is also different from what it used to be.
After comparing, he frowned and said: "Your Majesty has given me some decision-making authority before this king's trip.
If you have anything to say, please speak out."
"good."
Sikong Yao smiled knowingly and said: "Actually, it's very simple.
Once Bai Ze's mercenaries enter the territory of Tianji Empire, I need a foothold.
I don't want to become the target of public criticism immediately after the battle.
As the saying goes, the cunning rabbit dies.
King Lan Ji should understand very well what I mean about running dog cooking.”
"Understood."
King Lan Ji groaned and said: "The eldest lady's army must be going out of Beiguan, passing through Xishan Province, and attacking the Tianjue Empire army in Dongning Province.
Then I can decide on behalf of Your Majesty.
The seven prefectures and counties in the southern part of Xishan Province are allocated to Baize mercenaries.
You can station in the city, and the local state government will directly hand over the taxes collected to the eldest lady to provide supplies for Baize mercenaries. " "Is it just seven states and counties?"
Sikong Yao couldn't help laughing: "Your Highness, with all due respect, there are a total of 180,000 Baize mercenaries, half of whom are cavalry.
Calculated as each person is equipped with two weapons, there are a total of 360,000 weapons and 36 Thousands of armors, and even the number of grooms numbering at least 100,000 , I am afraid that the mere seven states and counties cannot support such a huge army.
Your Highness, please don’t forget that we are mercenaries.
The reason why we can survive in the Blackstone Empire is because we plunder everywhere.
Does Your Highness still want us to be in heaven?
Do you plunder everywhere within the Ji Empire?”
"Seven states and counties are not enough.
How much do you want, Miss?"
King Lan Ji's eyes flashed.
Sikong Yao nodded and smiled shyly: "Actually, Xiping City, the capital of Xishan Province, is one of the famous cities on the mainland.
It has abundant taxes and a strong city.
If Your Highness doesn't mind, A-Yao is willing to guard Xiping City for the empire."
"What?"
King Lan Ji was shocked: "Baize mercenaries want Xiping City" "Why, can't you?"
Liu Buyi raised his eyebrows.
The eighteen thousand captains gathered together and all stood up: "Why, even if this doesn't work, you still want us to send troops to sacrifice our lives for you?"

Under the majestic power, King Lan Ji's momentum suddenly weakened, and he gradually understood that he and Shang Qian had fallen into a trap since they stepped into the general's mansion.
Liu Buyi and Sikong Yao were obviously performing a double act. , and I only understand now that it’s too late Sikong Yao's smile was very sweet and he said: "Your Highness can make your own decision, but A Yao would like to remind you that if you seal Xiping City to me, maybe the Tianji Empire will gain peace, but if you don't grant it to me, the Tianji Empire will lose It’s not just Xiping City, maybe Dongning City, Huoyuan City, and Tianji City will soon become Chen Yu’s palace.”
King Lan Ji took a deep breath, his face was ashen, and said: "Let me think about it, Xiping City is a provincial capital after all.
It is not something that I, a little Zuo King, can decide.
Maybe I need to petition His Majesty and get His Majesty's approval.
Only later.”
Sikong Yao smiled faintly and said: "Well, we will wait for His Highness's reply at the Devil's Palm Peaks, but we just don't know if Dongning City can withstand the attack of Chen Yu's army.
Even if we work hard, Your Highness will come back to Tianji again and again.
The distance between the city and the city is more than ten days, so please think twice.”
King Lan Ji fell silent immediately and sat there dejectedly.
After a while, he raised his head and said: "I have the royal decree given by your majesty, and I can make my own decision.
If Miss Sikong Yao wants it, Xiping City and the seven southern states and counties of Xishan Province will be given to you as fiefs."
Bar"
"That's not okay."
Sikong Yao lazily stretched his arms and said: "There are seven states and counties in the south of Xiping City, and there are seven states and counties in the north.
My soldiers are used to plundering.
If I lose control of my hands, I will attack the seven states and counties in the north.
Well, wouldn’t it mean that my own family is beating my own family?
In my opinion, Your Highness might as well reward me with the seven northern states and counties.”
King Lan Ji trembled all over: "You actually want the entire Xishan Province?"
"Is there any problem?"
Sikong Yao's beautiful eyes froze, and suddenly her aura surged, giving her a feeling of dominion over the world.
Lan Ji's voice trembled: "No, if I give you the entire fiefdom, Your Majesty will definitely punish me."
"Forget it if you don't agree."
Sikong Yao crossed his arms, raised a pair of slender snow legs on the table, and said: "Anyway, it would be good for Baize mercenaries to be mercenary kings here.
They eat and drink well.
They plunder government treasury everywhere.
Black Stone Even the dog emperor of the empire doesn’t dare to mess with me.”
Seeing that the scene was a little stiff, Shang Qian said: "Your Highness, King Zuo, in my opinion, A Yao wants these Xishan Provinces as fiefdoms, so I'll reward her.
By the way, A Yao can be made the Princess of Xiping County.
Anyway, A Yao is As for the people of the empire, why shouldn’t she take charge of Xishan Province?
This can be justified by you in front of His Majesty.”
King Lan Ji's heart brightened and he said: "That's right.
I wonder if Miss Sikong Yao is willing to accept the title of Princess Xiping?"
"I don't care."
Sikong Yao smiled lazily 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 fiefdom I will no longer pay money and food to the imperial capital, and I will distribute all officials on my own."
"What are you" King Lan Ji felt the chill deep in his heart: "Miss Sikong Yao, are you trying to break the earth and seal the king?"
"Yes, that's right."
Sikong Yao said frankly: "I just want to have my own territory, and I will no longer submit to the rule of any emperor.
However, if you make me Princess Xiping, I will still be a member of the Tianji Empire in name, at least Lan Ji."
His Highness Wang is justified in Bei Mingyuan.
Bullying is what you people are good at, isn't it?

In short, whether you want Xishan Province or the entire Tianji Empire, your Highness will decide for yourself, and I will not interfere with your decision. " Everyone was silent.
After nearly half the stick of incense had passed, King Lanji said calmly: "I will send a feather letter back to Tianji City to request the decree.
The wolf falcon flies very fast, and the round trip only takes three days.
Please wait for Miss Sikong Yao to be canonized."
"good."
Sikong Yao was full of ambition and smiled knowingly with Liu Buyi and others
