Chapter 317 The fisherman gets a profit
The king knocked on the prime minister's head and said, "Do you think I haven't thought about this? I sent someone to deliver a gift, but the messenger was stabbed out before he could reach the top of the mountain, breaking one of his legs. The Moon Tribe people gave the messenger a breath to come back and report, warning our country of Mi not to disturb their lives in the mountains."
A deep fear flashed across the king's face. If these Moon Clan members had ambitions, they would have annexed their Panyue Playground long ago. Leaving pasture for them was like giving them a leeway, telling them to stay in their own circle and not cause trouble.
"In any case, we can fight here, but we must not disturb the Moon Clan members on the other side of the mountain! Otherwise, if they join us, we will surely die."
The Prime Minister's eyes rolled around, and he suddenly lowered his voice, "What if it's not us who disturbed the Moon Clan's life in the mountains, but the Goddess and the God's Envoys?"
"King, which of these two forces do you think is more powerful?"
The words of the prime minister inspired the king. His face immediately became solemn, and then a cruel and treacherous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I don't know who is more powerful, but I know very well that when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits."
No matter which side loses the fight, it is good news for the royal family of Mi Kingdom! If the Goddess's envoys are defeated, their royal family will have more hope of regaining power; if the Moon Clan is defeated, the scope of Yuemi Mountain controlled by Mi Kingdom can be expanded to the south!
Moreover, it would definitely be a fierce battle between the two sides, and perhaps one would die and one would be injured. By then, when the reinforcements from their country of Mi arrive...
Can't we start picking up leaks? !
The king thought so, and the smile on his face grew wider. He patted the prime minister on the shoulder with a flushed face and said, "Prime Minister, I was right about you! You are my indispensable right-hand man!"
The master and the servant both grinned wickedly and began to discuss how to make these two powerful forces confront each other.
After the new conspiracy was almost discussed, the king thought of something: "By the way, the goddess's forces took over the Haibei Ranch. What was the reaction of the herdsmen in the Haibei Ranch?"
The Prime Minister bowed and said in a flattering tone: "King, you are indeed very smart. After spreading the rumor that Jiang Lili is a witch in various districts of Haibei Ranch in advance, the herdsmen are in a panic."
"Some people who were in disarray sought refuge from the royal guards. Our people have been comforting them and distributing some food and clothes to them. They are very grateful to us."
The king smiled. It seemed that following the ancestral teachings was the right thing to do. These skilled herdsmen at Haibei Ranch had lived under the strict control of their royal family for generations and had very little communication with the outside world.
Under the brainwashing of the royal family, many herders believe that the royal family of Mi is their heaven and their savior, and the idea of being slaves and servants of the royal family has been engraved in their bones.
"Since they are so panicked, let's add fuel to the fire!"
Three days later, when Haibei Ranch was almost under control, Jiang Lili brought Wen Qiao and Master Liao to the northern tribe to confront the king.
After the false messengers of the northern tribes were locked up, this place became deserted, with few cattle or sheep to be seen on the vast grasslands.
When they arrived at the felt house where the king lived, Wen Qiao, who had been to the northern tribe, looked at the felt house and felt that it looked familiar. It seemed to be the felt house where the high priest of the Mi Kingdom had lived.
It was Wen Qiao's arrangement to have the royal family members move to the northern tribe. She wanted to see if she could dig up something else in the northern tribe.
The king, this old fox, chose to live in the former residence of the high priest. He must be no simple man.
Wen Qiao curled her lips, took Master Liao's hand, and accompanied Jiang Lili into the felt room.
There is a surveillance camera installed in the room. Although it cannot be connected to the Internet, the king's every move is recorded. We can just replace the memory card in the camera when the king is not around.
When the two men came in, the king was playing Go elegantly, playing against himself.
Seeing Jiang Lili and her group coming, he had to pretend: "I wonder what the goddess has come to do for you?"
Wen Qiao didn't waste any more words and asked, "King, where is the owner of the 30th ivory whistle?"
The king smiled but did not directly answer Wen Qiao's question: "God's messenger, take a look at my chess game."
Wen Qiao was not a Go expert, so she pushed Master Liao.
Master Liao walked up to the king and took a glance at the chessboard. He immediately felt familiar with it. He had seen this game in Go records before. It was a famous game of high difficulty.
He picked up the black piece and placed it on the board quickly and decisively, blocking the white piece's path in an instant.
The king's face turned green in an instant, and then he looked at Jiang Lili, who was standing silently in the room, with fear.
The smile on his face was transferred to Wen Qiao's face, and Wen Qiao smiled ostentatiously: "King, stop playing tricks on us. Look at the obstacles you have set for us with great effort. Did they succeed?"
The king maintained his expression and said, "How can you say it is an obstruction? I told the envoy from the beginning that not all members of the royal family listen to me."
He said mysteriously, "It is really inconvenient for the owner of the 30th ranch section to show up."
Wen Qiao raised his eyebrows suspiciously: "It's inconvenient to show up? What do you mean?"
The king nodded and said, "Please prepare a carriage and horses for me to go to a place."
Jiang Lili and the others came to the northern tribe by carriage. Wen Qiao grabbed the king and dragged him out.
After the king was dragged away by Wen Qiao, Master Liao quickly ran to the door of the felt room to keep watch. Jiang Lili instantly transformed from a cold goddess into a stealthy agent. She took out the camera storage card installed in the felt room and replaced it with a new one.
After doing all this, the two came to the carriage parked in the northern tribe.
The king, who was forced into the carriage, looked suspiciously at Jiang Lili who came out later.
The king guessed that the goddess must be searching his room for some suspicious items or letters, but unfortunately, as smart as he was, he would definitely not leave any evidence in his own residence.
But the king could not have imagined, even if he racked his clever brain, that there was a magical object in his room that could record his every move.
The driver of the carriage was a villager from the Danyun tribe. When he saw the goddess coming out, he asked Wen Qiao respectfully, "Goddess, where are we going next?"
Wen Qiao looked at the king.
The coachman also looked towards the king. The king who was once high and mighty was now sitting on his seat like an ordinary person, without any boundaries. This feeling was very wonderful. The fear of the royal family had been eliminated little by little in his heart. This was all the confidence given by the goddess and messenger.
The king straightened his wrinkled robes and said to the driver, "Let's go to the Golden Bamboo Temple."
Obviously, the Jinzhu Temple was a place known to all the people in Mi. When the driver heard the place name, he immediately parked the carriage and headed towards the Jinzhu Temple without asking any more questions.
